New Splatterhouse screens -- now with more blood!

by Ben Gilbert { Nov 29th 2009 at 5:30PM }

If you're anything like us, you've had the upcoming Splatterhouse remake fresh in your mind ever since this week's positively terrifying reveal of Splatterhouse shoes. Thankfully, Namco also released a handful of fresh screens of the game, riddled with various creature parts and – shock! – gallons of blood. Sure, the 13-year-old in us is just about as stoked for a new Splatterhouse game as one could be. Unfortunately, the 25-year-old in us still needs a lot of convincing that the franchise is worth revisiting before next year's Q3 release.

I'm not sure I'm convinced either, but I do like how your character seems to get increasingly covered in blood the more you pummel things into oblivion.

Have you played Madworld?

Filthy Assistant @ Nov 29th 2009 9:12PM

Did that happen in Madworld? I don't remember it. Good game, though.

Anyone else reminded of Peter Jackson's horror movies?

I'll buy this day one either way, even if it sucks. It seems they've kept everything Splatterhouse about Splatterhouse, and that's enough for me.

The game needs to have a Troma Ent. quality to it though, like House of the Dead: Overkill, and a soundtrack by Municipal Waste, it could be amazing.

Hey, that looks half-decent for a Wii game...

Jerk Face @ Nov 29th 2009 7:35PM

I see what you did there!

Money Slave @ Nov 29th 2009 6:23PM

this game looks sick! is it like an arena style game sorta like quake? where the main goal is to frag opponents with your fists?

fred @ Nov 29th 2009 7:25PM

I have no idea but the phrase "frag opponents with your fists" has to be integrated into the ad campaign for this, that fist of the north star game, the next beat-em-up... ANYTHING, really

rubAdub72 @ Nov 30th 2009 8:44AM

if it's anything like the 16-bit games, it's a mindless beat'em up where you crush monster skulls with a pipe. FUN FUN FUN

and i'm not being ironic

Honestly I'm just glad this title didn't get dropped. It seemed possible. It's for such a specific audience, I doubt it will have Stellar sales no matter how good it may be.

hell yeah!!!

Ben @ Nov 29th 2009 6:55PM

Looks like a Rick Rollin' time!

Later, at the doctor's office...

The good news: you've defeated the demon hoard with only a few minor cuts and scrapes.

The bad news: you have hepatitis C.

Looks good. Makes you wish games wouldn't be quarreled over between developers and publishers, instead be MADE and RELEASED like every other game.

Chris @ Nov 29th 2009 7:27PM

I really hope this game doesn't suck, I loved splatterhouse on the TG-16.

Jerk Face @ Nov 29th 2009 7:36PM

Welp, this looks fucking terrible.

Filthy Assistant @ Nov 29th 2009 9:12PM

Hey, you can't judge based on these screenshots!

But yeah it probably will be.

Loosifur @ Nov 29th 2009 10:33PM

Looks like every grandmother's (or any other elderly lady's) nightmare. Must be a good game.

rubAdub72 @ Nov 30th 2009 8:56AM

I'm hoping the pinata-fetus things from Splatterhouse 2 make a return, those things were adorable.

The 27-year-old in me says "YEAH! Finally lots of blood!!!"
