New Video for ‘The Texas Chain Saw Massacre’ Delves Into DLC Family Member Nancy [Watch]

Published

Gun Interactive have dropped a little behind-the-scenes video for fans who have picked up the recent DLC for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, featuring new Survivor Danny, as well as the newest member of the Family in Nancy. The latter of whom is the topic of the new video.

Motion-captured and voiced by BAFTA-winning voice actor Cissy Jones (Firewatch, Telltale’s The Walking Dead, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Evil Dead: The Game), the video shows off Jones performing the brutal hammer hits and more in the mocap suit, as well as a brief interview with Jones on her work in the game.

“Being able to bring a new member of the family to life has been a little terrifying, but super awesome,” says Cissy, whose character Nancy is based on an amalgamation of multiple female serial killers throughout history. “Everyone’s been amazing. You can’t find a better crew. It’s really, really fun, and it’s gotten a little dark. But that’s okay, that’s what we’re here for.”

“I took a lot of personality traits from studying those killers and crafted them into what I feel is a pretty sick and twisted individual,” explains TCM Creative Director Ronnie Hobbs when talking about the character. “She’s also fully responsible for turning [fellow Family member] Johnny into the monster he is, but that’s an entirely different story.”

“Nancy really kind of comes across as this diminutive, slight lady and she’s definitely unassuming,” explains Cissy. “And not somebody that you would initially be afraid of, which is what’s so deceptive about her. Because as soon as she smells blood in the water, it is a frenzy. And she just goes HAM on whatever’s in front of her.”

Nancy, along with Danny, can be purchased for $9.99 each. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is out now on PC via Steam, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.

Survios Announces VR Title ‘Alien: Rogue Incursion’, Coming This Year [Trailer]

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.
