Clive Barker's Jericho PC Demo!

post #1 of 18
Thread Starter 

Quote:
The Jericho squad is a kick-ass team of supernatural soldiers that was formed during World War II to investigate the Nazi obsession with the occult. You play Captain Ross, the leader of this squad, who can inhabit the other members at will and take control of their bodies. There are six members in total, split into two subsections called the alpha and omega squads. Every member has two weapons and two supernatural abilities, as well as a mix of physical strengths and weaknesses. For example, Black is a blonde, lesbian sniper who can use telekinetic and pyrokinetic powers to move objects and set them on fire. She can also steer bullets with her mind, allowing her to take out multiple enemies from afar. Then you have Delgado, a thick-set Hispanic guy with a fire spirit encased in his arm, as well as Colt and rail guns in his arsenal. He can remotely set people on fire while using a fire shield to protect himself from incoming fire-based attacks. In what is potentially a headache of different characters all possessing each other, third member Jones can control of enemies, while Cole is the techie of the group who can, well, fix technical stuff. Probably the coolest member of the gang is Church, a half-naked female ninja who can either walk up to enemies and send them flying into the air with her sword, or stealthily walk past enemies without them even knowing.

Mmmm,its got button mashing like bits in it,aka res evil 4 sort of,thats just about enough to put me off.
Apart from that it looks good,quite demanding on the hardware though.

Because its dumb



Na seriously,it just seems to me that you become a spectator to the gameplay with the odd directive/arrow thrown in,or in the case of RE4 act like some sort of demented woodpecker punching buttons as fast as you can.
I just don't think this type of gameplay has a place in RPG or FPS type games on a pc,even if it does break the monotony....its like,can't you game dev's think of something a bit more intelligent than getting the player to follow an autocue and hit the buttons in a certain time and order,its not like your actually watching whats happening in the cut scene because your too busy watching for the autocue.

If your talking about RE4,no,only played it until the first cutscene and then uninstalled it,but might give it another go and see if I can learn to like it,especially now there's a patch to make it look better.

I played the Jericho demo right through though,twas quite short I thought,but will probably still buy the game when it comes out.

well thats why. the ending and middle of the game uses the cut-scene/gamer interaction perfectly... just you wait
