The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay | Xbox | Longplay Full Game Walkthrough

Longplay of the Xbox version of The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, an FPP Stealth-Action game, prequel to a 2000 horror movie Pitch Black. Included in is the story of how Riddick got his peculiar eyesight. It was developed by Starbreeze Studios, and published by Vivendi Universal Games, in June 2004 for the Xbox, and December 2004 for the PC Windows, this here being the longplay of OG Xbox version of the game, running on an original Xbox hardware, at 480p display mode, and using the natively-implemented Widescreen mode (beautiful one, at that). Recorded at 1440p60 H.265 HEVC via OBS.

The game is running on Starbreeze's own engine, one of the first games in existence to support and use Dynamic Resolution Scaling, making the Xbox release the first ever console game to do so, I believe. And yes, it's being utilized here HEAVILY, with the game looking very pixelated at times, but nonetheless - it holds the 30 FPS framerate REALLY well. Which... you know, during the dark times of PS2/Xbox and X360/PS3 generations, was not at all a given. So this is a welcome feature!

===================
Escape from Butcher Bay is set in the futuristic science fiction universe of the Chronicles of Riddick franchise, and is a prequel to the film Pitch Black. The game takes place inside Butcher Bay, a maximum-security prison from which no prisoner has escaped. The facility—constructed on a barren planet—contains three increasingly secure holding areas, and a subterranean mining operation.

The game's protagonist is Richard B. Riddick (reprised by Vin Diesel), a murderer recently confined in Butcher Bay. Riddick is resourceful, and seeks to break out of the prison by any means necessary. His capturer is the bounty hunter William J. Johns (reprised by Cole Hauser); the two have had previous encounters. Butcher Bay's warden is a man named Hoxie (Dwight Schultz), while Abbott (Xzibit) is a prison guard disliked by the inmates.

The opening cinematic shows Riddick in hiding, having grown out his hair and beard, before the opening scene of the Chronicles of Riddick movie. He hunts an animal and after killing it, a disembodied voice starts talking to him asking him where he got his eyes. He states that he received them from a "slam preacher" and this causes him to remember his time at Butcher Bay. The game takes place in a flashback.

Another opening cinematic takes place in which Riddick is being transported for collection on the bounty. He and Johns have a brief conversation in which Riddick tells Johns that there is no way he is going to get the price he wants. Riddick wakes up as they land and stands out front of Butcher Bay waiting for the warden. He sneaks up behind Johns and breaks his neck and proceeds to escape. After getting his hands on a gun, he goes through the ventilation ducts and seemingly escapes into the desert. Everything fades to white as Riddick hears Johns saying, "Rise and shine, Riddick." It turns out this escape was simply a dream.

Riddick wakes up and Johns escorts him off the ship.
