I'm 99% positive they were never pre-rendered to begin with. They just used the default models and textures for everyone AFAIK.

Nah, there were definitely .bik files.

I remember planning to replace the Part 3 one with a suitably 8-bit/NES one but both :effort: and worries of it being frowned upon by Easy Anti-Cheat meant I did nothin'.

I can't decide if a map based off the NES game in those bright colors would be fun or a total headache to play on.

Nah, they were videos. They used to have intro / outro videos for each individual Jason for each map in the F13Game/SummerCamp/Content/Movies directory in the game files, actually. Not sure when those were swapped over - around the time they introduced Part IV, I think - definitely by Part V.

It'd be too distracting to have it done in that style, but a map that was layed out like the NES one would be fun, I think. A couple of patches of densely-packed woods; with the cave off in the distance, etc. Just need to tweak it some to accommodate the escapes, but yeah.

Yeah I think using the layout of that map would make for an interesting place to play, so long as it's not loving huge like Jarvis and Pinehurst.

I'd actually be OK with an 8bit skin for the map in natural colors, that might be a cool

As well as a Creighton Duke character as a "Tommy" figure I think we also need a "Sgt Brodski" in the mix too. Few people have given Jason a run for his money, but Brodski was a loving champion.

I've come to realize that level of obsessive weirdo is in every fandom.

It's just extra baffling when it's a horror franchise. Check out the 25 years of Terror doc about Halloween for another dose of "Why are you so obsessed with this poo poo?"

Required by his programming!
unless stealth has changed without patch notes, 9+ is required for the real benefit of it - beyond that, 3-8 is functionally the same, with 1 and 2 being especially noisy.

so she's basically just a luck beast with decent stamina and 3 repair.

Never assume that just because someone was in a cabin they bothered to check everything. That goes doubly so if you’re looking for gas/battery/propellor.

If you want advice for Jason scroll up the page or on the last page. It wasn’t asked for in earnest but the advice is good.

If you're Jason, best advice is to try and peg what the kids are up to early. Are they loudly going "JASON IS SUPER EASY TO KILL LOL" in the lobby? Well, there you go. Did you set a trap by the phone, only for someone to suicide dive right into it? Odds are you're going to be needing to babysit the phone (this is probably a good idea anyway, since it's the cheapest way for the kids to beat you).
