OXM knows what’s up with Escape from Butcher Bay
This is quite interesting. Do you remember The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay from its glory days on the original Xbox? We sure did have a lot of fun playing that back in 2004, and we’re kind of thinking you did too. Given the game’s first-person fighting style, stealth, and long-range combat, it really was remarkable.
Now, it should be remembered that developer Sweden-based Starbreeze Studios promised, on that same year, to come up with a sequel. Unfortunately, no sequel ever appeared.
But the Official Xbox Magazine (OXM), in its March 2007 issue, has something to say about Escape from Butcher Bay:
Wondering why The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay isn’t backward-compatible with Xbox 360? There’s a really good reason. You will get to play it on 360. In a form you probably wouldn’t expect.
A form we wouldn’t expect, eh? A sequel or a simple port or whatever? Are they talking about a fully downloadable game? We really have no idea and we guess that’s OXM’s intention. To tease us gamers and to stir the pot.
Care to give us a piece of your mind?
