Friday The 13th: The Game Ultimate Slasher Edition Is Getting A Physical Switch Release

Even as a collector this is a tough sell. Can this game be played solo? Because I doubt enough people will be playing this 4v1 game to get consistent matchmaking. Never mind that Dead By Daylight (which is a better game) is also coming to Switch physically.

I'll wait for DBD on switch .... preordered that already months ago. i have dbd on pc and xbox too - friday the 13th ...... i hear alot of complains about bugs and glitches on xbox. so i've never bought that. i may pick up the switch version for 10bucks ;P should drop in price fast hehe

@Magician Yes, it appears that there is a solo-play mode that pits you against AI.

This is literally a hide and seek video game.

I will never buy this for 40$ lol never

Can you play local wireless with friends. If so I might get it. Is there smaller maps if you're playing with less people?

@Magician

Solo allows you to play as Jason against a bunch of AI bots. They've tweaked the counselor AI enough that they can actually be surprisingly challenging, but they're still pretty dumb. I've had them surprise me a few times by doing intelligent things like calling the police and I've been REALLY surprised when they manage to escape the camp completely.

Still a pretty meh game overall though, as playing as Jason is typically the most boring way to play unless you REALLY want to be Jason. Playing as the counselor offers a more dynamic experience and that is impossible offline unless they've somehow patched in an AI Jason for the Switch release.

Despite the bugs/problems this game had during it's original release a few years back, i had a lot of fun with this game. This game really benefits from communicating with others so idk how well it will work on Switch with it's wonkey online chat. If this game doesn't have local/wireless play, I think that would be a real missed opportunity for the Switch version. I might pick it up again at $20 just to have a physical copy and try this one out.

@sixrings I haven't play this game in a while but it was updated a lot and they did add smaller maps to accommodate less players playing in matches.

@BacklogBlues I've read reviews from the game at launch and seen videos of the game a year later. They fixed a lot of issues with the game and it looks a lot more interesting now.

Sigh at people believing day one reviews for games and then not believing anyone else.

As you were you’ll never learn

@LuciferOnReddit @BacklogBlues The game was really rough at launch, but they worked a lot to fix glitches and exploits, made matchmaking smoother and faster, added new maps and characters, and even dedicated servers. Game was immensely improved as time passed.

Those low day 1 scores are no longer accurate. I expect the Switch version to get higher Metacritic scores, for those that take MC as gospel.

@nintendolie A "grown up" version.

If there was a legit solo campaign then I would have bought it

Better than the NES counterpart I would say.

They (game developers) should maybe focus more on releasing a "decent finished product" as this story of releasing any old rubbish and then fixing and updating over time seems lazy to me, there's almost no point then to these reviews. Perhaps other forms of entertainment could learn something here...The movie's ending wasn't well received, oh but it's been changed, u should see it now it's fantastic....

I played it on xbox with me against bots. I enjoyed it. to have this on the go is priceless. will get it day one for sure.

@BacklogBlues I've had it on the other consoles since launch. The launch was ruff. But massive improvements have been made. Just a shame that very few people now play it.

@Magician there is a single player campaign which was released last year. But tbh not had time to play it. Time at home is limited so the Switch version improves stuff as the portability.

This gets a physical release, but the RE games- which will outsell it- don't. Weird.

I played this once or twice before & it was fun. I think i’ll be picking this up on Switch

If you are a Friday the 13th fan, it’s a no brainer. This is a fun game with friends. Online play can suck because people suck. Offline playing as Jason can be fun too.

UK release? Probably not!

I had a ton of fun with this game when it came out on ps4. I even met a group of friends playing a few years ago and we still play F13 every now and then. With friends it was extremely entertaining. But without voice chat this game won't be nearly as fun.

@Magician Wait....Dead by daylight is coming to Switch?

If there is wireless play and a sale I'll pick up a few copies.

Is there a costume for the nes Jason?

@GameOtaku they could replace the campers with mario characters and make Jason waluigi

@sixrings
So no purple jumpsuit and light blue mask?

I played the game of PC its nothing special

@GameOtaku it was part of the base game so I'm sure its in this version. That's my Jason main since launch.

I play it often on XBONE purely to nab those last grindy achievements. Its fun if you lower your expectations and learn to get better at it, but a Switch version....even I will admit the game is glitchy on other systems.

Since no new content will ever arrive due to an ongoing lawsuit and concern the Switch version will be even glitch-ier, I'll wait till its bargain bin prices.

exciting and yeah its a popular game so l do understand why it has a high price but still its better off to get the game when its on sale.

Other than graphics my Xbox is strictly for getting third party games on sale. I have no idea why third party nintendo games need to be so expensive.

I am a big Friday 13th fan (the movies). I got this on PS4 and enjoyed it. It is a buggy and overly simple game that is completely reliant on online play. Since buying it, it was a PsPlus "free" game so most people who have a ps4 already have it if they want it and probably didn't even pay for it directly.

I cant see the game working well on switch because it is only suitable for play at home while connected to the internet. Also there cant be much of a market for it, seeing the only people who would buy this would be adult players who do not have a ps4 and don't mind it being an indoors only experience, with inferior graphics and no voicechat. If they wanted this game, it would be better on any other platform.

Another note, Ps4 gave this game away for "free" while on switch, we get NES games.

@BacklogBlues I honestly don't mind at all if "bad" games get physical releases so I don't know why you have to get all worked up about it.

$40 with all the DLC included is a steal and you could play it on the go......Or constipated on the toilet in your own home 😎.

In all seriousness, I played this on PS4 and Xbox and it’s so much fun. There’s always a drunk or extremely outgoing person on their mic making everyone laugh (like Dashie), and the Switch version has voice chat! Day 1 purchase for me.
