Why would they let Gun do it?

All in.
Because Friday The 13th was well received. Would've gone much further if it wasn't for the stupid lawsuit.

If it's not secretly a multiplayer Friday the 13th type gig I'm down. But I need it for virtual reality. Any game like this I'll either wait for a VR mod or official support. It's so much scarier I don't even consider flat screen horror games anymore.

It said multiplayer horror game. So, it's safe to assume this will be another asymmetrical multiplayer horror title much like F13.

New Texas Chain Saw Massacre Character Details Revealed
Gun Media has occasionally been updating The Texas Chain Saw Massacre's site with new information [...]
Gun Media has occasionally been updating The Texas Chain Saw Massacre's site with new information about the game whether it be about the overall story or stealth mechanics that govern how players will avoid the player-controlled killers. This week, the studio shared details on the cast of "Victims" as they're being called, the tropey characters who boast strengths, weaknesses, and unique backstories to set them apart from each other. We learned about five of those this week including a first look at the Victims' designs and their bios.
These characters center around Maria Flores, the in-universe character who went missing near Austin, Texas, thus warranting a search by the Victims who are comprised of Julie, Leland, Connie, Sonny, and Ana.
Julie
"Julie is a Southern California native and fits every bit of what that description might bring to mind. Sand, surf, and sport lifestyle. But whether or not her life to this point has prepared her for the stress and strain of the experience that requires an entirely different type of toughness remains to be seen. Will her physical abilities be enough to carry her through an absolute nightmare unlike any other?"Leland
"While Leland might have wrestled in high school, college life is a long way from high school and his glory days of wrestling. Still, he is the toughest of the group, but what he has in strength he lacks elsewhere. A native Texan and bit of a tough guy, but still no match one on one against the likes of the Slaughter Family and therefore his capabilities benefit from teamwork with his peers."Connie
"Connie comes from a life on the farm, where she never shied away from the work that went along with it. While not quite what you'd imagine a tomboy to be, Connie relishes in being the type of person that will surprise you with her skills. She's crafty, intelligent, and ingenuitive. A natural tinkerer, her skills are more surgical than strong arm."Sonny
"Sonny might have a slightly smaller frame, but he more than makes up for that with his intellect. The best student of the bunch is not only book smart, he's quick on his feet and quick with his decisions. Perceptive and intuitive, exceptionally situationally aware, Sonny will need to rely on his intelligence if he's to survive, and his friends would be equally wise to reap the benefits of his abilities."Ana
"And then there's Ana. Ana is fiercely motivated and a natural leader. After losing her father, she and Maria help to take care of their mother, while trying to forge their own paths as well. Now with Maria missing, Ana is done sitting idly by while law enforcement stumbles along. Determination and sheer willpower are her strongest suits, and she'll need every ounce of her resilience to endure."

I loved Friday the 13th: The Game, so I am all-in on this one.
It's fucking multiplayer??? Goddamn it. TCM 1 and 2 are two of my favorite movies of all time (the rest are complete shit). They need to shamelessly rip off RE7 (which itself copied a LOT from TCM) and make a game for each movie. Dog will hunt!

Kinda vile seeing as Texas Chainsaw Massacre is based on some real shit. Movies have been out since forever, so....

Not sure how true the original film is but Leather Face is some real shit. That fool was never caught either.

None of it is. Though there is blatant Ed Gein influence, who was a real murder that made numerous things out of his victim's bones and skin. But he didn't run around with a chainsaw, it didn't take place in Texas, etc.

Yea I wanted a single player campaign. This is only fun if people keep playing it and if you want your own experience you have to play with bots. I didn’t care for Friday the 13th for the exact same reason. I got what I wanted out of it in the first offline solo game I setup for myself. It felt lame.

THREE Becky's and a token black dude? Better get better character representation after launch. F13th playable characters were good if not a bit stereotypical.

Very much so, especially as there's little to no evidence that Ed Gein was even a serial killer. He robbed graves to make his "collection"...
Also, regarding their commitment to authenticity to look of the '74 version of TCM, I wonder if its going to be as bloodless as Hooper's original. Because despite its fearsome reputation its actually very restrained in terms of gore.

Cool. I wonder how it will fare against the Atari 2600 game?

Yeah, that's usually where I bail out as well. A regular survival horror would have been nice, especially since we don't get many these days.

Leatherface is based on the murderer Ed Gein, who was caught

So hyped for this. Considering how F13 was handled, they show that they put a ton of passion into it.

Multiply 150000 by 0 and you'll have a the number that represents how well this game is going to do.

Not to mention Leatherface dies in 2, he’s only alive in 3 and 4 because each of them only follow the original film. Not to mention Jessica Biel cuts off his arm permanently in the 2003 remake. He’s definitely not walked away triumphant in all the films.

What are the main differences that stand out to you between Dead by Daylight and Friday the 13th?

It's been years since I've played it, but I remember not liking the community very much. Friday the 13th felt a lot more chill, and some of my more memorable matches were when people weren't working together - it was just hilarious at times and fit the tone of the movies. Friday the 13th felt less polished and a bit more arcadey, but that's what I liked about it; something about that just worked for me.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre The Game
***Estimated Ship Date: August 18th Waxwork Records is thrilled to release THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE Original Game Soundtrack LP by Ross Tregenza and REMAINS Additional Game Music LP from THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE by Wes Keltner and Jim Bonney! From Gun Interactive, creators of the global...
waxworkrecords.com
"...This very special double album bundle features the complete video game soundtrack music to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre pressed to "Chain Saw Motor Green & Rust" colored vinyl, housed in deluxe heavyweight gatefold packaging with matte satin coating, composer liner notes, and all new artwork. The composers of the game music all have a dedicated love for the original 1974 film. Recordings of sheet metal, spoons, tuning forks, furniture, and the instrument, the Apprehension Engine, were mangled, manipulated, and ran through several vintage reverbs, distortions, tape delays, and other effects to create a haunting, sonic cacophony that envelopes the listener and transports them directly to a killing floor in the sweltering Texas summer heat."..
