What's been extended in House of the Dead Overkill's Extended Cut

by JC Fletcher on Jul 14th 2011 5:30PM

Sega posted a bit of an infodump to the PlayStation Blog about the upcoming 3D, HD House of the Dead: Overkill port. The changes go beyond the graphics and the relative glowiness of the controller -- there's actually a list of alterations made to the "extended cut."

Those changes include two new levels not found on Wii, a "new baby mutant type" and a new crossbow weapon. In addition, all of the boss fights have been "improved," and the "Mother" boss fight has been extended. Even the cutscenes have been redone with new motion capture.

There are also a couple of new modes: "Hardcore Mode," which forces you to perform headshots to kill enemies, and "Classic Mode," which gives you only the AMS Magnum. Overkill's Extended Cut will reach into retail in North America on October 25.

The Wii version was fantastic and hilarious, but had some bugs and slowdown. I think I'll have to get this updated version.

@SisypheanLife
Slowdown was caused by loading from the disc. I modded my Wii, and backed up my discs to a USB hard drive (yes, I still own my disc copy), and it's much smoother because of it.

i really wanted a PS3 version but never did i think it would actually come. Prayers do work!

But if I get this, what will I ever use my Wii for?

Not buying unless they added more F-words.

@ShoTime They need to reclaim the record that is rightfully theirs.

actually looking forward to this game coming to ps3.

Finally..an awesome game to make use of these Move controllers.

I absolutely love this game, but this better come with seriously upgraded graphics if they want it to fly on PS3. Even for a Wii game, this thing is weapons-grade ugly.

I think I know what they really added. More of this:

I LOVE HOUSE OF THE DEAD GAMES . i really wish we had HOTD 1 - 3 if not 3 just 1 and 2 cause i loved those games alot. really looking forward to getting this.

@HardBoiled2009
HotD 2 and 3 are on the wii.

Perhaps it's a good sign that there has yet to be someone commenting about Varla Gunns in that picture with a "I sure know what's being extended..." comment.

Subtle gun usage on there.

As long as they remove the reticle from the screen I'll get it. I never used reticles in on-rails shooters before, why the hell are they putting them in now? They take the immersion away from bringing up a weapon to aim down the sights and actually try to make it seem like it was your true aiming skill that killed the enemy.

@RENEgadeRSO Except, of course, that the Move controller has no sights of any kind, making the on-screen aiming aid mandatory. And no, a plastic gun that must be purchased separately to hold the controller is not an acceptable substitute.

In any case, I kept meaning to pick up the Wii version, but never got around to it. Looks like I'll snag this one instead -- might as well buff my trophy collection for a game I wanted to play anyway.

This is the best news I've heard all day! Already have it on the Wii, and will definitely be picking up this PS3 version on release day

@BigBadBob113
I usually don't buy ported games of the same generation, but I'm making an exception for this... and MADWORLD if it ever comes to X360/PS3.

What's extended? How about that shirt over those mams?

The girl looks like she's really enjoying herself.

How come Wii ports make me want the PS Move so much?

Awesome, glad more games are coming to the PS3 with the Move support. Day one purchase for the PS3 for sure

can't think of a better game to go 3D than house of the dead....except maybe a new space harrier...
