Fantastic. House of the Dead always seemed perfect for touchscreen devices. Don't mind that tap-to-shoot isn't default and it's awesome that it'll be unlockable.
Wow.. not tapping to shoot? I guess the idea against this was that it's harder this way. If you can beat the game using an accel or a joystick then tapping to shoot should make the game a breeze. Btw, were the graphics always like that? They look kind of.. terrible.
ohhh..house of the dead, really loved this game especially in the arcade..btw the poster girl in the first pic, i will gladly tap dat! LOL
Great news ! I quite like the graphic style, seems a bit Borderlands/comic style Looking forward to this one
It is not a girl... it is a zombie! I am sure that you will pay a lot if you tap it in real life (if zombies are real!).
After playing through HotD 2 on a PC with a mouse I can verify that Tap To Shoot made the game pretty damned easy.
"Unfortunately, the game only comes with two levels, with one additional level available through in-app purchase. The graphics dont look great, and the zombie types repeat constantly. In the hospital level, for instance, youll fight a seemingly endless stream of identical bloody nurses and undead patients." http://www.slidetoplay.com/previews/house-of-the-dead-overkill-the-lost-reels-hands-on-preview/
What a very nicely groomed and tweezed zombie... I think this is the HOTD version that came up on the Wii not to long back isnt it? If so, im really looking forward to this cause that game is awesome according to some YT clips.
Oh how I PRAYED Sega would port ANY House Of The Dead game to iOS and it's coming now. No IAP please. HOTD3 Overkill on Wii was my favorite game. This is huge for me. THANK YOU SEGA> Edit: only two levels and one iApp level? Say it not true. I'll GLADLY pay premium for the full HOTD experience on iPad.
