I hate1UPright now, sitting on top of all that deliciousSplatterhouseinfo and slowly distributing scraps to the masses like capricious Roman emperors from on high. Ah, screw it, I will take whatever I can get.
The above image is Rick’s new in-game look for the Xbox 360/PS3 resurrection ofSplatterhouse. It’s a slight departure from the more blatant Voorhees rip-off, especially the Hulk Hogan arms, but I can dig it. It has a hyper-real look that should hopefully mean we’ve got some ridiculously over-the-top, cartoony gore to look forward to.
In addition, it has been revealed thatSplatterhouseis to be developed by Bottlerocket, the team that brought usMark of KriandRise of the Kasai. I wasn’t actually all that keen onKri, but I know it’s considered a generally solid action game, so it’s good to see the team has had some success in the past when it comes to combat-driven gameplay. Finally, the game is due for release mid-2009.
That’s all they’ll tell us, the fiends. WhenEGMhits, someone be a dear and scan everything in for your humble, UK-bound writer, please.
