We've seen hide nor hair of Namco Bandai's Splatterhouse remake lately, but nothing can hide from the Internet for long, and copies of the game are going on sale at this very moment. The only downside is that you're not supposed to own it at all. Oh, and it costs $675.
Yes, you read that correctly. A man from Michigan thinks that his early (and possibly illegal) games are so valuable that people are willing to part with almost $700 to get their hands on one. The game is part of a package of pre-release material that user "Dulledblade" is offering on ASSEMbler.
"Unreleased Completed Beta of Splatterhouse," advertises Dulledblade. "The game can be played like normal or with debug options that can be accessed via the select button. The intro video was comprised of the rough animations, but better than a story board. There is also a couple physics test rooms and other special tests that can be performed."
We don't know how complete the beta is, and whether it's based on the Bottlerocket code or code developed after the project was given to Namco Bandai's in-house team. It's for the Xbox 360, in any case, so if you have a developer kit and more money than brains, go get your Splatterhouse on. We don't recommend it, though.

What can I say, I'm filthy, filthy, filthy rich.
I could see this as something he'd want, but I bet he's already seen this post since those forums are his home.
Now where's the torrent?
And lulz @PappaDukes.
Not if this guy has anything to say about it.
700 bucks for the actual game would be bad enough, but for a beta?
yeah, we're the idiots all right. too bad we all aren't geniuses that like to buy illegal products on record, because that's so smart its stupid not to do.
