Wanting More Characters and Maps?

"Friendly reminder. We have the interactive rights to the 1974 film. We can't put characters or locations in from other [Texas Chain Saw] films because we don't have those rights," Keltner explained. "Demanding we add them is not how Hollywood works. Licensing in general is usually a total mess."

Consequently, Keltner suggests that if players are serious about getting their favourite Texas Chain Saw Massacre characters into the game, they need to be petitioning Hollywood, not the development studio.

"My advice to you: Get hyped for what's there. Tell everyone you know. Post on social, retweet, and discuss the game," Keltner added. "In my experience, Hollywood reacts to buzz, not demands."

The devs have the creative freedom to make original content for Characters and Maps

The Sawyer Family has hundreds of cousins and siblings

And thats PERFECT, the first movie is the real, genuine and original masterpiece, and the only one considered canon.

Yeah but the house and family in the early 2000's reboots were disturbingly amazing! That house was 10 different kinds of creepy and R. Lee Ermey literally killed it in his role. I want them all from all the movies

what killers would they add in sequels though? more bubbas? i agree this game will die if no new content added but as they said they cant make anything else for this game since they only have licence for the first movie.

why not just make original characters though based on the tropes found in those movies. they did that with f13

NES Jason is the best Jason.

More than likely that is what they will do for the victims. Future maps could be ideas off the town etc.. And family, they got a bit to work with. They will probably make different versions of them like they did with Jason, so they have different abilities.

There are 3 maps on launch, 5 Family members, and 5 Victims.

During the test we got to enjoy the Family Household, and The Slaughterhouse map, as well as Leatherface, Cook, and Hitchhiker for Family Side.
For Victims, we got to enjoy Connie, Ana, Sonny, and Leland.

The map we did not get to play was Gas Station, and the missing Family were Sissy and Johnny.
The missing Victim was the one who was slaughtered at the beginning of every match, Julie.

In the full game, whichever Victim is not selected for play is the one who gets Slaughtered in the intro.
Potentially there may also be more intro animations that can play based on the current Leatherface player's choice in loadout, but that is unconfirmed.

As you said, they have full creative liberty to make more maps, victims, and family members, as well as unique execution animations for each family member.

For the maps, it's also important to note that both maps in the test specified what time of day it was. For the Household, it was Dawn. For the Slaughterhouse it was Day. Potentially maps may have several variations, such as Household Day, Household Night, Slaughterhouse Dawn, Slaughterhouse Night, etc.

TCM2 is a masterpiece in its own right.

Same director and writer as the first film. I consider it canon. The characters and locations in that one would lend themselves to the game quite well too.

We just want Grandpa to be an optional slot in case we are too lazy to actually play.
