At least to me it does. I just took a look at this new video on kotaku. 
  
It feels like another piece of shit "Rated M for Mature" game. 
At first, I was a bit bummed that the new Splatterhouse was not coming to Wii, but now I seriously don't care. The first game played slowly. It had atmosphere. I fought weird things. I just don't understand how video games like these are made. I don't understand how nobody at Namco was like "Hey guys, this game seriously looks like shit. What happened to the old Splatterhouse spirit?". 
 
But then again, it will just be another cliche'd out video game...

This game started up when gore " was big" and well..its been in the works for a nice chunk of time and that fad is gone

That period was the early 90s.  This game did not start development in the early 90s. What the hell are you talking about? "

Never had any expectations for this anyways so to me this looks as good as it could get. Does kinda look like fun, but I don't think I'll be picking it up though.

Its a joke about how long its been in development.  "

ARE YOU KIDDING?!  This, along with Mortal Kombat and Doom, helped created the idea of Mature video games!!!   
 
This game looks great!  It's not trying to be innovative.  It's trying to be a solid reboot of the franchise, meaning it features over-the-top gore and solid platforming and combat.  I haven't seen anything that makes it look like that isn't being accomplished. 
 
Moreover, this is definitely the kind of game that is being made more for the nostalgics like me who remember pumping quarters in the arcade and blasting away on our Genesis and TurboGrafx with the games. 
 
Also, quite a few of the folks at BottleRocket were brought on to Namco Bandai and have continued working on this game.  That studio was going through financial troubles long before this, as they had already had two games get cancelled before Splatterhouse, including a game based on DC's Flash.  They never got shafted.  Namco Bandai just wasn't willing to talk about the specifics in the hopes that no one would see the internal issues that were going on with BottleRocket.

well for something to be disappointing you had to actually have hope in it to begun with 

I hate to say this but the Splatter House games weren't very good. The first 2 games were harder then hell platformers that were made to eat quarters like Tic-Tacs and the third game was a mediocre brawler.  The only reason these games are remembered fondly is because of the gore and the fact that the protagonist looked liked Jason Vorhees.  The remake looks like a mediocre character driven action game much akin to God of War or Devil May Cry.  
The problem with Golden Axe: Beast Rider is that no one gave a shit about the female all my friends would fight over who got to play as the dwarf.  Plus how the fuck do you make a Golden Axe game with no Co-Op ?
