nov, 16th House of Dead 2 & 3 to Wii
Lol i used the submit news feature, and they still didn't put it up. Anyhow, if any of you missed this news. Here it is.
Not big news, but cool. The more light gun games the better. Even if this will end up just being a port, its a port of a game I didn't play
HOTD3

Definitely good news. It would be nice if they tossed in the original HotD for good measure. Not sure why it wasn't on the Xbox version to begin with anyway...

The only issue I take with this is that these games pale in comparison to REUC.

Maybe if this is a proper lightgun shooter which has you calibrate and aim with no cursor, I can dig this. Otherwise, I don't see a point.

I know this is a matter of preference, but for me RE UC is different enough that it doesn't ruin the arcade shooter experience.

RE UC is slower. It forces you to aim better, think fast and survive. In fact, I might even go as far as to say that RE UC is NOT a real on rails shooter. Just a first person, RE game which happens to be on rails.

Arcade shooters are a lot like pop corn flicks; just leave your brain at the door and have fun shooting everything that pops up.

Instabuy. I love these games. I hate paying in quarters.

You're the reason the civilians who pop up shout "DON'T SHOOT!"

[racism]I'm a Puertorican! You put a gun in my hand, even a toy one, and EVERYTHING will get blow to pieces...[/racism]

*NOTE: pap64 doesn't approve of Puertorican stereotypes, its all a joke to show people how ignorant racism can be.

Graphics don't look too great, hopefully it's just early. I'm expecting the Wii HOtD3 to look at LEAST as good as the Xbox version. On a side note, I played House of the Dead 4 at Univeral Studios a few months ago, and it was freakin' awesome.

Kairon · « **Reply #9 on:** November 21, 2007, 06:38:50 PM »

I don't expect Sega to improve the graphics AT ALL.

The sad thing is that even though it is more on rails, it has more variety then Killer7 could ever dream of!

RE UC is an on-rails shooter. That's reality, so quit trying to fool people.

Variety is still zero, people are just positively biased toward RE zombies, which explains why RE1 thru Outbreak 2, minus RE4, got so much attention from audiences who're used to playing cheap-thrill minimum effort games with artificial difficulty and flashy graphical rewards.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #13 on:** November 22, 2007, 05:50:12 AM »

I have nothing against Killer7, but REUC is probably the best "pointer skill" game on the Wii to date.

Just don't dislike the game because someone who likes it ragged on K7.

As for HOTD, I'll rent it, Ghost Squad, and any other lightgun games which show up, but I've learned buying them isn't always a good idea.

Kairon · « **Reply #14 on:** January 06, 2008, 04:14:29 PM »

I want it!

Smoke39 · « **Reply #15 on:** January 06, 2008, 09:36:16 PM »

Omgz me too. UC is too slow and boring and irritating for me.

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #16 on:** January 06, 2008, 10:37:18 PM »

Seems like this is just a straight up port of the Xbox HotD 2 & 3 collection.. ah if only Sega weren't such lazy sods and included Typing of the Dead. =3 BUT I WILL BUY THIS ANYWAY OH GOD LIGHT GUN GAMES GIVE THEM ALL TO ME. Maybe Sega will also port the PS2 Virtua Cop collection!

Ghisy · « **Reply #17 on:** January 07, 2008, 07:19:50 AM »

I wonder if they will sell only the bundle with the Wii Zapper.
I already have it, if I buy the game, I want the game only and not the whole bundle.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #18 on:** January 07, 2008, 07:50:28 AM »

Looks pretty good, nice and fluid. Hopefully you can disable the aiming reticule like you can in Ghost Squad. I'm gonna be balls deep in that game when it comes out.

Oh come ON! You say that as if the HotD series is a fair, balanced and NOT CHEAP game :p .

Smoke39 · « **Reply #20 on:** January 07, 2008, 05:43:42 PM »

UC has other junk besides the whacky difficulty that bugs me. And on top of that, if Ghost Squad is any indication, HotD 2&3 will have unlimited continues. :b

jakeOSX · « **Reply #21 on:** January 09, 2008, 01:11:54 AM »

i bought UC... and then returned it. only thing that happened as i played is it made me want to play RE0 again.

and i think i've already given enough of my money on HotD games. it would have been cheeper to just buy the damn arcade.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #22 on:** January 09, 2008, 02:45:30 AM »

RE:UC the first HARDCORE game for the Wii, CONFIRMED!

I'm not really interested in playing it but I can't help wanting this as part of my "arcade light gun" collection, especially since I've got a Wii gun shell coming in the mail.

Now if Confidential Mission could make the jump.
