The movement of Jericho is nice and tight and the targeting reticule dials in nicely. It’s been 15 years since the release of Darkwatch, but creators of the game have never stopped dreaming about what the universe could have become. We spoke with the creators of Darkwatch about the fascinating history of the game. Capcom stepped up to the plate and grabbed the publishing rights from the still-new developer High Moon Studios (after the split from Sammy) and finally, it looks like Jericho Cross and his promising spooky Western first-person shooter antics are at last in stable surroundings. The story of Darkwatch is the story of High Moon Studios. And it had better be, because Darkwatch is a game where the action never really slows up. Darkwatch has been through the corporate wringer. Darkwatch: Curse of the West blends vampire horror with western genres. Darkwatch is one of those games that took those lessons and applied it right. Well, never one to be anyone's slave, Jericho joins forces with the Darkwatch, a mysterious group that has been fighting the uncommon evils that have been around since the dawn of time, in order to prevent the eternal damnation of his soul, and oh yeah, save the West from Lazarus' evil intentions.įirst-person shooters tend to play a bit better on the Xbox, as if HALO paved the way for what a game needs to do in order for it to work properly. Whoops, turns out it wasn't gold in the safe, but rather an incredibly powerful vampire named Lazarus who bites you as thanks. Jericho decides he is going to rob a train in order to steal its gold locked in the massive safe. The game mixes western, horror, and steampunk genres, telling the story of. During the development of Darkwatch, High Moon transitioned from being a subsidiary of Sammy to an independent studio, and I think that it is rather amazing that the transition didn’t doom this game. It was developed by High Moon Studios (formerly Sammy Studios) and published by Capcom in the United States, and by Ubisoft in Europe and Australia. Darkwatch is a first-person shooter developed by High Moon Studios and published by Capcom. In Darkwatch, you play a genuine badass outlaw by the name of Jericho Cross. Darkwatch: Curse of the West is a 2005 FPS (first-person shooter) video game for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox console. Yeah, no co-op is pretty lame but I think Im near the end of the story after putting in some hours (according to the game stats a little over 240 minutes so far, discluding all the deaths) I think the story is pretty good. So while you can certainly see the games various inspirations, Darkwatch never really exudes that tired rip-off.
