As stated on Variety, the game is still looking at a release date in the fall alongside the release of the 6th Saw film in theaters. Lionsgate had been given the rights to the game after Brash crapped out, and has worked out a deal with Konami. Which is smart on Lionsgate’s part because of the history Konami has with Silent Hill, and even Castlevania, and there is a good chance this Saw game could have some real potential. And maybe they will release some more information about the damn game. READ MORE

Exclusive Saw Video Game Update!

While we are still awaiting a new distributor for the SAW video game (after Brash lost all of its investment money and went out of business), we’ve got a little juicy morsel of new Intel for you to chew on. According to our sources close to the game, both Dr. Lawrence Gordon and Detective David Tapp are going to be making important appearances.

In James Wan and Leigh Whannell’s SAW (2004), Dr. Gordon was played by Cary Elwes (who was in one of my favorite movies of all time The Princess Bride) and Detective Tapp who was played by Danny Glover. Back in August of 2005 Elwes sued the producers of SAW, which we’re told finally has been resolved. Maybe we’ll be seeing him in SAW VI as well?

I’m hoping sometime in the near future they start showing some screens and game play videos so we can see what this game is all about. Info is pretty tight, but with the games release supposed to be alongside the release of SAW VI, you would hope soon they will release some media. READ MORE

Sources tell us the game was nearing completion and that voice over work was already being done. Hopefully this means a new publishing home will be easy to come by. Ghostbusters went through similar problems this summer when the video game was dropped along with several others by Activision. But Ghostbusters was thankfully very quickly picked up by Atari.

Brash Entertainment Is On The Out, What Will Happen To The Saw Game?

Brash Entertainment the developers of the Saw video game, are shutting down. Word is they have had a few major released that became major flops. But I mean, with games like Jumper and Space Chimps, how could they have gone wrong (sarcasm). The co-founder Thomas Tull left, and 400 million dollars worth of investors left, which left Brash in the poor house. Looks like the Saw game, and the few other brash had in the works are going to be in purgatory just like the Ghostbusters game was. Thanks to True Enemy for the tip. READ MORE
