House of the Dead: OVERKILL - Reveal trailer

Published 19 August, 2008 Duration 1:18

Precious little to judge the game on here, really, but a lovely trailer nonetheless. We're hoping the phantasmagorical style gets carried over to the game, complete with schlock horror voice-over.

That is so cool I'm pretty sure my head just exploded.

Looks dated, but hey, that's why I love HoTD

Wow. Looks really cool. Nice to see a bit of originality rather than just sticking it inside some stone walls and crypts.

Grindhouse vibe going on.

Someone's been hanging around with Tarantino a bit too much.

Well, whaddya know? This looks pretty fresh and entertaining...Headstrong/Kuju are a pretty solid developer too, so there's a good chance this might turn out OK.

It's retro-horror stylings and that's perhaps the best style to go for. The on-rails shooter is a bit of a throwback anyways so if they're going to go for it, they may as well go the whole hog and go all retro-horror. The style could realy help lift it up, throw in some corny dialog and cheesy humour and it could be awesome.

COULD BE. As long as they go back to the HOTD2 model. Anything less and it's going to be a big fat failure.

Shades of a Planet Terror rip-off there, chaps.

Good stuff though.

Ummm shades?

It's a complete and utter homage to Planet Terror ffs, all they need to do is lose a reel/level in the game and the circle of awesome is complete.

It's kindda funny to say this trailer is a Planet Terror homage/rip off, since Planet Terror is basically a love letter (read: homage) to cheap 70'/80's horror flicks. House of the Dead series always had this "vibe"; they just made it more obvious with this awsome trailer

Well, can't be any worse than HOTD4. Or can it?

I think it looks dated and pish.

Where this fails is the Wii controller, it isnt a light gun nor ever will be.

Great trailer. And no they've been inspired by Blaxploitation movies. Go see Foxy Cleopatra

Somebody doing trailers really liked Grindhouse. Question is, what did the game creators like?

If the game can keep up that same tone of cheese then I'm sold on that one. Hooray!

Nice trailer. But will the game itself follow suit?

And come on, Wii games have never been about the graphics. Get over it. You know who you are...
