Forever Entertainment Remaking First Two ‘The House of The Dead’ Games
Okay, no one’s going to lie and say that The House of The Dead games weren’t cheesy as hell, but also pretty damn fun lightgun games. Which is more than what can be said about the films, but I digress.
According to an article by Polish website Grampospolita.pl, Forever Entertainment (the same devs behind the upcoming Panzer Dragoon remakes) have stated that they’re next project will be to remake the first two entries in The House of The Dead series! The translated article states that the games will have “new graphics adapted to modern standards and slightly modified gameplay, but will fully preserve the original scenario”.
No platforms have been announced (or how they’ll work with the lightgun mechanics), but the first game is expected next year, with Forever Entertainment presenting a few tidbits in the coming months.
My question is: Will we be getting a remake of Typing of the Dead? Probably not, but hey, for those who love their lightgun shooters with a heavy helping of cheese, you’re in luck.
While not quite Snakes on a Plane or Red Eye, co-developers Liquid Static Studio and Snapping Turtle have something darker in mind with their upcoming job-sim horror game, Night Plane. Coming to Steam later this year, the game has you doing the expected work as a flight attendant, but with the added bonus of trying to find demons hiding amongst the passengers.
It’s 1999, and it’s your first day on the job. You must do the usual things as a flight attendant: welcoming passengers aboard, check tickets, and attend to their needs. However, shape-shifting entities may attempt to come aboard disguised as humans. So, your additional job in Night Plane is to question passengers, and find a way to remove any unauthorized non-human visitors from the plane.
That also leads to assisting passengers in unorthodox ways inside the plane, outside the plane, and in places not listed in your training manual. To make things even more complicated, you’ll need to make tough decisions with irreversible consequences. Naturally, the company will not be held accountable for any mistakes you make. You live with them.
Oh, and seeing as this is a plane, you may encounter some turbulence while in flight, along with power failures, lightning strikes and more. All of which, including your decisions, will lead to one of the multiple endings in Night Plane.
