I'm sorry did you forget what dumb rear end franchise you're talking about? Uber-Jason owns and is as silly looking as the Savini Jason is so gently caress it. BRING ON THE NANITE JASON.

I remember (and I'm sure this has come up before) when Todd Farmer, the Jason X writer, used to post on the Friday the 13th message board. He was telling us how Uber Jason was meant to just be this daft wee gag right at the end of the film but the suits forced them to push his appearance and had him in the trailers and posters and everything. Hahaha.

Lord Zedd Jason is dumb as all hell. But when you reach film 10 in a series about an unkillable zombie man in a mask I think you have to get a bit dumb.

I mean the first five were dumb enough, but the series officially went Full Racecar the moment that Tommy Jarvis stuck a fence post through Jason's dead eye and lightning bolted him into a Frankenstein.

This really isn't a reason why they shouldn't do Uber Jason. This whole franchise, game included, is dumb and juvenile and that's why we love it.

I imagine if the devs ever were able to get their hands on another major license they'd just crank out another complete game so they could charge $40 for it(and if it were different enough I wouldn't blame them). Now, lesser slashers like Hatchet or Cropsey could fit right in with the summer camp setting and would probably be fairly cheap to get the licenses for, so maybe that's a possibility(even though they've said they have no plans to do it).

But this is a template that could easily work with plenty of other horror icons, so maybe it will develop into an ongoing franchise. An entire game of Michael Myers themed maps(suburbs, hospital)and objectives would totally work, and I also think a Child's Play game would be great. With Chucky there would be a lot more focus on stealth and movement, maybe throw in some air vents for him to crawl around in Batman style.

With Chucky you can also have a bit of a The Thing going on, with multiple Good Guy Dolls around the house and only one of them is the real thing.

Chucky would have to have permanent stalk mode on, because stealth is really his only strength. Otherwise he's literally only as powerful as a 2-foot-tall doll. "Grabbing" would also kind of be out of the question, or maybe his grab equivalent would be like a Jockey in L4D2. Chucky leaps on someone's back with his hands over their eyes and steers them towards environmental kills. The slash melee could even be used while riding them, with the caveat being that he'd be much easier to break free from.

Maybe instead of stalk turning off music cues, stalk silences Chucky's sprint and in-world actions (so you don't hear his little feet or him exerting himself as he runs around, vents opening, etc.). And instead of shift you get a long-range outdoors morph and an indoors, limited-range morph. Like you can be outside chasing somebody and then teleport inside into a cupboard... oh oh, and cupboards are a place you have to also look for supplies.

e: Also a dedicated button that plays pre-recorded Good Guys sound clips because no way will that ever get old. Hidey ho! Ha ha ha!

To be clear I'm talking about if they developed a Chucky game from the ground up just using the same basic template as Friday the 13th, so it wouldn't necessarily have to work off the same exact mechanics. That's a good idea you had about how to do environmental kills though.

I was thinking maybe you have a system where Chucky first grabs your leg and maybe your character starts freaking out, immobilizing you(like as if you were grabbed by Jason) as you try to shake him off. Then from there Chucky can do a number of different kills where he scrambles up your body and stabs you or drags you down to the ground and kills you with an exacto knife, poo poo like that. Chucky has actually killed people in a really wide variety of ways so the different versions of Chucky would be pretty easy to make feel unique.

Verticality would be a big part of it though, which would really set it apart. Allow Chucky to scramble on top of large dressers and other furniture, make it so he could hide behind a low couch and pop out, stuff like that. Maybe also give him the ability to put other Good Guy dolls around the map AND freeze himself in place if he wants to fool the victims into thinking he's not the real Chucky.

Ironically, Uber Jason would probably look a lot better in F13 the game than he does in Jason X the film. The lighting in the game is better and the metal mask and chestpiece would probably look more like actual, authentic metal.

Yea Jason X is a very Canadian production so most of the technical stuff is pretty second-rate. The opening scene where Jason gets frozen looks pretty good but that's about it.

Also looking at Part 8 Jason in that screenshot from that article, it will never not bug me that Jason changes his loving mask every single movie. It's never the same mask and yet it's supposed to be the same one with the same damage from movie-to-movie. The knife cut is still there on the top but it's completely different otherwise.

And me being the big horror dork I am, the other day I made me a Part 3 Jason mask from a cheap $7 Halloween hockey mask:



I think it looks pretty good considering it only cost me $12 (including chevron stencils from here: https://www.jdfstudios.com/) and 30 minutes of actual work.

That's not ENTIRELY true.

The mask from 3 and 4 are the same, and the mask from 6 and 7 are the same.

3 starts out all new and clean, gets dirtied up and an axe through it. In 4 it gets destroyed.

6 is a mask Tommy creates based on the original, which is why I guess it has an axe mark in it? Tommy was weird. Anyways it gets shot and then a chunk at the bottom is torn off by propeller damage. In Part 7 it gets broken in half by mind powers


Now why the mask Jason randomly finds on a boat in Part 8 has the axe mark, who knows. Presumably that's the same mask that's in Jason Goes to Hell (which at that point is a magic mask I guess) Freddy VS Jason and maybe Jason X, but really who can say.

The only mask between those four movies that HAS to be the same one is the Jason Goes to Hell mask going into Freddy VS Jason. But by that point it was, again, quite supernatural

PRETTY sure Tommy was still making masks in 5. Maybe he just broke the strap but I think the mask was destroyed in 4.
