Sometimes even with the Live Arcade's plethora or classic side-scrolling beat em' ups it's good to grab something new and relive the old formula with a little modern day tech. added in for the hell of it. It's fun to see old franchises brought back and even if it -isn't- what sum people expect it to be... who gives a damn. The people who know the franchise and have an idea of what to expect (I think) will be hard up to being disappointed. If it moves... kill it! Grab the 2x4 and splatter it up!

I F bomb loved the old Splatterhouse games, got them on my virtual Wii, hope this one has the same power.
They shood yust make the old school series in HD and more gritynes, blood and all that shit rather than making a remake or reamgination.

Looks fun and with enough variation in the music and not just one or two track looped together could make it very entertaining. For me its what made Brutal Legend so much fun when you just would pound on enimies with the right music just got me smiling manically.

I'm glad this thing made it, I was worried after hearing a while back about a beta disc of it being hocked online.  http://worthplaying.com/article/2010/1/14/news/71532/

Yea, kinda cool trailer.  Im standing on the fence on what to say about it.  Hope it turns out to be a good game, but not holding my breath, and doubt ill touch it unless it gets solid 8 reviews.

In order for that logic to work, Dante's Inferno has to be good. 
 
And honestly, the gameplay looks nothing like it.

Woot, so glad this sequel/revision didn't get lost (when it switched studios) as it looks awesome.

Nah, definitely not Steve Blum. A bit too smooth and not gravelly enough. I do recognize it, though. I've heard him do commercials before.
 
Anyway this looks pretty cool! Neat to see a horror game with this sort of exaggerated aesthetic. I never got to play the original Splatterhouse, though.

Can you punch the demons into the wall?  Because until then, I'm not int- oh, you can.  Awesome.  Great.   Pre-ordering now.

Also, the heavy line-art style graphics and masked shirtless dudes just make me think of Borderlands.

Listen up EA, Capcom, Ubisoft, well all of you at this point, THIS is how you do bonus content. It doesn't matter when I buy it, whose store you've inked a pre order deal with, whether I buy it new, and definitely not fucking 'Locked On-disc Premium content'. 
 
Well done Namco, whatever people may think about the old Splatterhouse games, at least now they can say they've actually played them.

They showed Rick's face? 
Damn, they broke the unwritten law of Splatterhouse. 
 
Anyway, this series so far is one my cult favourites. I'll get this just for the inclusion of SH1, 2 and 3.

I.... am interested. At least he has some sort of valid motivation, they are demony things, his girlfriend and all that, and the fact that his guts were all over the floor until the mask offered him otherwise... oh and all that blood... mmm... if this doesn't cost masses, count me in!

Seems like a video-game-ass video game premise.  Might be fun.

I'll still probably get it, but I kind of wish they didn't use the cell shading. It looked more gruesome without it.

Yeah, $40 for this and both of the original Splatterhouse's on the disc sounds more than fair. 
 
Of course, though, they'll try to get $60 for it and fail miserably.

Ugh, not liking the cel shadesque outlines on this one. I think it looked much better without it.

I also thought it sounded familiar. I'm sure I've heard the actor in dozens of cartoons since the 90's.
