the scene where papa caesar slaps jasper's glasses off his face and then it immediately cuts back to jasper with the glasses still on is one of the funniest things i've ever seen in a video game

never forget, this was on the wii, completely fucking uncensored, so good

I played through this whole game on the Wii with my sister when we were teenagers. Good memories. The "intentionally bad" shtick is really funny when done right. Jasper getting his glasses knocked off and then immediately having them again in the next shot is hysterical. I think Garth Marenghi's Darkplace is the best example of that kind of comedy.

This game is so grindhouse, I half expect Machete to just come out blasting without any explanation.

When this game came out on the Wii, it was the time when all the Grindhouse thing was really popular and really cool (even though it was subsequently done to death and lost popularity very quickly.) I was a huge zombie fan from when I was young but was unemployed at the time and wanted this game badly. I think I ate nothing but bread, jam, sweetcorn and instant noodles for a week so I could afford to buy it. Happy days!

This game during 2009 holds the guiness world record for saying lots and lots of f bombs and swears in a video game until Mafia 2 breaks the record in 2010 and GTA 5 in 2013.

The extended version of Thotd Overkill has extra levels were you play as Varla and Candi that weren´t on the Wii version, also has other changes like the cutcscenes who are slighty altered. The game had 3D (at least the Ps3 version, i don´t know the steam version because i have the Ps3 ver.) If you had a Tv that supported it (I think that affected a little the game due to not many having that kind of tvs at the time, i guess). The game also has a "Director´s cut" were you play the same levels but they are longer with new areas and even other stuff like the final boss ,who (originally) there is a moment were the game "cuts" to were G and Isaac get miniguns from nowhere, the "Director´s cut" shows how they get them. There is more stuff but i think i already said enough for the game, personally, i really like this game. Playing often with my brothers and laughing about the jokes and the sometimes unnecessary excesive swearing.

I genuinely have to wonder how Uwe Boll managed to screw this franchise up. Like it's practically tailor-made for schlock filmmakers and yet... Way off-topic, but it baffles me every time.

6:50 your deadpan voice during that joke delivery made me laugh so hard.

I want to see you finish the game. I really like the scene of Caesar slapping Jasper's glasses off and immediately shows Jasper still wearing his glasses. Also, one of the zombie strippers using to the pole to kick the player off the stage. The Strip Club level reminds me of Kyonyuu Dragon.

I love Matt's content in general but there is just something about October that makes things more exciting...Literally didn't watch anything the whole week so I could binge on my day off.

HOTD: Scarlet Dawn actually did make its way to the US at Dave & Busters! I managed to find a unit in Oregon in December 2019 and had a playthrough of it!

Loved the intentional jab at grind house when Ceaser knocked of Jasper's glasses and it reappeared back on his face in the very next shot 🤣

"Are you holding my hand?" "Yes."

We need a new House of The Dead game

A friend of mine was high on ecstasy and had a freakout about halfway through this game the first time we played it and I went home and we never played it again, good times.

I recommended Typing of the Dead when the teachers gave our class shit for terrible spelling and too many typos. My teachers bloody hated me.

9:36 ok so Matt clearly still pays attention to Darksydephil LOL

Playing this game with my two friends in high school was one of the most fun experiences i have ever had. Spent almost all night playing this

In Overkill extended, you can unlock a minigun with infinite ammo and your combo doesnt decay as badly as the magnum does because it decays after 5 seconds with no kills

if you have the means, play house of the dead 2 and 3 please! I have serious memories of playing this series at the arcade with the guns and would love to see it again. thanks matt for your content. always fun to watch no matter what form it takes!

I love campy, nonsensical, arcade rail shooters. This is how they should be. Silent Scope was my shit back in the day personally, although it was NOTHINGGGG like this lol.

wait what, typing of the dead overkill IS House of the Dead Overkill on PC wtf

Words cannot express how much fun this game creates. I had it on PS3 and it made me laugh so damn hard every time I fired it up. This was a great game to have around when my Army buddies were over when I was still enlisted. Beered up soldiers and a campy B movie game make for a fun time.

Love that you can timestamp this to the years immediately after "Grindhouse" came out. There was a glut of exploitation film adaptations and...ya know, a lot of them were SURPRISINGLY good. Funny enough: playing the original Typing of the Dead REALLY lets you know how much of a quarter muncher those light gun games really were. I type REAL damn fast, and even I couldn't keep up with the boss hits.

Finished work on Friday and come home to this!? Pinch me I must be dreaming! YEEE

""oh nothing nothing nothing" - Candi Stryper

HotD Scarlet Dawn did in fact come out. They have one in an arcade near me and its awesome. Multiple weapons and paths and the loud theater style cab makes it a great experience.

Scarlet Dawn was released 2018 in the US. At Dave and Buster's apparently. Means nothing to me as a UK person. Couldn't find anything on ports to Pc etc.

I remember when Woolie played this last year. Glad ur playing it too Matt.

I love this game so godamn much, I don’t consider it cannon in the original hotd timeline, but it’s quotable, and filled with soul

You need to get an Aimtrak or Sinden. They work flawlessley with this game.

From what I looked up. House of the dead scarlet Dawn is still in japan arcades. Sadly with Covid-19 we may not see any American release for a while. Even tho it's been about 2 years for it to come here in America.

One of my favorites back on the Wii. Had no idea it was included in the Typing of the dead game on pc.

I would love to see you finish this, as a fan of your work in general. This was a laugh riot!

I know people like to meme all over rail-shooters nowadays, but man was I happy to get a Wii U and some gun mounts for the wiimotes when I got that console. I hadn't ever gotten a Wii but I love light gun games at the arcade, so one of my first purchases for my Wii U was a Wii copy of House of the Dead 2 and 3, along with that one Dead Space rail shooter. They're not deep games but holy shit did it feel nice to just have that in my home without dropping tons of money on a HotD or Time Crisis cabinet.

I got this game on a whim for my PS3 and its one of the funniest games I've played in awhile

Played this co-op with school buddies back when it was new. Miss those days...

The Wii was a haven for light gun games. Overkill wasn't just grandiose parody, the mechanics and polish were tight.

Didn't this game get a world record for most uses of the "f" word? I feel like that was a thing that happened.

I for one would mother fuckin' love for you to finish this mother fuckin' masterpiece. I didn't even know that you could get both with one purchase.

I've got both the Typing of the Dead games, one of which is Overkill. I don't think I knew that this version of the game was also on the Overkill I got. I don't really know how much fun it would be with a mouse, but the typing versions of the games are amazing... although I'm sure they suck if you're horrible on a keyboard. I knew all those typing classes I took growing up would payoff bigtime.

I remember having the original Wii version and a Nyko Perfect Shot shell It was quite comfortable but the 30FPS and drops below can ruin the momentum. For the re-release I only have access to the PC version, otherwise it's quite fluid and works well enough The trick to getting the best combo in the game: Use the shotgun or handcannon. Literally breaking the game in half.

love this game , hate that my copy vanished into thin air...

My freakin' ears would like you to continue.

You can also get this game on the PS3 but it does not have typing of the Dead but on the bright side you can use a move controller with a gun attachment

You can use a wiimote and a dolphin bar to emulate a mouse pointer. That’s how I played this version.

I have seen scarlet dawn here in the states at a round 1 arcade

I used to play this tons on my wii back in the day, was such an awesome funny game =P Gotta love Matt bringing back the classics as usual ;)

I've played Scarlet Dawn at a Dave and Busters. It might be exclusive to them, at least in regards to the states.

20:50 didn't know this game took place in downtown Montreal

Please finish this, this is incredible so far!

Hell motherfuckin' yes you should finish this game! It is hilariously cheesy motherfucking fun. In all seriousness, loved this game, I pretty much 100% it on the Wii, this version is actually harder as well, still quite a good game. Too bad it seems the studio shut down, I would've loved to see them make some sort of sequel to this style of HotD games.

27:03 Not monkeys, babies... Zombie mutant babies...

This is absolutely my favorite game from the Wii. Pls finish it

I've played scarlet dawn at dave & busters in nebraska

This game was so much fun

I played Scarlett dawn at sega joyopolis in Japan. It was fun. But I don't know why they didn't get released to sega arcade one and two

when I was a Teen my friend brought this game and we play thoug it like in two sessions, it was so fun and the coop feeling of just shooting the zombies out of the way of each other felt so goddamn great and the story if this game was so fun

now you gotta play typing of the dead overkill

Okay real talk super thanks for mentioning this because now I want to buy the game. I thought it was only a typing game.

Crimson Dawn came out sometime last year in the US

Would love to see you finish this. It's been so long since I played this. If you have the Dead space extraction game to I would love to see that. I only ever got to play the demo on the wii.

Also full auto weapons have a more generous combo timeframe since its based on time before your next kill over accuracy

I also didn't knew this was on Steam.

Yes finish the game!!!

Yes Please Matt finish. For 'Tis the season!

the combo multiplier of this game is actually the shotgun lol

i played this one when it came out, the whole strippers thing was a dlc launched some time after, and it would play all missions in one go, then the gold overkill remaster ultimate pack launched, since the strippers dlc was included, they decided that mixing the missions was a good idea, instead of keeping both story lines separated like in the original.

You could dual wield Wiimotes to dual wield guns in single player on the Wii!

I'm getting hit with nostalgia.

I do know there ps3 version supported 3D both built in 3D tv 3D and the 3D that makes ya wear two tone glasses Which they did go out of the way for in that port to make some use of . Shame they didn’t keep it in the PC version option to use the two tone 3D

The game actually does need all the f-bombs. Particularly the motherfuckers. The last boss literally crawls back up into his own giant zom - I mean, "mutant" mother, and Washington doesn't say mother fucker. It's a thousand setups for a single payoff. It's *glorious*.

I still prefer the original Wii version to this Extended Cut. While the graphics are definitely nicer I feel like they left out a few of the funnier acting moments from the original version and replaced it with the over-the-top wobbly animations. Plus there's a lot of jank here and there. Also HOTD: Scarlet Dawn came out in arcades back in 2018! If you have a Dave and Buster's near ya they should have an arcade machine there!

Ahh...The House of the Dead: Overkill, the black sheep of the series that either people really love for its grindhouse aesthetic, gore, and overall ridiculousness, or hate it so much for being a far cry in its tone and story compared to the previous 4 games. So divisive, that whether its canon or not is still shrouded in mystery lol

Man I enjoyed this cheesefest on the ps3

What is that outro song

Holy shit! Those zombie babys were definitely not in the wii version!

i just... this game is something, and i need to see how it ends

Man I always hoped Scarlet Dawn would come to PS4, HOTD4's PS3 port was solid.

If they release a Dead Space collection i want them to include the mobile game. It was actually really good

It would be cool if you finish the game. You know, in the spirit of Halloween.

Wait, so I don't have to track down move controllers?

Suffer like G did!

Isaac Washington is the same voice actor as Tyrrell in the Ride to Hell 1% retributions! www.imdb.com/filmosearch?role=nm4636043&job_type=actor

I loved this game, bought it for both Wii and PS3. Shame the studio behind it just does work for hire stuff now.

I recognize Kristen Schaal's voice

You should play until dawn rush of blood which is the best railshooter ever :-D

they could do with porting them onto vr, they would sell :D

i miss the light gun days. if theres a game i would buy 100% for vr..it has to be point blank by namco. nothing scripted. all random. always fun. a lot of replayabilty

Weird thing I just played this game

Arcade release? This is a 6 hour game, Matt.

Jersey Glen over here, the classy part of the USA. We have a strip clubs plague. WE did before the plague plague.

Anyone else wish they'd remaster old lightgun shooters into VR?

Midway’s CarnEvil playthrough when?

Did it come out on consoles?

you mean Scarlet Dawn don't you sweet?

Wasn't the girl in this based on UK model Vicki Blows? 😍 (Real name)

Has anyone told you that you sound like LevelCapGaming?

How about we get a dead space 4????
