Harker website launches, new video
An official website has launched for Harker, the Collective's Dracula themed action game. The site gives a brief rundown of the game (you're a guy named Harker and you kill a lot of vampires, 'nuff said). There are also some screenshots, concept art, and a gruesome, bloody trailer for your enjoyment. The graphics look sharp and the visceral combat that the development team is so keen on promoting looks like brutal fun. Harker has all kinds of combat abilities at his disposal. Apart from the requisite stakes, he's got a nice big cross, a bite guard on his forearm, and some nice environment-based attacks as well. Harker's not too bad at pounding nosferatu with his bare fists either. Check out the video after the break (not for the faint of heart).
Harker hopes to draw blood
Halloween would be the day to announce your new next-gen survival horror game based on a classic undead character. Harker, from Foundation 9 Entertainmen, draws inspiration from the original Dracula novel while taking us back to the 18th Century to do battle with the famous blood-sucker himself:
In the game, players take on the role of a very different Jonathan Harker - hardened and ruthless - who is on a very personal mission to destroy all vampires after his beloved Mina falls prey to Dracula. Gameplay involves a combination of hunting these ferocious killers through tracking and exploration, along with an up-close and personal combat system, brutally-effective in the execution of the vampires; using a variety of weapons and environmental factors.
Harker is scheduled for a 2008 release. I'm interested to see how they bastardize the literary work. Fortunately, 1up has some "exclusive" video from the game.
