House of the Dead: Overkill

[jefXfree]

Today, SEGA and Headstrong Games are proud to reveal The House of the Dead: OVERKILL Extended Cut box art. The game will be releasing only on PlayStation 3 across PAL regions from 28 October.

We announced the Extended Cut of the House of the Dead: OVERKILL just before E3 this year. It was quite an exciting moment for us as this is the first time we will have released a House of the Dead game on an HD console and the PS3 is the perfect home for an arcade shooter like OVERKILL. With the Move Motion Controller support and the 3D TV mode, we’re really making this the best in the series so far.

Characters:

Spoiler

These posters and our box art pay homage to our signature retro b-movie look and hopefully you would have recognized the legendary Agent G and Detective Washington. This time around we also wanted to give Varla Gunns higher billing to the point where she became the headline character on the box art. This is no fluke; she plays a bigger part in this Extended Cut and we’ll have more details on this soon.

​

Here is the complete list of exclusive features, only for PS3 owners:

1. PlayStation Move and Sharp Shooter compatible
2. OVERKILL fully remastered – available in high definition graphics and stereoscopic 3D for the first time ever
3. Extended with two additional levels not in the original game
4. Exclusive crossbow weapon
5. New baby mutant type
6. New Hardcore mode – mutants can only be killed with headshots
7. New Classic mode – play through the entire game using only the AMS Magnum
8. Exclusive missing reel – an extended boss fight with “Mother” in “OVERKILL”, the game’s final level
9. Online leaderboards to track high scores and stats
10. Collectibles to grab throughout all levels to unlock bonus materials; comic pages, music tracks, 3D models and 2D artwork
11. New PlayStation trophies to unlock
12. Improved boss fights in all levels
13. New and improved cut-scenes using motion capture

House of the Dead: Overkill Gets a PS3 Extended Cut

Bonkers zombie shooter House of the Dead: Overkill Extended Cut lurches towards PlayStation later this year, with a planned release date of 25th October in the US and 28th October in Europe. That's just a few days before Haloween, fright fans.

The on-rails co-op shooter appeared on Wii back in 2009, but in making the jump to PS3 the Extended Cut now brings new content, functionality and a HD spruce up.

There are two brand new levels to add to the original's seven, plus Move and 3D support. And, of course, lets not forget all those lovely, lovely trophies.

The gore and swears-tastic Wii edition of the game was generally well-received, but failed to make much of an impact, sales-wise. Let's hope the PS3 version does a little better.

House of the Dead: OVERKILL – Naked Terror Revealed

Following on from my previous House of the Dead: OVERKILL post, I’m pleased to be able to reveal some more exclusive news for you right here on the PlayStation Blog; this time in the form of a new level reveal. We’re proud to announce the details for the first of two exclusive levels from the Extended Cut; Naked Terror.

Naked Terror sees you fighting your way through a strip club (a real hardship I know), the streets of Bayou City and a bar, and not only do you have new environments to battle your way through, you also have new stripper and biker mutants to contend with. The other cool aspect to this new level is who you play as, for this level G and Wash are elsewhere, leaving you to take control of Varla (previously an NPC in the original Overkill) and her stripper friend Candy.

Candy seems to have the required staples for any standard stripper: she has a heart of gold, is wholesome, innocent, yet can be naïve to the world. There is one big difference though between her and her stripper brethren; our heroine is pretty handy with a hand cannon, and skilfully adept at taking down enemies. Sounds like my kind of woman really.

There are connections between her and Jasper (the boss at the end of the Plantation level). It was as a hospital volunteer that she first met Jasper and there a romance developed. Now she works alongside Varla, hoping to one day save up enough money for her and Jasper to leave Bayou City for good. To complicate things further Jasper is Varla’s brother. How does this ultimately all fit together? Well, you’ll have to wait and see when the game releases.

These two exclusive levels cover a new side story that reveals additional details to help you understand the main storyline. That’s your lot for the moment, I’ll be back in due course to reveal the details of the second exclusive level.
