Friday The 13th: The Game, Will Have You Survive The Night With Jason


Friday The 13th is coming back and Gun Media are hoping to do something that will blow peoples minds. They've embarked on a quest to make Friday The 13th: The Game, and their goal is to raise $700,000 on Kickstarter in order to fund it. The game would come out on PS4, Xbox One and PC and is designed as a multiplayer game, in which one gets the opportunity to be Jason Voorhies, stalking camp counselors with the mission of killing them until no one remains. The rest are the counselors who are tasked with surviving the night, either by running for their lives or doing what they can to stand up to the horror icon in the hopes fighting back might serve them better. Kane Hodder will be doing the motion captured as Jason for the game. For those who don’t know Hodder has portrayed Jason in 4 films, those being Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood, Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan, Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday and Jason X. Its feels like Gun Media is taking this very seriously and its very exciting to see a developer and team be so passionate about a game. If you have a few bucks to spare and would like to see this game come to life then here over to their Kickstarter



UPDATE 10/15/16 - The Friday 13th game has been delayed to 2017.

Allison Road Kickstarter Cancels, Joins Publisher Team17

Lilith Ltd the developer for Allison Road announced that the indie horror game is canceling its Kickstarter campaign in favor of a new partnership with publisher Team17. The publisher is most widely known as the developer behind the Worms franchise, and publisher of games like the recent Beyond Eyes and The Escapists series. “For us it’s an incredible opportunity to be part of a label that looks after not only such a massive gaming franchise, but also supports developers like Playtonic, Mouldy Toof, and many others,” the developer said in their most recent Kickstarter update. “Working with Team17 will give us the chance to make our game unhindered creatively, but at the same time will give us the resources, support, and experience that only a 25 year-old studio can give.” No money will be taken for backers who backed the Allison Road Kickstarter, but the developer states that it will look for ways to involve supporters in the game at a later date. I myself as a backer of the Allison Road Kickstarter was a little disappointed as I wanted to help Allison Road be released. But I understand that this new partnership will help bring Allison Road to everyone. What do you think of Allison Road ?
