Konami picks up rights to Saw game News

PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3
News by Ellie Gibson

6 February, 2009

Konami has picked up the rights to produce the first game based on the Saw movies, according to Variety.

The game was originally in development at Brash Entertainment, until the studio went bust last November.

Konami has agreed a licensing deal with moviemakers Lionsgate. Looks like Zombie Studios is set to develop; you may remember them from titles such as Super Bubble Pop, Shadow Ops: Red Mercury and Ecks vs. Sever. Or not.

The game will feature the voice of Tobin Bell, who plays Jigsaw in the films. Apparently it's in development for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360, and will be released alongside the sixth Saw film this autumn. However, there's yet to be an official announcement.

Ok seriously what the hell?

Why would Konami a respected publisher pick up right to a movie series that only had 1 good movie and below average sequels.

This is going to FAIL.

Can't they just let the Silent Hill guys develope?

Should have brought this to Wii: trying to cut off your foot with a Wiimote should be fun. Then again ...

It would be helpful if we knew just what type of Saw game they had in mind. At least that, before opinions start being cast.

I find it hard to imagine this being adapted for a game... I guess you have to escape from Jigsaw or something?

I assume the target audience is goths and emos aged 11 - 25?
I agree, they should have stopped at the first which is the only good film in the relentlessly depressing bunch.
If they must do it, it could work as a dark 'escape the trap' point and click adventure I guess.

Konami have produced hundreds of terrible licensed games over the last two decades.

Could be awesome or completely rubbish depending on what type of game they try and make.

I'm hoping for an "escape the trap" style puzzler, but doubt very much it'll end up like that.

Its best route could be like fahrenheit but based on saw, could be fun.

If they do it for the Wii can they have a bear-trap as a peripheral?

PLLEEEEEAAASE? C'mon, it's time for the first game to _actually_ kill players :D
