I feel bad for just now catching wind of Summer Camp and its early development. I blame titles like Last Year and Until Dawn for taking the spotlight in the realm of classic horror film style games and Summer Camp falling through my cracks when it was announced last October. Especially now that I know that this is more or less going to have Jason in it even though it won't be by name. We will have the ability to control the movements from the man who made that role so iconic in Summer Camp on the PS4, XB1, and PC so we can look past the fact that there is a Friday The 13th game in the works for now.
For those who were like myself, Summer Camp is a 1980s themed horror title that is in the works by some of the people who have made the kinds of films so popular over the years. We will be able to take control of one of the teen camp counselors in a third-person survival horror setting. Or we will be able to take control of the killer who is being mo-capped by Kane Holder or Jason Voorhees fame. See how that all tied back nicely? From there it sounds like the gameplay will be survive with the 6-8 other players while another player ruthlessly hunts you down. All with that campy, pun intended, 80s feel and look about it all. So who better to capture all of those kills for us?
Sadly, outside of the following images and video announcements there isn't much more to go on for Summer Camp. Well, outside of the platforms. You can see all of that below and also know that as more comes out for Summer Camp I will keep you all up to date now that it is on my watching list. Now to go stalk down more details like Jason hunting teenagers having pre-marital, drunken, drug-induced sex. I caught all the aspects there right?
