New footage for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is here with more of the horrors coming out of this Texas world
The horrors are out there once again with new footage for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, as Gun Interactive gears us all up to survive. There is still a lot more to come, but get ready for one more montage of brutality in the mix with the gameplay fresh from the ID@Xbox showcase that we had here. Gameplay which focuses more on how the Slaughter Family will be trolling around these virtual Texas locations and hunting down those that do not belong. All to get us ready for the pending release of the full game on August 18th for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. as long as we do not have any more bumps in the road for it all. We can hope for the best at this point.
There is not much here for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, before you get overly excited. Unless you are here to see the killers do what they do best. It does feel more like a highlight reel of their bigger kills. Kills that we will see and not see in the film from 1974 too. Given that this is all taking place months before the story of the original film and some of it is new to the IP in general. I have a feeling that the canon of the game story will have those elements killed off so as to not confuse things for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre in general. That or these events will just not exist and we will move forward on these fictional events based on true events once more. If only we get a skin of the real-world serial killer all of this is based on and not just the version of things the filmmakers picked and choose to have in there.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre — Xbox Gameplay
At the latest ID@Xbox Showcase, Gun Interactive — the multimedia development firm behind the upcoming The Texas Chain Saw Massacre — revealed a brand-new trailer for the upcoming asymmetrical horror game. Including the likes of the infamous Leatherface from the original 1974 film, the trailer paints a vivid, bloody picture of the dangers and mayhem that await players once the game launches in full on August 18th. Set to release on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre will be available on Xbox Game Pass.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre takes place in the months leading up to the events of the original 1974 film, and features authentic recreations of the locations, characters, and imagery of the source material. Players control either the Victims or members of the Slaughter Family in a vicious game of 3v4 cat-and-mouse that takes the tension and suspense of the film and repurposes it into thrilling, competitive action. The Victims and the Slaughter Family must both utilize their unique abilities to come out on top, as the former uses stealth and smarts to escape their fearsome tormentors, while each member of the Slaughter Family wields brutal and murderous attacks to hunt their prey.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre will launch on August 18th, 2023 for PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One, and will launch into Game Pass on Xbox and PC.
Did you want to see more of the Texas landscape in the game here or will these few locations be enough? Will the three-on-four format work well for this game or should it have been limited to a one-on-four format to make sure matchmaking never slows down? Would you want to see an Ed Gein skin in the mix to give the realism to it all or will it just work with the “based on” forever? Chop your way into the comment section and discuss all of this and more. We are hyped for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and will keep adding all we can for the game. Please keep on checking in for those updates and many others that we have coming down the line.
