Without lightguns, I just don't see the point.

 

[KillstealWolf]

Time to Suffer like G did?

Tell me we are getting Typing of the Dead alongside 2 as well.

With VR and the right controllers, you could get a similar feeling, no?

someone get Uwe Boll on the phone to make movie tie-ins

I suppose but the light fun feedback was always what made it fun to play. Controller is pointless, as is gyro aiming. Maybe a VR version would be an interesting idea but they probably have a million zombie games already. Maybe they have a VR version of players standing in an Hots arcade cabinet with guns instead.

This is the Lrife cycle.

What the hell? Give them to me now!

 

[LabRat]

really want to know which platforms this will release on

 

[Bigkrev]

While House of the Dead 2 is relatively available- it got arcade perfect big physical releases on Dreamcast, and it was bundled with House of the Dead 3 on the Original Xbox and Wii, House of the Dead 1 got a late life Saturn port that was pretty low quality and super expensive, and a 20 year old PC port. Having HOTD1 available again would be wonderful!

Oh gotcha. I forgot there was some feedback to light guns. I was thinking plop on a PSVR with some move controllers and would at least kinda feel similar

 

[komaruR]

probably switch with its (1/)2 controller

Same here, need a light gun for this 100% or no go on my end. While at it, gimme Time Crisis.

 

[Mr.Deadshot]

If it's not VR I am not interested.
It's such a no-brainer to port all these old Lightgun games to VR, but no ...

 

[Mengetsu]

Maximilian DOOD!

 

[Aaron D.]

Typing of the Dead or go home.

 

[ghostcrew]

Absolutely pointless without proper light guns I feel. Dragging a cursor around on a screen with a mouse/Move controller/Joycon would be a pale imitation.

I'm I adore HOTD but this sounds like a bad idea.

The only way this could be good would be proper Touch/Vive/Index version in VR. Actually, I'd take that. It's the closest thing we have to light guns and the only thing that really matches the feel.

[Grimmy11]

Gimme a Sega Arcade VR experience where I can walk round a virtual Sega Arcade playing their old classics using the Move controller for Light Gun games.

 

[sibarraz]

If they don't bring over the original VA's they may as well don't bother

 

[LetalisAmare]

Give me VR. Pleeeeeease.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Switch joycons have that IR pointer.

 

[Dukie85]

I can play HOTD all day, no matter what game it is. I'd buy these day 1. Makes me wanna pull out Ol' Reliable and fire up HOTD 2 now.

Yeah. With the state of displays and controllers, it really is pointless to re-release these unless they're made for VR.

Computer mice make for decent alternatives~

Also DONT YOU DARE CHANGE THE DUB AND DIALOGS SEGA
ALSO GIVE SEGA CONSOLE BACKPACKS VIEWABLE IN CUTSCENES

 

[verygooster]

Do Overkill too

 

[Fatoy]

Dogs of the AMS. Time they made a move.

The PS3 House of the Dead games supported the Moves, which was cool.

Wow, this was out of nowhere. I'll definitely keep my eyes on this.

Switch version will be the bomb!

 

[salromano]

Click to shrink...

Switch for sure, given it's Forever Entertainment. Probably everything else too, but they'll take a million days to confirm it. (For example, they have said Panzer Dragoon isn't exclusive to Switch, but refuse to officially say if it's also coming to PS4, Xbox One, or PC.)

 

[Silky]

This might be a true testament to see if HD Rumble is worth a damn, but without Lightguns...ehhhhhh

 

[KainXVIII]

Perfect for mouse.

 

[sinonobu]

Typing of the Dead sequel when

I really enjoyed all those Sega light gun collections in the Wii. Hint hint.

I don't remember the Saturn or Dreamcast guns having any feedback, Virtua Cop and House of the Dead were still great on those systems. Did the Namco PS lightgun have feedback even? I remember it having that side button for TimeCrisis, but that's about it.

A VR version would still be great tbh, the closest the PSVR has to anything like those old stand up cabinets so far (in my experience) is Until Dawn and Blood and Truth. B&T suffers with too much dialogue in between action for my liking.

 

[MadMod]

If they're not VR they may as well cancel the project now.

 

[Deleted member 18823]

Will it come out on arcades?

 

[msdstc]

yessssss.

I actually just got my hands on a HOTD T cabinet for only a few hundred dollars. Working on my 1 credit run.

 

[pagrab]

Part of me hopes for a remake for Oculus Quest, but I will probably be disappointed to learn that they are doing it for the Switch.

 

[Yunyo]

Interesting. It might just be pointer-based shooting this time around though.

 

[LiK]

INCLUDE TYPING OF THE DEAD

There were tons of lightgun shooters on Move and the Wii. It was never the same feeling as with a real lightgun, but it was good enough to have a lot of fun with the games. My favourite was Deadstorm Pirates. So much fun!

I think I own almost all of them across Wii and PS3. It's nagging me that we don't get more pure lightgun-shooters in VR tbh. So much potential.

 

[Mutedpenguin]

I'd certainly buy a PSVR version.

Listen to this dude Sega.

 

[shadowman16]

I wonder if 2 will be redubbed and get a new script. As its... memorable to say the least. And honestly, I'd ratherr not play it any other way. Hopefully its on Switch/PS4 with move support (HOTD 3, 4 and Overkill on PS3 were perfectly playable with Move, I really enjoyed them).
And if nothing else, getting a proper arcade port (or better) after all these years will be something great for me, as it plays fun on the Saturn but looks terrible (and having it in 60FPS would be a huge plus gameplay wise).

 

[Z-Beat]

Are these gonna adapt the Time Crisis-style weapon system in the current House of the Dead game?

As much as I'd love this, they already recast Goldman for House of the Dead 4

 

[Deleted member 34949]

I'd be down. The only way to play HoTD 1 these days outside of happening across a cabinet is the Saturn and PC versions, both of which aren't ideal ports and kinda tricky to procure on top of needing to have a CRT.
