Support NeoGAF

Might as well just mute it since that's how it'd sound censored.

Nah, it would be just a constant beep. Like "You *BEEEEEEEEEP* and those *BEEEEEEEP* zombies can go *BEEEEEEEEEP* , mother*BEEEEEEP*"

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

God I love this game.

Had it on Wii and Ps3. Couldn't inverse mouse for HoTD but I got used to it.

Typing is bloody stressful.

 

[Stumpokapow]

So pumped about this. Still have the original Typing of the Dead on PC (and would buy it again on Steam, if they made it available), but love having a new Steam version to go forward with. Downloaded, but haven't had time to play it, yet. Considering this is based on Overkill, hoping there's an option to disable cussing, though...

There is no toggle that I can find in options to disable swearing, although you could mute dialogue volume independently of music/sound effects volume. To some extent it's going to be unavoidable, though--Overkill is a very crass game in subject matter independent of the language.

 

[Minister of the Dog]

I had 0'30€ on my Steam wallet. It must be a sign for me to buy this.

I can't wait to connect my wiimote, I hope they somehow add local multiplayer support.

 

[MLH]

Can anyone confirm there's a British English option/version?

Yep, UK English is the default dictionary for me.

 

[Stop It]

Nah, it would be just a constant beep. Like "You *BEEEEEEEEEP* and those *BEEEEEEEP* zombies can go *BEEEEEEEEEP* , mother*BEEEEEEP*"

Which, while hilarious in its own way, would miss half the fun.

Anyway, tried the first mission, got to the boss, then died. Got some decent combos (And 2 achievements for Goregasm streaks) but struggled near the end.

I used to be able to touch type, although I'm not terribly good now, I feel this game is going to help me type again

 

[SparkleMotion]

Does anyone know if A is the maximum rating you can get on a level, or does it go up to something like an S rating?

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

YES!!

Ever since owning Overkill on Wii I wondered why there was no typing mode!

Bought and downloaded!


Thank you SEGA!!

Have you got a USB sensor bar?
I'm starting to think I should get me one of those..

 

[scitek]

How does the game run?

 

[sn00zer]

It is hilarious that this game launched as a Typing of the Dead sequel instead of an Overkill PC port, they've basically put the actual game in as just a feature

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Teknopathetic:
Excellent scores, man, I don't know if you've been paying attention to how well you've been doing but you're #5 in the world on at least one level!

I saw your name on the leaderboard

let it be known that VJC is coming for DAT ASS

I am pretty sure there is a bonus option to bleep it unlocks.

 

[thequickandthedead]

Is anyone planning on making an OT?

I normally just turn on my Wii. Ever since Dolphin, that's all it does.

But damn does she do it right.

Pretty much... you can disable the swears, but that still leaves the mutilation, scantily-clad women and borderline offensive representation of the handicapped. And that's just the first level.

It does a fantastic job of pulling off that exploitation movie style, though. It's why it's my favourite HotD by far; it has style for days.

I think it's pretty brilliant.

so your Wii is just powering the sensor bar and dolphin is reading the wiimote input via bluetooth or are you using something like glovepie for that?

Bought.

Wario64 mentioned TotD on Steam the other day and people, including myself, thought he was just joking. Guess he knew better
edit: he said he didn't know. had a hunch it might be typing of the dead but didn't know about a new one.

Typing of Arcadia

[Crub]

So am I crazy or is there no way to run this in resolutions higher than 1080p? I know it's going for the grindhouse thing but the low resolution looks kind of awful.

The internal rendering resolution of the is actually locked to 720p. Upping the resolution just makes the menus sharper.

 

[antitrop]

I have Battlefield 4 installed and I kind of want to play this, instead. WTF

 

[epmode]

Gross. Durante pls.

After that Deadly Premonition thread, I expected more people to be complaining about this. Maybe no one cares because it was a surprise release.

 

[BlackJace]

I think shenmue is coming.

Well, Durante's busy with Deadly Premonition right now.

 

[ZoddGutts]

Here's hoping it sells well enough that we'll get Typing of the Dead 2 English translated version.

 

[Minister of the Dog]

so your Wii is just powering the sensor bar and dolphin is reading the wiimote input via bluetooth or are you using something like glovepie for that?

Until now, I just let Dolphin do all the recognition. Worked fantastic with both my Wiimote and Wiimote+. I'll have to look into other software to be able to use it with this game. I guess glovepie, yes.

And yes, the Wii just powers the sensor bar.

 

[SparkleMotion]

I'm a little confused as to how the combo mechanic works. I thought you had to be perfect, but I've missed a letter in a few words and still had my combo extended.

 

[Xater]

How?
Changed my country to the UK, still didn't work.

I don't know, it worked for me earlier. I guess get someone to gift it to you.

 

[MrCunningham]

How does the game run?

My PC:

I5 2500k
Geforce 660 3GB
8GB's of RAM @1600Mhz

I had FRAPS on and it runs at a steady 60FPS with no stutter in game. This is at 1920x1080 with "antialiasing" on. This game really has nothing in the way of graphics options, just antialiasing on or off and the ability to change your screen resolution. That's about it.

But this game was port of a PS3 game that was originally a port of a Wii title. While it's visually the best looking typing game on PC, it still just an enhanced Wii game.Don't expect to be blown away by the visuals.

This is my first playthrough of Overkill though, and for a western made House of the Dread game, its surprisingly good. The game uses a Grindhouse like presentation and there's quite a few funny moments. Though not unintentionally funny like the previous games in the series.

Oh....

I thought something looked a little off.

Typing of the Dead Space Extraction

I saw your name on the leaderboard

let it be known that VJC is coming for DAT ASS

#1 in the world on the Carnival level on hard. I finished the level with 99% accuracy, collected everything, never got hit, full combo for the entire level. So that's probably pretty close to a high score benchmark on that level. Good luck.

You can typo once or twice before it resets the combo.

The introduction to the second level had some of the best dumb writing I have seen in while.

And yeah even my two year old iMac runs this in 1080 with AA without issue.

ahahaha

I think shenmue is coming.

They're both coming, I believe. I think Skies got a rating somewhere?

I think they probably got slowed down by SEGA having a long hard look at itself, I'd imagine.

How do you grab the items? Have yet to figure it out.

 

[SparkleMotion]

Tab.

 

[Stumpokapow]

How do you grab the items? Have yet to figure it out.

Tab. And it doesn't reset your combo if there's no item there, so just spam it all the time. Some of the items need split-second timing or are impossible to see. :/

 

[ezekial45]

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT

This game has the extended cut (the lightgun game) as well?

 

[Mr_Zombie]

I've played the first chapter and... I think the original TotD was better.

Overkill is still a fun game, mind you, but TotD seemed more... complete for a typing game. There was the tutorial mode and various practice modes that helped you practice certain aspects of typing. Power-ups were designed with typing in mind (i.e. some gave you short words, some gave you words from a certain category or similar-sounding words). There were also those little additional challenges during chapters where you had to type really quick or had to type very long words. Also, the thing I miss the most are scores that would actually show you how quick you type, your accuracy, your most problematic letters and other aspects of your typing.

Not to mention, agents don't even wear keyboards like they did in the first game.

While the first game looked like a game designed completely for teaching and using typing (even though it was based on an on-rail shooter), this one feels like an on-rail shooter with just typing slapped on it. There's even HUD showing you the amount of bullets until next reload (even though you don't have to reload in the typing mode).

Thanks for the info. I didn't know Dolphin could be used like that, thought it would only allow programs running in Dolphin to recognise the Wii remote. That's actually a pretty useful thing to have!

Some of that may be updated in an upcoming patch. The game's Steam page mentions a patch with free DLC for online multiplayer.
And regardless, if Sega really is porting all their older DC games to PC, the original TotD could still make an appearance, as it already runs on Windows as is.

 

[PixyJunket]

Wishlisted, for now.

I will probably buy it by the end of the week though, such a great game.

This was Smilebit, right?

So many British TV references.

Do they still appear if you set the dictionary to US? Or have people found US based references instead when the dictionary is set to US?

Whoa.

Love seeing all the gaffers on the leaderboards. Some of the later levels only have like 15 people on them. I'm number 3 on the train level!
