Well, heeeeeeere's Jenny! Now slap on that Terror Mask, grab the nearest baseball bat and go save her before she's turned into a monster's meat pie midnight snack. Two action shots of Rick plus Dr. Westa few of the ugly beasties from Namco Bandai's upcoming horror action game (also in nice 3D render form – not as cute as Jenny, though) are below the jump. The game ships out next week (and I can't wait to play it).
That cover art practically screams “Hide the kids, the wife and any nearby pets.” Hell, you KNOW what you’re in for based on the image, that’s for sure. November 23, 2010 is the release date (so the game misses Halloween – big deal!). New and insanely gory screens going up on my other blog later today, by the way.
…Hell, those recent Splatterhouse screens inspired me even more than usual, so I actually whipped up a quickie banner a few days early. Hope you like it. I may do another next week. Then again, I’ll be busy with a ton of stuff including getting ready for NYCC, so I may not run a new banner at all.
We shall see…
The three screens I can run on this more family-friendly blog are below. As for the rest… well, you know where to find them, don't you? Only a few more weeks to go, ladies and germs! More gallery updates to come shortly, as Namco Bandai seems to be adding even more gorgeously gruesome screens as the game approaches its ship date.
More magnificently (and only mildly) gory Splatterhouse screens for you to pore over. This one is looking better and better with each new batch. Keep those fingers and toes crossed that we actually see this one hit stores before the end of the year. I can’t wait to put Rick through his paces, that’s for sure…
Well, well, well… Namco Bandai’s upcoming relaunch of their seminal horror/action franchise is looking mighty tasty lately and very much improved over those screens from a few months back. Look at all that ketchup – yum! Rick is looking beefy, the monsters are meaty and the red stuff most certainly paints the floors, walls and pretty much everything else.
“This time, we didn’t forget the gravy…” indeed. Q3 2010 can’t come soon enough for me, that’s for sure.
Now, if only NamBan remembers the hardcore fans and actually sticks the arcade version on the game disc somewhere as well as make the great Sega Genesis sequels available as DLC (or heck, on the disc… pretty pleeeeeeeeeeeeease?), this one just might be near perfect… or as good as it gets for us Splatterhouse junkies.
Just when you thought it was dead and gone (or at least delayed indefinitely to the ninth circle of development hell), Namco Bandai unearths a few new screens and info from Splatterhouse, set for a Q3 2010 release on the PS3 and Xbox 360. Given all the stormy stuff that took place during the game’s bumpy early development process, it’s excellent to see the project still going strong and looking quite nice (well, “nice” in a gory, horror game sort of way).
Now that this is an in-house development deal, my one suggestion to Namco Bandai (and I’m sure they’ve gotten this request already) is to PLEASE add some awesome bonuses to this one for us fans of the original games! It would be really fantastic to see either the Arcade version of the original or perhaps the Genesis versions of Splatterhouse 2 and Splatterhouse 3 as bonuses. Heck, how about the very fun Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti, a hilarious Famicom game with great SD graphics and a pretty funny storyline? If that’s not possible, at LEAST give us a gallery of classic and new images that’s high-res with a zoom feature so folks can check out the art and not have to squint their eyeballs out of their sockets…
