Last month, the developers of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game, coming our way from Gun Interactive and Sumo Nottingham, shared a behind-the-scenes video that gave a look at the mocap sessions where genre icon Kane Hodder (Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood) provided the performance of Leatherface – and his fellow cast members provided the performances of the other killers and the group of victims. Now another behind-the-scenes video has arrived online, and this one shows what went into the recording of the chainsaw sounds for the game. You can watch that video at the bottom of this article.
Matches of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game will pit 4 victim characters against 3 killer characters. The story of the game has the following set-up: When Maria Flores went missing, and local law enforcement seemed to stall out in their search, her younger sister Ana teamed up with some of Maria’s friends from college to pick up the trail. It’s time for you to meet our cast of Victims.
Hodder’s fellow mocap performers are Sean Whalen (The People Under the Stairs) as The Hitch-hiker; Troy Burgess (Swedish Dicks) as The Cook; Kristina Klebe (Don’t Kill It) as new killer character Sissy; Dove Meir (Dig) as new killer character Johnny; Scout Taylor-Compton (Rob Zombie’s Halloween), doing the mo-cap for all of the female victim characters; and Hunter C. Smith (Lucky), doing the mo-cap for all of the male victim characters. Although Whalen is doing the mo-cap for the Hitch-hiker, Edwin Neal, who played the character in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, is providing his voice for the game. It has been said that Damian Maffei (The Strangers: Prey at Night) is also in the game’s cast. You can find out more about the killer characters at THIS LINK and the victim characters HERE.
A release date for the Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game has not yet been announced, but it’s expected to be released sometime in 2023. Are you looking forward to the game?
