Alternate fan account dedicated to the horror rail shooter arcade cult classic, The House of the Dead series. Formerly a countdown to the release of the remake of HOTD2. I’ll also post some other gaming stuff here.

Loving how throughout October I see more House of the Dead content. Tomorrow starts a whole drought of content again. And no, the HOTD2 remake doesn’t count lol

It’s Halloween here, and on this day…Lisa and G raided the remains of the EFI building to save Rogan. They learned of the existence of Daniel Curien, Dr. Curien’s son. It also marks the final death of Dr. Curien.

Day 296: "Tragedy" - The House of the Dead #houseofthedead #sega

The perfect atmosphere setter for one of the greatest Arcade shooters of all time, those guitars and that backbeat set up an awesome, and spooky, tone for blasting zombie heads to.

That's right it's #Spooktober, so what better way to kick it off than to "Suffer Like G Did!?" Time for a (what feels like mandatory at this point for SEGA fans) viewing of Uwe's Boll's "masterpiece," #HOUSEOFTHEDEAD! Suffer with us!

Someone posted this in the Wiki of the Dead discord. This perfectly describes my plan on buying the remake.

( #sega please give a shit about your older IPs)

Back from the dead to unleash this horrible fancasting - a younger Melissa Joan Hart as Sophie? Would that be horrible?
I’m still insistent on Sheryl Lee as her, but made the connection after remembering Clarissa Explains It All all of a sudden

Review for The House of the Dead 2 on Dreamcast from Dreamcast Magazine 1 - September 1999 (UK)

This one reminded me that October has really snuck up on me this year.
I'm so excited for autumn to get here, it getting darker and watching some classic horror films […]

XBOX
- logo is a x in a ball
- not an actual 'box' more of a service/religion at present

PLAYSTATION
- not a network rail managed station
- 'play' implies games of which theres very few

DREAMCAST
- ah now we are talking
- it sure casted them
- 10/10 no objections

Somebody made a comparison of all creatures between the OG #houseofthedead2 and the remake.
I think this is the best part of the remake - they really nailed the creature designs. Sure, some are iffy but most are more menacing.

But what do I know? I’m a filthy casual who has a soft spot for this franchise. HOTD has the backbones (read - BACKBONES) for a good lore. Maybe in a different timeline it would, and have more installments. (And Gary would be the poster creature hunting pretty boy lol)
…care about any other IP except for Sonic, Persona, and Yakuza. One of them isn’t originally their IP! SEGA (or SEGA America or SEGA Amusements) could’ve done their research and said “no” instead of approving this mess. But business is business and they need lots of profit. HOTD isn’t profitable.
As much as yes, the blame goes to the developers, sound directors, etc., it looks like, again, they were put under crunch time from execs hoping to make a quick buck. Time and time again, it shows that rushed deadlines don’t make good games.
SEGA also deserves some blame here. It’s clear they don’t
A quick glimpse of what Forever Entertainment was dealing with foreshadows the 2nd remake’s state. In between HOTD1 remake and now, they were working on remaking the Front Mission series and maybe Panzer Dragoon Zwei in addition to HOTD2. That’s probably a lot for a small Polish indie dev studio.
There’s a lot to be said about #thotd2 remake, which I won’t add to because it’s all over YouTube. From SEGA fans to even streamers outside of arcade gaming, it’s being canned universally. It’s very sad as the series is iconic in its own way.
There’s something to be said about corpo mismanagement.
