Splatterhouse

New Splatterhouse Trailer Gets Even More Brutal
Written Friday, November 19, 2010 By Richard Walker
View author's profile

Splatterhouse was never this blood-drenched and extreme on the Mega Drive was it? We've never seen so much blood, except maybe in The Shining where the blood rides in the elevator and sloshes all about the place. It seems it's not called Splatterhouse for nothing then, as there's certainly plenty of splatter, that's for sure.

In the trailer, we see hockey mask-sporting musclebound hero, Rick Taylor squashing heads, punching beasts into chunky ketchup and then pulling heads clean off enemy's shoulders, with a big fountain of the red stuff spraying all over the place. Yes, there will be blood.

It all looks like some delightfully overblown, mindless violence and reckless fun though. Whether the actual game can deliver on the promise of more buckets of blood to come, will all be revealed when Splatterhouse releases on November 26th, 2010.

I didn't know Namco Bandai made this game. I wonder if you'll be able to beat the crap out of a Katamari. I've been watching this game for a while and I can't wait to play it.

It kind of bothers me that it doesn't even look like the blood is spraying onto the camera, it looks like it just appears on it. Maybe it has to do with how far away the camera is from the player?

Finally game that isn't afraid to show some gore. Feel like gore was all the rage in the 90's, then it just died. Glad it's making a comeback with this and the new Mortal Kombat.

The game looks pretty cool. I dont know why but it really reminds me of Brutal Legend (which seriously kicked ass) for some reason lol.

@10 Agreed - Blood plus Metal soundtrack = WIN

Would be ideal if this came with a 'proper' metal track list in the same way Brutal Legend did.

This just might be the game I've been looking for for years now. I've been longing for a game with stupidly excessive amounts of blood and gore and this looks to be it.

I cannot wait. :D

@14 took the words right out of my mouth as yes this game will no doubt be banned here in Australia either that or it will be heavily edited to fit a MA15+ rating.

Looks alright. This seems like a game that doesn't have a lot of replay value after you beat the game 1 time.

Dunno. From the trailers I've seen it looks like an *extremely* generic modern day beat-em-up like X-Blades or Dante's Inferno. Just without the quality of story Dante's Inferno has. It's huge catch and reedeming quality seems to be the fact it has a ginormous amount of blood and gore. And...well...if you're willing to drop $60 on x-blades that trades in a thong for gallons of blood? More power to you.

The music is hella tight. Thank God they're remixing some of the old classic tunes in a rock and roll style format.

I'd like to see the original without it being toned down (Like it was when it was a retail game) on XBLA.

As for the trailer I think it will be a rental to see what the game is like.

I remember playing the first Splatterhouse for the Sega Genesis. That game was loads of fun. This looks pretty good too, hopefully it can live up to the series ... even though they are no longer around. :(

#29 If I recall the Sega Genesis version of Splatterhouse had green blood and the turbo graphix 16 version had red blood.

I thought we'd all got over this kind of cheesy crap, not to mention that the blood effect hitting the screen is awful. If they're going to do that it should be as though a camera is following the player so the blood arcing off the hits splatters on the lens and not some random splashes that bear no 'semblence to the action.

Cant wait to play this, but I must admit, it doesn't look like it will have alot of variety other than kiling a bunch of enemies. Also I'm not all that fond of the level designs as of yet, they dont look "mansiony" enough like in the old Splatterhouse games.

lol, I read your comment before clicking the vid thinking 'can't be that much blood'.

Wow! they certainly didn't hold back. :)

Probably not day 1 purchase but will definitely pick up at some point

I'm not sure I like the whole jean shorts thing. I don't want to feel like I'm controlling a 'roid raging John Cena in a hockey mask. Hopefully there will be different skins for this game. As for the blood, there was another game the emphasized the amount of blood it displayed. That game is called Fairytale Fights.

That said, I really hope this game is good. I enjoyed the first game on Genesis and am mildly excited about this installment.

Looks interesting, i gotta give it that but it does look like it wouldn't have much of a story though I've never played the originals so I wouldn't have a clue. But alas I bet my 2 cents that Australia fucks this game up the ass.
