Rise of Nightmares : First screens (Kinect Horror game)

Sega will release its Kinect action game Rise of Nightmares for Xbox 360 in Japan this spring. The game is said to be a Kinect version of The House of the Dead, featuring zombies and monsters running around the stage, and you battle them with weapons you find in the mansion, like brass knuclkes, knives, hatchets and chainsaw, or simply fight with bare fist. The story begins with protagonist's wife been kidnapped by monster, you chase them to a mansion in the forest, which is filled with zombies and monsters.

since it's a kinect game I want to see how it plays not how it looks, does it have lag etc etc etc...

[FrigidDARKNESS]

if you played House Of The Dead 1&2 this game is that but you're using your body movements instead of an on screen gun.

Rails.....RAILS!!!!!

Looks like House of the Dead meets Condemned. A winning formula on paper, but I would like to see some gameplay footage first.

rails........what a suprise

like I said before. Casual and broken

House of the Dead was on rails but was fun so people could enjoy it if executed correctly.

[guigsy]

Funny how people have never had a problem with on-rails games until the release of Kinect.

Bubbles for you. People just like to look for any excuse. Never mind that Kinect is less then six months old and they haven't even began to tap into it's capabilities.

They just want to hate on something.

every on-rails game before kinect used a controller like a light gun etc., you didn't have movement but you had accuracy, i think that's the biggest difference. Time Crisis is my favorite and even with that you've can take cover using a pedal but in the end it's not a game i'd play everyday. I think that's what bothers most people it's a system that should be in arcades promoted as much more.

it might be alittle weird cause ur punching and swinging ur arms instead of aiming while on rails. but it could work, if they make it so u walk around on your own it could be awesome

[StifflerK]

This sounds like a next-gen x-rated version of House of the Dead - which could be great. Hopefully they'll release a gameplay trailer soon.

Project Draco is basically the spiritual successor to Panzer Dragoon , as Child of Eden is to Rez.
I'm kinda hoping Codename D is the next Killer 7 .

Either way , it's good to see good games on the way for kinect owners!

Look's pretty interesting. Solid mature title that I'm going to have to check out.

Eventually people are going to have to stop using "On Rails" as an excuse like it's the most horrible thing ever.

If a game is done right and fun who gives a crap?

I mean games like Heavy Rain shouldn't even be considered a game, but you hardly saw anyone complain about paying full price for a "Game" that had no game elements.

This looks interesting and it was one of the original reasons I bought a Kinect. Glad were seeing some solid titles, Project Draco looks good too as I was a Panzer Dragoon fan as well.

[strickers]

You have no idea what a game is.Did you even play Heavy Rain?
This game could be fun but why assume the games will be good.That's worse than assuming they will be bad,since Kinect so far is a limited controller.
The thing that made so many classics good were the responsive and accurate controls.
There is a reason why so few on rails,1st person beat em ups exist...........they are rarely any good.
I swear some of you think gaming begun with the first Xbox.

[Raven_Nomad]

Ya, got it on Gamefly. About an hour and a half in I was seriously wondering if I would get some game with my "Video game".

I don't think gaming started with the Xbox, but I am smart enough to realize the possibilities on Kinect. It's so accurate and can really pick out features, so in the future it would be easy enough to control certain movements in a FPS so that it wouldn't have to be on rails.

5 months isn't a ton of time to use it to it's full potential.

I also said this game looks good, I didn't say it would be the best game ever, but as with many games I'd give it a try and it definitely looks interesting to me.

Where does it say on rails? I'm missing something here...

I can see many ways you could make a kinect game without it being on rails (ie put leg forward to move forward, point hand to look around). Imagination is the limit here.

Famitsu 360(april 2011) also talked about this game

they said this game will not be on-rails
