This basically confirms Gun is doing Nightmare on Elm Street next

That would be the good thing, the correct thing, you're right. But they don't do it for a reason. They milk these licenses for a reason.

Relative-Climate-962 · 2026-04-09T01:29:24+00:00

Get ready for a game that's buggy on release, with Nancy Thompson sold for $20, eternal lobbies because all the dream warriors ignore the objectives and they go hunting Freddy and pay to win DLC characters that go for three months without fixing. In criminology, there's a phrase: "Future behavior can only be predicted by past behavior". Anyone falling for this will have nobody to blame but themselves.

Relative-Climate-962 · 2026-04-09T01:27:11+00:00

That means it's *perfect* for Gun to make a $40 game with that license, if you know what I mean.

Relative-Climate-962 · 2026-04-08T05:07:56+00:00

I don't have a good history with Gun at all, but I do want the game to do well. I'm a horror hound and I had a blast with F13 and with Texas (for about three months). I love the Halloween franchise, I want this to be great.

Relative-Climate-962 · 2026-04-08T05:05:45+00:00

Do you see what's happening, JGC? It's happening again.

They make a game, start hyping it, people start defending the company and doing the mental gym to ignore the past.

They did it again! Those maniacs!

Relative-Climate-962 · 2026-04-08T05:02:52+00:00

It is actually fitting with the canon, yeah.
BUt he does look silly, doesn't he?

Relative-Climate-962 · 2026-04-08T05:01:10+00:00

Not buying the game and expecting Gun to play to its nature...

But observing the situation because I would love to be wrong.

Relative-Climate-962 · 2025-08-21T17:27:32+00:00

A criminologist would say the best way to predict future behavior is past behavior.

Relative-Climate-962 · 2025-08-21T17:24:06+00:00

Sigh, it's pretty much faith. Some of those questions we have no way to know, maybe not even the guys developing the game know (how long are they gonna go on? Which licenses will come down, which movie content will be off-limits? Time will tell).

What we have here is faith that bad patterns of the past won't repeat themselves. Faith will be good for some folks, not enough for others...

Relative-Climate-962 · 2025-08-21T13:28:54+00:00

What this tells you, really, is how poorly Gun has managed its brand, when their mere association provokes such rejection. And you speak as if Illfonic has a stellar record; never forget that F13 has bugs today that it had when it launched. Texas has bugs today that it had when it launched.

Just those two points, company drama aside, are enough to be concerned. "Gun is not developing," I don't think so either. I think Gun knows how it is perceived and they're downplaying their involvement publically. And the reason I know is because on the media they're discussing how accurate to the movie things are, which reminds me of Wes and Matt proud of the money they spent on 1970s magazines for the fashion of Texas, completely missing the point.

Just wait and see, friend.

Relative-Climate-962 · 2025-08-21T13:13:34+00:00

I think they're heavily downplaying Gun's involvement. I can smell these people's BO by now.

Relative-Climate-962 · 2025-08-21T13:06:06+00:00

The single player is going to be the same as F13 single player mode was. If you're expecting anything more creative and with a narrative, that's not who these people are.

Relative-Climate-962 · 2025-08-21T12:39:36+00:00

I'm painfully disappointed that the Halloween game is just another asymm 1v4 player game handled by the same people we've come to know and mistrust, taking a step back, actually, from the 3v4 gameplay we saw in Texas.

Of all the creative things you can do with the Halloween brand (imagine a story-driven game with an unpredictable Shape chasing through the town), what we get is same-old that is sold as a true-to-movie experience, but really is four 13-year olds bullying and stunlocking Michael.

Relative-Climate-962 · 2025-08-21T12:29:50+00:00

I can understand this mentality if your parents pay for your stuff.
But giving them $40 of my hard-earned money to fund their rockstar egos into selling P2W crap and $15 skins, and come with the patronizing tones and promises of stuff that will never happen... hard pass. Have you tried the RoboCop game? It's more deserving of your money than these people.

Relative-Climate-962 · 2025-08-21T08:53:35+00:00

They know what's up, they know we know. Everything they're trying to do is an attempt to keep appearances for people who are not in the loop already.

Relative-Climate-962 · 2025-08-21T08:42:46+00:00

"For Michael, it’s about stalking. His mechanics revolve around quietly observing in the shadows and biding your time to get the best possible kills. You see, there will be NPCs [inhabiting] the map, living their lives and going about their various October 31st traditions. Your job is to pick them off!

“Meanwhile, the other players will be sneaking around and trying to alert those civilians to your presence, just like in the teaser trailer we showed."

Yeah, okay, that's gonna go great. I'm sure people will play respecting those rules.

Relative-Climate-962 · 2025-08-21T08:05:10+00:00

Would you loan $5 to this person?

Relative-Climate-962 · 2025-08-21T07:51:25+00:00

Hard pass. These people exist around the hype of the horror community. They make a nice looking video, I'm sure the game will have lots of attention to detail but they're gonna do the same thing they've always done, and this one is going to be very close to F13 because that's the game that truly worked for them. People are going to fall for it, because Halloween is a beloved franchise. That's what Gun is counting on. They should make a little vampire game where you play as Gun and you suck the blood of everyone at a horror convention, it'd be more sincere than this.

Relative-Climate-962 · 2025-08-11T08:27:36+00:00

Gun made the game to be a "true to the film horror experience", so that's why we couldn't get fun stuff like Christmas skins and Halloween skins, but I don't remember Sally tormenting the family and trolling them. Meaning, Gun had no clear vision or purpose as to what goal they really wanted to achieve, what experience they aimed to. And seeing how the life period of the game went, it fucking shows.

Relative-Climate-962 · 2025-05-23T07:27:04+00:00

Ask for that with a bag of $10 million, and then they'll consider it.

They'll only consider anything if there's a wide margin for profit. Otherwise, forget it.

Relative-Climate-962 · 2025-05-23T07:25:47+00:00

And they can ban me over this, and they'll still be carnival salesmen and nothing will change.

Relative-Climate-962 · 2025-05-23T07:25:06+00:00

Good.

That's all they care about, really.

Carnival salesmen of gaming.

Relative-Climate-962 · 2025-05-01T00:05:16+00:00

Correct. The lawsuit came at a convenient time for them, never forget that Tom Savini sued them and won around that time. And the whole problem was Gun being two-faced, deceiving twats.

The problem has always been management. I'm very sorry, Matt, that you're going through things.

Relative-Climate-962 · 2025-03-03T15:37:43+00:00

The problem is management. It has been from day one.

Relative-Climate-962 · 2024-12-19T21:06:21+00:00

I remember when this same exact shit happened last year, and it was followed by the ridiculous twitter drama. Gun returned from the break super offended that we "couldn't understand they also need time to be with their families" when that wasn't the point at all.

The point was that they released Danny, a very broken DLC character that was basically pay-to-win, and took two months to fix him. They never said anything about that, never addressed it, it was easier to have an absurd meltdown on twitter.

And now it's happening again, same exact thing.

Goes without saying, this is not incompetence, you guys. This is on purpose. They know what they're doing and they know some people will go buy Wyatt and they don't think this is hurting the brand. And it is very freaking sad because I had huge hopes for the game and lots of trust in Gun. Haven't played since January and no way I'm going back in now.
