I think the original arcade version still holds up pretty well. The low-poly models have a creepiness to them. Given how rushed the Saturn version was, it's nice to get a good home port finally. I hope they can include an emulated version of the arcade version (although they didn't for the Panzer remake, so this is unlikely)

Visually doesn't look like the first game at all.
Seems to have those axe-wielding guys from the sequel too, so might be a mishmash of elements from different installments rather than a remake of the first one.
Nonetheless, it's nice to have HOTD come back from obscurity.

Can you use a joy-con's gyro to emulate a lightgun? If so this is a definite buy for me. I was just playing typing of the dead overkill a few weeks ago and it's about time we got something new for the series.

This is really cool, definitely on my radar.
Though I will say whatever that blip sound is, is EXTREMELY distracting. I think it's when their score was going up? Christ, it's so loud in the mix, lmao.

I wonder how using the joycon as a light gun will work? You guys think it will be accurate? I miss light gun games, although there are some fun ones in VR.

Took me totally by surprise. Loved these games back in the day. Cool!
Oh yeah joycons are fine for point and shoot. This will be perfect.

That's pretty cool, really hope it uses the same OST but obviously rerecorded.
I have the Japanese Saturn version, actually played through it the other month. Really fun game. I wonder if this will make a dent in the NA Saturn version price. It goes for like hundreds of dollars (it ain't worth it, lol).

Can someone please explain how lightguns work on the Switch.
Does the system have a motion bar or something?
I know next to nothing about the Switch console - but I do plan on getting one when/if the Pro version comes out.

Looks cool, also looks like they've toned down some of the saturation issues PD Remake had. I personally wouldn't of mind a port of Scarlet Dawn (which remains arcade/FEC-exclusive), but this is neat as well.
Hopefully it gets a PC release at some point, too, like the PD Remake release did.
IMO this actually hits the original's art style much closer than the PD Remake did for the original Panzer. They've gotten a lot better and it gives me hope they'll be very close art style-wise for Zwei and (potentially) PD Saga.
Speaking of a Saga remake I'm interested in seeing how the Azel Resurrection project shapes up because the concept art so far is great.

Doesn't look good to me. I'm not wanting anything special either, but I didn't feel the thing that HotD holds. Maybe in the final version tho

How do you shoot for something like this? I don't get it

Gyroscope in the joycons.
Maybe a third party will have a plastic gun shell ready?
The way the pointer was moving in the OP's video looked like they where controlling it with an analogue stick though.

Is there still a market for rail shooters?
The were so popular back in the days because of few factors:
1. Top graphics on the market, everyone wanted to see the next best looking game - this is not the case here, game looks avarage
2. Amazing arcade cabinets or really cool home console guns - sorry but joycons don't make the cut
3. There was really no other way to have good fps shooting mechanics back then - when the 3d fps games started taking off, they wiped out rail shooters off the market
Plus that games were really short - I dont believe people still would like to pay for a game in which main story line ends under 60 minutes.

One of the Joycons has an IR sensor, i hope it somehow can emulate a lightgun. The gyro in the joycon it's pretty bad and even using the DS4 gyro was less than ideal in games like this.

My man. VR really gives lightgun games a new home; 'Rush of Blood' on PSVR is still one of my all-time favourite VR experiences.

HotD Overkill on PS3 was the best home console release of a HotD game ever. It supported Playstation Move and even 3D and ran at 60 fps.

What time is it?
House of the Dead features some of the greatest story telling and voice cast in modern video games.
