If you were hoping to see Kane Hodder doing his thing once again as Leatherface in Gun Interactive’s upcoming Texas Chain Saw Massacre, the devs have just the thing. Gun Interactive has released a brand new behind-the-scenes video showing off Texas Chain Saw Massacre‘s mocap sessions, which just so happens to start off with Hodder (jokingly) saying that he will kill someone on film.
The video doesn’t focus entirely on Hodder, mind you. We have appearances by Kristina Klebe (who plays Family member Sissy in the Texas Chain Saw Massacre), Dove Meir (who is doing the mocap for Family member Johnny), Hunter Smith, Sean Whalen, Troy Burgess and Scout Taylor-Compton chatting it up about the motion capture process. “That’s the beauty of motion capture,” explains Smith. “You can set up an environment anywhere, you layer out the space, and then it’s your play world.”
Gun Creative Director Ronnie Hobbs describes the whole process as “organized chaos”, with having to get the multiple animations per shot (of which there are a lot). “Really, what we’re looking for throughout this whole entire session is ‘Do they look like they would if they were in the film?’, and really that’s what we’re trying to capture.”
“The other people that are doing motion capture are a number of very experienced motion capture actors, so that helps just knowing the process,” says Hodder, who also serves as Stunt Coordinator for the game. “Because it’s a whole different deal than just shooting film.”
Gun states that this is the first in a series of behind the scenes content for the game, which is set for release later this year for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam.
