Dark Athena is an 'episodic expansion'

The Diesel-fueled developer calls the theoretical sequel "ambitious," adding that its arrival is largely contingent on whether or not the fans like the upcoming title and "tell us [they] want more." In short, money talks if players want to continue to live vicariously through Vin Diesel's manly virtual physique. Then again, there's always The Wheelman ... maybe.

I heard some of the developers on a podcast last week and they bought my support. They seem to be REALLY into the series and creating something for gamers who missed out on the Xbox title.

I didn't miss out on the PC title.

You and 5 other guys. Everyone else was busy playing The Sims: Party Island.

Translation " Don't bitch at us because its short... you have been forewarned".
Im all for short games so long as they are amazing.

It's going to be like 20 hours, only 10 of it is new. So if you haven't played the original, I don't think there will be anything short about it.
Erluti @ Dec 17th 2008 1:35PM
Oh yeah, this time it will also have multiplayer!

Cannot wait to pick this one up. EFBB was so damn amazing, and I haven't played it in over 2 years!

In that case, I hope the game sells well. Because the original was fantastic, and this looks even more fantastic. So a full-on sequel would be tops.

In my heart, I have already bought this.

I knew nothing about this until it was reported on last week, or whenever it was. Now though, i'm quite excited. Hopefully it does turn out well and they do make more! More of a good thing is always good!

Except for maybe too much of a good thing. That isn't good, is it?

Is it me or does the guy in that pic look like Ludacris?
aristokrat @ Dec 17th 2008 2:16PM
I think it looks more like Colin Powell.
Ihavepants @ Dec 17th 2008 3:22PM
He's got a touch of Vin Diesel also.
ChomskyKnows @ Dec 17th 2008 2:42PM
maybe Ludacris IS Colin Powell.
aristokrat @ Dec 17th 2008 3:26PM
So that's why he didn't run for President. The pieces are finally starting to fall into place.

Maybe the next game will be released along with the next movie?

I know i'm on my own here.. but i always thought Chronicles of Riddick would be a great game to port to the Wii.
They might have to sacrifice a few shaders.. but i keep thinking that the combat would rock with the wiimote.
