Agent_Karyo, do games w John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando Launches March 12, 2026 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S

I wonder how much input Carpenter had into this game (beyond providing his name).

That being said I don’t doubt that the motifs of the games are inspired by Carpenter’s movies, I am just wondering his level of involvement.

How did they even get Carpenter to partake in this? Sabre Interactive is recognizable name, but it’s no EA.

async_amuro,

He is a big gamer, so the chances are than some other older directors

Agent_Karyo,

Did not know about that! Then I could see him being involved.

IIRC, he was actively involved with the development of The Thing for PS2, also. And that is a pretty damn good game for being an older, AA, film tie-in game.

markz,

they even get Carpenter to partake in this?

Maybe it was the other way

VerilyFemme,

Carpenter has done most of his soundtracks and is currently in a band. So, I’d imagine that he’ll contribute to the OST.

I hope they used practical effects in this game. That’s where his work really shines in my opinion.

Toxic Commando. 🤦‍♂️

I was over here wondering why John Carpenter was even involved with this because my mind kept swapping commando for Avenger which is an entirely different franchise.

philophilsaurus,

I thought they were related until I saw this comment 😬

Ooo, I’m excited! Their SH2 remake was very good minus typical UE5 problems. Their new original IP game Cronos that just came out was an outstanding survival horror, which had UE5 problems as well, but for me its overall performance was better. Here’s hoping they learn even more how to correctly use the engine.

For anyone who’s a fan of Resident Evil, Silent Hill, or Dead Space, you should definitely try out their new game Cronos: The New Dawn. The story alone absolutely hooked me, and I was fully invested to finish the game to learn wtf was happening.

tanisnikana,

I’ll check it out! I survived SH2, I can do this too!

Be nice if it runs on a steam deck, I have fond memories of the original silent hill.

Maybe 'fond ’ isn’t the right word, but you know what I mean.
