The House Of The Dead: Remake Is Heading To Xbox Next Week

And I think it was a good idea that I held back on the Switch version. Hopefully the game will not have performance issues in PS4 or Xbox One...

@Rural-Bandit yeah how’s this going to work better than the switch version just using the controller as a controller? They should focus on fixing the version they have out first

I hope we also see Triangle Strategy at some point. I held back with difficulty to buy it. These third party Nintendo exclusives are annoying. Since they lock good games behind an impotent hardware which affects gameplay experience.

Would be good if we got Typing of the Dead: Remake instead to make up for lack of lightgun!

I'm hoping for a Steam version with mouse controls so I can use my Sinden Lightgun on it

Kb&m available?..errr..I guess just mouse, really.

OP here. The search came up in a weird series of related searches that started with the Capcom fighting collection and it's preorder incentives. After a while I tried a dashboard+Y button search for "The house of the Dead" and despite no preview I hit start to search all. It was a few rows down.

@Rural-Bandit maybe they’ll package a special gun with it… I mean if the joy cons can be used as a light gun for HD tvs because of their motion tracking cameras then you’d think it a no brainier that at some point sega/Namco would have packaged all their light gun games with one to sell to us.
One of the pros of vr is it’s pretty much kept the genera alive

@Rural-Bandit I only have psvr…there’s plenty of decent wave shooters but the first game that instantly came to mind thats an arcade light gun game like this worth playing is Until dawns Rush of blood - a great game that works well with the moves.

@Rural-Bandit PS4 would be the best version if it supports the move controller also would be great with psvr but I don't see that being a feature

You need a gun to play House of the Dead!! I have it with the gun on PS3!!

@Rural-Bandit Drop Dead on Quest 2 is excellent. That’s a rail shooter fighting zombies. Excellent game. First game i bought on Quest 2 an i haven’t drleted it.

@Rural-Bandit there are some really good games on Quest 2. My fav is prob Pro Putt Golf. I’m not even a golf fan but playing it in VR is so good!! Also the game uses music from YouTube do you can basically listen to absolutely sny music ya like whilst ya play an if ya look behind ya there’s a big screen with the music video or live performance on. Def recommend that game.

@Rural-Bandit you do know if you buy a game ya don’t like ya can request a refund? So long as ya played for less than 2 hours you can hand the game back for a full refund.

I wasn't fully sold on playing this on the Switch with it's motion controls, I'm certainly not sold on playing with an Xbox controllers flash backs of playing PS2 LG games with a controller.

Tangent: why the hell is this not on VR? Zombie railgun shooters are everywhere in VR and pretty damn fun, I would have jumped at the chance to play this in VR

I love these games (even without a gun) but will wait for a sale. GamePass would have been nice.

The Switch version ‘should’ be the ultimate version because it’s got Joycons that can be used in plastic guns I think? The closest thing to a light gun you’ll get, but it seems it runs poorly, now it’ll run fine I suspect in a Series X, but you’ll have to use a controller for it? It’s built for a gun, end off.

Honestly, if you have a strong preference for playing games on a certain piece of hardware, it's usually best to hold off until third-party "exclusives" are ported to your system of choice, since nothing that isn't actually owned by the platform holder seems to stay exclusive for very long.

It's why I just wait for Switch ports of non-AAA games I want now. They always come eventually.

@Axlroselm I'd say there's a good chance of Triangle Strategy hitting Xbox, considering Octopath Traveler did previously. If nothing else, it's 100% coming to PC in a year or so.

However you play it, though, definitely get it. Best tactical RPG I've played in a long time, and it very much blows Tomoya Asano's other major projects out of the water. Probably my GOTY unless something else super impressive releases.

@S1ayeR74 ps4 has move controllers they would work better than the joycons

@Would_you_kindly No I have both and the joycons work better in a game like this IMO.

@S1ayeR74 for this type of game I agree with @Would_you_kindly the Move controllers and the wii mote are much better and far more accurate.

Sadly the Xbox version will be the weakest to play because of the controller options, PC will be the best with mouse support so I'll be able to use the Sinden lightgun, PS is getting move support

@carlos82 No because you'll have to hold the PS4 controller as a controller with 2 hands, and that will make it pretty difficult to wave around anywhere near fast enough or accurate enough for this game. The Joy Con is a one handed device or as I said can be put into a plastic gun so you'll have much better control of its movements. The game is made for light guns, not controllers.

@S1ayeR74 we're talking about the move controllers. You'd hold one in each hand the same as the joy cons but with much more reliable aiming as it has a point of reference

It's a shame Kinect was never used for anything fun like this.
