Upcoming 'TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE' Game Will Have Three Killers Chasing Victims!
If trends continue, we could expect video game adaptations for most of our beloved Horror franchises. We already have a Friday the 13th game , an Evil Dead game on the way and now a Texas Chainsaw Massacre game. Today we have some news regarding the latter and what fans can expect in regards to who they will be hunted by.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre game will be an asymmetrical multiplayer, but the developers explain today that it’s going to feature a franchise-specific “3v4” match structure.
Today’s fresh update reveals, “Gun Interactive, and the breakthrough hit Friday the 13th: The Game, helped pave the way for Asymmetrical Horror video game experiences. But the 1 v Many structure made perfect sense there, Jason v Counselors. The team at Gun have always taken a “franchise first” approach to the titles we work on, every design decision being made with that franchise in mind. Said simply, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is more than just Leatherface, and the asymmetrical structure should reflect that.”
Wes Keltner, CEO/President, Gun Interactive, explains, “We never want to make the same game twice. You either innovate or imitate, and I don’t have to tell you which one makes for a better game. Everyone at Gun prefers to innovate and push the genre forward. How do you do this? Well, when it came to the design of Texas we knew that 3vs4 was different. All the mechanics and features are built around this fundamental rethinking of asymmetrical multiplayer. Additionally when you look at the ‘74 film, you’ll note there’s an entire family to deal with, not just Leatherface. So it felt natural to have three killers chasing victims.”
Keltner continues, “We love a good challenge, and there are massive amounts of balance required to make three killers feel and play uniquely, while still providing exciting gameplay. When you have three killers and four victims running around a gamespace, you spend a lot of time on level design. Creating shadows and items to hide behind, mixtures of open rooms to move slowly through, while hallways become natural choke points that players can move quickly through to find the next hiding spot. With three killers chasing you around, it can be overwhelming. It was also our responsibility to assure that each level creates exciting moments drenched in terror, but ample spots to catch a reprieve and make your next move.”
As we recently learned, Kane Hodder will be playing Leatherface in the game, and we can expect other characters from the franchise
