The Texas Chain Saw Massacre game dev tells fans that demanding content is "not how Hollywood works"

The director of upcoming The Texas Chain Saw Massacre game wants us to know that Hollywood licensing is "a total mess" so Gun Interactive probably can't add your favourite Texas Chain Saw character into the game.

CEO Wes Keltner broke the news on Twitter, offering a "friendly reminder" to players that despite their demands, Gun can't add just any character or location from the movie series' considerable back catalogue because it doesn't "have those rights".

His game being multi-player won't get no money from me. If they'd did this right it could've made for an awesome ass single player experience. Man what could've been !

[Vengeance1138]

Nice double negative there lol so it will get money from you?

I don't really see a single player game working. Most of the movies revolve around one house and there is only only a hand full of villains, they would have to get really creative to keep it from getting stale.

I mean, would they be allowed to make a game with you playing as a guy with a Chainsaw and murdering innocent people? I don't think so. But I guess you mean, you, the protagonist, is running away and avoiding the Murderer. But what would the gameplay look like if that is your only enemy?

It could be like a survival horror game where leather face is like nemesis. Maybe heavy on puzzles to get away and a narrative unfolds.

Point is, it can be done.

@Crimson
And where is this going to take place at? There is so much they could do with puzzles around a farm house with characters that are Inbred.

@Asplundh

It can take place wherever they want. I mean we've seen games in farm like areas in the Outlast sequel. RE7 takes place literally just around the Baker's complex is. Hell, Jack could be similar to how Leather Face works.

This is where a team comes up with ideas. It's not impossible at all.

Expand the setting, make it Texas Chainsaw Clock Tower. Obviously not point and click but capture that feeling from the old Capcom series where the killer/s are hunting their prey. They could do a bonus mode where you play the killers or even just add MP function to that. What they shown in the showcases looked like they really nailed the feel for TCM with the moody setting but MP game when DBD has so much content and potential content was a huge mistake.

[maniacmayhem]

Disagree completely. I don't see how a single player game would have worked given what this is based on.

[CPTN MITCHELL]

I see the same fate as Friday the 13th

[PapaBop]

It's inevitable. They are making the exact same mistake, how can they compete with DBD when they only have one license and from the sounds of it, are extremely limited with additional content they can add? Meanwhile DBD announce Nicolas Cage because why the ef not!

[Black-Helghast]

it's sad that Dead by daylight is still king of these type of games and dbd is literally a toxic facecamping fest

[gleepot]

I think facecamping is being addressed soon

[monkey602]

I know. I didnt even like DBD. I vastly preferred both Friday 13th and Evil Dead
