Harker, of Bram Stoker's Dracula, will rise onto PS3 in 2008
Getting tired of Castlevania? Don't want to watch Brad Pitt and a very young Kirsten Dunst in Interview with a Vampire anymore? Fear not, lovers of the children of the night (since, as far as we know, none of you actually are vampires!), for a new survival horror game by the name of Harker is in the works for 2008. The game is based on the classic tale of Dracula as writ by Bram Stoker. You take control of the macho Jonathan Harker, who decides to avenge Dracula's attack on his beloved Mina with a variety of weapons (enabling brutal and effective deaths for all of those low-class vamps).
The producer of the game at The Collective, Nigel Cook, said this about the style of play found in Harker: "Harker's goal is to bring an in-your-face, visceral, and personal style of combat to the survival horror genre... None of these vampires are going to die with one shot. They're going to fight for their survival, which will give the player a huge level of satisfaction when they successfully execute one." Nice. Nothing like working really hard to get that satisfying head pop. Speaking of vampire games... what was the last vampire-centric game you played, if any?
