If this is the first you're hearing of the House of the Dead remake, here's the lowdown: it's a pretty dang faithful recreation of the 1997 zombie rail-shooter, for better or worse. Forever Entertainment seems to have taken little creative liberty in adapting the arcade classic for modern audiences; beyond its "modern graphics and controls," it looks just like the House of the Dead you remember from dimly lit arcades of the '90s. You're still capping zombies on a rail through the same four levels and bosses from the original, just with improved visuals and new voice work.
In addition to the fresh coat of paint, the House of the Dead remake includes local 2-player co-op, multiple endings, a photo mode, achievements, an armory with unlockable weapons, a horde mode, and an enemy gallery. The Switch version includes gyro aiming with the Joy-Cons, and Forever Entertainment says PS Move support is coming at some point after launch.
