Konami Announces Saw Video Game
Source:Press Release
April 13, 2009
Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc., today announced
Saw is being developed for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system, PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC.
Saw will invite players to engage in a horrific game inside the treacherous corridors of an abandoned insane asylum that has been transformed into a gauntlet of terrors by Jigsaw,
Saw's maniacal antagonist. SAW will expand the survival horror genre by allowing players, for the first time to experience the terror of
Saw on the game console, by pitting them against Jigsaw, his brutal traps and the mind bending puzzles that have become synonymous with the film franchise.
"Konami, partnering with Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures to create SAW was a very organic synergy," said David Daniels, Director of Marketing for Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.
"As the leader in the survival horror genre, it only made sense to align with one of cinema's most iconic horror franchises to create an entirely new survival horror experience."
Producers Mark Burg and Oren Koules of Twisted Pictures added,
"Through the years, it has been important to us to consistently find new ways to engage and thrill horror audiences, this game is the next step, transporting fans directly into Jigsaw's labyrinth."
Developed by Zombie Studios and based on the incredibly successful film franchise from Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures,
Saw uses the incredible graphic capabilities of the next generation consoles, to create a terrifying experience that offers truly unique gameplay features that will allow players to pit their wits against Jigsaw and make their choice...live or die.
Saw will be released in North America this fall. For more information, please visit:

Trash. Just like the series.
What a waste of good programmers. In this economic climate, they will smile and nod. Like me. Maybe I will get the Harry Potter side-scroller on DS. Again!

Might be good...I thought the Lost game would be garbage but it expanded the universe a good deal. Honestly people name a horror series that has had five movies and still has a half way decent story, or scares.

this is will probably be better and more original than quite a bit of games out today. i dunno about you guys, but im pretty bored with playing WWII shooter games.
plus this is a cool edition to the series, more interesting than a 3D film.

After Konami's slide of quality in the Silent Hill games, this could be a welcome addition. I always say there could be more and more horror games. The first Silent Hill creeped the hell out of me.

i'm looking forward to this - won't be top of the priorities list, but if i have some dough, and some time when this comes out, they might have sold another copy ;)
