Would have preferred a remaster of the second game (Wii version only) as it was superior to the other versions.

I do plan on getting this but will probably wait and get the physical version or a sale

I've played and own all of them, and oddly enough 2 is my favourite followed Very closely by 1 and then TSA 3rd. NMH3 is my least favourite but by no means a bad game I just prefer slaughtering people and not weird machine like aliens. In terms of this port, I predict it will look and run a lot nicer but taking away the motion controls will definitely hurt the experience.

@WaveBoy For me the lack of blood and gore just feels wrong. The blood and gore was one of HOD's selling points and taking that away is like mortal Kombat without fatalities, so to see all the violence back in remake made it even better. In terms of graphics the yeah, Scarlett dawn is better but remake definitely looks nice and I would say looks better than overkill and even 4

@WaveBoy not sure how any light gun game could work on Xbox as that controller doesn't even have gyro let alone a light gun. I've played all the HOD games including Scarlett dawn and I can say right now that HOD:remake is much better than 4 and probably as good as Scarlett dawn

THOD1 is a very special game for me, I would pump £1 after £1 into the arcade cabinet and even begged my dad for a Sega Saturn when I heard it was coming to the system. Maybe I was a weird kid but shooting a plastic gun and seeing zombie blood, guts, and limbs flying everywhere with a backdrop of an old spooky mansion was the greatest thing ever to my 12 year old brain and I kid you not, when I was walking to work a almost a year ago and the remake trailer dropped I was 12 years old again and I was very excited yet at the same time knew that joycons with gyro wouldn't be the best fit.

So here we are 24 years after I got the Saturn version on good Friday 1998 (yes, I remember the day) I've played the heck out of the remake and cannot believe what a amazing job forever entertainment has done, they really haved smashed it out the park in my opinion. Everything just looks so good and is EXACTLY how I would imagine a modern remake of HOD1 to look, even the new soundtrack is great, everything is just dripping with atmosphere and it all feels so new yet so familiar, it's simply perfect 👌

But..............the gyro controls, they ain't great, they do the job and I would choose them any day over sticks but as guy that cut his teeth on PROPER light guns back in the day, it hurts me to see it come to this in 2022 but there is a flip side and the flip side is that the game is so fun and well made that you'll probably be having too much fun to really notice and shooting, reloading, and tapping the re-center button will all become second nature and you'll be popping headshots before you know it. A lot of people have also complained about performance issues, I personally have not experienced anything I would even call distracting let alone game breaking, I'm not saying they don't exist I'm just saying they are very minor.

So to wrap up this long and boring post I'd give this a solid 7/10, if this game had a true light gun option then this would be a light gun masterpiece and I would easily give it a 10 and that's without going into all the unlockables, medals, high scores, multiple endings, and the horde mode! which is fantastic by the way. This is definitely a good game and a solid recommendation to old timers like me that were fans of the first 2 games and as long as your willing to adapt you'll have a great time.

I love this game, I would have liked a physical release but eh, what you gonna do.

Gimme MW trilogy on the go and I'm a happy man, they can keep the new ones

I really like this game, and it runs and looks extremely well on switch although I would like crossplay so I can play with my son who's on xbox

@NerdyBoutKirby £35 isn't that expensive mate

Turtles tournament fighters (SNES VERSION) has me sold already, one of the most underrated fighters from back in the day

Rebellion hasn't let me down yet, sniper elite 4 is probably the best "realistic" looking games on the switch and runs and looks beautiful on my TV, same with strange brigade. I think a lot of it has to do with strong and unique art direction and using what you have wisely and this is something I think rebellion understand quite well.

Already have my copy of ZA4 pre-ordered at GAME

Batman Arkham (the Wii u version) say what you will but when I booted that game up way back in December 2012 on my shiny new Wii U and the gamepad became the bat computer I was all giddy and needing out and it still gets me even now

Won't bother with the collectors edition, it's lacking an art book which I would have loved but I will be getting the standard version. I already have the game digitally so I'll be keeping the physical one sealed same as I'll be doing with dusk. Shadowman is one of the best video games ever made in my opinion so it's a no brainer for me.

My favourite in the series is still AC4, in the same way that dead rising on 360 felt "next gen" I had the exact same feeling when I played AC4 for the first time, it was so vast and open and most importantly FUN.

I have never played the ezio games so after enjoying everything from 3 to syndicate, including spin-offs (not interested in the newer ones) I was worried that playing these older ones would feel very dated and boring, I'm happy to say that's not the case and although not up there with 4 AC2 has been a blast to play so far and I'm looking forward to brother hood and revelations.

There are quite a few of the side scrolling beat em up homages now so might hold off for a bit............arh, who am I kidding I just can't help myself. I'll have it day one

I wouldn't mind remaster of world at war and black ops 1 with gyro controls in some kind of legacy bundle or whatever. I don't much care for the newer titles so MS can keep em

Physical has been confirmed on rebellion's own website and will all be on one game card not including future downloads. I love these games to bits and played 4 very briefly on my son's Xbox one through gamepass so as a guy that more or less plays only on switch I'm very happy this is coming and will be a day one buy for me.

As primarily a Nintendo gamer myself, this is like telling me that the sky is blue and grass is green

Actually looks decent, I only remember the Dreamcast game back in the day although I never owned or played it

Nintendo would rather go bust than sell out, it just will never happen. To me personally, I couldn't care less about Activision or any of their games apart from crash bandicoot and even then I'd rather play Mario or even sonic.
But in the grand scheme of things stuff like this is never a good thing but that's business and that's how it is and always will be. I think PlayStation gamers will be affected by this the most and if Microsoft decide to play hard ball and keep all of the Activision ip's exclusive to Xbox than there's no other way of saying it but PlayStation is in trouble.

Meh, cloud version anyway

May as well not even be on the system

@AugustusOxy maybe you saw the PS1 version littering shelves back in the day because that version was awful and the PS1 just couldn't handle it but amongst N64 and PC gamers I remember it being held in pretty high regard at the time.

Don't do cloud gaming, especially on switch. I tried a few demos and they ran like garbage and the lag was insane, seriously why do they even bother with this whole switch-cloud nonsense.

I don't get it?? What's happened

@DaftAda wow, I would love to see that stuff

I played the hell out of this game back in the day on the N64

One of the greatest horror games ever made, no hand holding, great combat and interesting story, what more could you want.

Yep, count me in. Perfect for Halloween 🎃

The only thing certain about Nintendo is that nothing is certain

They'll drop the trailer on some random day like they always do but my guess is as good as yours

I use to work with a guy called Jesse fox so this trailer is a bit weird to watch

I'm a bit gutted as I wanted them physically but I'll probably just get them on eShop and keep my physical copies sealed

Leon looks awful but the rest look good, I'll give it a go I've seen ALL of the RE films at the cinema, it's a become tradition of mine so they got my money either way.

We got 3 solid titles and a great spin off

As a die hard no more heroes fan I'm happy with that, don't get me wrong I'd love to be playing another no more heroes game in the future but if this is it then thats cool to

Each to their own I guess but to me this is a game you own a switch for, the oy exception being you hate video game violence, dislike fighting games or are not old enough to play.

But if your none of the above and still haven't checked out the no more heroes games then maaaaaaan are you missing out and 3 is the best one yet.

Vice city and San Andreas are the only GTA games I've ever bothered with and that was years ago so yeah I'd jump back in if it was on the switch.

They should port GTA 4 too I reckon, not like the switch couldn't take it

So looking forward to this, pumped many pound coins into the arcade

Really liked the original, me and my oldest son always play it so we we're both really excited to see there was a sequel and set in our old home town of London was the cherry on top.

The first game did feel a bit light on content and there were some technical problems that I hope have been ironed out for the sequel. More variation in environments and objectives would be nice too.

The arcade scene is dead, we've known this for many years now but at least Southend on sea still has many machines and always seems to be packed

I remember them as the guys that ported the house of the dead to the sega Saturn, they have come a long way

Really wanted to see Bayonetta 3 and Metroid P4, luckily Metroid dread and BOTW2 made up for it but still wasn't the show stealer I was hoping for

Shut up and take my money

I'm not concerned, despite what people say about panzer dragoon remake I thought it was pretty decent and I should know I was a Saturn kid and still play the saturn to this day so........ we're in good hands and clearly these guys have a passion for these old school 32 bit sega games.

As for the controls, once again I think we're all good, they wouldn't even bother making it if they wasn't confident they could recreate the feel of a light gun.

But here are MY concerns:
720p? Docked? really guys? C'mon now

Physical copy? I need it and this needs to happen or I won't be happy

@anoyonmus Ok, I've been reading through this comment section and you seem to be replying to a lot of comments and seem to know a lot about what's going on with this game. Are you one of the guys working on this game?

Reminds me of NFS nitro and that's a good thing, shame I can't stand the F&F franchise though

Just watched a gameplay interview and I think I'll be picking this one up when it lands

Looks alright

@Phenzy They must have something planned, even if it's a gun shell you slot a joycon into, a bit like the cabella games back on wii & 360. Gyro is a given at the very least so I wouldn't worry about only having thumb sticks to aim with

@BongoBongo123

If the switch lite has gyro then you should be fine

It'll need a light gun to be truly authentic, gyro controls won't cut it. But the trailer looks very promising and as 90's kid that saved his Christmas and pocket money to buy the original for the saturn I'm very excited to be getting my hands on this.

Garage: Bad trip 2 would be nice, I loved the first game
