Alternate fan account dedicated to the horror rail shooter arcade cult classic, The House of the Dead series. Formerly a countdown to the release of the remake of HOTD2.
I’ll also post some other gaming stuff here.

But what do I know? I’m a filthy casual who has a soft spot for this franchise. HOTD has the backbones (read - BACKBONES) for a good lore. Maybe in a different timeline it would, and have more installments. (And Gary would be the poster creature hunting pretty boy lol)

…care about any other IP except for Sonic, Persona, and Yakuza. One of them isn’t originally their IP! SEGA (or SEGA America or SEGA Amusements) could’ve done their research and said “no” instead of approving this mess. But business is business and they need lots of profit. HOTD isn’t profitable.

As much as yes, the blame goes to the developers, sound directors, etc., it looks like, again, they were put under crunch time from execs hoping to make a quick buck. Time and time again, it shows that rushed deadlines don’t make good games.
SEGA also deserves some blame here. It’s clear they don’t

A quick glimpse of what Forever Entertainment was dealing with foreshadows the 2nd remake’s state. In between HOTD1 remake and now, they were working on remaking the Front Mission series and maybe Panzer Dragoon Zwei in addition to HOTD2. That’s probably a lot for a small Polish indie dev studio.
