“Saw” video game could be like a gory version of Portal

October 27, 2008 in Blog comments 12

Since the announcement of the Saw video game, very little details have been released, until now. With new information brings new questions, especially on how the game will play.

The SAW video game will be a full-on third person horror experience, while maintaining the mystery, thrills and terror of the SAW universe. Players will try to figure out the secrets behind Jigsaw’s plan as well as what is in store for them, but there will also be plenty of action, puzzle solving and of course new and original traps in addition to some of the fan favorites sure to deliver all the gruesome aspects of SAW that we love.

    Ooh I heard about this game coming out. I wouldn't be surprised if it gets rated Ao and then edited for a Mature rating.

    For a minute when I looked at the title, I though about SAW incorporated with the portal gun...

    I can imagine Investigation-type of gameplay. Condemned-style has you guessing what happened to the victim in the torture room while standing in the aftermath of the event. Where the action would come from, I have no idea. Of course the puzzles and making decisions are supposed to be a given...also a chance to pass or fail the test at the end as well.

    Also, can't forget music score and cinematography, or else the torture scenes wouldn't be as awesome as they were without them. Now I just wanna watch Saw V already.

    This game could actually be done extremely well. It has an interesting premise and depending on the direction they focus on in this game, it could come out very well. 5 solid movie titles provides the opportunity for a game version. Hope it goes well.

    "Saw" and "Portal" in the same sentance ?

    No thanks.

    I'll stick to mindless gore, if that's okay.

      You don't think Jigsaw would have his voice on a speaker ala GLaDOS style? Turrets that speak could be the other people trapped in the same area as you ? No puzzle elements to the movies ? I think the fact that Saw 1 (and 2) weren't mindless is what made them well known and good gore movies.

      The Saw movies probably have the best plot twists I've ever seen, honestly. It's far from mindless gore...you can ALMOST get brainwashed with Jigsaw's philosophy if you think deep about it.

        I think he's saying he rather plays mindless gore, then what Saw the game is packing.

    The title is tickling my rage button.

    Like it or not, Saw has evolved into a gory version of Scoobie-Doo without the bad ass dog. Comparing Portal to Saw is like saying Half Life is like Doom. Sure, they're both first person shooters, but Half Life has intelligence behind the gun, in the same respect, Portal is much more than a puzzle game. As complicated as the rooms are, there is a simple key to each one that is so obvious that you facepalm.

    In the Saw series, the character is trapped and has to perform an obvious task that he or she does not want to do that is in some way connected to his or her life. Over and over again.

    ....rage...calming...

      Benefit of the doubt here... the game will take place inbetween the first and second movies.

      Also, Smoke, you have the best avatar I have ever seen (ever!)

      It's understandable that Portal and Saw are not exactly great comparisons...but your severe understatement of Saw is irritating. At the same time I could say that all the main character in Portal has to solve puzzles with her Portal gun in order to proceed over and over throughout the entire game...but that would make it sound like some dull and repetitive game, wouldn't it? Especially when it's, in fact, pretty innovative.
