Title: House of the Dead, baby, yeah!!
Post by: crackdude on January 05, 2012, 10:16:44 am
So, who's excited with House of the Dead 4 on the PS3.


God, I nearly choked to death when I read about it!

Very cool to see it getting a release, even if I don't own the console. I'll play it eventually. Brings me hope that we'll see more arcade titles! How about a Kinect/Move enabled Ollie King?

Didn't Ollie King use a skateboard? Activision tried something like that with Tony Hawk and failed comically lol




I have one concern with HotD4 though:
You know how you point out of the screen to reload, but actually you just fool the sensor by tapping it with your fingers?
How do you do that with a move controller? lol I'm ruined.

Ollie King did use a skateboard, but the movements were basic, and could easily be replicated by Kinect. I remember just leaning forward, back and left and right. Momentum was automatic, as the game operated on a downhill track. So no silly Tony Hawk ride stuff.

A skateboard itself probably wouldn't be needed, just stand sideways and lean to the funky beats.

I'm totally cool with HotD4 being on PS3 only, but I am peeved that a lightgun has yet to release for 360. Yeah, theres the hunting game one, but they could easily use Kinect + a gun. All the tech is there, they just aren't making it happen.

Awesome news loved the Arcade version of Pt 4 (and the music was ace too) How the likes of Let's Go Jungle come swiftly after

I'm so excited they're finally releasing this  ;D.

The HotD4 machine at my local theater's been busted for years, so I really can't wait to download this one.

Right now to play House of the Dead 4 I have to travel about 35km. And it costs nearly what you'd call "dollar fitty" per game.


Worth it though. Can't wait to play it at home.

Still not sure if I want a move, if they announce all the Virtua Cops though... I'll finally break down and get a Move!

If there is one thing I like about motion controls (And I do dislike motion controls, I should stress) its that they have brought life back to rail shooters.

Right now for me to go play Afterburner Climax, Outrun 2, The House of the Dead 4, Let's Go Jungle, Rambo, Ghost Squad and Harley Davidson. I only have to travel 3 miles. Jealous bro?!?

Agreed. I've got 6 light gun shooters on the Wii alone. It's nice to see them finally starting to release HD ones on the PS3.

Yes.

Hey, that reminds me, I'll be hitting London round April. Any cool tips on places to entertain oneself?

I wonder Sega is going to do a developer diary for both games. And I am a little too happy that 4 is coming out to PSN, for that I have to upload more rare HotD stuff to you guys. I have the Japanese Sega Saturn guide that has never before seen pictures and interviews of the first game. Just need help with the translations.

London is a really big place man, very big, you would have to tell me what area you be touching down. North? South? West? East? Even central?

Obviously central London has the most places to go, but best you tell me where you would be arriving!

I guess this means OVERKILL did well on the PS3 for them to take this step. Wonder if Special will make it..

OLLIE KING will never be ported due to copyright legal issues.

I think I'll be staying in Enfield, that's North right? But I can get around by bus, or by car.

I gotta be honest that I never played HOTD4 more than one coin. Yeah i'm a gready mofo.

Nah but seriously, I just wanted to give it 1 life to get a quick impression but I died rather quick.

Very happy this is coming out.

That is the North, but I cannot help you with any good sights there, sorry!

If you come to Docklands or Richmond though, I'd be happy to let you know of any great sites!

Now if they could release Virtua Cop 3 on PSN, which is imo the best SEGA lightgun game made to date.
Also that Operation G.H.O.S.T. looks really tasty, I would really love to see a PSN port for that as well. To support this notion I will buy HOTD3 as well even if I don't really care for it.

But you can leave that awful turret shooter series Let's Go Jungle in the arcades, don't waste any time on it.

You could post it on your news section, just lift the image from our site and the intro paragraph, and have "read more" after the intro linking to here: http://segabits.com/blog/2011/09/16/the-weekly-five-rise-of-nightmares-x-the-house-of-the-dead/#more-16646

Not as of yet, maybe after 3 becomes available on PSN. I do hope for two developer diaries for 3 and 4.

Why would they make a developer diary for a download title? That doesn't make sense unless it was a packaged game.

Probably because of the fact that its cheap to get it out there and not do any real promos to get the title marketed. Weve had dozens DL games from SOJ and i don't think they've done a dev diary for a download title. Besides that was obviously done to keep nagoshi in the public eye since he's the new (dare i say it) Yu Suzuki (sic). But then again the PSN HOTD games are not really from SOJ so who knows.

Original mode?
Title: Re: House of the Dead, baby, yeah!!
Post by: Kori-Maru on February 04, 2012, 03:39:56 pm
Most likely time attack mode and extreme mode. Also hopefully Sega doesn't forget about The House of the Dead 4 SPECIAL as a extra mode.
Title: Re: House of the Dead, baby, yeah!!
Post by: ROJM on February 07, 2012, 05:09:46 am
HOTD SPECIAL is considered to be its own game so i can't see it becoming an "extra mode".
Title: Re: House of the Dead, baby, yeah!!

Yeah but with two levels. I can possible see it as DLC.

Yes but i dunno if they would add it with the HOTD4 one, if they were wise they could but i have a feeling they may want to release it as part of a package title like Return.

I just played III last night. It's a modified PC port like Sonic Adventure with 60 fps. You unlock a interview similar to Sonic CD and Daytona USA dev diary, but it's a bit boring. My only problem is that you can't change your controller settings with you PS3 controller like changing the R1 button to X to shoot. It's still some good ol fashion House of the Dead by the Japanese. Just the way I like it.

I'm still here, only reason I look on this forum at all.

Hopefully people will buy this thing, and get SEGA worked up for porting Virtua Cop 3 (and Operation G.H.O.S.T. which looks nice, but I haven't played it yet, or 2Spicy, I haven't played that one as well, but it looksl ike a fun game). But first off, I'm gonna enjoy the hell out of HOTD4, been waiting a long time for it (but VC3 is my all time favorite lightgun game).
