According to the scriptwriter of the upcoming Saw videogame, he is writing the script as though it was a cinematic release. The creator and chief scriptwriter of the original Saw masterpiece has been brought on to write the plot for the videogame as well and apparently he is looking forward to the new challenge at hand.
James Wan, who also happened to be the executive producer for the original and Saw III as well and this to say on his MySpace blog. “[Co-writer] Leigh and I are very excited about this new venture. We are big gaming fans and we think it would a great opportunity to continue the SAW legacy into a different platform/medium. Keeps things fresh for us anyway. A lot of people have asked us if we would be interested in writing another SAW movie...well, we are writing another SAW story...but it's for the game."
The fact that Wan is also a huge gaming fan may help transform this adaptation into something even mildly respectable. Something that is unheard of with movie to game adaptations.
“We're treating this story like the SAW movies with lots of twists and turns. We have no idea how that is going to apply to a computer game format, considering that most games are generally pretty simple in it's plotting. Maybe its a good thing that Leigh and I are naive to the video game world and that we're writing it like its a movie!”
The title is expected to release sometime in 2009, so it may be some time until we get a further update on the title.

Never saw the movies... Get it?!!? Hahahaha.... umm... yeah...
I wonder about the gameplay. Are you the victim trying to get out of a trap? Are you the badguy building traps (which would be insanely fun)? Or, are you the detective trying to solve the Jigsaw-Puzzle murders?
I want to see how this plays out
After the hilarity that was Saw 4, a statement like "we're treating it the same as the movies" doesn't exactly fill me with confidence
@ MrFenwick terrible joke. And a saw game? how lame can that be? the movies all blow anyways. Same ending same stupid traps its not original at all, SAW 1 was the only good one
i don't think it will be the same as the movies.....the movies are disturbing because u feel its real, but a game its not real maybe it can frighten u but never as the movies.......i think that they would have to use a very advance motion capture to get at least just a little more like the movies like people screaming in agony and stuff........that's proof that videogames are a long way to go to reach realism
I hope there would be multiple endings. like hundreds of different endings. cuz then this game would be boring.
u know something that will make the game kool like a machine such as the one on the 3rd that twists and stuff and to break out u will have to press buttons really fast to get out......or i don't know make it like minigames or somethin......uuuuummmm just that u know i don't like SAW
Im actually looking forward to this.. three movie-to-game ones that sound really interesting: Saw, Sin City and Iron Man. The Incredible Hulk might turn out alright as well.. I know the movie will with Edward Norton in it :)
@kadmium
Those were exactly my thoughts as soon as I read the headline
While I saw Saw IV which wasn't that great, a video game could be good. Every year new engines and technology appears making games more realistic by yearly. It seems that the better graphics a horror game has the scarier and for Saw this could be good. I'll look into this game in the future....
I'd like to be the first in welcoming them to the Manhunt Committee, where Democrats runs their mouths and spew lies.
Normally the games of the films are never good. But saw it as a great film, I will wait and see ...
Nice,but it's not what the script writer writes,it's how the dev presents it.
who knows it might have3 players to chosse from the victem the cop and jigsaws trainie i am looking forward to see how this is going to look
