Saw: The Video game

Seeker X | January 31, 2008 | News | Playstation 3 XBOX 360 
Apparently not even Saw is safe from the video game industry. A game is already in development, IGN says that the game will most likely be running on the Unreal 3 engine and it would come out on PS3 and 360.

The game's developers, Brash Entertainment, is a brand new company focused on making/publishing movie-based games. After checking out their website, I think they might have what it takes to make a quality game out of Saw.
At Brash Entertainment's recent press event, IGN received word that a game based on the Saw movie franchise is in development. This information was delivered to us through a teaser trailer that featured the Jigsaw puppet explaining that we as game journalists were wasting our lives in the industry -- so we'll take his word for it.

Scheduled for a release in October of 2009, the game will weave in and out of the Saw movie plotlines and will be an intricate collaboration between the development studio and the filmmakers. While this is really all the information we have on the title at the moment, we should note that the game will be running on the Unreal III engine and will likely be released on PS3 and 360.

Come back soon for more information as it becomes available, and head over to the game's official site for future details.

    I hope this comes out on PC as well, 'cause there's no way it'd get released over here.

    Damn BBFC.

    The movies are amazing, twists and turns. Let's hope this is one movie-based game that does not suck, though.

    Movie based videogames always sucked and will continue to suck. I won't even consider playing this game at all.

    Saw isn't a movie that can be turned into a game though. Yes it has twist and turns and i like it. But Seriously how can you make a game out of Saw, the way the movie script is its just not possible without taking Key elements that makes saw what it is and then making it bad.

    Im sorry im a big Saw fan but i think this will just be bad and give saw a bad name not to mention Video game industry.

    I am thinking this will be more of an Evil genius type title, Build the traps, play with the police, and create gry and destructive devices to your twisted minds content. I like.

      I know the movie, don't need to know the game. And this will just turn out to be another Manhunt 2 which doesn't get released and turn into a Gore fest. And then they will lose millions of development. Trust me all this is going to do is Cause more bad rep for the Gaming indrusty.

      Exactly. Thank You.

      No one really can tell what they want to do with it. So why all the hate towards it already.

    I would imagine it would be a more grotesque version of Indigo Prophecy. Only with more puzzle solving than action sequences, and possible instant death scenes for disobeying Jigsaw...just a thought.
