Codemasters is hoping to make Clive Barker's name as synonymous with games as Tom Clancy's is now. Speaking with IGN, Jericho producer Joe Falke says Codemasters is looking at Barker as a potential source for many, not just horror, titles. Allegedly Barker is on board with the idea and wouldn't mind doing more games.
Years ago Clive Barker's Undying was well-received, but ultimately a failure, causing EA to cancel the very notion of a sequel. Given the lack of marketing, we were certainly caught off guard when we saw Clive Barker's Jericho at E3. The game did impress us and our only main fear point was whether the squad's AI would hold up in actual gameplay. Later released videos kept us on track to being impressed this October when the game is expected to launch. Hopefully some more muscle will get put behind Jericho's marketing before the release.

This could be a really REALLY cool Xbox Live co-op experience. Not so interested in playing it by myself though.

Undying was actually really cool.. I remember this one scene when you're walking through a hallway with paintings on the wall and turn on your 'death eyes' or whatever the fuck they were and just see mutilated ghosts and shit everywhere. pretty sweet.

Undying was fun.. can't see why it was a failure.

You forgot to bitch about the annoying voices of the squad members. Especially the girls one liners. That might just ruin the game.

I loved Undying, heck it's why I'm so excited about Jericho. The way I see it, I would rather have me some more Clive Barker than anything else, especially if it's anything like Undying.
