House of the Dead 1 Remake
- Thread starter BrawlMan
- Start date
Um, did you see the trailer? The voice acting is still terrible (and arguably rightly so).
Anyway, I like the new look of this. That said, I'd rather the other HotD games be released as well.
Sega lost the original source code for H1 in the early 2000s. That's;s why it was never included in the Wii. From the trailer, they seem to have decent-bad voice acting. The original in voice acting in 1 was bad, but it was typical average bad. 2 on the other hand is legendary in its badness. 3, 4 ,& Overkill have good to great voice. With 3 & 4 getting some cool and bad ass lines from the heroes, and the Goldman video logs/flashbacks. 5/Scarlet Dawn went back to the "bad" voice acting, but feels very meh.

Agreed. Since 3 & 4 will be removed from PSN (PS3) in a couple of months. It's not hard to port any of these two games on Switch/PS4/PC.
I thought it seemed fine in the trailer.
Probably the reason I never actually beat 3 and just replay 2 whenever I put the disc in.
I recommend 3. It's still a great HOTHD game. My personal favorites are 2 & 4. Do note that 4 and 5 are prequels to 3. The third game is the final game in the timeline.

It's kind of crazy how asynchronous the HotD release order is with its in-universe timeline.
I mean, for shits and giggles, I went and checked. Release order goes HotD 1>2>Zombie Revenge>3>4>Overkill>Scarlet Dawn, whereas here's the in-universe timeline:
Overkill (1991)
House of the Dead (1998)
House of the Dead 2 (2000)
House of the Dead 4 (2003)
Scarlet Dawn (2006)
House of the Dead 3 (2019)
Metal Gear, eat your heart out.
(Disclaimer: Yes, I'm well aware that HotD has never really given a damn about story or continuity, but screw it, some of us can't turn our brains off Sega!)
Street Fighter suffered the same thing, though I barely had a problem with the then-new characters in III. IV & V are prequels to the third SF entry, and Capcom has finally dug themselves out of that hole. Hopefully with VI, they can go beyond constantly referencing/nostalgia baiting II and the main focus goes back to the characters in III (Not counting Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, and Akuma).

The voice acting still seems bad, but let's face it shitty voice acting will never be as good or special as Goldman on House of the Dead 2 was, that was just on another level, like why would anyone pronounce and enunciate "To protect the life cycle" like that? I have no idea, my only assumption is that they must have hired an Alien that normally communicates telepathically and had no idea how verbal communication worked and was trying desperately to figure it out during the audio recordings for the game.
But anyways no character more appropriately named than Goldman because he's pure gold.

This should have been made during the Wii-U era, so I could have still used my Wii-Mote with my Gun attachment, Don't know how you can replicate this game with the joy-cons.
I was supposed to get one, but kept forgetting and lost interests. If I heard the rumors correctly, the game is getting its own gun peripherals.This should have been made during the Wii-U era, so I could have still used my Wii-Mote with my Gun attachment, Don't know how you can replicate this game with the joy-cons.
I googled around and there are some third party guns apparently, but I agree it'd be real weird if they don't sell guns and some special boxset for idiots like me that eat this stuff up.

Maybe they'll do it with cardboard!This should have been made during the Wii-U era, so I could have still used my Wii-Mote with my Gun attachment, Don't know how you can replicate this game with the joy-cons.
Did great in Japan; failed everywhere else.That's silly. What gaming company would make cardboard peripherals?!
...oh. Oh. Right. Yeah, that was a thing.
