Quantcast



Namco Bandai's Splatterhouse is going to be a gory, violent affair. I mean, the game has the word "splatter" in the title. Not convinced? The publisher has released about 4 minutes of in-game footage which shows the game's muscle-bound, death mask wearing Rick pounding on baddies and other things that look like vaginas.

Jim played the game at E3 and seems to have a good time with it, as it met his expectations as a game where you mindless smash things to bits with blunt objects and slide things into pieces with chainsaws. I, on the other hand, was less impressed with an earlier build I played before E3. But again, that was then... this is now. As if you don't already, hold Jim's opinion in higher regard than mine on this one.

The first video of the brutality can be seen above; the other two are after the jump. Like what you see?

It looks rough but fun. Very fun. Also, I hope they minimize that generic butt metal music. I hated that shit in 1996 when I watched an extreme snow boarding video and I still hate it.

The mask commenting on the kills is annoying as hell.

I don't know if i was expecting a lot, but this is somewhat disappointing. Damn you high expectations.

Destructoid, please link the age gate with individual accounts so we don't have to re-type the commercial for every M-rated trailer.

Looks horrible and bordom should set in after 15 minutes.

Honestly, this looks like a less refined Mad World, especially with the mask "commentating" on your performance...It has environmental kills and everything. I think I will have to get my hands on it before I make a purchase, which is a shame, I love the Splatter House Series.

It's definitely a bit clunky and rough, but crazy fun at the same time. I really dig the atmosphere, it's like over the top t(h)rash horror slasher straight from the deepest rotten 80's arsehole. Mix it with platforming elements and some puzzles, add a pinch of exploration and holy shit, that's one of my most anticipated games of this year, really, the shit caught me off-guard.
Finally I have something to look forward to except for the Last Guardian.

Even if the game will remain at this stage of development when it ships, with all it's clunkiness, I'll be okay with that. The more it looks like shit the better, I'll have tons of fun with this baby.

The mask sounds a lot like Jim Cummings, the voice for Darkwing Duck (as well as a shitload of other disney characters)

Some of the effects are a little underwhelming, like those monsters that got microwaved just resulting in little red puffs. However, I do like the gimmick of Rick and the Mask constantly chatting, with the Mask presumably spurring Rick on to be more brutal and violent.
