Oh we definitely need new lightgun tech. Can't believe this isn't a thing already.

House the Dead is on rails and VR would mean some serious gameplay redesign.

I own HotD on Switch. It isn’t bad. Definitely worth getting, probably on sale.
I played these games whenever I could. Bowling alleys, arcades, restaurants, and etc. I never owned the Dreamcast version, which I should have. I did get HotD3 and 4 on PSN back on PS3. I wonder if you can still buy them? I’d like to play more Scarlet Dawn, but you have to go to Dave & Busters to play it.

I should have said I'd be getting it on PS5. Looks about £20 new from Amazon, and they seem to sell for that second hand on Ebay, so could always have some fun with it over Halloween and then sell it on and get my money back.

It's definitely worth it if you have PS Move.

I loved the first game back in the but I don’t think I’d enjoy these games nowadays. Though it depends on production values of course.

Played it on switch and PS5. Both great and brought me back to my childhood.

Pixaleted texture on thotd 2. How it's possible? I remember this glitch on Dreamcast and I was thinking that the problem was the console itself with less memory than naomi

Its only worth it if you have a lightgun.
HOTD3 and 4 sadly only worked with the Move on PS3, which was more fun than mouse or controller but worse than a lightgun. I never bought HOTD1 for PS5 because I don't want to deal with Moves again.

I feel like Sega should've ported these games to VR already.
Namco Time Crisis & Point Blank too
And Elemental Gearbolt
all of them

Odd thing about House of the Dead 2, it’s the only Dreamcast game I’ve seen that doesn’t have texture filtering, at least on the stages anyway

I played the remake... And it's fine. Doesn't have the charm like the original, or even the weight, but the guys that made tried
You can see as soon the game starts, when the original a doctor has a picture with his arm, but it happens so fast that you can't really see the picture, and only a few understood when this picture is showed by the end of the each stage when shows how many doctors you saved. In the remake, you can see your character getting the picture and really making sense why you did that. It was a nice touch
Still, the enemies look too much gelo like. Even the bosses. It's annoying

HOTD:Overkill off a flash drive had multiple issues for me sadly, you dont have issues? I think asset loading from disk was somehow hard coded in to the game and the game breaks when stuff loads to quick. I finished it multiple times from disk, but my Wii's drive has now died sadly. Not sure if dolphin has a better time with it.

The remake wasn't great imo OP,i played it on switch and felt a bit meh,the last great house of the dead was I think 4 in the arcades.
I don't think you can replicate the feeling of the gun in your hand and standing in the arcade.thats what they have always been about.playing at home is ok but not quite the same as the thrill of the arcade.
Dark escape 4d is actually amazing,if I had 10 grand I would buy it for my house for me and family members/friends.its terrifying

I used an external hard drive and everything seemed fine. Beat the game without issues.

The remake is superb, albeit easy without the light-gun setup. But still, you'll see it on sale for around $10-$15 nowadays, so get at it when you can.
IIRC they're going to remaster the other games too, but am too lazy to google it myself.
