What the hell, in the Part 9 film, Jason NEVER uses a 2 headed axe.

In fact he uses a machete for the majority of the time he has a weapon:



Yeah. They must have just had a lot of axe animations filmed up.

I need more executions. I'd love to be able to swap weapons around for the Jason's too.

-

As a daft aside, I was daydreaming about an Evil Dead game in this vein the other day. Group of people out in the woods with one person controlling "The Evil" if you will. You'd have to try and trap/kill the other players (summoning zombies in the woods, driving them mad in cabins until they suicide). Now, here's the twist...

Any player killed by the main evil is transformed into a Deadite which can go on to perform their own acts of murder and mayhem. It might seem unfair, but the surviving players grow stronger as their numbers dwindle. Call it, "The Ash Effect" or something. These people have struggled and survived through this nightmare and eventually snap and go over the edge and fight back with immense gusto until one person is left and the tables turn. Now that lone survivor is like Jason from this game, a force of nature, kicking arse for the lord and the Deadites have to work as a team if they want a chance of taking them down.

See you over on Kickstarter.

I want to use the Machette all the time as Jason, but Part 7 trades Shift for Water Speed and just ugh :smith:

I had probably the best Jason moment with part 7 the other day. Marching after an injured AJ and corralled her onto the pier and she had nowhere to go bar a desperate swim... Just stood on the edge watching her for a while then shifted out after her. :murder:

Mind you, I'm sure some maths goon could whip up some numbers about exactly how many games you'd have to play to unlock all the achievements anyway. What is it? 1000 kills as Jason? That's at least a hundred rounds(at max capacity), right?

I don't normally care about achievements, but for this? I want them all. :black101:

I'm so guilty of that. I'll lurk by the car and hope Jason goes after someone else EVERY drat TIME and it never works, I KNOW it never works... But like you say, it's some primal thing. You just can't resist it.

Plus Jason needs enough room/footing to do some kills. Like the part 8 axe-toss can't be done in a bathroom for obvious reasons.

It seems fairly stable depending on who you play with. I've been fairly lucky with some of the pubbies I've friended having decent connections.

It's fine when I host (unless I get a hard crash, but I doubt that's a connection issue) and I only like to play quickmatches because the amount of groups I've joined that say "RANDOM JASON" and then at the LAST SECOND the host picks themselves to be the big guy is unbelievable and I can't be arsed with that.

Talking of "cameo slashers" the killer from Hatchet would be a shoe-in seeing as that was Hodder again. Then I'd say lash Leslie Vernon in there too.

If you've never seen "Behind the Mask" I'd highly recommend it. It's a faux-documentary about "real world" slashers and how the logic of all the supernatural poo poo works behind the scenes.

GAH! I keep forgetting about timezones. I was expecting to go home in a couple of hours to play with it.

Same goes for the Pamela tapes. You can only find them in public matches on a Friday (apparently) but does that mean Friday where I live (gmt) or Friday where Jason HQ is? (god only knows what time)

That's pretty pathetic. What's the point of even playing?

It really is.

I've said before that I always try and play a "fun" Jason and do a bit of roleplaying. I (try) not to kill anyone in the first five minutes and use that time to drive fear up and I ESPECIALLY wont kill someone if I spawn right on top of them with the first shift.

But STILL people will quit out when they die, even if it's like, 18 minutes or so into the match. So weird. You're playing the wrong game if you think you have to "win"

If these have already been answered I've not seen them. THis thread moves pretty fast, sorry.

Test 1.

Do you know when the "chase" music kicks in with regards to a Jason and a Counsellor?

e.g. I'm Jason approaching a hut with a victim in. IDEALLY Jason's music should kick in say, 5 seconds before it starts on the counsellors end so IF Jason wants to pop stalk he can.

But if the music kicks in at the same time then the counsellor might get a bit suspicious if it starts up, then suddenly mutes. If you know what I mean.

Test 2.

Does Jason get alerted when someone crossed the threshold of his cabin, or just if they're in proximity?

I believe it is threshold

Cool. I've got this idea that on maps where it's REALLY out the way (like Pakanack) I might be able to hide juuuust outside as a girl until the match ends. It MIGHT be just far enough away from the usual "stalk zones" most Jason's have and if he DOES turn up then I can nip inside real quick and sweater him for my escape.

I really hope Part X and Uber Jason aren't palette swaps.

I was also thinking about the FvJ and Remake Jason's too. Couldn't they just make similar looking models and call them "Drowned Jason" and "Survivalist Jason" or something?

I may have already said something like that. But I REALLY want more Jasons... And kills...

I want a Roy too.

I think their license includes part 5 (Roy) and Jason X. FvJ and the remake are both out for legal reasons. They also could do Pam.

I personally expect to see Part 5 eventually, and then Jason X broken up into two Jasons - for a total of 3.

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for too.

And I know they can't TECHNICALLY have FvJ or the Remake... But SIMILAR looking models, tweaked JUUUUST enough and NOT NAMED after the films?

Some slavering lawyer is probably chomping at the bit over this game though. So may be best to just steer well clear. :smith:

Yeah, that's what I mean. There's all that legal hoo-haa with the writer of the first film who now "owns" the title Friday the 13th, so... Just drop that title altogether from now on when making the films. Just cut him out of it entirely if (whoever) owns the rights and likeness to Jason.

I'm no lawyer though, maybe it's more complicated than that.

For some reason the throwing knife kill in 6 REALLY stuck with me(lol) when I first saw it as a kid. I guess after becoming a weirdo obsessive with the series in later life it kinda sticks out like an odd thumb, but drat if that shot of the cop seeing Jason across the way then biting it wasn't loving cool as hell.

The hoops the Friday fans had to jump through to try and fix the "cannon" because of Jason goes to Hell and then Jason X coming out.

Jason "drowns" and Pamela, in her grief, tries to resurrect Jason using the Necronomicon.
Jason isn't dead, obviously, but his body is now "primed" for a demon to inhabit it. But it's "asleep" or some poo poo.
Films 1-4 happen.
Jason's corpse is awakened. The demonic magic has brought it back via lightning.
6-9 happen.
The demon then leaves Jason's body and... Uh, when Jason comes back(looking exactly like he did when he was blown up?) the demon is killed, but the uh, demons only pull him underground and not ALL the way to hell... But they take away the demon heart, but he's still a zombie? So hat's how X and Freddy Vs Jason can happen? Right?

I tried to get into the deep fandom, but y'know what? I love the films dearly, but I'm not going to try and overthink them on any level.

Big dude murders people. Sometimes he's a zombie. One time he was a demon heart thing, but we just ignore that one.
