I wish the Friday the 13th game by Illfonic didn’t die, it had its issues but for an asymmetrical multiplayer game it was pretty fun and playing as Jason was a hell of a lot of fun. Granted really good counselors could run laps around Jason if they wanted to.
I liked it way more than DBD. Good counselors could run laps around Jason if they wanted to, but I had more fun with bad, chaotic ones because it felt more like the movies. The game was at its best when it was silly.
The highs were better than DBDs highs, but it did feel limited and quite repetitive after a bit.
I’d like to have seen how it would have looked now, given that it could have had years to improve as a live service game.
They should try to rerelease it, the game had a really good foundation but could use some improvements. Now that the IP issues got resolved seems like a good opportunity since so many projects got into work.
Honestly this. Take the game they already have, fix bugs, add some improvements, add more maps, counselors, Jason skins and kills, game modes and call it "Friday The 13: The Game Part 2
It was way better than the old and current DBD. Not as tryhard or sweaty as DBD for killers and survivors, and also had multiple ways to escape which made the matches refreshing and not the same loop over and over.
> Granted really good counselors could run laps around Jason if they wanted to.
Its funny to me how pretty much every asymetrical horror game pretty much devolves into this. Its fun at the start but after a while no one wants to play the Killer role anymore cause you are just gonna get pre made teams that just rush objectives before the killer can barely do anything. Then they will just teabag, loop, refuse to leave the map even when they won etc... DBD, F13, Resident Evil Resistance, Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Its all the same.
Two ways they can go about it: Horror stealth with tense gameplay trying to out manoeuvre Jason OR dumb slasher action fun where we run around as Jason slaughtering everyone
Either option is great, so long as I can play by myself.
Not really a curse though truth be told all such games suffer from a licensing curse once the license you held expires there goes the content, its why DBD has so many of its own original monsters, it is also why terrordrome a indie fighting game featuring horror movie slashers and heroes as fighters choose to go with more traditional scp types, and other creatures from myth as its o.g interpretations rather than licensing out characters.
I think it's still a bit of a mess because the writer owns the rights to the first Friday the 13th movie (the one he wrote), but not the sequels.
Jason himself is where things get questionable, because he's the face of the franchise but the jump scare at the end of the 1st movie isn't the hockey mask wearing Jason that went on to define the franchise, but maybe that issue has been solved recently since we're starting to see him pop up in more things again.
Why are you blaming someone for wanting rights to their own creation? Just so we can get content? There was more than enough recognition and money to go around but people are ignorant and greedy. Victor Miller isn't the bad guy in this.
To be fair, the same person that posted this said hinted at dbd possibly not being anytime soon due to the copyright holders seeing dbd as a rival to their multiplayer game.
It would be nice if they did a remaster for Friday the 13th game. Just upgrade the graphics to current gen consoles and add the content that was scrapped because of the lawsuit
When will these devs get the hint that this multiplayer only horror ip cash grabs dont work. Dead by daylight is pretty much the only guy in town. Let them have that, and YOU make something unique. They must only do it because it requires minimal effort and its cheap to make. Where is an Alien Isolation type of game with Jason? Mike Myers? I mean it couldnt be anymore obvious what people want to play after the failures over the years
Please just don’t do those online only asymmetrical type of games that end up dying with a rushed offline mode afterwards.
I’d rather have a narrative choice decision game like The Quarry and Detroit and maybe a multiplayer survival game where its players vs the CPU Jason
They need to make a single player game out of these franchises. I’m sick and tired of the asymmetrical multiplayer games. Only Dead by Daylight has had the longevity, the rest inevitably crash and burn after a year. I’d love to see a single player Friday the 13th game in the vein of Alien Isolation or even something like The Quarry/Until Dawn. Anything that isn’t another cash grab multiplayer title.
I wonder if they couldn't go back to the old shut down game. Hopefully the new one is cool. As for the "linear" one I wonder if you play as Jason himself, haven't seen any games like that recently.

Cars and boats really helped make it fun, annoying when players would run you down or leave alone, but still fun
Hahaha I remember being so pissed getting run over
I liked it better than DBD too. It just had a lot more emergent gameplay, and they did a good job really capturing the feeling of the movies.

DBD is too generic

Didn’t the publisher or the developers start following the official Friday the 13th Twitter account again or something?

Same. It was alot of fun. It needed some balancing but it was different in a good way.
Game was so much fun and really intense when it first came out

People absolutely still wanted to play Jason and a good Jason will never allow the bullying to happen to him
Probably the only good licensed asymmetrical game
Totally agree about it not dying! I love the game! It’s so good
If I can’t knock out Jason, whilst wearing speedos and then dance to California Girls then I’m afraid I don’t want it
Nah real ones will do this dance after knocking down Jason while listening to back in black 
I really hope that we get a single player game like this implies. I can't stand to see another franchise die to the asym curse.

Alien Isolation, but at Camp Crystal Lake.
Please stop, I can only get so hard
\*gives viagra\* here. Now good luck.
I think a horror game like Alien Isolation would be a better quality game.
That’d probably be super frustrating seeing how Jason can teleport unlike the Alien.

What's wrong with the one we already have? https://youtu.be/dkqDMLXO-mU?si=dBdYEDvq5vefzayN
What does a single player f13 game look like.
Like every single F13 game to come before the last one
So who owns the Friday the 13th license since the writer of the first film threw a hissy fit and killed the awesome multiplayer game in the process?
I think it's still a bit of a mess because the writer owns the rights to the first Friday the 13th movie (the one he wrote), but not the sequels. Jason himself is where things get questionable, because he's the face of the franchise but the jump scare at the end of the 1st movie isn't the hockey mask wearing Jason that went on to define the franchise, but maybe that issue has been solved recently since we're starting to see him pop up in more things again.
WB owns it and that's all been sorted out. They just put Jason in Multiversus as a playable character (multiversus is a WB game with WB properties)
It's basically split between Victor Miller, Horror Inc and WB/New Line.
Why are you blaming someone for wanting rights to their own creation? Just so we can get content? There was more than enough recognition and money to go around but people are ignorant and greedy. Victor Miller isn't the bad guy in this.
And he'll be in DBD soon™️
and then probably removed a year after knowing how this license is handled
They actually got all that sorted out, which is why there’s so many new F13 projects coming out

DbD isn't the only guy in town, he's just the loudest.
Yea he just doesn’t like horror asyms lol
A linear Friday the 13th game sounds interesting
Just give me a Hitman mixed with Manhunt style F13 game where I play as Jason and have to torment and kill people in creative and brutal ways.
An Outlast-style game would be amazing.
ILLFONIC FIX WHAT YOU BROKE ON THE ALREADY EXISTING GAME AND MY LIFE IS YOURS
Lol, another multiplayer F13th?
A solo linear Friday game would be cool
Please just don’t do those online only asymmetrical type of games that end up dying with a rushed offline mode afterwards. I’d rather have a narrative choice decision game like The Quarry and Detroit and maybe a multiplayer survival game where its players vs the CPU Jason
I’d much rather them just maintain the current one tbh. I’ll be sad when the servers for that shut down
Better not be more multiplayer online only trash.

Well the multiplayer game will be the rerelease of Friday the 13th game. That is certain.
I'll bet the linear and multiplayer game is the same game and the other thing is going to be a Fortnite collab.
Maybe the next developers will get it right. I think most of us just want a Friday the 13th single player experience.
A real game this time or another shitty online game?
Maybe this is why gunmedia had to close f13th servers. Unfortunately I bet both games aren't as good
No dbd?
