House of the Dead goes grindhouse with the first mainline game in the series to skip the arcades. Mostly notorious for its extremely foul-mouthed script.
Unused Videos#
The first video has some rough storyboards for the opening cutscene with speech and sound effects dubbed over it. The second video is an unused cutscene that looks like it was used internally as a 'test' intro movie. The third video is a trailer created using footage from a close-to-final build of Overkill. Despite existing in the game files, the player can never access it.
