Gun Interactive recently shared a behind-the-scenes video detailing the process of recording audio and sound effects for their upcoming multiplayer horror game The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
The focus of the featurette is the titular tool of devastation itself, the chain saw wielded by legendary horror villain Leatherface. The developers said the major difference to the approach they’re using is recording the chainsaw in various environments rather than simulating the noise to add another layer of authenticity to the world.
In the video, Gun President and CEO Wes Keltner, along with Foley FX artist Lord Kayoss and veteran SFX recording artist Watson Wu, explain the inherent challenges in attempting to recreate the original chainsaw and attendant sound effects of the original 1974 film.
Featuring brand-new footage from the game and a detailed breakdown of the craftsmanship behind VFX recording, the video provides an intimate look at the dedicated efforts of the Gun team to evoke the authentic spirit of their source material, down to every last rev.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is an asymmetric multiplayer horror title authentic to the world of the iconic 1974 film. It will be launching in 2023 on Playstation4, Playstation5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, and the Microsoft Store, and will be launching into Game Pass on Xbox and PC.
