The very first gameplay footage from this fall’s camp counselor stab ’em up is finally here, and despite coming in at a woefully brief 15 second running-time, it’s just long enough for Jason to claim his first victim: a door. Such a fine, sturdy door hardly deserves to get cut down with such brutal efficiency, reduced to a sad pile of splinters and bits of metal.
I know Jason has a condition, so I won’t bother chastising him for the missed opportunity to reference The Shining. I’ve watched this video a half dozen times, maybe more, and the empty space that should’ve been filled by an emphatic “Here’s Johnny!” stings every time.
I’ll get over it before Friday the 13th: The Game arrives in October for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
It pains me to leave you with such a paltry tease. And while I can’t offer anything as fulfilling as gameplay, we do have some behind-the-scenes footage from a recent mo-cap shoot, and there’s nothing wrong with repeat viewings of that awesome reveal trailer from last October.
