'300' and 'Saw' games to be made

Storm | June 04, 2007 | News | Misc

I would love to see how they put together these movies into games. The Saw series has been one of the most horrofic movies I've seen in a while, and 300 had great action. Let's just hope that they get the right feel of the movies into these games.

First set coming out around November this year.

Variety.com has the scoop on Brash Entertainment's plans for a number of movie tie-in video games. The newly formed publisher didn't unveil any further details at this time, albeit we do know that the company plans to create games based on 300 and Saw:

Brash Entertainment, the private equity-backed game publisher co-founded by Legendary Pictures' Thomas Tull, is coming out of stealth mode today with the news it has raised $400 million and will focus exclusively on games developed from movie, TV and music licenses.

Company has projects in the works based on movies from five studios and has multigame deals with several of them. It's already working on a dozen movie-based titles, including one based on Lionsgate's "Saw" franchise and another, sources confirmed, based on "300." First games will come out this holiday season. While Brash is remaining tight-lipped about its initial release slate, one title will almost certainly be tied to "Saw 3."

Warner Bros. will exclusively distribute all of the new company's games worldwide through its homevid operation, which recently started distributing games in North America for Eidos and Codemasters. Studio is expected to partner with Brash on several games, some of which it may co-finance and co-publish through its Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment vidgame division.

Hopefully the game will be nothing like the actual 300 game, which got awarded a gallient 5.7 on IGN...

A saw game? I can only imagine the outcome for that game, though there might be some potential. :\

The 300 game sounds the best out of the two. I just hope that they don't just make the games fast and release them. I'd like to see them put some time into them.

God, I hope they don't screw up these games.

I always hate it when they make crappy games off of good movies.

I'm very skeptical about these games. Usually games based off of movies aren't too great. I can see how 300 would be, but Saw would definitely be something interesting to see. Here's to hoping you are the killer. =D

  I really doubt you will be able to play the killer. The game industry has been going soft lately.

I like the idea about a 300 game since I really enjoyed the movie but I'm not sure about making the SAW movies into games. Although, they might make a decent SAW game, who knows?

A SAW game might have potential, the movies were very well done. It'd be interesting to see what they do with it.

I doubt that a SAW game would hold much lifespan to be honest, but has potential.

The only way I could see the fun in a Saw game, is designing your very own traps and torture devices for your victims and see how they work out. In other words, playing as the villain would most certainly be the best choice for a Saw game.

OR, playing as the character stuck in the traps, it can be a very fun puzzle game trying to figure a way to get yourself out of the traps.

As for 300, it's pretty obvious how that game should be made.

  I see Saw as a victim point, where it could be like Saw 2 being in a house with others and figuring out puzzles to survive. Resident evil meets man hunt lol. As for 300 i hope they do a good job with that one.

I remember sitting through 300, and thinking 'This would be a really good game' the whole time.
