The House of the Dead - All Monsters Comparison - Side by Side (Original vs Remake)

[@BeruBeruIce]

Got to say, the originals got that eerie vibe and look in then that got lost in the remake, they're so clean on it that they kinda look like villains of cartoons. And even the ones with exposed muscles feel like they're made of wood and not muscle tissue, like they tried to censor a game about zombies

[@huytungnguyen119]

From artistic standpoint, the original looks way better in term of color design. What with modern game and their constant use of washed out colors, where's the nice striking contrast colors like the OG? Especially when in old game you can tell the bright enemy apart from dark background, while the new one they kinda blended in ugly brown blue?

[@johnmcmahon770]

A lot of the enemies in the original are a lot browner than in this video. I dunno if this is the PC port of the original or maybe the blood filter turns everything with a red tint into that fluorescent green but the arcade game is pretty guilty of things blending into the background too.

[@日本語学科者]

​@@johnmcmahon770this is the emulated arcade version.

[@johnmcmahon770]

@@日本語学科者 Is the blood settings changed to something besides red? The one at my local arcade doesn’t have these really bright colors.

[@0Qualit]

@@johnmcmahon770maybe it’s the tv screen. If it is indeed from your arcade I think it’ll look a lot more faded.

[@boi8328]

While the remake is definitely good graphics-wise, one of the things that detracts from the horror aspect of the zombies in the remake would be their faces, the original ones have a cold, indifferent and static face. This, coupled with the low-poly low-res models and the drawn-in shading give an uncanny macabre feel to them, which by itself is just a byproduct of the limited technology they had at the time. Meanwhile, the new ones do have detailed expressions and bodily features but most of them just have this silly-looking 'grrrrr angery' face that I just can't take seriously.

[@lawliet5940]

Dude that was exactly what I thought!

[@BeruBeruIce]

I just compared the new creatures with Scooby Doo villains monsters xD

[@lawliet5940]

Classic designs have no point of comparison, they are perfect

[@OkamiAmaterasu.]

Honestly I like the remake too, they're pretty faithful recreations to the original with some neat details.

[@johnmcmahon770]

The sounds are definitely an improvement over the original “Scared old geezer” attack noise lol

[@LykanPrototype]

The "scared old geezer" noises always made me laugh playing this game as a kid.

[@06024d]

The old Magician eats the new one.

[@imperiamon]

Tiene delito que la versión original se vea más violenta y aterradora que la nueva versión, que no niego que tiene mejor calidad gráfica, pero en comparación. La nueva paliceded en la violencia de los ataques y efectos, como si estuviera censurada. Pd: gracias por el vídeo!

[@ignotumperignotius630]

The original looks better overall but some of the little details are nice in the remake.

[@ergastolo4281]

The original is miles better, and not just in art direction and character design, but also gameplay wise, it just feels better and more satisfying to blast those horrendous creatures back to the Hell they came from. Every hit is SEEN and FELT on the creature's body, and the blood effect is just better too

[@invalidusertoken7152]

i love the colors in the original

[@sunmoon7437]

I still prefer the original. This was a game i played when i was 3 and a half years old. I still remember it vividly and i still play it from time to time. The remake is worse in every way possible

[@rowandownstream3539]

You should do a comparison of the System Shock remake

[@ernestw2474]

I will comment for some creatures not all: Neil: I like the original one because I like his black outfit with belt visible. Cyril: Remake's Cyril doesn't look impressive, they did not make him look original unlike in Scarlet Dawn. Bourbon: Original design looks better while the remake looks like they took inspiration from Last of Us because of the fungus on Bourbon's body. Vincent: Both look great, I really like how their hair and moustache look 80s and 90s. Harris: Both look great as well, taking 90s appearance, but I like original better for his moustache and hair. Sam: Original's better.

[@rockybalboa4593]

I personally really love this remake and hope they remake HOTD 3, 4, and finally release Scarlet Dawn on PS5. I really enjoy that one in arcades and don’t know why they haven’t ported it for home consoles. Unfortunately I missed 3 and 4 back during the PS3 days when they were available on PSN bc I hadn’t kept up with gaming. I only went back to it years later when the PS4 had come out.

[@i-lov3_c4ts-h8u]

Same here, I can't wait for hotd 2 and hotd 3 remakes!

[@abrumtherealtor5030]

HOTD 2 Remake trailer just came out

[@lyricbr7417]

OG Kageo, Gilbert and Harris are better than the Remake, but the rest still very similar to the originals. I think the creatures shouldn't have pupils, the lack of these in the original make them more scarier.

[@BeruBeruIce]

I agree, and the exposed muscles should look like exposed muscles. Not like they're made of wood like Groot

[@Plagueking-h2q]

I hope they remake the other games I hope they do because I really love house of the dead but will see

[@abrumtherealtor5030]

HOTD2 remake trailer just released

[@oscarprovencio6147]

I wish they did it like Halo 2 Anniversary where you can switch from new to old

[@afnanarian6666]

I would say the remake had better modelling of the zombies But the og had better movement and attacking pattern than the remake.....specially the remake couldn't model the idle movements of the zombies properly

[@eltio6840]

im just gonna say a lot of people here are nostalgia talking cuz reading a lot of comments make me say "did we play the same game?" , the original got a lot of good things that really stand even to this day but my main gripe with the remake is that doesnt add anything at all just pasted new weapons and called it a day , the atmosphere in the remake beats the og everyday , while some designs suck ass in the remake are others that are pretty good imo Gilmore is not just mr no skin i gotta love that the enemies have facial expesions now , the remake needed to step up and add actual new stuff , the problem with forever is that they are really lazy in that aspect when they get to make a remake they just re do the same game with almost no new freatures is the same thing somehow worst

[@kittysoftpaws826]

todos os inimigos , zumbis , monstros , e chefões do jogo house of the dead , e house of the dead : remake

[@fanfirdeboin9281]

Ebitan a the only redesign that bested the original, or that's just me.

[@baifomet6425]

The remake isn't as nearly as bad as they make it to be.

[@matteobiondi3340]

Sam and Ivan are surely twins.

[@mariocooper1996]

Honestly, the remake was good, (Better on PC though). Can’t wait to see how they do HOTD2 (if they do).

[@marcuslyles4999]

Old school were more brutal

[@DarkMage115]

Ok, tbh. I didnt know that the undead had names besides the bosses ofc.

[@ElatedSphee]

Honestly, i'd love house of the dead 2-4 to also get a remake.. or at least a steam release.

[@abrumtherealtor5030]

Wish granted (At least for HOTD2. The Remake Trailer has been released)

[@genshoryukenpou]

The original looks scary and terrifiying than remake

[@Joshua1234g]

90s version won

[@19ageha32]

Original Win!

[@gabrielalcaraz6613]

Lo unico que no me gusta del remake, es que los enemigos que muerden o golpean con cabezasos antes lo hacian estrellando la pantalla, ahora solo parece que te dan un beso de lejos, le falta mas agresividad a la hora de atacar

[@TenKromDTX]

I really didn't like the speed change in Magician, OG is fast af and felt really great to fight him along with the music, Remake is slow as a snail and the music is terrible, plus seems he lost some weight and got smaller. Another boss I didn't like is Chariot, in OG he's tall, fast, erratic and you felt small, but the Remake seems like a bad cosplay specially in his 2nd phase, too much detail for the flesh Another thing I didn't like is how the fully detailed faces made the enemies worse, the OG desings have those faces void of any emotion, almost like a permanent shock state, they felt uncanny, take Larry as an example, in the remake he looks like my neighbour that's 60 years old and has some STD, in the original he looks like a demon who's hiding under a fake skin. Look at Gilmore as another instance, why tf does he looks like the Lizard from Spiderman, I know there are reptiles in HOTD universe but wtf, the original is literally someone who's skin got ripped appartand there's only muscle, imagine seeing a body without skin. Also, take notes on how they stand, Larry looks like he has some back problems and his shoulders hurt, OG Larry is about to assault you, Samson hold his chainsaw on the air and you can't predict when is he going to attack; Simon looks sick with his V shaped torso, Remake is too rectangular; Kageo looks horrifying but in the remake he looks like a plant, the only one I think that looks better in the remake is the Ebitans, specially C, that still looks horrifying. I really hope there's a HOTD 2 remake, but I want it to be made with the proper animations and feelings.

[@abrumtherealtor5030]

Wish Granted. HOTD2 remake just had it trailer come out

[@TenKromDTX]

@abrumtherealtor5030 and it looks like shit

[@montyb.9779]

Good lord if you’re just gonna childishly complain about practically everything in the remake then just develop a secondary remake of the games yourself. There’s clear restrictions on certain details that was underway that just couldn’t follow through with the remake that was produced. Both the original and remake are good in their own separate ways despite the remakes limitations. I understand it’s your respective opinion but good lord, if people are just gonna crap on a game entirely then just remake the game yourself.

[@TenKromDTX]

@@montyb.9779 I'm just one individual giving it's opinion out of hundreds it doesn't have to affect you xd chill. Is not childish to have some perspective, childish would be to critize the game without having played before. The argument of "Make it yourself" it's plain stupid, that would be my own remake and of course it would have negative points that other people won't like, doesn't change anything. I liked the game in the end but I don't enjoy it due to my perspective on remakes, they should improve the original feeling of the original or make something new out of it, the remake kinda imitates the feeling I get with the original but very little, and it's good to reflect on certain points to have a more objective view of the matter. Also, they already announced HOTD 2 remake, of course I will play it and give my opinion as I did with this one with my own criteria that others can have as reference, they will choose to follow it or not or it will fall under the dozens of reviews that are useless.

[@thesamuraix881]

They lost their blue color 😭

[@christopherbarnes8661]

Yes the acting is better yes the model are better yes the music sounds more crip but it's miss the atmosphere and considering what is possable now to then for a technical stand ponit the original is better however that's not me saying that they didn't do a good job remaking with out the original code

[@migueldelgadillo944]

They honestly missed the point of why people loved it besides the gore and designs, Gameplay wise, it was the horrendous acting that gave it's charm. For some reason, nowadays, we have to remove the fun elements to make it dark and serious, like it's an F art house film!

[@evanvalenta1898]

Older just looks better, simple as.

[@kazomazo6646]

Anyone claiming that the old one is better, is irrefutable proof that some people are just simple-minded. They prefer things that are done with less care and at a more childish level of art, rather than appreciating works that show the effort and professional artistry of experienced artists, resulting in polished and sensible creations. It's like the difference between people who prefer prison beer over aged wine!!

[@devilslayerthesaintofkille1317]

More like comparing the previous land rover defender with the new one.

[@tejashnayak6090]

It's not about the art design its the physics and a less impactful gameplay making it bad. Speaking of less care i think the remaake is the one made with less care

[@JV-km9xk]

@@tejashnayak6090 zombies with literal realistic bodies compared to zombies with low polygon blocks were made with less care? you guys are delusional. childish too.

[@bansho7076]

more effort doesn't automatically mean better

[@migueldelgadillo944]

Pretentious essays won't change anyone's opinion. I'm personally tired of remakes. How about creating new HOD games instead of remaking them with actual new ideas?

[@ashyslashythehailtotheking626]

Remake is better than original
