Clive Barker's a busy man. When he's not writing scary scripts for movies, books, comics and games, he's thinking of more things to scare the crap out of you. Coming soon is Barker's latest video game creation, Jericho, but believe it or not, he's already planning the game's sequel."I pitched to Codemasters the opening of the second Jericho title, which was very fun for me. It was great because you walk into a roomful of business people and you pitch the most hideous, horrible, f**ked-up things." he said. Barker didn't go into any more detail on whether the game's sequel has been green lighted yet, but he did say he plans to keep creating games for awhile and wants people to know who they're from.
"I'd like to get to a point where people can say, 'This is a Clive Barker game.' And I can only do that by building a long-term relationship with one company and one set of people who understand me for who I am, not who they want to turn me into," he said. Judging from what we've played of Jericho, we hope he's found just that in Codemasters.
Clive Barker, with the assistance of Codemasters, is making a game called Jericho. It will be scary. Mr. Barker worked on Undying, a PC game from 2001 that was pretty darn creepy. Not to mention the Hellraiser and Candyman films. Should we lock our doors and keep all the lights on? Nah, where's the fun in that? Play this one during a windy night with the windows open and the curtains sweeping, in the dark. Naturally. That's part of what makes surround sound Silent Hill games so freakin'... freaky.
