I thought Zoe Mode was the Crush developers? I hope they haven't been shuffled to party games, that'd suck.Cosmonaut X said:

WOW, who'd of thought I'd acutually be pumped for an upcoming Wii release (an action game no less. I'm am a House of the Dead fanatic. I can't wait for this. My wife is even a fan of the series. Schlock shooters for the win!!

Okay, will the game include a pixel-perfect port of HOTD1 as an unlockable bonus? I need to get Sega's attention over this...

You're right that they were behind Crush, but I think it was their last game as Kuju Brighton (it was released just after the rebranding to Zoe Mode) and their website now puts the emphasis heavily on social and music games. As for the new name:
While I wouldn't rule out more Crush, or more Crush-style games, I think the rebranding & their involvement in the development of Rock Revolution, makes it clear that the studio has a more casual focus now.

I'm not sure what else that comment could mean besides Dual Wiimote support. If that's the case, + 1 sales probably.

What the hell is with Sega lately? I mean, first they announce something like Madworld for the Wii, now we're getting a new House of the Dead!
They're becoming a pretty damn good publisher in comparison to just about everyone else.
Now if they could only get their Sonic games down.

Calling out Capcom like that... ::whistles::

Not actually that important
wow just wow, I'm so buying this.
So glad they're going with this Grindhouse flavour, so perfect.
Wii is becoming the zombies' console of choice.
(House of the Dead 2&3 Return, HotD: Overkill, Re:4 Wii Ed., Re: UC, Dead Rising:TYD...)

HotD Wii, Valkyria Chronicles, MadWorld, etc.
I just from now on get interested in anything that's not Sonic :lol
oh wow i didn't even notice that he said that :lolRocketDarkness said:
it dont matter though this game has replaced DR:Wii on my want list so is you are reading this: dont fuck it up guys.
Capcom, Sega, and MMV says my love for eastern games is still well justified.
S-E get your act together.

I love the satirical retro movie style, but I'm not totally enthused to play a rail shooter.

So you're not totally enthused to be playing a House of the Dead game, then. What were you hoping for?bigmakstudios said:

Square-Enix is absolutely amazing on the DS front. I really fucking love The World Ends with You, and FFIV has been great so far (never played any previous versions of the game before). Though if you're speaking strictly consoles, I can understandThrei said:

Well, I was never really hoping for a House of the Dead game, as you said. But, I do like the "intentionally unintentional" humor, despite that, which is all I really meant to say. I like it, but I'm not sure if I'd be interested in playing the game itself.

Ah. Well, I have to be honest, I'm glad it's HotD and still a rail-shooter, because I'm not sure much else is SEGA's speed anymore.bigmakstudios said:

Okay, then that's totally understandable. What have they done on consoles so far? The only ones that come to mind for the Wii are DQSwords and Chocobo Dungeon, and I can't think of anything on the other two consoles...other than FFXIII, but that's still a ways into the future...Threi said:

I love zombies, rail shooters and the Wii. Looks awesome.
So if this game sells really well, how will it be ruled out of counting as a successful third-party title?

I bolded the franchises that I would associate prominently with the DC personally, although a few others had DC installments.
Wii:
HotD 2+3 Returns
Samba de Amigo
Nights 2
Sega Bass Fishing
Alien Syndrome 2
Super Monkey Ball BB
Ghost Squad
Sega Superstars
Sonic
Next Gen:
Sega Rally Revo
Sonic
Sega Superstars
Rez XBLA
VF
Virtua Tennis
... and a few abandoned Dreamcast IPs:
Blue Stinger
Chu Chu Rocket
Cosmic Smash
Crazy Taxi
Daytona
Headhunter
Jet Set Radio
Outrigger
Seaman
Segagaga
Sega GT
Skies
Space Channel 5
They have a bunch of other abandoned IPs, but I those are the most Dreamcasty IPs for me mentally.
It was a funny trailer, and I like the pulp aspect of it, but I agree with Alcibiades when I say that this isn't what I think of at all in terms of a hardcore third party game. It looks like just another lightgun House of the Dead game. I was hoping for something with a lot more depth, like maybe RE4 with an HOTD take(still disappointed about Umbrella Chronicles).
Personally, I think further lightgun efforts like this should be kept strictly on WiiWare or very budget priced retail. Oh well, the great thing is that between Fall '08 and Spring '09, for once there are third-party games worth writing home about.
