That looks good, I like how they know and actually promote the fact that it's purely B-movie quality. :lol:

Nice little homage to Grindhouse. Shame, the actual game looks rubbish, it's not even on a par with HOTD2, let alone 3.

I think that looks ace, actually.

Christ knows how some people have managed to gauge the precise graphical quality from a (deliberately) poor-quality vid, but there you go.

Pretty much what I think, not a massive fan of HotD I admit but the game itself looks a bit too much like RE Umbrella Chronicles. But lets be honest you cant knock a zombie in a candy floss machine.

It's all about the textures.

or lack of them, in this case.

What's a 'mayne'?

Are you talking about lions?

Or possibly horses?

Hmmm... interesting.

Due to the current standard of Sega I can't see it being much good, but at least its an original game.

Agreed with this. I loved the trailer purely for the effects if anything.

Great trailer, but light gun games are sooooo mid 90s. Although they don't use light* anymore, so that's new.

*OK OK, I mean in the visible spectrum. Sheesh!

So far this year, I have eaten NO mince pies.

Well, it looks to me like they've gone for a pseudo-digitised look. Either way, you're screencapping a poor-quality vid, and even so, it still looks better than HOTD2.
