We've seen Biggy Man, the Bore Worm Queen, Deadman Fat from part 2 and I think I remember Dan Tovar saying that mirror Rick also makes an appearance. We've also seen lots of nods and references to the original games so far.

So now my question is, what are you hoping to see return?

Personally I'd love to see the Necromancer boss fight return, or the Bore Worm gut room from the end of stage one. I'm also hoping there's some kind of Hell Chaos type boss fight in their somewhere too! :rtfo

We haven't seen the bore worm queen nor the body eater boss. Master Dead is officially not in the game either. It'd be great to see them though. However I don't think they will work well into the type of game this new title is turning into.

I would like to see some deadman fatties in this game as a new kind of enemy for variety. Sort of like how they appeared in Part 3. Sounds like hanging infants come back. Boreworms were in the BR version of the game, no official word if they are being included in the final version.

I do want to see more spirits and ghosts. They were a common occurrence in the original trilogy but what about the new game? We have furniture golem that can be vaguely considered a poltergeist. However I just don't imagine Jokers dropping things on Rick's head in this one. The original was very serious but somehow the humor worked in the context.

Sorry, meant to say the Deadman Fat (fixed it), I assumed he was in the game becasue of this

And as for the "Queen", I misread your post in the IGN preview thread when I asked about the giant snake boss. :o

Bummer about the Necromancer. I was really hoping to see him. I considered the furniture golem the new version of the Poltergeist fight also. Hell, I'm really hoping to see some Boreworms in there.

I know this is weird..But how about the monster teddy bear in part 3?...but it may be a little pointless to have a teddy bear in the mansion because David was not yet around in this time period..and Rick, Jen & David also happens to live in a different house...but who knows? Maybe Dr. West had a son before... or whatever... Here's hoping to the monster teddy bear. But maybe they should save that in the sequel, hehehe.

I'd also like to see the Necromancer as well. Poor zombies..we get to kill them again and again, rip 'em apart, but the Necromancer will keep reviving them back, :evil hehe.

And I'd really appreciate to have the cabin stage in part 2 where you get to kill those monster fetuses with a chainsaw (Stage 3) Do we have confirmation on the monster fetus thingy yet?

Ah, the Murder Shed....I'd very much like to see that make a comeback also! :evil

I do believe one of the interviews we have seen has confirmed the hanging fetuses.

Wait.....no Master Dead?

For those wondering, yes, Mirror Rick was confirmed (in the Oct. 09 Play article, IIRC).

I'd post a list, but at this point I really don't have one. I'm content just to sit back and see what we get.

I'm wondering if the slide kick will make a return...it may not work as well given the direction of the game, though.

Yeah, that's one move I doubt we'll see again. On the other hand, a sliding move was handled very well in Rygar: The Legendary Adventure, so it's possible we'll see it again.

All I want is this for PC :angry:

Alternate endings like in SH3. That's what I want to see return. It would be really cool if the ending depended on whether or not you save Jennifer and how evil Rick becomes from using the power of the mask.

Ryu from Ninja Gaiden has a slide kick (in the new ones I mean).

It was honestly kind of goofy even in the old ones for sliding around on your butt to be an all-powerful death move... if they left it out, I wouldn't miss it.

I don't think any of us would, especially since Rick has a whole new slew of moves to use. The only time I missed it in Splatterhouse 3 was when these bastards were using it against me.

I think it would be awesome if the original warning was placed on the game. Do we have a copy of that somewhere?

Just thinking about this, and I guess there's a possibility it's in the game, but I'd really like to see the Jennifer fight return. :evil

I had never taken to the sliding kick either, but then when I was replaying SH1-Arcade months ago I decided to experiment more with it (and found out some interesting quirks, like bugging the Demon Jennifer fight - somewhat).

And I was like "Man, how did I go on for so long without spamming the fuck out of this bitch?"

(Provided it'd work. The timing is still a bit asinine.)

But given all the new repertoire of moves Rick's showcasing I'm thinking it would be a tad obsolete to remain... or even get that reaction like "dude, I can fucking pull a skullbreaker here, what the hell am I going to slide kick for?" :lol

I want a freakin' Hell Chaos battle! Not gonna happen I bet. I want the crawling lump of flesh from the first one. What was its name, Nabu? Also Evil Cross.

Having an alternate ending where Rick saves Jen is not a good idea. Not only does it go against the angst of the original, it also kills the possibility of a sequel. Of course, they could just skip 2 and go onto 3, but I still say very big no.

What I want: boreworms, a decent biggyman, Jen turning into the monster, captain mozzarella, and a backstory and plot to settle our speculations once and for all.

And why the hell does Rick have shoes? I can't help but wonder if they did this on purpose...after all, they're selling Splatterhouse shoes... (to commemorate the first time he has shoes? Lol)

Welcome to T3M, boreworm! You seem like you'll fit right in!

Good call, Boreworm. Seems like you're definitely on the right page.

Welcome aboard...by all means, stick around!

Now that I think about it, I would like to the the sludge monsters from the sewer stages and the zombie dogs.

Welcome to the madness Boreworm. We're glad to have ya.

Though it might be an all too obvious nod to the Evil Dead, those disembodied hands would be cool. Y'know, the ones that flick you off after you jump over them?

Other than that(and the mentioned sludge monsters), Monster Jennifer and the Evil One would be cool.

Severed hands that flick you off? hmm.. i think that's more of a thing you'd see in the OTHER kind of Splatterhouse

Boreworm> I love dark endings in horror movies and games, but I still think it would be cool for SH to have alternate endings for the sake of replayability. If the developers do a sequel, then maybe they can go the Mass Effect 2 route and have SH2 read the saved game data of the first game.

(...twitch...)

Or the sequel can take place in the distant future (so it won't matter which ending you got in the first game)where money, technology and corruption run rampant and Rick Taylor, now an emo-ish hobo, lives in the shadow of Jennifer's death and his junkie-like addiction to the power of the mask which is now adapted with cutting edge technology and teaches Rick how to use the futuristic applications he must tap if he is to take down the tyrannical regime that has absolutely nothing to do with the original games :x but will cater to a demographic of gamers obviously too snobbish and pussy-like in temperament to enjoy games with PRIMAL, BARBARIC BLOODLETTING!!!

...I'm sorry, that wasn't directed at any of you.

My god! That sounds so original and awesome that IT MUST BE DONE! If you combine your Mask-addicted, emo-hobo Rick with completely original and never-before-done ideas like being in the future, getting assistance from a fierce young girl, taking drugs (heavy drug use would be much cooler, actually) and shooting things, this will become a number one hit for Namco Bandai! Throw in a bit where he takes out his frustrations by murdering call girls and this will sell MILLIONS!

And I know the perfect studio that will take on the job for Namco Bandai - 3dfx Interactive! Someone get them on the horn IMMEDIATELY!

Team him up with a steroid addicted Mike Haggar, and make Jen a former prostitute with a heart of gold and you got yourself a deal. "Hot Coffee" style mini game optional. :hat

You forgot stripping the game of all of its horror elements...only then would the game be truly epic.

I figured that was a given. *shrug* Now if you take all that cheesy, stupid horror shit and replace it with stuff like battle armor worn by drug-assisted pilots, lots and lots of heavy artillery and a lot of stark grey, wrecked industrial areas - all of which are completely original and have never been seen in a game, ever - then, and only then, will it approach the level of awesome needed to be a bajillion seller.

Agreed.

Also, they need to change the backstory and make Rick an awesome space marine with a huge fucking gun and a giant sword that's bigger than he is or something like that. Being a former parapsychology student is just so 1980s and is so uncool. Also, to fit in with his emo-ness he needs to have spiky blonde hair and ride a futuristic motorcycle. There also needs to be lots of online co-op, capture the flag... and they should make it an MMORPG. If they style it after WoW, that'll be even better. Also, kart racing mini-games are a must.

And the Terror Mask definitely needs to be a burrito with eyeholes. Can't forget that.

Splatterhouse 2010 should continue from the ending you got in Splatterhouse 3. :hat

As long as the villain of the megacorporation conglomerate Rickster the Hipster is fighting against gets a giant suit of armor and threatens the tough girl aiding Rick, just so in the climatic finale Rick gets a giant suit himself and yells "Get away from her, you bitch!" I'll have that shit pre-ordered for all the systems it'd be coming out for.

Also a cliffhanger ending that's only displayed if you beat the game 3 times in the hardest setting and wait for the 7 minutes-long credit roll which shows the decapitated big bad girl reattaching her head into her body revealing to us that she is a cyborg and that the nightmare is far from over.

...(twitch: the sequel)...

OR...Rick Taylor is found frozen adrift in space 7 years prior to the game's opening and is thawed out and brought to the futuristic world of Narcissia in the year 3792 which is under tyrannical rule by a race of hyper-intelligent alien gonads that are mustering the power and resources to track down and reattach themselves to the masters that castrated them into exile but Rick is the only one who can stop them and is recruited by a rogue faction of the Narcissian military which is made up of gruff badasses with tender souls and itchy trigger fingers who plead with Rick to seek out the Terror mask which crash landed on the planet a century prior and is awaiting its wearer in the highly secured vault underneath Narcissia's capital city which the rogues infiltrate and help Rick retrieve the mask at great cost to their numbers which subsequently destroys Ricks' spirit and drives him to leave the rebellion and become a drug-addicted hobo wearing a tattered trench coat and avoiding the inevitability of donning the mask and taking down the evil Gonad empire before he is pulled out of his self-loathing by the plight of a cute orphan girl whose spunk and 'Never-say-die' attitude is just soooo GOD DAMN ENDEARING!!!!!!

...I'm afraid of what will come next... :|

Uwe Boll and Paul WS Anderson wil be fighting over the film rights.

Yes, before they stop and...MAKE LOVE...

In the words of Biz Markie....



Now excuse me, I gotta go bleach my brain in an effort to kill that image.

Think of the films that the abomination of a child would make!
