house of the dead is a pretty fucking good game thank ya very much
Yes, House of The Dead is pretty fucking good, but that's HoTD; A game that was always designed, from the conceptual and story point-of-view, to be a cheesy, brainless arcade light gun game. I don't see how that correlates, in any way, with going back to a few traditional survival-horror games and turning them into brainless arcade light gun games.
Capcom have tried it enough times before, and they've always been crap. I predict that this game will be getting 6/10s from reviewers, just like it's mediocre fore-bearers. I also predict that it won't be able to match HoTD at it's own game. It'll fall far short of HoTD4.
Resident Evil is not, and should never be a light gun game. Furthermore, 'Chronicles seems to be loosing out on the one cool thing about the previous Resi-light-gun fuck ups; It will lack a light gun. So instead of playing a mediocre HoTD pretender with a plastic gun in your hand, and feeling slightly cool, you'll be playing with this plasticy thing which looks and feels exactly like a TV remote, and nothing like a gun.
I'd put money on this game being mediocre/average, in fact. I mean, it's no coincidence that everyone's well more excited about the RE4 port than this game.
