Boo! Clive Barker's Jericho [update 1]
Codemasters is getting in on the Halloween spirit, dropping the first teaser for Clive Barker's Jericho today (see it on Eurogamer). Jericho is Barker's second gaming collaboration, the first being Clive Barker's Undying (published by EA in 2001). Aside from games, the British-born horror novelist has stretched his talents across the film, theatre, paint, and comic mediums.
Judging from these early glimpses, the development team is setting a grisly tone, but nothing shockingly novel. Codemasters has gotten too comfortable with its string of racing-sims these past few years. Let's hope a change of direction -- and Barker's imagination -- lends itself to something special, lest Jericho become just another pretender saturating the horror genre. Show us more!
Update: corrected Barker's gaming history.
