Delve Into the Making of Gun Interactive’s ‘The Texas Chain Saw Massacre’ With New Featurette [Video]
Ahead of next month’s technical playtest, Gun Interactive dropped a new making-of featurette for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre that delves into the team’s creative processes, highlighting all the excitement and difficulties that come with working on such a beloved franchise.
Featuring interviews with eight different team members of both Gun Interactive and co-developer Sumo Nottingham, the making-of video “illustrates the guiding philosophies that informed the design and development of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre“, involving key members from both teams sharing their personal ties to the series as well as their individual contributions to the game.
This featurette offers a glimpse into the world of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre itself. From digitally scanning every scratch on an authentic 70’s chainsaw, to digging through the journals of original screenwriter Kim Henkel to revive the drifter Sissy, this latest behind-the-scenes video has all kinds of details for fans to dig into ahead of the playtest.
And speaking of the playtest, news on just what the technical test will involve is expected in the coming weeks. Eligibility for the test will be limited, so keep tabs on the game’s social channels for when the sign-ups occur.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre will rev up on August 18th for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, and Xbox One. The game will also be available via Game Pass on Xbox and PC.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
