' The house of the dead 4' locationtest in "Ikebukuro GIGO" 2 day - 3 day opening

Finally the up-to-date work is appearance. Don't you think? it is after 3 years. With being the case that it is said, you played promptly. The point is lifted when,

Weapon from shot cancer/gun "of 3" modification to machine-gun. It keeps pulling the trigger with it fires. When the cancer/gun it can tilt little bit, it is リロード. In addition the button due to the cancer/gun, when this is pushed, the grenade is thrown. When you compare to the shot cancer/gun, after all it has become light.

The monitor became wide type. When it compares with "3", considerably breadth has become wide.

The baseplate seems that becomes new. Concretely, it is not understood yet. As for logograph you see in the frame and do not hit and, looking at the title picture, and the like, there were no kind of any which are recognized.
But it is the favor, or furthermore being able to express beautiful and weird graphics than the previous production it is. And, than as many as the number of zombies who appear in one picture "3" increases.

There is route selection previous production in the same way and halfway. In addition, it is inserted on occasion the scene which mounds the story stage first including.
Is not attention even in the story surface, whether the being connected of the previous production how has become, probably will be?

Was it the same as the video that Sega showed at E3 2005, with their next-generation teaser video? Same game? Or something different?

With Sega still making arcade games, there is still a reason to go to the arcades! Can't wait to try this out. Now, please, please make Afterburner a reality!

Afterburner is very much a reality.....in fact, it looked further along than any other game in the closed door Sega video....

You did see Shog's video, right?


It had a mech game, Afterburner Next-gen, a next Get Virtua Fighter demo, this house of the dead game and, best of all, a great looking sonic game...

I actually was able to see this at E3. Afterburner looked killer. I meant to say I hope that the footage that was shown from E3 was actual arcade footage. If not, that footage will eventually turn out to be a real game, as Sega never specified that these were taken from actual games...just hinted that you would see them earlier than you think.

the original Model 2C arcade House Of The Dead is still my favorite, by far -
even over NAOMI ~ DC HOTD2 or Chihiro ~ Xbox HOTD3

Where's HotD 3? Didn't know a 3 was out.

House Of The Dead 3: Chihiro (Xbox) based arcade and Xbox home console.

from like 2002-2003

it was pretty decent, but not completely awesome. but definitally a must have if you are into light gun games like I am. pretty much the best light gun game out on Xbox, which isnt saying much, though, honestly.


I might be mistaken but I think that Sega had made or was making a more cartoon like version of HOTD3 (cel shaded? i dont know) but then they scrapped it for the more realistic look.

HotD3 also saw a JP only PC release. They should really consider a PS2 port, it'd probably sell a good 200-300k worldwide.

was HotD3 the cell-shaded one? :lol

Couldn't you just google House of the Dead 3?

What is Sega's newest arcade set-up based on this time? Are they doing a Chihiro 2, or is this something non-console based?

Just fucking googling everything would defeat the purpose of 'forum interaction', wouldn't it?

How hard is it to say "yes" or "no"? Snide little shit...

HotD was cell-shaded at one stage, IIRC.

All indications are that Sega's new arcade board is based on Imagination Technologie's/PowerVR's Series 5.

I'm interested, but sadly put off because I know it won't ever be put on a console I'd purchase.

The Xbox has three light gun games:
Starsky & Hutch (On the PS2)
The House of The Dead 3 (On the PC, soon, I think)
Silent Scope Complete (Only version with light-gun support. :( Konami hates the PS2 or something.)

Edit:
If you own ALL 3 for the Xbox, I'd like it if you could append something to my gun list.

Speaking of which...Can someone link me to that next-gen teaser that Sega showed at E3 2005? I never got around to watching it.

FUCK YES. I recently got a dreamcast used and also picked up Typing of the Dead for 99 cents on a whimsy. But, after searching Amazon, I found 2 keyboards for like 10 bucks each, and I gotta say, TIME OF MY LIFE.

A sequel would rock.

Whad up, fuckaz? I'll go check it out on Monday night, but I don't know if it'll still be on test. I missed the original Outrun2 location test by 24 hours :(

Could anyone playing the test version in Japan please try to confirm what board is being used? Look for logos in the game and on the cabinet. As much info/pix as possible, please!
