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

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.

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

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

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.
Post by: Smash_Brother on November 22, 2007, 05:50:12 AM
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.

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.
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.

Graphics, I don't see what people are fussing about, looks about the same to me. I don't expect it to look exactly the same anyway, afterall in the case of HoTD3 it is being converted from nVidia shader model 1 to Wii's TEV units. From what I understand it actually runs 60fps like it's supposed to, though that could be attributed to not having the physics engine that GS used.

I really want this game, but with Brawl, I just don't have the time yet. I'm sure it'll still be around in a couple weeks when I can actually enjoy it.
Yeah, weeks...Good luck with that.

I don't know what developers are think when they release a game so close to Smash Bros. But if we don't continue to support 3rd parties even with Smash out it might push them away from Nintendo again.
I'm going to be picking it up if we still have a copy at the store.
Come on people Support 3rd Parties!!!!
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on March 14, 2008, 01:53:05 PM
with Smash Bros. out, 3rd parties won't hesitate to abandon ship. If fact, even 1st party titles other than Smash will drop off with a thud.

Third parties support themselves, damn I miss the days crap like this didn't matter.
what was different that made that not possible now? Just competition? I'm authentically curious.
Post by: Kairon on March 14, 2008, 07:45:33 PM
If people are planing to get it they should buy it even if they know their not going to get to it for a bit.

I'm right there with you CapAmerica! Supoort third parties!
Actually, despite my very drastic cuts in my third-party budget, I've still got a very full third-party dance card for this month. It sorta pains me that I can't bring myself to buy this tasty tasty $30 treat, but in the month of March I'm already committed to multiple third party games, including Okami and FF:CC RoF.

Kairon you do know that Okami comes out in April right? HOD came in the mail today and its pretty cool, I tried it with the Zapper and Wii remote and both function well but I like using the Zapper for the light gun feel (I can't justify myself to buy the Nyko lightgun since 15 bucks is too much for it). The calibration is awesome if you were wondering.
Yeah, believe me, House of the Dead 2 & 3 are right at the top of my "Wish I could buy list." But I've got my budget mapped out till the end of June and I really can't afford this game if I'm going to do the other stuff that I want to do in that time.
But... maybe I can convince my younger brother to buy the game. I bought Ghost Squad, maybe he'll reciprocate by purchasing this one for the two of us.

There's a problem with that, Cap. This is NWR we are talking about. Most people here would prefer their teeth pulled by a 4 year old using a rusty hammer than play a third party game on the Wii, no matter how fantastic it is... :P

You can always go cheapassgamer mode and wait till the 3rd party games get cheaper and then snatch those games then. I got Ghost Squad when it was 19.99 on Amazon. It will help out your budget in the long run. And plus I think you usually go buyer happy on games so maybe its a good time to sift through that backlog that you potentially built up :).

You could also sign up for Amazon Associates and then earn free credits to buy games latter on, that's the only way I spend money on Amazon. You do have a blog or something that people read don't you?
No, I hates the internet.
Seriously though, I'll figure out a way to buy this game. Just uh... I'll have to think laterally a bit. Like begging my brother.

What's important is Paradise Mode replaced the enemy models, on top of themed environment textures and objects. Commendable effort for a "special edition".

They don't have to be zombies. Just chix in lame halloween costumes.

Tru dat...
I'm more annoyed at the lack of House of the Dead 1 in the collection. I know Sega said that the game looks severely dated by today's standards, but its perhaps the rarest game in the series. I've played both HotD 1 and 2, but I missed the first one completely.
