If this game is some sort of point-and-click puzzle/adventure game, then it seems like it'd be a worthwhile play. I can't imagine it being anything else...unless it lets you play as Jigsaw and lets you build your own deathtraps. Then you could send those traps to your friends and have them try to escape... that'd be cool, too.

@Fastball611: I understand that Darren Lynn Bousman is finished directing Saw movies, which is a shame. He's one of very few horror directors with an eye for continuity and plot. He brought the series so much further than the original film dared to go. A new director is taking over, and so the rest of the series is really up in the air in terms of quality. But it's David Hacki, the production designer and second unit director for the ones Bousman directed.

Yes, they do need to make another film considering how Saw IV ended, and I would bet that there are at least two more in the works. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the new director is planning his own trilogy. They just finished one story arc and are beginning a new one with the (SPOILER ALERT) new killer. But I really hope that VI is the last one. It's been so good up until this point that I'd hate to see anyone ruin it.

But again, a game? Yuck.

fastball611 — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 18:53:43 MST

I love the saw movies. I think they should stop the series but they HAVE to make another one since saw IV left you in that type of place where they have to.
cause it they don't end it after 5 it's just going to end up like rocky and rambo with too many damned movies.
but atleast the saw movies wouldn't SUCK

I do agree that they should not a video game. at least put it on wii for hand gestures but make good graphics. not a stupid PS2 port.

As fantastic as the movie franchise is, I don't see how this could be a good game. As a Saw fan, I really don't want this. The Saw movies are probably the only horror franchise to actually get better and smarter with age, with an actual plot and (gasp) continuity. It's just mazing how much gamers on this site know absolutely NOTHING about horror cinema.

But really, this game is probably going to really suck.

Tobin Bell must be wiping himself with $100's. Lucky bastard.

Okay. Saw 1 was actually great. Semi-gory with a psychological twist-a-ma-jingy. Could have stopped it there, really. But instead, they pulled a movie for it every single Halloween that's just filled with the writers sticking their hands inside of a top-hat many times, expecting to pull out some new interesting thing to the series. My advice? Treat it like Ol' Yeller, and just put it down already. The Saw series is already plummeting into the Pit of Nails. The least they could do is give it a small cushiony pillow to...not make the next one suck as much as the last.

Oh. And spoiler alert:

The game will suck. Horribly suck. And likely have the "Hello Zepp" song playing every 30 seconds.

Spoiler ends here.

I would love to have an alternate reality power, where I could look into another dimension, where the Kotaku writer wrote postiive things about an upcoming Saw game, just to see how different the comment thread looked.

MagickBocks — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 17:12:45 MST

I was very skeptical about Saw when my friend first showed it to me, but I really liked the first one. The second one disappointed me, because it mas much more about torture porn than story, but I though the thirrd did a good job of presenting a good story (and somewhat redeeming the second). I haven't seen the fourth one yet, though. I had actally thought abot what Saw would be like as a game once or twice before, but came to the same conclusion that it would only work as a point-and-click style adventure/puzzle game. Don't get me wrong, though, I wholeheartedly believe that this game will suck. I pretty much lost all faith in licensed games when they managed to fuck up something as awesome as the Shield.

@kuraitenshikun: I enjoy Saw, I don't enjoy Halo. But Halo is universally acclaimed and loved. Saw sequels have been panned (and deservedly so). Whilst I enjoy them I'd never profess to them being good. Whilst I don't enjoy Halo I'd never for a moment dismiss is it as average.

Nope! No it's not! Example: remember in the first one (the only one I saw, and unfortunately can't unwatch), when those two guys are chained to opposite walls. One has a tape, and the other has a tape player. They begin to ARGUE over who gets to play the tape. WHO CARES? WHO CARES?!!! You're chained to a wall with a bleeding dead guy in the middle of the floor! YOU HAVE BIGGER ISSUES! Jeez.

What little game potential that may have existed in this franchise evaporated completely when Brash chose Zombie as the developer. That seems to suggest that not only does Brash expect it to suck, they might actually WANT it to.

I've never seen Uwe's movies so I can't comment. As for Saws story I could give a fuck less if it were Shakespeare. Wow, so they managed to have a plot hole free story just like 60% of other movies, good for them. Those movies are trash and I have to seriously question a person's value as a human being if they enjoy seeing other people graphically tortured for 90 minutes at a time.

@Yossarian: I agree that the CONCEPT was good. That's what made me see it. A serial killer that doesn't kill anyone, but just creates circumstances where his victims kill themselves, or others? Sounds good! But that's not what the movie ended up being about. That was a lie. If you put a reverse bear trap on someone's head, and it goes off and kills them, well... that's murder. Reverse bear traps don't kill people, people kill people.

The first SAW was good, subsequent SAW's have been progressively worse. I still like them though, I guess it's because I like gory movies. This game though? The only way it wouldn't be terrible is if AO was an allowed rating.

Therefore, if you liked any of the Saw movies, please submit your name to my receptionist at the front desk so you can be summarily ignored.

You get a stay of execution for just appreciating the concept of the first movie, but if you don't admit the acting was terrible, we're back where we started.

Ehardergardens — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 14:36:21 MST

I give a lot of props to the movies for coming up with a believable/motivated 'killer' that's not a killer. Some wonderfully inventive death scenarios/mechanics, and some genuinely fair and unpredictable twists. The movies are very rube goldberg in both style plot, and devices.
I don't much care for the Neu metal esque soundtracks and vibe, but these were decent movies (haven't seen 4), and far beyond the silliness that was Nigtmare on Elm street and the other such things that I had when I was a kid.
If people liked the second movie I would recommend the Cube series.

First movie was fun save for the twist ending. Can't understand how they made so many sequels.

Though I admit some of the traps very morbidly entertaining, I think being forced to sit through 1 1/2 hours of them(oh wow another grainy, dark scene of someone being horribly mutilated. wonder what filter they'll use this time, green or blue?) was just a ridiculous thing to pay money for.

The Saw movies are good for slasher pics. They're not necessarily good, but watch them back-to-back and you may find yourself impressed over how far ahead they think things out and how few plot holes the 4 movies have (esp. the first 3).

And a puppet isn't running around killing anyone. Ever. Not once. And you're not even supposed to think that. And a Saw game could be a whole hell of a lot of disturbing fun along the lines of Condemned: Criminal Origins. I'm not going to write this one off quite yet.

for horror movies the saw series was a good shot in the arm, look at the other "horror" flicks in recent years before saw and hostel came out. there's that cinematic masterpiece of a movie with kane from the wwe. so as horror films go it's actually a pretty good movie and series, sure it's a "what's the trick in this one" now but still entertaining and gory

sad to say the game will probly suck cause we know kids always follow stuff in video games and never get ideas from films and television

@Tonx: Yeah, SAW V and VI have been greenlighted for quite awhile. Here's hoping we don't get a "Jigsaw Takes Manhattan" when they hit VIII.

But it'll be interesting to see where they go with the game. I like the idea of what Natpalm said about it being somewhat of a puzzle game and you have to get out of certain traps in a time limit.

Love the SAW series. First was brilliant. Second had some very good ideas. Third had a great plot...but aweful acting and was borderline unwatchably gory. Still trying to work myself up for SAW 4. If its more gory than 3, I am not sure I can get through it...but story wise, I want to know what happens to the guy from 3! (no spoilers please)

you know what would be even better?

Meet the Spartans The Game
"connect random pop culture references into one of three scenarios:

sex
drugs
farts

get nudity for double points!"

I agree about Saw. The FIRST one was decent, but the other ones just turned into torture porn.

@kefka666: Indeed. It's true that you can't really like the other movies if you haven't seen the first one, as well.

Of course the series isn't perfect, but I believe there is a genuine effort being made to give fans of the series what they want, as well as to provide a unique horror experience.

Oh no! They're marketing this sort of thing to children! It has graphic rape scenes! Horrific violence! Sure, it's not out yet and I've never played it, but it's obviously a torture porn video game being marketed to children! Who else would they market video games towards besides children, anyways? That 'M' on the front must mean "Must-Have Game." Using diabolical tricks to entice children to buy their filth is so low! How can those video game maker guys sleep at night?!

I'm with Exkon on this one. Stuff like this make our hobby look bad and lose respect in other peoples' eyes. I'm a little ashamed too, since a hobby I really enjoy has this kind of crap involved in it, especially when I'm sure this game will outsell good games like Beyond Good & Evil and Eternal Darkness.

The game could be an interesting puzzle game of sorts where you have to figure out how to survive whatever trap you're in. But if they put as much work into it as they have the last two sequels (I thought Saw II was entertaining to a degree)I am not expecting much.

Once again, Mr. Wilson, I whole heartedly agree. I'm just going to wait a few more years and watch all the films in a marathon, as I haven't seen any since the sequel. I will have drinks and snacks and a pistol in case it becomes too unbearable.

The only way this can be good is if it's a done in the style of a modern point and click adventure game - like Farenheit or Dreamfall. But yeah, the Saw films are pretty terrible. The first was OK aside from some truly dreadful acting but the rest are just ellaborate death scenes, with nothing else going on.

I am with the crowd that thought Saw I was ok, nothing amazing, but ok movie and then it was just try to cash in with crappy sequel after sequel *sigh*

Now is try to cash-in with videogames, which I doubt will end up being any good at all.

Despite what Mark Wilson believes, I love the Saw series and will so until the day I die.
Not to say I can't point out their obvious flaws and imperfections.

But disregarding this, there is no way in a million years that this movie to game situation is going to turn out good. No way in hell.
