During a panel at PAX East, Gun Media, developer of the upcoming crowd-funded release based on the long-standing slasher film franchise Friday the 13th shared new details about the game.
Amid discussion about some of the more gruesome elements of the game, the devs shed some new light on the title's second confirmed map.The location, Higgins Haven, appeared in the third and fourth entries in the film series. This joins the already confirmed Camp Crystal Lake. A brief clip was shown , revealing the location, but that's not all that was shown off: during the video of the new location, one of Jason's execution moves was shown off.
The video depicts Jason repeatedly closing a door on some poor camp counsellors head, with all of the awful sounds that you imagine accompanying this incident. During the panel, the devs spent a lot of time talking about attention to detail that goes into all of the components of the locations and Jason himself, and the panellists' love for the property really shone through. We can't think of any better hands to leave a franchise in than the ones that love it.

there is another game, 'Dead by Daylight', which could actually outdo 'Friday the 13th' at its own game... Still not seen enough to convince me this will be worth getting...
I am genuinley stoked for this game. The Friday the 13th franchise is my favourite movie franchise of all time. More than anything, I hope this captures that terriric early 80s campfire mood of the series. If they manage to do that, they've succeeded in my books.
Is this another online only game or a single player?I used to love the Friday the 13th series and think this would make an amazing game if it was done like Until Dawn!
I've always loved the 80's horror movies, damn awesome. Hopefully this is good enough for me to get, because i would love to play a friday the 13th game. I remember the one on the NES. lol
@Wazeddie22 This will be a multiplayer game . 1 player will be Jason and the rest will be camp counselors . If they get enough backers they will add a single player mode . Tom Savini and Kane Hodder ( Jason ) are involved , so it really should capture the feel of the movies !!!!
@poestyle I remember stampede on the atari 2600 happy days
@Poestyle That actually sounds pretty great then if Tom and Kane are involved!I really want a single player campaign too so will hopefully get enough backers..I'll have to try and help there then
I backed this and as long as I can walk around as Jason at some point. This will be awesome!
@BAMozzy That was there too! I didn't get any time with it, but I got to watch a little bit of the action!
@k_andersen Based on the snippets they've been showing off, it's definitely on its way there! It's still pre-alpha, but also as a fan of the franchise I've really been liking what I've seen so far!
@Poestyle @Wazeddie22 Yeah their involvement is great! They touched on that at the panel too. They showed a couple reels of mo-cap work with Kane and talked about discussing how to make the kills work with Tom. The panel was really cool, and the devs love and care for the franchise was apparent through the whole thing. It was really great!
Press X to Jason.
@dryrain Stampede was the very first video game that I owned . Very early 80's when my parents bought us an Atari 2600 for Christmas. We got the packed in Combat and Pac Man and my parents also got us Haunted House . These were considered the family's games . Then they bought my sister and 2 brothers their own games and Got me Stampede . I fell in love with gaming instantly at that point . I still have that Atari and all of our games in my basement right now and it is set up for my kids to play them . I also have my original NES and all of the games down there along with my ps1 . Unfortunately at one point we really needed money and I sold my Genesis , Super NES and original X-box and their games . Wish I had them back . Upstairs we have our Wii , Wii U , PS3 and PS4 hooked up . My son and I love our games .
My next project will be to build a MAME cabinet . But I need to get back to work and make some money soon . Have been laid off for nearly 9 months now .
I'm a bit of a Jason fan so deffo keeping an eye on this.
