Saw - The Game?!

An action, horror video game currently in development by Brash Entertainment for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Wii and Xbox 360. It is an adaption of the film series, and has a tentative release date of October 2009.



It will use the Unreal Engine 3 as licensed by Epic Games (Gears of War). Throughout the game, the player character is expected to make use of a number of weapons. The game was first presented at a Brash Entertainment press event early this year where a teaser trailer was played which portrayed Billy the Puppet preaching to reporters about their wasted lives. Oren Koules, the series producer has revealed that the characters featured in the video game will be voiced by the corresponding actors who portrayed them in the films. It has also been confirmed that Charlie Clouse, who composed the music for each of the films, will reprise his role for the game's soundtrack, as well (yay). On 14 November 2008, Bloody-Disgustin reported that Brash Entertainment would be ceasing operations dye to financial difficulties. It further reported that since Brash Entertainment was developing Saw: The Videogame with Twisted Pictures, the game may be left in a "possible state of limbo",



Brash promises that the game 'will have its own unique storyline, while answering questions left unanswered by the films'. The firm says it is 'working closely' with film companies Lions Gate and Twisted Pictures, as well as the creators of the Saw franchise.
