The mission we were shown, which will be one of the first in the game, required Jericho to make his way to "Hangtown" to rescue people trapped in a church there. ![]() The moves we were shown during the course of our demonstration included unnaturally long vampire jumps, the ability to harvest blood (the game's only currency) from bodies by walking through "blood clouds" that appeared above them while they were fresh, and a great-looking "blood vision" effect that, when activated, made the whole screen look as though it were being viewed through a pulsating bloodshot eye and highlighted any undead characters that might otherwise have been difficult to spot. In the meantime, the character you'll be playing the game as remains human but, like the titular character from the Blade movies, has a few vampire abilities and moves in his repertoire. During the chaos that ensues, with Darkwatch agents battling the undead on board the train, Jericho is bitten by a vampire and starts to turn into one himself.įortunately for Jake he's found by the Darkwatch, and he agrees to do whatever he can to help them in return for a serum that, while not a cure for his transforming into a vampire, will slow down the process significantly. The casket doesn't contain the gold that Jericho was hoping for, though, and when he opens the casket, he succeeds in releasing the lord of all vampires-whom the Darkwatch had finally managed to incarcerate after more than 200 years of trying. ![]() The backstory to the game, as relayed to us by a Sammy Studios representative, sees Jericho breaking into the train and proceeding to open the iron casket he finds there. Set in the Wild West of the 1840s, the game will see you stepping into the cowboy boots of Jericho Cross, a train robber who gets a whole lot more than he bargained for when he unwittingly breaks into a train belonging to a secret vampire-hunting society known as Darkwatch. ![]() During a recent visit to Sammy Studios' E3 booth we were treated to a behind-closed-doors demonstration of Darkwatch, a first-person shooter currently in development for both the PlayStation 2 and Xbox.
