The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Fixes Stutters, Adds Key Rebinding and Removes Crossplay on PC

In the pantheon of horror movies Tobe Hooper’s 1974 The Texas Chain Saw Massacre stands as a true classic, continuing to terrify audiences nearly 50 years since its premiere. The unfortunate fate of a group of unlucky travellers at the hands of a family of rural cannibals has inspired generations of horror fans and film-makers alike, with main antagonist Leatherface becoming a cultural icon. It is therefore no surprise that the Chainsaw Massacre has been featured in the world of gaming, although generally only as an influence or cameo such as Leatherface’s appearance in Mortal Kombat. There was an amazing Atari 2600 title released in 1984, but Gun Interactive’s new take on the movie is a very different beast, and one that makes the most of modern graphical fidelity and some over-familiar gaming techniques to offer an experience that is clearly a love letter to the film and its legacy.

An asteroid, given the designation of Asteroid 2023 SZ, is on its way towards Earth and could make its closest approach to the planet today, September 25. It is just one of the 1298148 asteroids that have been discovered by space agencies so far. NASA, with the help of its advanced space and ground-based telescopes, tracked the asteroid and shed light on details such as its speed, distance of approach, and more.

Did you know that an asteroid struck Earth this year? While it wasn't a planet killer that wiped out entire species like another space rock did about 65 million years ago, this one did hit the surface. As per NASA, a meteorite turned into an atmospheric fireball on February 15 and crashed near McAllen, Texas. Law enforcement agencies in the McAllen region received several calls from residents who reported hearing a loud explosion. It was a 1000-pound rock that was 2 feet in diameter as it broke into pieces about 21 miles above Earth's surface.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a third-person asymmetrical multiplayer horror title from Gun Interactive and Sumo Digital Nottingham. Based on the true story and iconic 1974 movie of the same name, you’ll take on the role of one of the Slaughter Family or one of their victims in three versus four multiplayer matchups. Similar in style to Dead by Daylight and Friday the 13th: The Game, victims are tasked with trying to escape whilst the Family are tasked with brutally murdering all four of them before they can make their getaway.

We’ve previously shared some tips on how to survive the Slaughter Family‘s attempts at catching victims in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, so now we’re about to share some tips on how to make Johnny a better killer in an attempt to even the odds — just kidding, Johnny will become rather overpowered and Victim players will hate us for it.
