[E3 2018] ‘GTFO’ Puts You Through Hell
We’ve been waiting on more than just screenshots for 10 Chambers Collective’s team-based horror shooter GTFO, and E3 has delivered.
For those that need a refresher (and in all honesty, we all do, since the game was announced last year), GTFO has you teaming up with up to three other players exploring dimly lit underground facilities, completing objectives while gunning down enemies that pop up randomly each time you play. In fact, the game takes unpredictability to new levels each time you play, not just with enemy placements, but also where ammo caches are placed, and even which doors you can/can’t use.
Unlike other team-based games, you don’t have any classes in GTFO. Instead, before a mission, you’ll pick a loadout consisting of primary, secondary, and melee weapons, with one special item. The special item can be something like a mapping device, sentry gun, or trip mines.
And whereas other games will have you finding keys to open doors, GFTO ups the tension by having you actually type in the command in a console to unlock the door. Now picture doing that while you and your friends are having to fend off a swarm of monsters.
This sounds like Left 4 Dead turned up to eleven, which is definitely not a bad thing. The team is targeting a 2018 release. Here’s hoping for more info (and video) as the game progresses.
We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
