The Texas Chain Saw Massacre game can’t add in what it likes because that’s “not how Hollywood works”

Despite what fans may want, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre game director has had to remind fans that Hollywood can’t add everything from the series.

Hollywood is annoying. The big shots like to get bogged down in licenses that nobody really cares about and it’s just a way of protecting intellectual property that most people probably don’t even care about but in theory they could make money so obviously nobody can do what you want. want with that. And the CEO of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre game developer Gun Interactive has had to remind some fans of this fact, as the team is limited in what it can add to the upcoming asymmetrical survival horror due to licensing reasons (thanks , eurogamer).

“Friendly reminder. We have the interactive rights to the 1974 movie. We can’t include characters or locations from other TX movies because we don’t have those rights,” CEO Wes Keltner wrote on his own Twitter earlier this week. “My advice to you: get excited about what’s out there. Tell everyone you know. Post on social media, retweet, and discuss the game. In my experience, Hollywood reacts to rumors, not lawsuits.” Like I mentioned with that whole money thing, money really does talk, so as gross as it is, vote with your wallet if you want the video game version of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre to have a world that isn’t just limited to the first one. movie

We first got a proper look at the survival horror game last year, during the Xbox Games Showcase, and the game is set to launch this coming August. In it, you can take on the role of one of the members of the Slaughter family or try to survive as one of their victims. While the game seems to be taking shape quite nicely, it’s a bit of an odd choice to adapt, as the original movie is much more artistic than many might assume.
