Also who else saw the trailer for the new Friday the 13th video game?

Hellraiser 3 and Hellraiser Bloodlines (well...at least the first 45 minutes or so of it...) were pretty good, and part 3 was definitely my fave of the series.

I saw the Friday the 13th game trailer this morning, which was essentially the same trailer that I saw for a game called Summer Camp about a year ago (which you can see a homage to in the trailer, as one of the shirts lying on the ground does feature the game's original title.) The Kickstarter for it went live yesterday I believe, and it's already almost halfway there to finishing it's goal. It's got some pretty awesome unlocks at the 100 dollar level and up, and the concept of the game sounds interesting...sort of like a survival horror take on Evolve or Naughty Bear. I'm expecting this game to be a PSN/XBL budget title, but provided that the game map or scenarios are large enough, it could turn out to be fun.

What I thought was rather interesting was that the trailer chose to go with Kane Hodder's look from part 7, leaving me to wonder if there will be other legacy Jason costumes to unlock (which from the Kickstarter page, sounds like there will be) and how they managed to negotiate that, being that Paramount still owns the rights to the Friday the 13th title, while New Line/Warner Bros owns the Jason character. I was certainly expecting the reboot Jason (or a similar version with minor changes) to appear as opposed to a version of him from the original 80's films.
