In an exclusive interview, Gun Interactive executives revealed major insights on the upcoming game. When the devs were asked about their plans to come up with additional offline bots for Texas Chain Saw Massacre, the makers gave an interesting response. “We did not consider offline bots for this title. We learned a lot from Friday the 13th and the time that is required to make a feature like that. Believable bots in games are incredibly time-consuming and difficult to do well. This would have cut our main game features back dramatically, thus impacting the overall experience we wanted to create”, they briefed.

Gun Interactive fans might remember the offline bot feature from the widely popular virtual cabin on Friday the 13th. But there’s no denying the fact that the title had to face a lot of glitches due to the feature. The game was highly criticized by gaming fans for its compromises made for an offline bot. No surprises, with such potential in the game, it couldn’t match up to the expected numbers. The makers thus have emphasized a better overall gaming experience this time.
