Ixamyakxim: I see - thanks. Your description is perfect for how I feel RE: the likelihood of a Sega game showing up here. Basically a perfect "maybe" - could it? Yes. Is it likely? Not a no, not a yes.
Also - I've NEVER watched a full SAW movie! About the only one I've watched was two guys in what looked like an old tiled gym. I hear this one has a perfect "twist" of an ending - I just haven't ever been able to watch one all the way through - or for more than about 30 minutes at a time. The guy in the one I watched for about 15 minutes or so had "AS YOU WISH!" from Princess Bride in it (Cary Ellwes - spelling?).
I remember watching Hostel and telling myself I'd be pissed if I left the theatre and it was another torture porn flick - it was another torture porn flick. I'm glad that genre fell out of fashion. Despite that, I've still always regretted, just a bit, missing the wonderful twist or two from the Saw films.
Please no one spoil them... just in case!!! ;)
Sega is one of those companies that I'd put in the same category as Square-Enix - they used to make good decisions at least some of the time, but these days? Not so much.
That would be the first one. Watched it a while ago.
Like I said, something that makes them endure to me is that they at least try to have a plot.
And not just a simple plot, but a larger one that goes well beyond the usual "hey look, it's a slasher movie, sit back and watch halfwitted teenagers get butchered by the invincible guy".
As for the Hostel thing, I wouldn't put it in the same category as the Saw movies because they actually have that plot.
There's violence and blood, of course, but there's a reason for it.
Hostel, on the other hand, was done by Eli Roth.
All anyone needs to know about Eli Roth is the movie Cabin Fever.
That set the tone for his career - idiotic dialogue, over the top violence in an attempt to get the "we're so edgy and extreme" award, characters you're begging to see get killed, the kind of crap you put on during a weekend when there's absolutely nothing else on because what the hell and still end up with a headache and a strong feeling that staring at a wall for two hours would've been a better use of your time.
Also, it bears mentioning that there's actual acting in the Saw movies. Some of it's good, some isn't, but at least people are trying to be more than obnoxious shitbags.
