Quantcast



Namco Bandai has released its official E3 trailer for Splatterhouse. This retro revival has had a troubled development to say the least, but I'm still keeping a faint glimmer of hope for the game's creative success. As a man with a soft spot for the old games, I would love a genuinely good Splatterhouse reboot. 

I'm fairly certain I'm scheduled to check this game out at E3 next week, so I'll definitely keep my fingers crossed. It's really not hard to make a good Splatterhouse game -- just make sure there's lots of punching and blood. Easy, right? 

Trailer's pretty hot, at the very least.

Cool concept, but it doesn't look like they're trying anything new with the combat. I'll probably rent it.

I loved the old games. I hope there are still quotables at the beginning of each level.

I had been worried about how the actual game might be, but it actually doesn't look that bad in this trailer.

And Jim Cummings as the voice of the Mask = more good news.

2D platforming? On my consoles? This is a good thing. Makes me far more interested in the game than I was. Previously.

Righteous. I didn't know it was going to be a definite reboot. So far, looking nice and bloody. I like it.

Also, lol at brief The Mask moment.
