Back in May, SEGA announced that an extended edition of The House of the Dead: Overkill would be coming to PS3.
We didn’t know much about it then, apart from that the revamped version of the arcade shooter would feature Move support, be remastered in High Definition, have support for 3DTVs and also feature two brand new scenarios.
Well, thankfully, Mike Kebby has brought us all we need to know via the PlayStation Blog. Firstly, here’s the B-movie inspired boxart:
Mike has also told us just how the PS3 version has been upgraded, stating that as well as being fully remastered in HD and 3D with Move and Sharp Shooter support, it has two brand new levels, an exclusive crossbow weapon, baby mutants (what more could you want?), a Hardcore mode which ramps up the difficulty by only allowing mutants to be killed by headshots and a Classic mode in which you can only use the AMS Magnum weapon.
The end boss fight has also been extended and the game will feature online leaderboards for scores and stats, collectibles which unlock bonuses such as comic pages, artwork and music. In addition to all of this, the boss fights and cutscenes have both been improved.
It looks as though SEGA have really fleshed out The House of the Dead: Overkill, and there are still more details to come! Until then, take a look at the screenshots below for an idea of what the game will look like.
