I always wondered why a summer camp had like… literally a gun every few feet. I’m actually really happy that they toned down the amount of guns and machetes in the levels. The claustrophobia of the boat would also be a nice change of pace from numerous levels of open cabins and sparse woods. Since this boat inexplicably sailed from Crystal Lake to New York (how did that happen?!), it would make sense to have supporting islands. Second option is the cruise ship from Part 8. This will force counselors to swim for rapid transit or item retrieval. I would design that map to have a massive lake in the center – maybe with an island or two scattered on it. First, the setting from Part 7: A New Blood. While one new level won’t entirely fix this problem, it will help. Oh, Part VII Jason has excellent water speed… does that matter? As things stand currently, this almost never happens in the game. When I can only equip three perks – who cares if one of them pluses my water speed by 99%? I’m never going to use that. This makes all those water traits kind of useless. I don’t have any solid numbers to back me up here but I wouldn’t be surprised if the average counselor spent less than 10% of his or her time in water. Most have a shoreline in a corner or narrow rivers running throughout. While it’s a cool aspect to add variety, it feels pretty weak right now for one major reason: There’s not a lot of water on the current maps. I believe this will add variety and further develop what already is one of the most interesting aspects of the game.Ī lot of perks in the game revolve around water – this is true for both counselors and Jason. After this is done, he now has a one-time opportunity to stun Jason, much like the sweater. After this is done, the counselor will need time (perhaps a button-pressing mini-game like car repair, except based on composure stat) to re-style his looks. Once the counselor has scissors, it’s time to look for a bathroom, more specifically a mirror. Not like Jason is supposed to be the sharpest knife in the drawer. Sure, our counselors are a little older but the effect could still work. It would be exactly one item that would function much the same way as a pocket knife should Jason grab you. Every game would load with one set of scissors in a drawer. This will require a procedure of its own. While only female counselors can steal the sweater, male counselors can cut their hair and mimic kid Jason (much in the way that young Tommy Jarvis did at the end of Part 4). Rather than have Chad discover his feminine side, I believe I’ve come up with a solution that stays close to franchise emulation. Yet if there are no female counselors in the game, or if they have died, it prematurely closes the option to kill Jason. It’s a cool bit of fan service to be sure and – as I said – really interesting gameplay. This is to recreate the ending of Part 2 where the final girl pretends to be Jason’s mother, halting the killer in his tracks. It is the second part where the potential issue begins: Only a female counselor can steal the sweater. This method is a multi-step process that involves summoning Tommy Jarvis, stealing a sweater, and knocking off a mask. Yes, it is possible (if unlikely) for the counselors to band together and turn the tables on their foe. One of the most interesting aspects of gameplay in Friday the 13th: the Game revolves around killing Jason. I know: Unsolicited feedback from a white guy – how original.īeing able to turn the male counselors into mock kid Jason That said, I do have some thoughts on how Friday the 13th: the Game can improve and, maybe more importantly, how these companies can keep financing their efforts. Months later and I’m still routinely diving into Crystal Lake, the Jarvis House and newly added Pinehurst. When I first started playing Friday the 13th: the Game over Christmas vacation, I thought it was fun but frustrating.
Which would be a shame since developer IllFonic and publisher Gun Media have created a fan love letter to the series, complete with meticulously recreated campground levels. If you’ve only ever played the 1989 indecipherable mess that was the Nintendo Friday the 13th, you may have written off the series’ gaming potential. If it weren’t for the 2017 video game (aptly named Friday the 13th: The Game), the franchise would be all but dead.
It has nine years since the Friday the 13th remake tried and failed to breathe life back into hockey mask-wearing slasher Jason Voorhees.

The Friday the 13th series doesn’t have much life these days, at least so far as the cinema is concerned.
