Konami announced that Saw is being developed for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC by Zombie Studios. According to Konami, Saw will try to expand the survival horror genre by placing the players against Jigsaw, his brutal traps and the mind bending puzzles that have become synonymous with the film franchise.
Konami released more information about the game of Saw and they released three new screenshots.
Konami has said it wants SAW to become its second great survival horror franchise, and even take the lead over Silent Hill in the genre. The publisher has also released the first screenshots from the game.
Variety: Pyramid Head, say hello to your new brother Jigsaw.
"Saw," one of the highest profile games left orphaned when Brash Entertainment went out of business, has been picked up by Konami.
SAW video game news is few and far between, but Bloody Disgusting has got some info about some stars and SAW alumni that will be in the game.
Saw: The Videogame, the adaptation of the long-running horror film series, is reportedly the latest victim of the financial difficulties besetting Brash Entertainment, with the title now looking for a publisher.
When you think of video games adapted from movies, what comes to mind? Alvin and the Chipmunks and Jumper, anyone? Well add another movie to the mix, Saw.
Brash Entertainment was promoting some of the movie based licenses in their pipeline yesterday and, unsurprisingly, they discussed one of their biggest guns, a game adaptation of the Saw horror series. Brash's co-founder Mitch Davis let slip that the game (reportedly headed for PS3 and Xbox 360) is being developed by Zombie, the studio behind America's Army.
The game's scriptwriter says he is writing title's plot as he would a cinematic release.
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 IGN have on the title at the moment, they note that the game will be running on the Unreal III engine and will likely be released on PS3 and 360.
