Truthfully? A god - like monstrosity would ALWAYS win. Only by using "fictional logic" can guns or versions of IRL weapons EVER defeat them. Besides, the game (movie, book, etc.) had to have SOME way to let you/the main characters fight and win, so . . .

I have thoroughly regarded Thornheart as the Devil Arcana. He was dying, but then he recovered. It's clear that the powers he and his colleagues called upon had resurrected him. And so, he lives on as the Adversary to man.
@@FalloutJack Yeah. Even this is implied in HOTD 3, in that Thornheart appears far younger than HOTD 4 and Scarlet Dawn, despite to takes a lot years after this two games.
I speak for the main House of the Dead game, I am curious over who the final bosses were before they become. For one, we knew the Wheel of Fate was the former Dr. Roy Curien who was brought to the EFI Research Facility where he became test subject for experimentation after his death at the hands of his creation, the Magician. Rumor says that the World could be Goldman due to the same voice actor, but we will never know for sure. My lore question is if it's indeed Goldman, it took him 3 years to resurrect as the World but why would it take 19 years for Curien to be resurrected. My guess is the Wheel of Fate must be a huge research which probably remained unfinished and it must have cost a lot, yet it takes numerous shotgun shells to kill it six minutes after it got released. Adding to the question, the House of the Dead III lore said Rogan and his team raided the tower to investigate the source of collapsed civilization, and the source is the Wheel of Fate? But how did he contribute the apocalypse while undergo the resurrection? Doesn't seem make any sense. Also, I like how the bosses look like the fantasy creatures that have supernatural powers despite they were experimented. Pyrokinesis, cryokinesis, levitation, and gravity, but there's no biology or genes related to them.
I could be wrong, but The World is supposed to be worked on since HotD 2 alongside the Emperor, but it was never revealed, thus it was able to keep growing and become near unstoppable compared to the other bosses.
House of the Dead 2 Remake announced, coming Spring 2025. Hopefully they do better than 1 Remake, the Magician fight was so bad, same with the other bosses, they were all so slow and given extra HP to compensate.
I got an series all boss video in the works. I can’t believe they announced it as soon as I’m done playing all of them. HoTd 2 is my favorite so I’m gonna be critical about it
Truly a frachise I never get bored of, from my kindergarten days of overcoming my fear of zombies to my college days of studying real horror: careers House of the Dead forever a masterpiece, and the first thing I show ppl who ask me what zombies are (or creatures, or mutants, call em what you will)
Imagine beating any one of these, spending countless quarters in the arcade your parents gave you, and the unlimited amount of times at the CONTINUE? screen with all your friends watching you beat one of these games back when you were child. All the core memories gained from playing the light gun pump shotgun, or pistol, or whatever plastic gun they had. Back when times were simple. Back when everyone who got the high score was named ZAP. Back when in order to play video games, you had to step foot into the mall's arcade, or a Chuck E. Cheese or a Dave and Busters. I miss these old arcade days.
we need to enfitize the fact that a spanish dude named Castillos Hermanos is the reason a bunch of idiots made mutants with the level of health of cardboard boxes and think they are gods
@MegaYoYo That's awesome ASF bro. I have a pretty decent collection of games myself, but unfortunately I don't have any Dreamcast titles, let alone the console. I traded it in to Funcoland with all my games back in 2003 for a PS2 which I still own and it still works. I have a vast hard copy collection for it.
I cannot believe there was other house of the dead games I always thought it was forgotten am surprised so many sequel came out that I was never aware off this game is so fun a must have 2 player fun I wished I knew about this lol
I'll forever have a love of the first 2 house of the dead games. The sound design feels soo much more punchier in those titles compared to later games. Which makes the light guns in the arcade way more satisfying to use.
I feel like the reason none of the other bosses have the sheer aura and intimidation of the magician is (obviously the magician is a better designed boss fight but ALSO) that this is such a massive escalation from everything you've gone up against so far. It suddenly goes from being a zombie shooter to you fighting a literal demigod. It completely recontextualizes the rest of the game. Everything you've battled through to this point wasn't even part of the villain's actual plan, it was literally just the accidental by-product of producing this. And the problem with every subsequent boss is once you hit the player with an insane reveal like that in the first game, it doesn't ever have the same impact again, and they're mostly just trying to do that same twist again. The emperor, the wheel of fate, and the world just feel like the magician but with less interesting designs. It might just be my personal soft spot for scarlet dawn, but I feel like the Moon is the only other boss that even comes close to capturing the sense that you're up against something completely beyond you, because per the fan complaints this is at last a final boss that really can't actually be hurt that badly by normal bullets, and all you can do it stay alive until James's spirit intervenes to help you.
Magician was the only final boss that had a true UNKNOWN weakpoint, every time I fought him I just shoot at his sheet until he takes damage and causes me a lot of HP points, like a LOT! (good thing I was playing on PC with free continues) , it was until too many years later I played THOTD2 that I figure out his weakness, now I can defeat him without loosing a single HP point. AThe other 4 all had ridiculously visible weak points (Emperor, Wheel of Fate, The World, The Moon) , 3 in the heart and a 4th is just scripted. The thing "The World" is my favorite because of the name, and the fact he cannot be killed unless you nuke him like James did. I both love and hate Magician, I hate him more than I like him, he was a pain in the head when I was a child.
If there's one thing i find highly stupid about this game, its at HOTD 4. Seriously, 2 happened at 1998 and not once did the AMS scour Goldman's Building for investigation. They left it as pristine as it was before. Seriously??
The sad thing is that, they tried to make a remake without the base game (or the original one) since they lost the mother code of it and they had to work from 0

Truthfully? A god - like monstrosity would ALWAYS win. Only by using "fictional logic" can guns or versions of IRL weapons EVER defeat them. Besides, the game (movie, book, etc.) had to have SOME way to let you/the main characters fight and win, so . . .
HOTD and Metal Slug have taught me that infinite lead will always save the day from monsters and creatures beyond our comprehension
Snobbert
24:44 "we only got one shot at this!" *throws grenade, misses.* "...that one didn't count!"
haha! I was surprised I got another shot at that
All these attempts to create the ultimate being, but it seems like a guy with a .45 is consistently the actual best weapon.
With the cheat of "noclip".
This all just goes to show that godlike beings are not immune to plain old Uzi, Pump Action shotgun, and Submachine Gun bullets. Not even special bullets or cannons, just plain old Uzi and a little dynamite.
then they are not gods, only idiots with lots of deformities
Even giant mutants meant to eliminate giant populations are immune to 9mm
guns are op
As a gun fanatic, I have to correct you in that the "Uzis" are actually TMP or more specifically the SP9/TP9 model from B&T
It doesn't mean those still strong enough to kill godlike@@firzanwolfred6112
I like how every boss last ditch effort is throw random shit into the sky and hope it kills you when it falls. XD
The worst one is The Wheel of Fate
@MegaYoYo True. I always failed to see the one that hit me before it was too late.
Magician : Fire
Emperor : Shapeshifting Water
Wheel of Fate : Electricity
World : Ice
Moon : Wind
I love that they kept a elemental theme going. I wonder when we will see Earth
@@hidan407 34:48 - The Moon (The House of the Dead: Scarlet Dawn) (Element: Earth)
Uh…. I thought The Emperor was made out of Glass or Diamond or even liquid Mercury unlike T 1000 Terminator 2 film villain that’s made out of him
I wonder what the next element will be
@@MegaYoYopretty much only earth left
The Devil representing Earth element would be pretty fitting too. the story of Adam and Eve have them commited the first sin after Eve was tricked by the Devil parrading as a snake, and one of the consequences was having humanity doomed to have their life end by returning back to where they once originated: dust - in other words, earth

Boi if you can't even destroy two dudes with pistols you weren't ever goin do sh*t sit down...
The voice acting is brilliant lol its like they ran out of money and just did the voices themselves 😂, still this are classics ahead of their time imo
It's amazing. I love the voice acting in 2
this dialogue sounds ai generated. Pretty Impressive considering real people wrote and voiced it.
I swear if they ever come out and say that the voice acting was a Microsoft Sam program, I’d believe it lol😂
Only left the Devil, that possibly will be Thornheart, aka the Mysterious man.
I hope the devil lives up to its name.
@MegaYoYo Me too.
There are also extra Arcana, such as Aeon, so we may see something for that too.
I have thoroughly regarded Thornheart as the Devil Arcana. He was dying, but then he recovered. It's clear that the powers he and his colleagues called upon had resurrected him. And so, he lives on as the Adversary to man.

So one of the endings to Hotd4 shows Goldman turning so it's likely he did become The World
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for cutting the Overkill ending short. I did not need to see *that* more than once.

22:18 why couldn't he just throw it? he didn't have to sacrifice himself.

He wanted no chance for the creature to evolve further and sacrificing himself with the detonator was the only way to ensure it
They would’ve likely died from his wounds
still it would have been awesome to see the bosses final form

2 was peak for the series. 4 is a close second
4:10 the voice acting is phenomenal 😂
The best part about Scarlet Dawn is how they actively chose to embrace the series’s propensity for bad voice acting and made it a core feature
For real. Those deliveries are from the 90's
Well they make Kate look hot tho ngl
The magician looks like the all
Your base belongs to us dude.😂
The voice acting ,makes me laugh everytime :))
Its like the voice director was like:
"Aim for google translate with a speech impediment"
Microsoft Sam ready for VA
Michael Cole as Goldman for the HOTD2 Remake
Please
too bad, many many lovers that visited arcade to play these series weren't able to meet these 'masterpiece' s.
I want to play this on my pc
But it seems its hard to find the game
It can be a hassle but worth it. Especially if you got a Sinden Light gun
I’m glad they remade 1 and 2 but those old graphics hit different
how do you play these games, using emulator or what?
im curious i want to play these games too, my childhood game.
Various methods. Emulation, Steam, old hardware with capture software
I’m gonna pretend House of the Dead Overkill never happened. That’s just gross dude…
