Feels like someone found out Halloween exists and is an IP that can be milked.
While yes, it does sound like that, if Carpenter and the movie producers are involved the odds of it being a decent game and not just a reskinned cash grab are higher.
I can't wait for the knife skin microtransactions. For only $9.99, your knife can be pink!
Look, I love John Carpenter, but he hasn't made a good flick in literally over 15 years.
Vampires, Ghosts of Mars, and The Ward, his last three films, were literally garbage.
Like I love watching bad movies and laughing at them but those three are so fucking bad they aren't on my "so bad it's good" lists.
Escape from LA was the last halfway decent film he helmed and that was 1996.
I don't have a lot of faith he will bring much to the table.
That is a reasonable take, although Vampires is on my so bad it is good list.
They found that out decades ago. Hell there was even an Halloween game on the Atari 2600 lol
