Suffer like G did.

 

[SeraphJan]

The graphic looks abysmal

 

[jaysius]

Playing this with a normal controller is fucking retarded.

 

[ChiefDada]

"To protect the lifecycle!"

Xbox only? Yeah, I'm totally not jealous at all

Suffer like G did.

Lol, don't forgot the question mark.

 

[March Climber]

The graphic looks abysmal

Isn't it from the same team that did the Panzer Dragoon 1 remake?

 

[onnextflix5]

without a gun or gyro it's pointless lol

 

[Apocryphon]

Hard fucking pass

Should have just made a VR game. Releasing this on consoles to be played with a controller isn't going to do any better.

 

[Skifi28]

What an odd game to have as exclusive.

 

[The Pleasure]

The graphic looks abysmal

That's the g that suffered.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

I'm not playing a light gun shooter without a light gun. It sucked playing HotD2 on a Dreamcast pad, this will suck with an Xbox pad.

I got the gun accessory for my ps move. Made house of the dead overkill lit.

Series consoles only?
It's a shame they're not bringing it to Xbox One S/X. I bet you could rig up some way to play a lightgun shooter with Kinect.

This is the Series S/X release. It came out on the PS4, XB1, Switch and PC earlier this year.

Playing a light gun game with a controller does suck.

Kudos to the dev!

 

[TexMex]

While a light gun is better of course, I gotta say I played countless hours of House of the Dead on Dreamcast with a controller and loved it.

The issue with this game isn't the controller it's that it's terrible.

 

[bender]

Bought it on Switch, sadly.

 

[MAtgS]

Never did I think I'd live to see the day where I was wishing for a Kinect mode but lo and behold.

 

[Futaleufu]

Bought it on Switch, sadly.

 

[bender]

The Switch isn't the problem. The game is pants.

 

[SkylineRKR]

I am a fan of HOTD and still have 3 and 4 on PS3 but this remake is pants with gun or not.

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

original voice acting?

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Pointless without a light gun, I'd rather sew my balls to the couch.

Suffer like G did.

I already suffered worst than G did playing their panzer Dragoon remake.

 

[SegaManAU]

Yeah, got this on Switch. Turned it off after 5 mins. Fucking terrible.

 

[abstract alien]

Assuming it turned out good, does anyone think House of the Dead could work as a traditional horror title, or even a more action oriented one like the original Dead Space that still centers around guns? It's a complete departure from the original, but the light gun style game in general is a very dated design concept at this point outside of a literal arcade unit that you play in passing.

 

[MiguelItUp]

The graphic looks abysmal

I think saying "abysmal" is a bit much IMO. It's not some power house of a studio. Regardless, it's a remake, and it looks better than the original. Which is all people that are interested would want.

I would love something like that, but I don't know if Sega has it in them these days to take a chance on a game like that.

Rise of Nightmares felt very much like what you're describing, but the game never took off. Unfortunately, it was stuck on one console and required the Kinect. Great game IMO and one that I consider a hidden gem on the X360. If you haven't played it, it's worth your time if you have the means to play it.

Yeah. What's the point?

 

[schaft0620]

This is the same shit that came out on Switch last year.

 

[Nickolaidas]

Suffer like G did.

Go, CaaAArl!

 

[oldergamer]

Should be able to use a mouse

 

[Nickolaidas]

Just bought it and Panzer Dragoon remake on Steam.

It's so fucking fun. It was like I was 25 years younger and was playing HotD2 on my Dreamcast.

 

[tusharngf]

with mouse this will be insane i dont think i will use controller for this one.

 

[Fat Frog]

This is the same shit that came out on Switch last year.

With enhanced graphics like the PC version, i guess(not just higher resolution) :
