So...We're Getting a Friday the 13th Videogame

I couldn't believe it myself when I first heard it. Gaming sites all around at least have some small mention of a Friday the 13th game in development for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. As you would it expect, it is based on the slasher series of the same name. It's hard to imagine that it would be possible to make a game of such. The last time they tired it was back in the 80s for the oldest of game consoles when cartridges were still a thing. The same happened to A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and even Halloween (all of which didn't work out too well since they were just advertising the films that were recently released. The Friday the 13th game, released in 1989 was infamous for being a horrible game.
This time, the people who were involved in the movie seem to be supporting the release of this game. Tom Savini (the special effects director) and Kane Hodder (the actor who played Jason in parts 7-10) are reported to have some involvement.
However, the main hype about this game comes from the fact that Jason will actually be a playable character. In the 1989 game, you played the role of a camp employee rescuing campers while at the same time, avoiding and fighting Jason. It's also announced to be multiplayer with some players taking the role of counselors while one plays as Jason and must kill them all off, just like in the movies.The premise kind of remind me of Evolve released just last year, in which four players take the role of monster hunters while one is the monster. The game ends with the monster killing all the hunters or vice versa. The monster, being against four other people, is given more powerful abilities and more to work with. Jason, being the hard-to-kill machete wielding maniac we all know and love, might take some effort to defeat. When it comes to the methods of killing, we can expect a lot. Since Tom Savini, the master of gore himself will be designing them.
There's not a whole lot to tell about the game since it hasn't been released yet. What we do know is that it is being funded by Kickstarter and is being developed by Gun Media. A final release date has yet to be announced.
