SAW : THE GAME

[themightylebeau]

I know there are some fans of this series out there, so if you have come here to slag off the series as a whole then please leave now.
I know in the old forum there was a thread about this too. But since the original publishers went under the game seemed dead and buried.

Until now.....and whos going to be publishing it??

Our pals at Konami.

So, is there any chance of it being competition for Silent Hill? Or have Konami (after the some of the recent SH remake announcements) lost the plot a bit?

I'm a pretty big Saw fan, but I just don't see how it can translate into a compelling game.

I am a huge fan of the series *points to Jiggy avatar*

Love the first trilogy. The second trilogy is turning into garbage. After Saw VI I will refuse to see another film unless the original writers come back because the current schmucks are turning Jigsaw into a joke.

I don't know how I feel about the game.

Why is Obi in the Jaw Splitter? Wasn't that Amanda's trap. Somehow I don't think John would recycle a trap.

Also, why is he in the bathroom from Saw I? And, again, I don't think John is arrogant enough spray paint jigsaw pieces everywhere.

After all "It was the police and the press who coined the nickname 'Jigsaw'; I never encouraged or claimed that"

I'll have to wait for a trailer to be relased

I don't know, it's an interesting concept but I don't know how they'd do it. I'd like to see it how it gets pulled off.

Well we might be getting some info pretty soon, Destructoid are going to Konami's Gamer Night party and there invite was in the form of a small trailer for the game.

Yo yo yo Vaco! Hows it goin man?? Thought Id bump into you here :-) Do we have a thread for the films here?

@ Rachelchan - I hope its not QTE heavy..... QTE makes me sad.

I love the series. I dont know how they'll make it into a game but I hope it'll be nice.

All QTE and no fun makes Jigsaw a sad boy.

Nawh, not yet. Waiting for more info to be released before I start a thread. All we know so far is that Amanda will be in several flashbacks which sucks because I hate her character

[Vaco Deus]

I guess the game takes place between Saw I and Saw II and focuses on Det. Tapp but seeing as he died in the first I don't know how that'll play out.

In the gameplay videos you clearly play as Obi so maybe this is how we learn what Obi did to help John collect his test subject for the Gas House.

Huh, I really like the mirror puzzle. Its not looking as bad as I thought it would either.

Kotaku has their thoughts up about it now.
