You can't, because it'll suck. Unless you want to pay $60 for a videogame that only allows you a few hours of gameplay and has no replay value. The only horror franchise to get it's own game MODERNLY SPEAKING is Saw, and they didn't really keep it realistic to the movies, they had to add enemies to fight, minions that weren't even in the movie. You want to have a Jason game and fight a bunch of enemies that have nothing to do with the series? I think that'd be stupid personally. Just sit back and enjoy all the horror games they release, that aren't related to movies. Half of them are better than most the horror movies they have out anyways.<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndI'm not saying that have to do a shot by shot remake for a game. I just mean use the premise of Halloween or Friday the 13th for a themed game. It's more about setting the tone I think and adding elements that all us hardcore fans would pick up on but the casual gamer could play. Maybe a game where you try to outwit Myers or Jason, banding together or playing one by one a victim. There are tons of scenarios we could come up with. Then you beat the game and you get to play though it as Jason, etc. It's not perfect but worth $60 and it would sell based on the name alone. I just don't understand how they can make such crappy games ala the new SAW game and not spend some time on a new F-13 game. Or think of the dream sequences for the new ANOES movie you could do fighting against Freddy.I just want someone to give it a shot. Would it be perfect, probably not but it's worth trying right?

I certainly wouldn't want some Mortal Kombat style game where slasher fight, that's just stupid. I'd like a GTA style game where you are free to roam around town but there are also "missions" to be done.

i agree with Dren, but any way i can play as either Michael or Jason in a decent looking game, i'd play it. Also, i dont suppose there is a way you can download it onto your PS3 is there? I cant even read the languages when i downloaded it, so i had troubles there. Can anyone help? I want to atleast play the game some how.

I remember that classic NES Friday the 13th game.. LOL I could never beat that game.. Until I got introduced to game genie haha.. But it would be pretty cool to play as one of our favourite killers/slasher I also remember they made A Nightmare On Elm Street game. Where you had to go around and collect these bones, Beat that game without game genie <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":tongue:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"tongue.gif\" /> But the closest thing you got to playing a game as Jason VoorHees would be GTA Vice City. In that version of GTA I remember theres a hockey mask you can unlock or buy, dont remember. They also had a machete and chainsaw <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbsup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbsup.gif\" /> An then theres <a href=\"http://www.terrordrome-thegame.com/\" target=\"_blank\"><!--coloro:#FF0000<span style=\"color:#FF0000\"><!--/coloroTERRORDOME<!--colorc</span><!--/colorc</a> Also for those of you who didnt know.... There are mods out where you can use Jason VoorHees in CERTAIN version on GTA ( ONLY ON PC ) I know personally they got this mod for GTA San Andreas. <a href=\"http://games.softpedia.com/progDownload/GTA-San-Andreas-Addon-Jason-VoorHees-Download-45956.html\" target=\"_blank\"><!--coloro:#FF0000<span style=\"color:#FF0000\"><!--/coloroJason Addon for San Andreas PC<!--colorc</span><!--/colorc</a> Hope this helps out somewhat...

i'd be down for a New Freddy, Jason, Leatherface, Myers game...where you play as the Slasher, hacking up kids, campers ect.I WOULD LOVE a MORTAL KOMBAT style video game where you can fight as PINHEAD vs LEATHERFACE...or FREDDY vs CHUCKY...it would be a top seller...but licensing issue will make it impossible to put together.
