[URL="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/613356213/friday-the-13th-the-game/description"]Kickstarter link[/URL] Estimated release date: October 2016 Goal: $700,000 [video=youtube;VjNm2pthBfM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjNm2pthBfM[/video] As a big horror fan, I'm backing this one. I also love EDIT: [I][U][B]asymmetrical[/B][/U][/I] multiplayer (1V7) and I always thought a slasher flick might work well in that format. It also has Tom Savini attached!
Oh god yes lets ramp this halloween up!
Also has Kane Hodder
Seems like a difficult concept to pull off, but hey you never know, this could be something worth keeping an eye on.
I wonder how Last Year is doing too, that campaign ended last year[sp]ha![/sp].
This feels like a knock-off of another yet unreleased kickstarter game with a similiar premise. [url]https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lastyear/last-year-5-vs-1-multiplayer-survival-horror/[/url] Both look great, I just hope it doesn't split up the non-existing fanbase.
[QUOTE=cherrytrees;48895053]I wonder how Last Year is doing too, that campaign ended last year[sp]ha![/sp].[/QUOTE] I was thinking the same. I'm also disappointed that this is not a remake for the NES Original [t]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4e/Friday_the_13th_gameplay.png[/t] But Multiplayer sounds good enough for me.

[QUOTE=cherrytrees;48895053]I wonder how Last Year is doing too, that campaign ended last year[sp]ha![/sp].[/QUOTE] They send out some updates now and then And no, they did not get sued, Warner Brothers attempted to sue them, then they made this game instead when they realized they couldn't make any money off sueing them.

It's kind of hard to quantify if a game is vaporware or not if all the information is behind a paywall, do you have any info? I want it not to bomb so hard, but you know, kickstarter.

The guy has tried to make very vague projects before, but nothing of this quantity. I kind of got tricked into kickstarting it without knowing the details of the guy, but I'm optimistic. Backers gets mails with updates of projects, and this is no exception. I made a thread for the game some time ago, and next time I get sent an update Ill post it there.

I know it's still pretty early, but that trailer wasn't very impressive.

Them coming out with essentially the same thing after seeing what would be a direct competitor pull through despite their best efforts is... [i]interesting[/i].

im reserving judgement until i see some gameplay
