Illfonic Posts Update on Future ‘Friday The 13th: The Game’ Content
Okay, I get it. Some of you aren’t happy with how Gun Media and Illfonic have been handling Friday The 13th: The Game, and you have the right to be. The company has however been trying to make it up to players over the frustration of bugs and online community interaction. And in a recent forum post, Illfonic executive producer Joshua Gertz laid out their content plans over the next two months for game updates.
In the post, Gertz does acknowledge the frustration for XBox players and the memory leak issue. The process of getting that patch rolled out was delayed by the certification process on XBox, and Gertz did post a link to the outline of the next patch’s progress. Gertz also acknowledged that they are working on the single player aspect (which yes, should have been released by now). They’ve also hired additional staff to get a handle on things (which again, was something that they should have done earlier).
If you’ve read my useless opinion on Twitter (or heard the banter from Jimmy Champane and John), we know that yes, it’s a small indie team working on this game, and they don’t have the same resources as a AAA studio. However, that doesn’t mean that they should get a free pass, either. The game, for all its good things, was marred by not-so-good things when it was released, and the team was slow to pick up the slack. But again, they are making steps towards getting things fixed up, and it gets to be a lot of fun when things go well. So, hang tight!

All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
