How Awesome Would A Good Friday The 13th Game Be?

[Kyle Donovan]

Think about it. A campaign where you are Jason and trying to sneak around a sandbox like Camp Crystal Lake, and waves of new counselors come in once all are dead. If you get spotted, the cops will come and you have to either hide or go all out and have a massacre. Like I mentioned, it could have some sandbox with some missions like, "Kill A Counselor without being spotted" or something. Just imagine the possibilities. Maybe a co-op campaign or a really neat idea is a multiplayer, survival mode where 13 players are counselors are barricading and hiding from one other player who is Jason and the counselors have to survive as long as possible. So, what would you like in a Friday The 13th game?

It might work better as a linear game, depending on how big they made it. If it wasn't big enough, it'd just feel like an artificial sandbox. I'm not quite sure if it has enough meat on the bone to make a sandbox game either, sandbox games need a-lot of meat to feel..full and not like ghost towns.

I do like the survival mode idea, that'd seem fun. A bit of spice to the kind of run down 'survive wave attack' wave formula.

I'm rooting for a game where you play as Jack the Ripper

It will never top the Commodore 64 version.

Ever.

Any attempt to do so would be in vain.

You mean like Hitman, but with Jason Voorhees so there's very little chance you might die if you mess up the stealth?

...Er, I think I'll stick with Hitman, thanks.

I don't know if it would work if you played as Jason, not a whole lot of tension in being an unstoppable killing machine. Playing a nigh defenseless person at the camp could work if done right, a Co-Op campaign with certain objectives you have to complete and times where you are forced to split up. Headsets could only work in close proximity so you wouldn't know whether your friend completed their part of the objective until it is over (I suppose people would probably just party up to avoid this but that is their own fault if they want to remove suspense). I don't know, there might not be enough substance for it.

it would be better if you where a victim and they aim of the game was to survive as long as you can before your eventaul death

I'd prefer Nightmare on Elm St. Anything can happen in dreams.

Wasn't that The Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Or was that on Atari?

I don't know about Texas Chainsaw, but I do remember playing Friday the 13th on the C64 back in the day. A good Texas Chainsaw game would of been the shit though.

Leatherface > Jason.

I must be thinking of the Atari 2600 game then. I only know of it because the Angry Video Game Nerd did a review of it. Now I don't usually like the AVGN because, well because he's disgusting, but that one was funny.

 

[Savagezion]

I think Nightmare on Elm would be better. Think the reality shifts like the Scarecrow parts of Batman:AA blended with Amnesia and Silent Hill style roaming. Of course, it wouldn't be without ways to fight back like Amnesia.

That might have been Atari. F13 was definitely C64.

The 4-bit digitized screams still give me the chills.

I read that title as "Good Friday" as in Easter... So why not have Jason crucify Jesus...?

 

[Convoy]

I'd have to go with a Texas Chainsaw Massacre type game.
