The House of the Dead iceberg 

24:10 The reason why the source code was lost was explained in this video. I am not sure if he speaks the truth though so you have to do your research. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xGXMkvipZQg.html "During a corporate reshuffling, sega's am1 team that created the original game lost the code for multiple games including the house of the dead.

After Scarlet Dawn, Takashi Oda has planned three more games that will continue to hotd3. Even at the secret ending of hotd3, we see Thornheart again.

Justice's name actually makes sense as it's meant to be from the reverse reading of the card. Before the start of the battle, the players were minding their own business trying to get back to the surface. Out of nowhere, they're ambushed and dragged down to the sewer and are now forced to fight against a large, hulking monster ready to chase them around an environment full of water that would cause drag due to water dynamics, While Justice is large enough for it to not effect him. In short, Justice on paper is meant to represent an virtually unfair scenario or challenge for the heroes to overcome. If he was the first boss in any other game he would work just as well.

i was not expecting an iceberg for this game. love it!

Sega losing the source code for 1 & 2 is the most Sega thing I’ve ever heard. Also G could stand for Genome lol.

The scary thing is this thotd franchise has an actual connected lore scattered throughout the the whole series. This franchise could be Sega's Resident Evil equivalent competitor.

5:04, I read on a wiki that they refer to the race tracks as being from "Curien Mansion" because if they kept the series name as "House of The Dead", they legally couldn't release the game in Germany, because HoTD is banned over there. So basically it's a loophole.

I have a theory about Gary not appearing in anymore house of the dead games. So you know in the bad ending of house of the dead 2, James and Gary are ambushed by a zombie gold man what if zombie gold man was able to bite and kill Gary and the gun shoot we heard in the end was James killing Goldman. That’s just my theory

Golden Gun is actually very neat, but you immediately realized it used the HOTD4 assets and animation, like very immediately. also in the ending the character literally said "let's go play house of the dead"

Its a real shame that in most arcades now (UK ones) the house of the dead games are a rare sight, most cabinets have been put out to pasture because parts/ maintenance are non existent or cost more than the machine itself brings in. Seen a fee scarlett dawn machines but all of the others are a rare sight

Goldman being the devil card from the start would be something.

bro, the same shit happened to me where I wouldn't go near the machine after I got scared of it when I was about 5 years old - but then later on when I was about 11-13 years old I wanted to not be scared of zombies and stuff anymore so I started playing zombie games like call of duty and zombie shit on Garry's Mod!

Excellent video, I never would have thought this series had an iceberg made for it ! And I definitely didn't know we had a discord

Incredible work, really appreciate all your efforts put into this, keep it up man💪

love this Iceberg video man. I love Iceberg videos that go over trivia, facts and lore about the video game has . Especially as the iceberg gets more to the bottom and doesn't have no Creepypasta crap like the Mario 64 iceberg.

😳 where was this when I needed it Not showing up in recommended or top videos. Just out of the blue. I'm beyond words and happy I came across this channel and video! Keep it up 💪

Out of all the games the first HotD scared me the most for some reason as a kid. House of The Dead 2 was the first I played in the arcades when I was young but the first one was always the one that creeped me out the most. The sequels just didn't hit the same for me, especially 3 and 4.

i've been looking for this type of video for years! thank you!

Really interesting iceberg ! Just discovered your channel and it's pretty cool 👌

Great video mate, just subbed. I'm from the UK and I feel a lot of people have very fond memories of it here

Hey man you're doin great :) Not many in depth videos about House of the Dead that I've seen, so I came across your video. Cute avatar xD

This was amazing thank you, I always have to play house of the dead when I hit up an arcade. I went to an arcade yesterday and they had Scarlet Dawn. I beat it but unfortunately the arcade was soo loud I couldn't hear anything, and I I'm lore nerd so I I'm glad I found your channel. Thanks for the hard work and o can't wait for more entries!

Aside form the fact G coude be code for his real name, being Greg/Gregory, Gerald/Gerold, or Gabriel. It could also just be a pun on the term "G Man/G Men" which was the term used for decades in the united states for suited, clandestine agents and operatives of the higher echelon intelligence agencies aka "Government Men" etc. And alos just for funsies, G just sounds awesome, and people just love calling him a straight up G lol ( hip hop/rap culture pun). The franchises was great in the arcades in the 90s and 2000s. I miss those times.

Really enjoyed this video! Thank you. They should start making these for VR, just more light gun shooters in general would be good.

Subbed, keep it up Ginger Bro!

Awesome content, keep it up buddy.

Basically seems to me Curian and Goldman both were brothers working on extinction of mankind, Even had their last surprises in hotd 3 n 4, and now this new guy in scarlet drawn is their father with this chemical in his Vines keeling him alive as he continues his allies legacy.

Had to do a double take at the start of the vid during your seaside arcade monologue and I was like "Hang on, that's Skeggy!"

My guess is that “justice” and “death” have switched names to prevent misinterpretations

Back in 2006 I was working at the now defunct ATEI show in Earls Court, London. I got to demo house of the dead 4 special, the deluxe version! You got strapped in the chair, it would turn you 180 degrees to fight behind and in front of you. It had jet blasters of air that would set off when you took damage. It was loud, rumbling and extremely fun!

here's a sub and looking forward to seeing more lore videos of HOTD

Gary Was always my Favorite HoTD character, He was the Blue cross hair(my favorite color lol) his gun sounded cooler and he just seemed Cool, I hope we get him back soon ✌🏽

One thing O’m wonder is what do the bosses’ numbers mean? What differentiates Magician’s 0 from Wheel of Fate’s 0000? Why of all bosses did they decide High Priestess should be unknown? The highest number we in the games is 8830 (Sun’s number). There’s no way there’s that many creatures in the franchise, even if we count the regular stage enemies.

I bet the Capsule Thornheart grabbed at the end of THoTD3 will be used to create the final monster in the series The Devil

Really enjoyed this , connected my entire childhood playing this at FYE and then on Xbox at home with 3. Seemed to know all the plot points but I thank you for connecting them!

3 is when it started going down for me. 1 and 2 had a detailed but colorful and gory style. 3 went more realistic but at the cost of those gory shots in the original, blowing a hole in their torso, big meaty holes in their limbs and half their head shot off. 4 is just generic. HOTD should be colorful but dart and bloody. Think Borderlands. HOTD 1 and 2 is Borderlands while HOTD 4 and lesser 3 is Dead By Daylight or any zombie game. Another issue is the modernization. The previous games during the 90s had those coats and slick suits. But then it became modern "I don't care I'm a dirty guy who doesn't care about society and must show it in a tough guy act"

Now, I really need a House of the Dead lore video!

This channel is way too underrated

I think the house of the dead 3 is the only game series I ever finished, three times or two times, they were good memories

Awesome 👍

The creator said if there is enough interest he’ll make an FPS. I think releasing the games on current consoles would definitely help.

I've just found your channel and I am blown away with your quality of your videos! If your going to do another THOTD video. I would love you to talk about the collectibles in THOTD2 Wii version, because I looked at the collectibles I unlocked and there was one that said *UFO?* and I still have no idea what it does.

I think it's ridiculous that many fans don't consider canonical overkill, since the original director of the franchise said he can't officially say anything but personally he does consider the game canonical, the question of this canonicity is not only due to the little involvement of sega and the director but yes because of the tone of the game in relation to other games, since overkill is much, much more focused on humor than its predecessors, and in a very heavy humor indeed, with black humor jokes involving death, disabled people, sadistic violence, and even incest which is part of the main plot not to mention its much greater sex appeal, but so it's not like the franchise is childish or prudish, but I kind of understand what they mean by the game not having the same tone as the other games , but that is not a reason to reject it or say that it is not canonical, it is for me one of the best games in the franchise for being one of the funniest of all! His humor just complements him even more! In fact it is more Americanized in humor and plot but that is the overkill charm of the franchise for me, and for me it would become a spin off of its own! I love overkill too much because it was my first contact with the franchise and I still love this game with passion!

Stars movements feels similar to the Emperor in 2 they both move around slowly and are protected by spheres that move around them both, while the magician moves around quickly to confuse you, it’s just something that got me thinking while watching your video, I do love that someone did an iceberg as I also love this and series and hope that the second remake one some new things to the series, awesome work, thank you, ps the movie are horrible I do agree

I love how The background playing hotd 1 is giving me epilepsy very fun!😀

House of the dead overkill on the wii is a pleasure, must own

Awesome video

Awesome! Thanks for showing this franchise some well deserved love! XD

I remember playing this alot in the 2000s one of the main reasons I got into cod zombies and dead rising Nice too see this series is dead and slashing 😄

It took this video for me to realise that Curien and Goldman were two seperate entities....

Cool iceberg, and cool video! My family basically loves this series and I'm glad there's an iceberg of it.

Amazing video I really enjoyed it, I love this franchise and I always have ever since I was a kid (your story is really relatable) I'm working on a HOTD video myself, just ranking the games that's all! I'll leave a comment when I've made it for if you're interested :)

Absolutely love the series and speedrun it

20:00 we could see the devil for the sequel for scarlet dawn and maybe the devil's actions could explain how society collapsed between mid 2000s through 2019 for the events of hotd3

Goldman for me is a very interesting fellow ever since HotD 4, sure the dude's voice acting in 2 was and still very memeable, but Goldman has a lot of interesting implications for me since 4. We all know he "died" in HotD 2, but him knowing about James' death in 4 seems like he has either survived HotD 2 and is in hiding or had a way to foresee future events to a degree. My current headcanon of the guy is that he might have seen the future enough to know humanity fucks up so badly that he sets the events of HotD 2 and 4 in motion. Also, I wonder how James and Dan Taylor (HotD 3) are related. We know Ryan and James are bros, but we don't really have much info regarding their connection to Dan as he just dies at the end of HotD 3's chapter 0, and the dude is an off-screen badass considering both he and Thomas Rogan actually make it to the last area of HotD 3.

Brings back memories.

The 3rd house of the dead movie IS real, the licensing never got on and it was called “Dead and Deader”

You said what I felt at the start!!!!! Exactly the same!

Harry is probably that character on one of the secret endings in hotd3

I am curently playing The house of the Dead: nightmare on my phone through j2me loader, which is basicaly a java-games emulator, and although the gameplay is all that you said it is, its still a lot of fun, coz zombies are litteraly everywhere, and you gotta aim quick if you want to get through it. Its good game.

I never once thought you had dyslexia until you said it like half way of the whole video. I was kinda annoyed with some of the spelling of the words in the video :D . I'm sorry mate! Great video btw. Finished the whole thing!

good news that the blood and gore did add back in the remake

Bless you, Tarot is said like Taro my friend x

FINALLY SOMEBODY'S DOES A VIDEO ABOUT MY FAVORITE VIDEO GAME!!!!!!!!!

Best Iceberg For My Favorite Rail Shooter!

by the way, a curiosity, overkill is the only game in the franchise that has not been released for the arcade until today, so it can implement a unique money system when you beat records where you can buy new weapons and improve the ones you already have, which increases too much replay value!

How am I just now discovering this channel?!

Loved ITTTTTTTTTTT

So on level 6 what music did you use?

I hated how they couldn’t have someone from the main series in sonic racing I had no idea who those two characters were since the game is in japan only

Loved the intro haha I have fond memories of playing HOTD4 at the local arcade as well. Those cabinets are actually quite rare and expensive these days. I think the farthest I ever got on that game was The Star boss 😁

I just simply like HOD so that is why I watched this video

Honestly i one theory i used to believe was that Papa Cesar was still alive and he was the mysterious man limping around in those endings. Knowing he was shot in the leg.

The fact they never release a PC version of the game never allowed me to play it, I managed to do it once back in 2019 on teknoparrot emulator, but ever since I can't find the game to try it, now that the emulator is better. I personally love THOTD4, it added a lot of new features like grenade, path chose.

"I died in stage two" ...so you beat half of the game, lol

I didn't know thornheart was the guy from hotd 3 ending!

6:55 That's actually Sega Dreamcast, with giant Duracell battery attached.

Maybe had you played more Typing of the Dead you would know how to spell

wait which one did you start with?

I really love The Magician having the tarot card name.. well... Magician as he just flies around and throws fireballs at you It makes Magician appear more badass when he's given name to something that is pretty much as harmless as those magicians u find in birthday parties that entertain This is that one magician u shouldn't hire for your kid's birthday party. maybe except if ur Roy Curien and it's your son Daniel's birthday

Zombie revenge was the shit fixed camera like the resident evil games but with fighting game elements also when u die u turn into a zombie lol

Cool

Lol you forgot one. House of The Dead Scarlett Rot Slott Reels. It's a slot game at my local casino.

This was an absolute BLAST. From loving to watch relatives rarely play The House of the Dead 3 on the original Xbox as i thought the game was extremely enteraining and intriguing yet thought it was too hard for myself to play at a young age, to going back years later when looking back at the awesome bosses from 2&3 and giving the games a real go for myself turned my interest for the series sky high. Soon after that i found out about the existance of a specific game i just had to get. I ordered myself a copy of The House of the Dead 2&3 The Return for Wii as i saw it as the best way to re experience the two games i grew up being fascinated by to finally play just like they were made to be played made 2&3 The Return a game i consider very special along with being within my Top 5 Favourite Games. This series truly is an underrated gem which even with the pretty small lineup of games, ranks up there as one of my favourite game series. As soon as i saw this video, i knew i had to give it a watch and like since seeing others also into the series nowadays sadly is quite rare. An awesome watch looking into the depths of this insane series with a couple surprises even to me with my knowledge of the series, looking forward to see what you’ll get into next as you’ve definetly earned a subscription from me ^w^ (sorry about the long read btw, i can go on and on with any game/series i love as much as this one XD)

16:55 isn’t his name Harry? Was that a typo? Not to be nitpicky, just asking Edit: yeah, you corrected yourself later. That’s so weird

There's another comic, fanmade called The Resurrection Men.

Is it common for the iceberg graph to have terrible spelling?

U played the remake?

In 4 and scarlet there's to much zombies to a point it could cause lag

Overkill is on pc And costs only around 2-3 dolars in keyshops

Please do Story Videos I will wait for them

one thing that might help to know what G stands for, back in the 50's people called government agents G-mans, or just G's, which the fact that he is a caricature of a federal agent explains a bit the joke of he be a G-man lol!

That dumb bald Uwu Ball, he also botched Postal, but that one is somewhat "entretaining" because is a stretch of Postal 2 but even more offensive and "The joke about the dead baby" type of funny

Link of the nightmare syndrome manga?

I think the name G stands for goldman like G is the real goldman and the Goldman in thotd2 is just fake

Hotd 3 cell shaded is gonna be cursed

On rails. A railgun is something else entirely

I love this game series except for the voice acting...

their's a silent hill arcade game like the house of the dead btw i like ur vids tho

damn who made them sprites they look wack
