"Saw," one of the highest profile games left orphaned when Brash Entertainment went out of business, has been picked up by Konami.
Sources close to the project have confirmed that Konami has made a deal with Lionsgate, to whom the rights reverted when Brash breached its contract, and developer Zombie Studios. The game will come out this fall along with the sixth "Saw" film (I almost wrote "Saw VI," but that series is getting so long in the tooth I'm wondering if they'll take a cue from the seventh "Star Trek" movie and just drop the numbers).
Konami is an obvious choice to pick up "Saw," since it has experience selling horror with a little franchise called "Silent Hill." But the game almost took a very intriguing twist: no publisher at all.
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
That black corridor just got a little bit brighter!
wow we might get a game worth renting now instead of stright to bargin bin, put some MGS4 magic in there and it should be great
I can see this becoming a somewhat playable game now. Thankfully Brash went under, considering their other games included the likes of Alvin and the Chipmunks shovelware for the Wii.
I personally think Saw has overstayed it's welcome in pretty much any format, but at least we know there's only gonna be one more movie, and who knows, maybe the game won't be so bad, but I can hardly see it becoming more than puzzle/torture series of mini-games that involve you getting out of a contraption in no more than 3 pieces.
Lionsgate releases a complete Bluray Saw collection of all the films in one package with BD-Live support and a killer box.
Video game based on movie = FAIL
