House of the Dead: OVERKILL

I know it was talked about in another thread, but not everyone knows yet so hush.

That boxart is so damn awesome.

Quote:

• Pulp Funk Horror.
Zombie cool, one of the most popular shooter classics injected with a whole new retro b-movie look.

• An utterly in-your-face zombie-dismembering blast.
Non-stop light-gun style action on Wii, blow apart zombies for high-score thrills.

• Superb co-op action on Wii.
Bring a friend and play the game as intended in your own buddy action movie as two of the meanest characters in video gaming.

• Relentless, gore-drenched, over-the-top action.
Only the coolest, most cold-hearted agent’s going to keep his head against the zombie flood. Use “Slow-Mofo Time” to make the perfect head-popping shot and “Evil Eye” to spot moments of opportunity that’ll send the whole environment up in flames.

• Wiimote reactions.
Get knee-deep in the dead with motion-sensitive Wii-controls. Shuck a shotgun and when the zombies get too close, pistol whip jaws off or cave some heads in with the stock of your pump-action – all in stomach-churning close-up.

I actually lol'd at “Slow-Mofo Time”.

They've come for brains...you'll give them bullets.

Yeah the game looks real nice and sounds like it will be a lot of fun.

Co-op play is always a good option as well, something else to look forward to in 2009.

Sounds great anyway.

couthinate · 08-19-2008, 05:29 PM

Slow Mofo time.

Yet another title to keep an eye on. 2009 is looking like a great year.

1337endo · 08-19-2008, 05:57 PM

Wow, this actually sounds and looks really good. I've always liked House of the Dead.

MakaiZomby · 08-19-2008, 06:03 PM

I was always 'iffy' with console HotD games...

So this one is a rails, huh? Any description of it railing better than RE: UC ?

Earthworm Jim · 08-19-2008, 07:47 PM

another rail shooter. YAWN

PSYKOBILY · 08-19-2008, 08:42 PM

The trailer looks like it was made by Quentin Terintino. This game looks really promising for a rail.

walcnogard · 08-19-2008, 09:02 PM

This is teh hawt.

Wow, I'm completely geeked about this.

GeezerGuy · 08-19-2008, 10:36 PM

I'm in on this game!!

As I am having a great time playing HOTD 2 and 3 right now.

FronzDan · 08-19-2008, 10:51 PM

Being on rails is ok with me, I just hope they get some better voice acting than all the other HoTD titles.

you only say that because it uses the grindhouse method the same as death proof.

it was a common thing in the 70s, definitely not something tarantino came up with.

trailer does look awesome tho.

Heh, I'd be okay if they had an option in the game original HOTD VO work/good VO work. Part of the fun for me with the HOTD was the crappy VO work. I think it was highly instrumental in the original RE VO work.

The trailer looks like it was trying to look like it was made by Quentin Tarantino.
