Clive Barker's Jericho Demo

[Morgoth]

Just released. Click

My download is slow as hell, though (only ~100K/sec).

Nice, might try that one out later tonight.

Just wait a bit. It's always the same when some demo of a major game is released.

[Morgoth]

Well I just played through the demo. Took me 10, maybe 15 min to complete.

 

It definitely suffers a bit of consoleritis. I.e. very linear level design, team members tell you every tiny bit what to do, you can't jump, and an overall very confined feeling. The visuals are very slick, though. Very gory, very stylish, but with an overuse of bloom. The bad thing however is that it isn't scary at all. There's never any real feel of threat coming up, like the masterfully designed Undying. I think I'll pass.

Disappointing to hear

Yup, short and pretty and totally uninteresting.

 

I don't know, but it seems I demand more from my games nowadays. Linear is an immediate turn-off.
