Juego de Saw para 2009 (Brash Entertainment)

Saw game will be here next year

Brash Entertainment has said its game tie-in for horror movie Saw is down for an October 2009 release.

The developer spilled its guts at a US press conference where punters got a taste of what to expect.

"You as game journalists are wasting your lives," the Jigsaw puppet told attending IGN reporters.

The game will apparently have lots of help from the film makers and bob in and out of the various Saw plots so far. It runs on Unreal Engine 3 too, which means it could well appear on 360 and PS3 - although nothing has been announced.

"2010" Unveiled

Mysterious movie tie-in announced -- initial impressions.

IGN recently had the opportunity to attend a press event held by Brash Entertainment. One of the items on display was a teaser trailer for an as-of-yet unnamed project which is internally being referred to as "2010" -- the year of its intended release. While we know extremely little about this title at the moment, we do know that it will be based on an upcoming film and is being developed by a "name brand Japanese studio." The only other information offered was in the form of the aforementioned teaser trailer.

The trailer, which appeared to be a pre-rendered sequence, begins in an ancient tomb-like environment filled with deep gold tones and a brooding atmosphere. A single hero figure, bearing Greco-Roman style armor along with a sword and shield, stares down at a few skeleton warriors stalking towards him. The long-haired man smirks calmly (which becomes a main theme of the trailer) before dispatching the skeletons with flashy swordplay. However, a mere skeleton fight isn't the climax of this video.

Just as the man backs away cautiously from the overwhelming odds, a massive Minotaur stomps into the room, snorting with -- one could only imagine -- vicious intent. The hero nimbly dodges the Minotaur's tremendous axe, runs up the hilt of the weapon and sinks his blade deep into the beast's neck. As the resulting chaos ensues, the hero breaks through a nearby wall and ends up outside the tomb in a burst of sunlight.

The trailer continues on by squaring the hero off with a giant scorpion, which he chops to bits using the Minotaur's own oversized weapon. Finally, as an angry group of Minotaurs close in on him, he throws the sting of the scorpion's tail into one of his opponent's shoulders, which poisons it. The trailer ends by showing the hero, who runs his sword across his shield, as he smirks one last time. No other information is given besides this visual presentation.
