Been wondering, is the fire crackers a thing from one of the movies? Or a game thing. Don't recall him ever being "stunned" or stop due to them.

It's not. Flare gun nor Pocketknife either. But they had to do something to give Counselors a running chance.

I watched 1-4 over the last week and I'm pretty sure that at one point I saw a penknife that looked exactly the same as the one in game. Might have been in 2.

I can't describe the amount of pure fun this game is. There are so many moments that cause excitement, laughter and horror all at the same time.

I would love to play with some gaffers. Might cut down on the griefers

Has anyone else encountered a glitch where a counsellor is hiding in the cupboard but it doesn't give you the option of killing him inside It? It's happened in a couple games I've been in
Click to expand...

Yeah, I've had it happen to me and seen it with others. When it's me, I just come out, because Jason earned the kill. Others, not so much, they just stay in there the whole time while Jason swings away.

I received the 'I Died A Lot' achievement on Steam, which means I have now died to Jason 100 times. Out of curiosity I looked up how many matches I've played as counselors through the achievements, and that's 153. So playing as counselors I escape 1 out of 3 times basically. I'm okay with that. There are some minor tweaks to balance I can see, but nothing drastic. Escaping 1 out of 3 matches feels like where it should be. I hope they keep that.

Yep. Had a guy stay in there for 10 minutes as the last counselor while we just sat there waiting.

Is there a lock on for throwing knives as Jason? Trying to chase someone having to stop to pull out the knife, aim correctly, etc and the whole time the councilor is getting further away....

What's the situation with this selling/deleting perks thing that's stickied on the steam forums? Is it that widespread of an issue where I should avoid playing till it's fixed? Has anyone on Gaf been affected?
Click to expand...

I just want to reask this here. Seems like a big issue, but I've not seen anyone else affected by it, at least on GAF.

I've not played in like 3 days for fear of losing my perks, but I'm about to just say fuck it because the weekend is coming up.

It takes a while, but once you get used to it you'll be able to toss knives like nobody's business.

Damn son, Friday the 13th hit number 2 for May, despite being out for 5 days that month.

No wonder the servers got hammered.

Well the devs did say they came close to tripling their sales expectations.

and honestly good for them, server issues and all that aside, it's nice seeing non-AAA games succeed like this. If this ever hits PS+ it might see a small-scale Rocket League type of explosion

Haven't almost all of the Friday the 13th movies made a profit?
Click to expand...

All have. Worst revenue from Friday 5: A New Beginning. Which was supposed to be the beginning of a new trilogy with Tommy J as the killer but it sucked so hard they scrapped it. Which led to Friday 6 having the tagline Jason Lives.

With the tentative title Friday the 13th: Part 13 on the front cover, Guzikowksi’s aborted script begins at Camp Crystal Lake in 1977. Two young camp counselors, Jeff and Sandra (an homage to the characters from Part 2, but not the same characters) are murdered in the opening sequence by a killer wearing a sack mask. The young lovers climb atop the camp’s fire lookout tower; the masked man slashes Jeff’s Achilles tendons while he’s scaling the ladder, sending him plummeting to his death, and from the very top of the tower, he also tosses Sandra to her death.

The masked killer, it’s pretty safe to assume, is none other than Jason Voorhees, as he looks much the same way Jason did in Friday the 13th: Part 2. But we soon find out this is actually Elias Voorhees, Jason’s father. Yes, the new film was to essentially present Elias as the original Jason Voorhees.

The first 40-or-so minutes of the new Friday the 13th were going to delve into the backstory of the Voorhees family, providing us with our first ever meeting with ole Elias; the character has popped up in comic books, but never in the movies. The script simply describes Elias, the camp’s park ranger, as a “large man,” and he claims five victims throughout the first half of the film. Elias is then himself killed by camp cook Pamela Voorhees, who is sent into a violent rage in the years after her beloved son goes missing – it doesn’t help that Elias was cheating on Pamela.

As for young Jason, he’s written as a sympathetic character who wears a white medical mask to cover his hideously deformed face. A new addition to the mythology, Jason is also fed by his mother through a feeding tube. He’s sixteen years old in 1977, and as you’d probably expect, the other kids at camp ruthlessly pick on him. Eventually, their torment leads to his “death.”

The film was set to slightly reimagine Jason’s drowning. In this version of events, the older counselors, tripping on acid, take him along with them on a boat adventure; armed with a Super 8 camera, they cruelly unmask Jason and capture it all on film. Running away, Jason attempts to swim from a nearby island back to his home at Crystal Lake, but of course, he drowns.

I'm happy it was cancelled based on that.

This is actually incorrect. Elias Voorhees was supposed to be in Jason 6, and is actually in the novelization. He's the one that paid for Pamela and Jason's graves and still pays Martin, the caretaker killed in 6, to maintain them.

Also forgot to mention that Jason sees his mother get killed and becomes the killer for the last 30 minutes.


Also, if anyone hasn't seen the Crystal Lake Memories documentary, I highly recommend it. Although fair warning, it's loooooong but goes into a lot of detail.

Also, the movie script that Nick Antosca wrote seemed alot better then the one that was rolled into production and inevitably cancelled.

We don't care about Jason's father in the movie. Hollywood can't get it right. Give the budget to an indie filmmaker and watch them do something better then big studios would dream of.

I rewatched that recently and, even though I've seen it many times before, I was struck by how little footage of Manhattan is included. It's IN THE TITLE!

I do believe the only scene in Manhattan that was actually filmed in Manhattan is Jason busting the boombox in Times Square. Everywhere else was LA and Vancouver.

So for those who played both this one and Dead by daylight is there one that is clerly better than the other ?

For all their similarities, I find them to be pretty different. DBD is faster paced and thus I prefer the slower paced nature and increased tension of F13. The Friday the 13th license also plays a huge part as I have far more attachment to that brand than I do the generic killers, Michael Myers excluded, in DBD.

Yeah I wish Jason Takes Manhattan actually took place in Manhattan and not the final 10 minutes. The potential of Jason rampaging through an early 90's NYC is huge.

Yeah it happened to me when I was Jason of course. I also saw it happen when I was spectating. I also saw a Tommy Jarvis climb up a wall in the main cabin of Higgins Haven (I believe), but Jason was able to kill him thanks to the throwing knives.

Glad someone else read that script. I would have loved to see that on the screen.

How does playing with friends work? A friend and my nephew might be getting the game this weekend. Obviously not enough for a full game, can we do quick pay together? Would like to try Private games but would need to invite a few people.

Even the few scenes we got in busy areas exposed the weakness of the idea: Jason seems to want to kill everyone...but he walks by a shitload of potential victims in Manhattan to go after the final girl and her man. So he doesn't want to kill everyone?

Wish I would have thought of this the other day. Some guy was pissed because I killed him saying that I tunneled in on him, so I played an accurate Jason then. Funny thing is I did leave him alone morphed somewhere else then came back later and killed him because I found him again.
