Being a huge Saw fan I can't wait for this to come out

Stay tuned for more updates!

Wow, this is interesting. A Saw game? Awesome, sounds great!

I've always found the Saw films quite interesting. People always misjudge it for its gore and over the top deaths. Though, sadly, when someone doesn't understand something, they immediately hate it. *cough*Lost*cough*

Saw always seemed like it could be an awesome adventure game. Sort of like Indigo Prophecy.

Please tell me, what is it I didn''t understand about the Saw films?

You should play Still Life 2 when it's released in English, without the gamestopping German bugs. It's sort of survival horror. Watered down. And watch the movie Funny Games. If you can take it, which I could not.

I only like the first Saw film. I really think the filmmakers are milking the franchise. I mean, 5-6 sequels already. The first seems to be the only one with a plot, which is what made me enjoy it.

I think a Saw game would be more suited as an adventure game though. There could be 2 characters you play, a victim who has a certain amount of time/days to solve all the riddles/puzzles that Jigsaw has left scattered around and work out why he was chosen. And a cop, like Danny Glover, who has to track down the killer.

I'm with you on this one Sam. As far as I can see the point of the Saw films was to suck in teenage dollars in exchange for their nihilistic obsession with watching people die in strange ways. That's pretty much 90 percent of horror films now.

Still Saw might work well as a video game since the movie was pretty much a video game in movie form.

I 100% agree with you on this.
Unfortunately it's not going to be even close to this.
but I sure hope Konami taking a good care of this game, although I still have no high hopes for this. Usually games based on movies have a tendency to be bad.

I'm with you on this one

I don't think so. I asked a question. You gave your opinion.

Its sort of anti-hero in a way. The film portrays a serial killer in both Darkness and in Light. You go through a journey into a sicko's mind that raises a couple of moral questions.

It was also quite interesting to see who Jigsaw picked in each film. Each person showing character traits that either fool us, or bring a new perspective on the type of person.

Not to mention that torture devices. I guess most people prefer just a blade to the face by a brute murderer instead of uniquely built inventions.

Sure I admit, the fifth film was the worst in terms of gore (god I couldn't watch), but I felt that the story really was what made the film series different from other slasher/gore flicks.

Plus, the films are a mix previous great films like Cube and Seven.

Though I have to say the first film did a better job at making you squeamish without showing you much gore. (The thought of him sawing off his leg was bad enough)

After the success of the first Saw, they decided to release a new Saw every year around Halloween until it starts to become poor box office wise. So, yes they are milking it, but it was their intent from virtually the very beginning. I personally am not a fan of the movies, but to each there own.

The first movie was almost total garbage. The rest were ultimate total garbage. There's absolutely nothing smart or deep about them. Jigsaw is just a killer. It's a gore-fest, and I can appreciate watching people's shit get ruined in crazy ways, but to me Final Destination does that way better and the gore doesn't make me sick. Garbage.

If it's Halloween, it must be Saw

Because its violent it can't be a good film? Sorry, but Saw has a story, and a pretty decent one. Glorifying a serial killer in a indirect way and having lots of violence doesn't make it a horrible film. I can go a step ahead and say that very popular books that glorify murder for the good of another.

Your just as typical as those who can't except a blue penis from Watchmen. GROW UP.

And you pointed out Final Destination. Holy shit, what a weak story that film had. If you wanted a film that was just violence, then that is the film. Not Saw, which even though you deny it, has a deeper meaning.

Weak story, but it was cool violence vs. just trying to make people throw up and stuff. I like violence in movies but I don't need to see a guy get drowned in pig guts or a pregnant woman get hit in the stomach and her baby come out. This whole torture genre is messed up, and not for me. As far as story goes: The killer sets traps for people who he doesn't think appreciate their lives? How does being tortured in a difficult fashion that let's you MAYBE escape make you appreciate your life? How does giving your victims a slim chance of escaping if they know how to win a game make being a serial killer justified or even cool? And how does that "story" that was already in the movie Seven (minus the great actors involved) justify continuing these crappy movies that people seem to love? Please, explain the deeper meaning and how it makes the series worthwhile. Or you could admit you just like to see people get tortured.

Really? Jigsaw kills just because he things people don't appreciate there lives? It definitely has nothing to do with the struggle Jigsaw went through before he became a murdered throughout the flashbacks in all the films right?

Oh, I guess you didn't even watch the films.

This article on wikipedia does a decent job at summing up that Jigsaw. Its like your saying that because he's a serial killer, he can't have a backstory, or an interesting setting.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jigsaw_Killer

What serial killer film that didn't have an interesting story? Oh wait, your thinking of slashers like Halloween and Friday the Thirteen, and not films like From hell or Zodiac, or even Silence of the Lambs.


Oh wait, you probably think Silence of the Lambs is stupid. One of the more brilliant films that fortells a story of.....oh no! A serial killer!

You know what, I agree with you. Why don't we stop making every film in existent because they are based on one idea. Entertainment.

Are you religious fanatic that thinks you can judge everyone because they don't think your way?

I wonder why people like this torture porn, maybe that defines american culture and their likeness?

Hostel 1/2 and house of 9 are much better in that category, blows the competition.

I prefer you guys watching house of 9 much more better than your beloved cashcow.

Americans? Sure, I guess its better than foreigners and their Snuff films.

[sTyLnK]

I'm not a fan of torture movies at all. It's not horror or considered a scary movie. It's just gross.

I agree. But the best thing about Final Destination? Ali Larter!!!
