New House of the Dead game coming to Wii

[Press_Start]

Dubbed "Overkill" coming 2009. Not what I expected when shelling out thirty bucks for HotD 2&3.

Black magic? Strippers? Have these guys ever played any previous HotD before? "Misplaced" is the only word that comes to my mind.

Dashes my hopes for the 4th installment on the Wii.

It looks great to me!

Actually, upon viewing that, it looks like they were going for the same old school chop shop movie vibes that Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez did with their double feature a while back.

I liked it, and I'm sure the dancers aren't actually in the game.

[Nitrosport]

It looks like it's going to be good.

[SegaAges]

Hmm, I hope the gameplay is good (kinda hard to mess up a rail lightgun game). The story was never that great either, but then again, it is a rail lightgun game.

[scooterb23]

That looks like fun. I'll be keeping an eye out for it.

This game looks freaking amazing. I will definitely buy this game when it's released and I hope that it has all the extra little edits (dancers, film distortion, etc) and such to make it look like an old campy film. We need more of that type of style and art direction in new games today. Hopefully some game in this style will come out for the ps3.

Yes, just like an old Grindhouse movie. Loved the trailer. Looks very promising. The should throw in a "SEGA!" at the end.

Looks great!

That video looked totally awesome! Loved the whole b-movie vibe it oozes off, I'm definitly picking this up at day one. (Like I do with all Sega games, hehe )

This game isn't actually produced by Sega though, right?

[CosmicMonkey]

There was me expecting a Wii version of the new cell shaded HotD EX.

True, Sega is just publisher on this one, it's Headstrong Games that's producing this.

Wow, that looks fantastic! I love the gritty aesthetic, it definitely looks like a step in the right direction for a series that was getting a little too bright and glossy for its own good.

Also, small touches like being able to see the weapon in your hands when you reload, is nice and should serve well to help with the immersion factor.

I'm impressed.

Wow. Nice Grindhouse trailer rip-off. At least Tarantino's and Rodriquez's homage to old 70's B-movies was original. This "trailer" uses zero imagination. It's a direct copy of their movies/trailers for Grindhouse. Weak. I guess "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery".

You're claiming Tarintino's work as being original? The guy hasn't done much original work in his directing career - he's possibly the most unoriginal director of all-time.

But yes, you are right about this trailer being a rip-off. I'm not sure why Sega decided to let a big name series be produced another production team, and even worse, a non-Japanese production team.

Grindhouse was hardly original. Bigger budget and more mainstream, but not original by a long shot. Nor was the faux exploitation trailer idea.

That said, I don't know how I feel about this. I'm one of those people who really enjoys the series as it is and doesn't need a whole lot of new or groundbreaking. I'm probably in the minority though. Color me cautiously hopeful about this one.

[DKTheArcadeRat]

I think it looks really good. It might be the first Wii game that I will buy in a long while. I rarely play my Wii but there are now a few games coming out that I am definitely picking up, and this is one of them.

[koster]

The trailer looks good, although for certain people, this game won't be "the hardcore you've been waiting for..."

[Damaramu]

Haha, I loved this trailer.
