@snake2006 dude I love the whole series, even the newer version… yes the 2nd one had all of what you mentioned better weapons/more gore etc. Yeah the ending was more statisfying because you save Jennifer. Initially I was let down by #1′s ending but the more I thought about it, it’s more tragic and horrifying that Rick couldn’t save her thus adding to the classic horror “let down” endings… but you make good points as well…
@moviemetalhead
There is nothing wrong with Splatterhouse 2, I like it allot more than the first game.
It added so much more, unique weapons a more satisfying ending, more gore like the exploding stomach and eyeballs, the heart that explodes and covers the screen in red. It added more storyline to the series, especially the Japanese version since it explains more than the butchered US translation.
@MustyMarkus1
It’s the same mask. The reason for the change is to not get sued by Paramount who owned the Friday the 13th license at the time. (btw it’s now owned by New Line Cinema now, who made the last 4 movies)
The Splatterhouse 3 version is the official version now since that is the one used for the last Splatterhouse game.
@xboxlivegb
Don’t.
The new Splatterhouse game is good, I love it to death.
But the emulation of the original 3 games are VERY,VERY BAD.
The arcade Splatterhouse 1 runs slower than it should
Splatterhouse 2 and 3 are slowed right down, and the audio is very,very poorly emulated.
Your just better off emulating them on your computer. Not that Namco cares, they showed that when they wouldn’t advertise the new Splatterhouse and pretty much fired everyone involved.
this is definitely Namco’s homage to friday the 13th which is BAD ASS… as hard as the first one once was, once you get the hang of it you can beat… freakin classic the first game to give me nightmares…
@snake2006 but you gotta love that the first one is an arcade port and not the crappy genesis port…
what about s.h. 3 is it on the wii
@Khimeran77
I know, but I wish there wasn’t a cliffhanger for a ending. It just ends abruptly which is fine if there was a Splatterhouse 2 for sure coming but I doubt there will be another. Splatterhouse isn’t exactly a huge brand name, never was. But I have been a loyal fan of the series since I was in grade 3 when I first saw the comic book ad for the Turbo port of the Arcade. I still remember that vividly and then I got a taste of 2 and 3 on the Genesis and needed more.
@snake2006 I think the art direction is really nice! My only fear is that it might get very repeditive, but I like what I have seen, so I will buy it! Really, you have to look at the return on investment. Namco Bandai forecasted Splatterhouse would be million sellers worldwide. Namco Bandai dropped expectations to 350,000 units for Splatterhouse. I am not certain about the companies ROI, but that would determine if another Splatterhouse would be made. I’ll buy the game new though.
@Khimeran77
Atleast if you buy it,buy it new. I really would like atleast one more Splatterhouse game. It took forever to get this one and it was worth the 15 year wait.
Sure it’s not a AAA game more like a B+ game, it has some issues such as audio loss sometimes,animation is a bit jerky at times. But I have played far worse games than Splatterhouse. I enjoy the hell out of it (I am replaying it again) I don’t care what reviewers said about the game.
@snake2006 I hear you & I agree with supporting, but unfortunatly I have been burned too many times by buying new titles that I am uncertain about. I will give support to games I am sure about, for instance, I bought the Killzone 3 Helghast Edition. I buy many games, so I have to be selective because I can’t afford to take a risk. So what I will rent Splatterhouse for 1 day & if I am sold on it, you have my word that I will buy it new.
@Khimeran77
Please do. I am begging people to buy the game and I mean new not used. Ever new sale counts. I don’t want to wait 15 more years before it gets another crack at the spotlight.
Plus with the way this game ends, leaves it open for a sequel.
@snake2006 Thanks for your feedback! The game is about half the cost now so I might look into it. I just grabbed Killzone 3, Dragon Age 2 and Crysis 2, here in the last month, so I’ll grab Splatterhouse in a week or so.
@Khimeran77
It’s still Splatterhouse. It’s gorier than ever. Awesome revival. It plays like Splatterhouse 3, but there are 2d areas as well that are like the original 2 games.
Jim Cummings (Darkwing Duck) is awesome as the voice of the mask.
Only downside is the shitty emulation of the original 3 games. They are POORLY emulated, slow down, sound on the Genesis games are complete shit and slowed down.
@3981supersonic I got it now, I had for about a month and it’s fucking awesome
the 2 things I did not like is the long loading time but I can live with that and the last boss
was pretty lame.
It’s still realy awesome and fun =D
@MustyMarkus1 maybe the creators messed up it is the same mask i think but they did inted to make it the same so what i’m saying is it’s a mess up
@kNIGHTWING01 I’m confused, sometimes the mask looks like a hockey mask from friday the 13th but sometimes it looks like a skull! Is it still the same mask? Or is it a diferent mask?
Whatcha do get stuck with a bunch of wii points or some shit lol ..
@3981supersonic
I’m pretty sure I will =D
I’m planing to get it tomorrow when it releases.
it releases tomorrow in Sweden =)
