The only current system that could create a similar experience is the PlayStation 4, thanks to its Move controllers.

Plus, light guns - which were built around CRT technology - don't work on modern TVs (though a recent Kickstarter campaign hopes to rectify that problem). The peripherals eventually fell out of style. Light gun accessories were often available for older consoles, and the Nintendo Wii's remote could function as a similar device. When playing light gun games like House of the Dead, arcade goers aim plastic guns at the screen and shoot attacking enemies and hide behind cover. Forever Entertainment confirmed the rumors on Twitter and elaborated that 'No platforms or release dates have been confirmed,' so it sounds like the games won't be released anytime soon. This didn't sound far fetched the same company is working on remakes of Sega's cult rail-shooter games Panzer Dragoon and Panzer Dragoon: Zwei. These new versions will feature improved graphics and some slight gameplay tweaks, according to the post. Speaking of, House of the Dead also has the dubious honor of being adapted into a movie by infamous director Uwe Boll.Ī few weeks ago, Polish website Graczpospolita reported on an unverified claim that Forever Entertainment would publish remakes of the first two games in the series. Notably, many of the zombies in the games are fast-moving, which was unheard of in the mid '90s, long before 28 Days Later, which brought agile undead to the big screen. The stories, characters and dialog are absurd, but in the best way possible.

Originally released in 1996, House of the Dead leans hard into its campy style. Publisher Forever Entertainment will bring some zombie-blasting arcade action home with re-releases of House of the Dead and House of the Dead 2, Sega's iconic light gun games. But while nothing can match the experience of exchanging a $10 bill for a pile of quarters and binging on some games with your friends, many of the classics have made their way to consoles and PCs.
