That trailer doesn't tell you much. But at least it has a single player mode.

Yes it was more like a teaser.

Dr. Loomis’ voice over seemed off, but it’s the best they can do without the real Donald Pleasance.

I can't wait for this. Nick Castle (who played the original Michael Myers and uh, who I share a birthday with) does mocap for this, the remainig mocap is down by Kane Hodder.

I'm excited for this, but at the same time I don't know if it can be as good as Friday the 13th. Mike doesn't have the really creative kills that Jason does, which is part of what made that game so fun. Also I'm not sure the setting will work as well either, neighborhood vs campground. But we'll see, hopefully they pull it off.

The developers really got screwed by the lawsuit on F13th. They’ve gone above and beyond with Texas Chainsaw Massacre though, so I have high hopes for this.

I think they addressed this well with whatever is fast motion movement is called and is stalking mode. They also showed some cool kills in the newest trailer.
