Anyone aching for a new House of The Dead

[MadeManG74]

I just took exception to the fact that cube thinks he is a 'true' HOTD fan but everyone else isn't.

Having said that I don't think I'm a true HOTD fan nerd either, since I only have 1, 2 and OK.

[cube_b3]

Yeah I really like HOTD, it brought people together.

I remember going over to a friends place to see HOTD on his PC, we usually used to ride our cycles when we met up but HOTD just made us slaves of the pc, it was an amazing experience.

HOTD2 brought the same magic this time, people came over to my place to check the Dreamcast out. Then I showed people Zombie Revenge which had a gameplay setting called "Bare Knuckles" this was the closest to Streets of Rage 4 we've ever gotten... good times.

HOTD3 never came to the Dreamcast , I had to travel to an Arcade in Canada to beat the game, me and my brother cumulatively spent 40$ (over 2 days) unfortunately we couldn't beat the final boss.

I've been dying to play HOTD4, ever since it came out. I bought HOTD3 on the Wii but it wasn't the same as playing it in Arcades or a SEGA system so I didn't play it much.

I got OverKill and while initially amusing the Over "Fuck" just made us sick, and no one wanted to play the damn game.

I would really like to spend some quality time with HOTD3 some day. I thought it was an awesome game in the Arcades, branching pathways that could be selected from the Menu was a new addition to the series - I don't know if 4 offers it, so to me it is the only game that does that.

Why do you feel 3 isn't that good?

Also Sanus Zombie Revenge isn't HOTD, it is a spin off and not part of the main series. Next you'll say you like OverKIll over Pin Ball of the Dead?

[Sega Uranus]

The Pinball of the Dead is one of my favorites in the series, honestly. I like how weird stuff like The Typing of the Dead and The English of the Dead are. This all are hilariously silly concepts that remain enjoyable throughout. It is a hard series to dislike.

Also you played the first game on PC wtf ur not a fan if u playd it on a pc

You played it on PC?

[loempiavreter]

Well technically speaking, pc version is closer to the arcade version minus the lightgun...

Saturn version is gimped unfortunately, still my only means to play (with lightgun) this game since the arcade cab hasn't gone down in price like other lightgun games of that era did

And don't be hating on Zombie Revenge, it is amazing, and probably the only reason why my Dreamcast is still running regularly now (next to Cannon Spike maybe).

This game is amazingly fine tuned, you have to make use of every secret the game has to offer, as you can see these 2 1cc (no continue run) the game on very hard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psPgJilNbdU

Sure the graphics haven't aged well and the textures suck (graphics smaphics... art direction above graphics). But the game is a right challenge that is fair, an extensive movelist, a well thought fighting system, 3 characters, a huge arsenal of weapons, mucho bosses. It is the best game on Dreamcast that hasn't been ported to other consoles (while being an arcade port of course, but it's the only home port).

I do think that you need an Arcade Stick to enjoy Zombie Revenge since dreamcast pad kinda sucks for it.

HOTD 4 has the same branching setup as 3.

You played it on PC?

Where else could I play it?

The Saturn was a still born console and retailers here had stopped investing in SEGA products.

Arcades didn't have HOTD.

I was lucky that I still played one of the best games of the Saturn while it was still HOT.

So what you guys are no longer in love with Over Kill?

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1275
George thinks OverKill is better then HOTD3
Sanus thinkg OK is better then most games in the series.

Sure alot of people disagree with them, so me saying minority perhaps wasn't accurate but we have a strong demographic that prefers OK over WOW Works.

Again, one game in the main series.... doesn't mean I love Overkill more than the first, second and fourth game..

So technically you are bitter and wrong. Stop spouting facts and learn to take opinions. You haven't even played Overkill, so why should anyone here even bother to care about your opinion?

No, there is good and there is evil. You've crossed over to the other side Cube, you're no longer one of us. Take your things and leave, now, while you still can.

I need to play the first game again. They use to have it at my local mall until someone bought the arcade machine. I wish Sega of Japan put something out of there sleeves to bring out their House of the Dead games.

A remake would be nice, I like how they remade Chapter 5 from HotD2 into 4. [youtube:204g5zbu]YijEXr93qCM[/youtube:204g5zbu]

Speaking of HotD4, have you guys gotten a chance to play the Special version?

[SOUP]

@Kori-Maru:
The only version near me is the original version of 4.

[loempiavreter]

Played it at Sega Joypolis in Odaiba, Tokyo. Mostly recycled stuff (it was pretty neat though to feel wind blowing in your back as if Justice is breathing in your neck and the carriage turns around too the second screen on your back and you see Justice).

I've played every HOTD game except for EX. Plus the Konami knock off Hell Night/Evil Night (which is pretty neat, 3 players, 2 handguns, one shotgun long before HOTDIII).

First time I'm seeing HOTD4 in action and....

...it's been quite a few years. 5 to be specific and it has aged I'd still like to play it though.

I didn't feel the rush that I got while playing the first 2 games, the 3rd games Bosses weren't scary and I was playing it in the crowded Arcades.

What really bothered me was the music... is it just me, or it sucks?

[CrazyT]

Wow I remember playing that for a moment bet died real quick. Now that is what I want on my console

The music is allright I think, gotta see some more of it

Played it a couple times with a group of freinds, but I personally hate those Special attractions to games that Sega insist on making. Not surprised why they're not rushing five since the original creator left Sega after the third game and technically the fifth game is meant to be the final part of the series.
