Exclusive Saw The Video Game Interview!

So I got a chance to throw a few questions by Saw The Video Game Producer and Saw freak David Cohen! Check them out! And don't forget to go see Saw V out in theaters now!



"The SAW video game is set to release in October 2009, in conjunction with the next installment of the film series. SAW the video game will give fans of Jigsaw a reason to live. Collaborating closely with LionsGate and Twisted pictures, the video game will have its own unique storyline, taking place between SAW I and SAW II and focusing on questions left unanswered within the first film, while bridging the gap between the first and second films. In an effort to stay true to the SAW Universe, Brash is working closely with the SAW creators, Leigh Whannell and James Wan, ensuring the game pulls no punches, and delivers the horrifying suspense and disbelief that has floored fans worldwide. The SAW video game is currently in development for next-gen platforms, PS3 and Xbox 360, and will be built using the Unreal 3 game engine."

TJ: How does this game tie into the movies, is it a separate story, would it be considered the 6th movie, or is it strictly based on the 1st movie?

David: Overall the SAW video game will tie in to all of the films in one way or another, but the storyline bridges the gap between the first two films. I like to think of the SAW video game as "SAW 1.5". On one hand, the video game is a sequel to the first film, as it provides answers to the mysteries that left you hanging, on the other hand it is also a prequel to SAW II, giving explanations to the set up of many aspects of the second film.

TJ: What's the game play going to be like? 1st person, 3rd? More shooterish? Mystery solving, both?

David: The SAW video game will be a full-on third person horror experience, while maintaining the mystery, thrills and terror of the SAW universe. Players will try to figure out the secrets behind Jigsaw's plan as well as what is in store for them, but there will also be plenty of action, puzzle solving and of course new and original traps in addition to some of the fan favorites sure to deliver all the gruesome aspects of SAW that we love.

TJ: Do you take on the roll of a cop? Or someone captured by jigsaw?

David: Who you play as in the SAW video game is one of the big secrets that we will be revealing closer to the games release. The game will provide players the same visceral experiences that the films are known for, and as you know from the films, no one is safe from being captured by Jigsaw, even the cops.

TJ: We will be hearing any familiar/famous voices in the game?

David: I can't go into specific detail at this time - but what I can tell you is that there will be relevant cast involvement, and that we are taking steps to ensure that the SAW video game is as true to the films as possible

TJ: Sound is a big deal in a game like this, will there be a score, familiar sounds from the movie, what are we looking forward to hearing?

David: Alex Guilbert, the sound designer over at Zombie and for the SAW video game, is top notch, and is definitely giving it that SAW-feel while adding to the interactive experience using true 3D surround sound. Many folks who have tested the game have literally jumped at the sound alone. We will also have some other announcements about the score later on next year.

So it's going to have a Condemned feel to it? Am I the only one getting that vibe? Still interested though.

Darkened Soul 10:03am, October 24, 2008

Condemned is first person...while this game is going to be 3rd person... I'm hyped..

goodisbad 10:53am, October 24, 2008

I've been dying to have my unanswered Saw 1 questions answered. I hope this does the trick.

4amTerror 1:45pm, October 24, 2008

Very cool idea but i think this will b a very hard thing to pull off! If done right this would b very cool!

tek8738 3:37pm, October 24, 2008

sounds cool but does anyone else notice how generic his answers are?

Jacques 8:45pm, October 24, 2008

Hmm. I don't really have a good feeling about this, being a major Saw fan. I just don't get how it could translate into game. At all. Manhunt 2-ish, maybe? I just don't get it. But with James Wan writing again (thank God), I know at least the STORY will be good. I could see this as a major failure, or a major success. I don't think it'll just take middle ground.

flesheater123 11:24pm, October 24, 2008

Dude that will sick if you play yourself in the game.... I will be so F ing Happy.

roostergore 11:39pm, October 24, 2008

So after you finish the puzzles why would you ever play this again? Renter all the way.

BurnTheBlueSky 1:20am, October 25, 2008

I won't give up hope till I see some screen shots and gameplay

dtcarefree 6:49am, October 25, 2008

Sucks that it will only be out on PS3 and Xbox 360 (I don't have either, and can't afford either). Needs to be released on the PC platform.

madastars 7:59am, October 25, 2008

i cant wait to play game . i think will be great

AfterTheAsylum 1:16pm, October 25, 2008

This is going to be, quite possibly, one of the most boring games ever made. This is a paycheck game. It's not like you are going to be facing any "baddies" in the game. It is going to be point A to point B running, backtracking, and examining. Where In The World Is Carmen San Diego?

billy 1:38pm, October 25, 2008

I am excited for this. I am a little let down that Charlie Clouser isn't doing the sound for this one though. I just can't see, or hear in this case? Anyone else doing as well.

Ashedmaniac 3:24am, October 26, 2008

I wonder if you play as Dr. Gordon. Yeah, I know it's tired to talk about him, but he IS in this timeframe...and you likely struggle for a whole game only to die at the end. Then again, maybe you're Obi at some point. Who knows? Jigsaw or a cop are obvious options. But still...if they're not going to tell us in the films and they can get Cary Elwes back, why not cover Gordon's fate in the game?

Shannon 9:46pm, October 26, 2008

This is going to be a fuckin sick game...cant wait for the release:):):):):):)

Zariff Peoples 7:34pm, October 27, 2008

Some people are so ungrateful to be alive but not you, NOT anymore!

the_bad_ash 12:08am, October 28, 2008

sounds kinda like the suffering....i did like that game....hmmmm....

B_478 1:23am, October 28, 2008

When is it comin out? This month is over!!!

BurnTheBlueSky 11:59pm, October 29, 2008

October 2009, Focus!!

skullman 9:09pm, October 30, 2008

what the fuck I don't think saw would make a good video game but maybe Im wrong

Myersfan1993 12:20pm, November 2, 2008

this would be awesome

norristian 4:07pm, November 3, 2008

His responses are "generic" and not clear answers for two reasons. One being things can change drastically during production and one wouldn't want to get potential fans hyped up over something that might change. The second being that no producer wants to give everything away. Especially with a game like Saw where everything relies on twists and the like. As a Saw fan, I've gotta say... I'm rather interested! ^_^

xXGreenZebraGoreXx 11:53pm, November 3, 2008

No doubt I'll seek it out to play when it arrives,(if only to see what they did with it) but I'm still awed by the continuation of this series...0.o I'm sorry, but the series should have ended at three...maybe two.

HORRORFAN4LIFE 7:47pm, November 4, 2008

Interesting...Just like what 4amTerror said. It has to be done right it could be a very cool game. Especially 4 wii!
