I wonder what NES Jason's strengths/weaknesses are. I really hope he isn't just a recolor for Part 3.

Oh god, I hope for NES Jason they don't use the "return to mommy" cutscene and just show the "YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS ARE DEAD" screen

Really he should +Morph, Shift, and Stalk and -run, swim, (not really sure for the last one) -grip even though it doesn't matter?

Hopefully I actually get red perks. Tired of getting common ones with what little currency I have.

YO! YOOOOOOOOOO!

I was just talking to a friend about how I wanted that Jason in this game. Amazing!

Everyone is going to use that Jason. I am never going to be able to not use that Jason.

Saw that news. Can't wait for that skin. Sadly I'll be out of town for WrestleCircus this weekend so no double XP for me. Still that track and skin are more then enough awesomeness. Counselor clothes are gravy. Brings me back to my childhood right there.

You could have Jason X and the Jason in that movie BEFORE he became a cyborg.

The movie before Jason X was Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, and that Jason is in the game (Part 9). The Part 9 Jason in the game honestly doesn't look as hideous as Part 9 Jason looks in the movie, though. Movie Part 9 Jason is grotesque as hell

NES Jason should have a bonus to counselor fear and a 'holy shit, is that a dead body?' style stun when indoors to replicate the pants-shitting terror he induced when he popped up out of nowhere in cabins in the NES game.

I mean this Jason:

I think he means the Jason that was in Jason X that was frozen before he became Uber-Jason.
 
Thank you, all of that makes sense.

if you would be so kind, I have another question. Maybe this will get clearer once I play as Jason, but in one game, I was using AJ and in stealth hiding behind a rock watching Jason walk by. He was facing the opposite direction then he teleported right behind me and killed me nearly instantly.

So how did he see me? AJ has the highest stealth rating and I wasn't moving. Do I still show up on the mini map? I'm almost 100% certain he couldn't see me at all. I wish you could spectate Jason.

Sorry I know, dumb new player questionbut I'm trying to get a handle on whether to run or hide when I see him, because typically either way I'm fucked. Only escaped him once, yesterday.

There really is no true "stealth" in this game. The longer the game goes just the higher chance Jason has to see you with his Sense since it becomes more potent(longer range, less fear to show up). It also doesn't help that every single experienced Jason is just constantly toggling it every 5 seconds to see if they spot a red blip on their screen.

Having played it recently I'd go with

Plus:
Destruction. Easy gets into cabins
Swim. Swims faster than the canoe
Morph. Appears suddenly

Minus:
Shift he's not very fast
Stun. Rocks
HP. Rocks

Are the Steam achievements easy to get? I've watched this game being played for hours and it looks so interesting that I just might buy it Thursday from the summer sale.

I almost never use stalk, just doesn't seem all that good.

What really!, thats an ability i use all the time, it awesome for when you know councilors are in a cabin and activate it and they think you've moved on but really your waiting but the window to grab them

The Free content is much appreciated but i would rather of had them fix the crashing issue on the XB1 version first

Yep, I think it's a great ability. Counselors usually never see you coming if you activate it at a good spot.

That wasn't Jason though...i would rather they put his mother in it

Part 5 was the one who wasn't Jason. Part 4 is Jason but he looks pretty indistinguishable from Part 3.

Also I'm pretty sure Pamela Vorhees was a kickstarter goal, so I imagine she'll get in eventually
 
This basically means Jason X is the only Jason not in the game yet since FvJ Jason and Reboot Jason are off the table

They confirmed they can't use Reboot or FvJ Jasons? Why not part 5? Part 4 could be done as a slight different version as well. But yes as already mentioned Jason X would be two different Jason's.

If they are willing to do Pamela, then the whole "not Jason" thing shouldn't matter

Realistically these are the additional killers I could see being added into the game

-- Part 4 Jason
-- Part 10 Jason
-- Part 10 Uber Jason
-- Pamela Vorhees

Since NES Jason looks like he's using the Part 3 model, I guess it's not out of the realm of possibility for them to also re-purpose that model for a Part 4 Jason as well. I don't see Part 5 happening since it's not a member of the Vorhees family. Honestly I'd rather see them try to talk to the rights holders of FvJ Jason and Reboot Jason some more than bother with Part 4 or 5 Jason

They would have to pay money to get the other jason's they don't have. They can use part 5 for essentially free. Who do you think they would be more inclined to add?

Also they have very limited amount of resources to work with, if they need to release new content to the game, they are gonna reach into every resource they can. Not doing part 5 Jason is them just leaving money on the table.

I have a hunch that given how (apparently) well the game has sold, and the money they could potentially make on some other DLC Jasons, they might have a little more leverage for getting the two Jasons they don't have rights to currently. I just don't see Part 5 Jason happening because he's not actually Jason Vorhees.

If I had to implement a Part 5 Jason, what I might do is make a Part 5 Jason a Jason that's more customize-able compared to the others. Like, since he's technically just another person, you could pick three "strengths" for that Jason just like you would a counselor. But the weaknesses you get are based on the strengths you pick. Or alternatively make a Part 5 Jason that doesn't get some of the supernatural abilities of a proper Jason
 
It's sad that I won't ever get my favorite version of Jason though. Which FvJ Jason, I absolutely love that look completely. I've also grown to like Reboot Jason as well.. I hope some day we can get them.

I'm also waiting for the day Uber Jason pops up. That's going to be awesome, haha

Retro Jason is fucking brilliant. This is a good start.

Can't wait to see what new maps they have in store for us eventually.

I'm hoping we get the boat from Part 8 and maybe the space ship from Part 10. I'm not sure how those maps would work with the normal mechanics of the game though (like calling the cops, for example)

I would like a part 5 "jason" part 5 is great, could make a new part 5 map too

Party 5 is pretty bad and was lazy as hell when it came to kills. The best parts are with the black kid, maybe put him in, but grown up a bit as a counselor. The nudity was pretty on point too.


Cool free update, too bad you can't queue up as Jason still. Zero point in playing solo as a counselor. It's chillin until then or some major balance changes.

I'd totally go for a Roy Burns Jason. He's still a hockey masked killer from a F13th film that killed 20+ people. He also tanked a tractor running into him, and chainsaw hits. Give him a road flare kill too.

Part 5 is great and the kills were heavily censored. Some of them were so gruesome they had to be reshot instead of just cut. Plus it's got Tommy Jarvis as a kung fu headcase. What's not to love?
