Gamespy recently sat down to interview the oh so very awesome Clive Barker himself about Jericho.

Movies typically don't have time for things like length, complexity, or elaboration on mythology. When you step out of a movie, four hundred new people walk in, and exactly the same movie plays out. But a game can reflect your personal tastes and can shape itself to you the way a novel does, and this is happening more as the technology advances. Games are actually much more literary than movies; movies are just passive.

Also, for those of you with Live, I strongly suggest downloading the Demo if you haven't already... it's highly awesome

Re: Clive Barkers Jericho Gets New Trailers

I wasn't too impressed by it when i played the demo, the ability to not be able to change weapons kinda turns me off from it. It does add some new strategy and a new way of playing FPS games, with the whole switching between characters to take out various enemies (and to use certain weapons). But it just doesn't really bring a "Wow!" out of me.

After playing Bioshock & The Darkness, I'm just not really impressed by this one, much like FEAR... it just doesn't feel real. So I'm gonna pass this one up, and pick up Bioshock instead.

Re: Clive Barkers Jericho Gets New Trailers

Here's a nice Preview of Jericho as well. They talk about the backdrop to the story as well as the various members of the party and how to use them to best effect.

Jericho puts you in control of Captain Devin Ross, the leader of the elite supernatural task force Jericho, which has been sent to Al Khali, a thriving city in the Middle East that has vanished behind a sandstorm. Jericho must find out what exactly happened to the city and its residents, but the truth is far grimmer than anyone had anticipated. The town has become Pyxis, or "The Box," home to a creature known as The Firstborn, God's first aborted attempt at creation. Unless the squad of supernaturally powered heroes steps in to destroy The Firstborn, nothing can stop it.

...

The stages are set during different time periods, each having been brought into The Box by The Firstborn during one of its previous failed escape attempts. Thus, the Jericho squad will travel from modern-day Middle Eastern cities to ancient castles and blood-soaked crucifixion grounds, each growing more and more corrupted as the squad approaches the center of The Box. Everything from rivers of blood to unlucky souls crucified by The Firstborn's minions is rendered in vivid and graphic detail. Likewise, the audio work is quite well done, with a talented team of voice actors providing the speech for the Jericho squad. Most notable however, are the sounds made by The Firstborn's minions, which range from childlike laughter to unearthly screams; their sounds make the already-terrifying monsters into the stuff of which nightmares are made.

Re: Clive Barkers Jericho Gets New Trailers

Hmm... I have a terrible gut feeling that this game will be another PREY - very nice and innovatice gameplay with very good graphics and story, but once you've played it you don't really feel like comming back for more. Like a movie you don't care to watch a second time.

I liked the demo and all, but I can't shake that feeling to be honest.
