Sony Details Move Enabled House Of The Dead: Overkill – Extended Cut
Publishers SEGA and their developmnt partners Headstrong Games have today unveiled a horde of details for their upcoming Sony PlayStation 3 exclusive – House of the Dead: Overkill – Extended Cut. The game is a re-vamped version of the Wii shooter, released several years ago. Prior to E3, Sony announced that a Move-enabled version of the game would be making its way onto their console, this being the first House of the Dead game that will be released in high definition. To make the Zombie-slaying action even more terrifying, the game offers 3D suppport.
Well now they have released a series of images that show off the B-Movie inspired artwork from the retail box and the marketing materials. This is very much in the same vein as the artwork for the Wii release, but it has been spruced up a bit to emphasise the fact that the female character – Varla Gunns – will play a larger role in this Extended Cut. Longtime House of the Dead hero Agent G is also represented, as is Samuel L. Jackson-a-like, Detective Washington.
Here are some of the features that will be exclusive to the PlayStation 3 version:
- PlayStation Move and Sharp Shooter compatible
- OVERKILL fully remastered – available in high definition graphics and stereoscopic 3D for the first time ever
- Extended with two additional levels not in the original game
- Exclusive crossbow weapon
- New baby mutant type
- New Hardcore mode – mutants can only be killed with headshots
- New Classic mode – play through the entire game using only the AMS Magnum
- Exclusive missing reel – an extended boss fight with “Mother” in “OVERKILL”, the game’s final level
- Online leaderboards to track high scores and stats
- Collectibles to grab throughout all levels to unlock bonus materials; comic pages, music tracks, 3D models and 2D artwork
- New PlayStation trophies to unlock
- Improved boss fights in all levels
- New and improved cut-scenes using motion capture

If I'm not playing on a good Adventure Game - still longing for the long-past Golden Age of the genre, when Lucasarts and Sierra ruled supreme - you might find me searching for a local arcade, in the hopes that it still houses titles such as Sunset Riders or WindJammers.
