Generations Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Will be for PC, PS4 and XBox One Source: http://www.polygon.com/features/2015/10/13/9491031/friday-the-13th-is-back It's a third-person asymmetrical hide-and-seek game. Think Evolveexcept the monster is the one doing the chasing. You get to be Jason, the murderous maniac who hunts down holidaying kids and carves them up. Jason is significantly overpowered. Or you get to be any one of up to seven teenage campers trying not to be murdered by Jason. The teenagers have limited abilities but they can turn to cooperation, which can often be a hindrance. The game is set in Camp Crystal Lake, the same location as the early movies. The maps include random drops of stuff like weapons, escape vehicles and telephones. These are always the things you want to get to if you are trying to escape from a crazed murderer, while also being the things you want to hide near if you are a crazed murderer. There's no time limit. You either have to murder all the teenagers or you have to be a teenager who escapes from the lake by boat, car or by finding and fixing a telephone and calling in the cops. Everyone in the game is an actual human being. There are no bots. Human beings are devious and human beings are dumb, especially when we are scared. This frightened-silly dumbness is the engine that drives Friday the 13th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNFNS Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Seems like a cool idea but an online only game? Looks like they want $700,000 on Kickstarter to make this game happen, good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted October 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 700k isn't a lot, really. Especially for a franchise as large as Ft13th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austo194 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 It's online only? That sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shindol Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 It's gonna fail. People want a single player story with multiplayer as an add on. I guess nobody learned from the fate of Titanfall and Evolve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNFNS Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Game would seem a lot better if it had Offline, Online and possibly Offline co-op. But everything in this article makes it seem like it's leaning towards an online based game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost. Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 It's gonna fail. People want a single player story with multiplayer as an add on. I guess nobody learned from the fate of Titanfall and Evolve. I was under the assumption that Titanfall did pretty well? I'm thinking about backing the $75.00 option so I can get a physical copy.

CROSS-Out Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 That's too bad, I had hoped Alien Isolation would prove that single player stalking-horror games can work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted October 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Just looked at the kickstarter again. Think this was at around 20,000 earlier today, and it's already at almost 167,000 now. There's no way that they don't get the 700,000 that they want. It's pretty much guaranteed.

Generations Posted October 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 There's also this other game, titled 'Last Year'...which might be cooler than Friday the 13th, tbh... http://www.polygon.com/2015/10/16/9519741/horror-stalker-last-year-is-quietly-waiting-in-the-woods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CROSS-Out Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 They updated their kickstarter, if they manage to get a certain amount they'll be able to introduce a single player challenge and single player campaign mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Jones Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Looks amazing! Love the death options so far, looks sick as *Censored* lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlashCarnage1 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Titanfall and Evolve...Star Wars Battle Front has been struck by not having a Story Mode. Nobody just wants a strick online game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Flying Maniac Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Sounds kinda like Dead By Daylight, except better imo. Looking forward to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CROSS-Out Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 Sounds kinda like Dead By Daylight, except better imo. Looking forward to this. They actually acknowledged the similarities on facebook, and wished them well. It actually makes me happy because Dead By Daylights popularity proves the game-style will work.

High Flying Maniac Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 Ah, that was cool of them. I've been watching a lot of people play DBD lately and it looks really fun so I'm expecting this to be no different, in terms of being fun I mean.

CROSS-Out Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 Yeah, me too, specifically H2O delirious since the guy can pull off "serial killer" way too easily. Apparently one of the kickstarter goals is the ability to play as Pamela Voorhees. That'll be amusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Flying Maniac Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 He's one of the people I watch actually. And yeah, he's a little too good at being a psychotic murderer Really? That'd be hilarious and awesome if that does get included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maskedmaniac Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 I was playing MKX today and used Jason. The guy is huge in that game, not sure if he is supposed to be that big in the movies. He's even bigger than the damn Predator in MK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrisetMaster908 Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 I'll only buy it if it gets a single player mode, since I can't play online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
