GDC08: Saw game to be developed by Zombie

by Justin McElroy { Feb 21st 2008 at 4:00PM }

Brash Entertainment was promoting some of the movie based licenses in their pipeline yesterday and, unsurprisingly, they discussed one of their biggest guns, a game adaptation of the Saw horror series. Brash's co-founder Mitch Davis let slip that the game (reportedly headed for PS3 and Xbox 360) is being developed by Zombie, the studio behind America's Army.

This would be their first now-gen game, but we guess everybody's got to start somewhere. Hopefully all questions will be answered when the game's released in October 2009.

Oh man is Jack Thompson gonna be all over this one...

motang @ Feb 21st 2008 4:08PM

Yep, I see the headlines already! So if he does, I wonder if he would go after movies like that also then??

Gorenography is sooo 2006.

something more disgusting than the movie
a game based on a (digusting) movie

This cannot go well. Aweful premise.

It should totally be made into a set of mini-games for the Wii.

Saw: The game...playing it is pure torture

This is one game I actually wouldn't mind JT bashing.

ThornedVenom (Ludwig Defense Force) @ Feb 22nd 2008 1:53AM

Because you minded JT bashing Manhunt after knowing how awful the game itself was?

Dear Brash Entertainment and Zombie,

Quit while you're ahead! I predict that this won't end well. I also predict that the media, the politicians, and even the general public will be on you with torches and pitch forks.

And I'd be gladly watching them, popcorn bag in hand. The idea of a "game" based around intentional, calculated human torture is too much.

o lighten up guys! i like the Saw series. even though Jack Thompson WILL be all over it because it arguably WOULD be an actual murder simulator.....oh crap.....i see your point now.....

Mikezula @ Feb 21st 2008 5:24PM

Yep. If this game is what we all think it is, then it would fit the "murder sim" genre snugly.

I actually do watch the SAW movies, but more out of an annual tradition than actually REALLY wanting to watch it.

I would actually PAY $60 to keep this game away from my younger cousins.

DangerMouse @ Feb 21st 2008 5:20PM

Anyone else smell a pile of 60 dollar dog shit?

NeverSage @ Feb 21st 2008 5:35PM

Yes. Yes I do.

Drago Dracini @ Feb 21st 2008 5:56PM

OMG YOU SMELL IT TOO!?! o.o

Drago Dracini @ Feb 21st 2008 5:56PM

I feel that gorenography should be ended rawr. Jack Thompson gwar rawr. narf.

I don't really see why a company would make this game. First, it's a movie game. Second, what are you going to do? Though I do admit, I'm curious how the game will work. if the ESRB doesn't slap an AO rating on it.

konajinx @ Feb 21st 2008 6:17PM

I predict this game will be shit, garnering medicore reviews like "Manhunt 2." It's a game based on a movie, which usually fails 9 times out of 10 given past track records of such things, and any hype generated by it will undoubtedly fall on mere speculation than the final product.
