"Let me readily point out that this SAW game has no portent moral message or even a directive in which the overt violence and scenes of mutilation correlate to something sane people might find enlightening, entertaining or fun. In other words, Konami is publishing a game that's as sick, twisted and pointless as the intellectually-deficient movies of the same name."
Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.
Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.
The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.
In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.
Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."
"Feminist Whore" lmao
ill add one more to the list.
drakengard 1.
its ridiculous tho, especially since they'd still be able to find their place in alot of places in the world. except america of course ha. and maybe Australia.
ppl are so sensitive these days. ha. but it is what it is.
They're not offensive.
And we need another Fat Princess. Fantastic little game!
Some people just have no sense of humour if this sort of thing offends them. They need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously.
Escape room number one, then proceed to room number two. Why? because it's littered with some of the best escape room games you can play
YouTube’s ‘club4ghz’ has recreated various environments from Doom 2, Silent Hill and Saw in Unreal Engine 4.
Nope. I don't like it. It might be because of the sentimentality (D2 is the best Doom game in my opinion, partially because D1 was too much for my AMD 386SX ;)), but the music doesn't sound right, and the looks of this doesn't feel like Doom.
Lighting alone doesn't make it better.
PS. The author went "a little" too crazy with particles ;)
It would look better if they didn't use UE4's reflective materials EVERYWHERE
I bet the acting is terrible too, if it takes anything besides the violence from the movies
This looks like a good game to play in between my LoccoRocco and Flower sessions!
A SAW game? Oh, the possiblities...
"Tap A to dig the key out of your kidney."
always makes me laugh when you get this kind of response to a GAME... because its just totally counter productive to the goals the writer is trying to achieve, in the sense that the more they tell me its disgusting, violent and gory, the more interested in the game i get lmao, i like gory and shocking films, thus i would love a gory and shocking game... btw canibal holacaust (sorry cant spell) is right up there with some of the most shocking movie scenes ive ever seen, its really old but left me thinkin OMG was that real or what??? lol... ive seen real life executions and stuff on film and CH reminded me of it... ive got all sorts of strange films in my collection! i love it ha ha.
"Konami is publishing a game that's as sick, twisted and pointless as the intellectually-deficient movies of the same name."
&
"As mentioned, the actual gameplay consists of partaking in the same warped, perverse and depraved acts of human indignity that the movies seem to depict as a relevant form of “thrills” or “horror”"
So its like the movies... Wouldn't the fans of the SAW movies want to buy a SAW video game that is similar? Why else would it be called SAW?
Whatever, definitely not a game I would be remotely interested in buying, nor have I formed an opinion on the game being good or terrible, but the 'journalist' should pull his head out of his ass. A game based a movie license is going to be like the movie its based on.
