Hey, This thread is to Talk about the Seeminly Upcoming game " House of the Dead 5" Which is I hope, the next chapter ( Ahead time)
The storyline has so far gone as like this:
House of the Dead: On December 18, 1998, AMS agents Thomas Rogan and "G" are sent on an assignment to investigate a panicked phone call from Rogan's girlfriend Sophie Richards and a series of disappearances at the Curien Mansion, home laboratory of Dr. Curien, an acclaimed biochemist and geneticist. Dr. Curien was obsessed with discovering the very nature of life and death, backed by the DBR Corporation and its scientists. The nature of the experiments, however, drove Dr. Curien insane, resulting in him releasing his experimental subjects onto the unsuspecting world.
Amidst the chaos wrought by Curien, Rogan and "G" face many formidable foes, including The Chariot (Type 27), a plated undead warrior who mortally wounds Sophie (whether she survives the wound or not depends on player performance upon beating the game), The Hangedman (Type 41), a gargoyle-like creature which sees to it that she cannot escape the mansion grounds, as well as The Hermit (Type 6803), a mutant spider crab guarding the passageway leading to Curien's restricted research area.
Upon confronting Curien, the AMS agents are treated to his greatest masterpiece, The Magician (Type 0), a humanoid creature with mastery over fire. Ironically, after he releases the creature from its incubation chamber, Dr. Curien is killed by his creation; "The Magician" seemed to have reached a state of sentience in which he feels an inferior being such as a human has no place in giving him instructions. To prevent the Magician from escaping the mansion and destroying the world, Rogan and "G" killed it before any harm could be done.
House of the Dead 2: The game follows the fictional events of February 26, 2000, two years after the Curien Mansion incident taking place in The House of the Dead. The secret international agency, AMS, has launched an investigation concerning the cause of the Curien case, in order to prevent the world from experiencing a similar outbreak. Strange occurrences, however, are reported to be taking place in the city of Venice, Italy, the last known location of AMS agent "G," who has gone missing. Agents James Taylor and Gary Stewart are dispatched along with Amy Crystal and Harry Harris to investigate and evacuate the populace, but are met with an undead horde developed by Goldman, the president of the eminent DBR Corporation and an expert on the genome theory who funded the late Dr. Curien's experiments.
While converging on Goldman's headquarters, James and Gary face many formidable foes, including Judgment (Type 28) consisting of an imp-like monster Zeal and his headless, axe-wielding puppet Kuarl, an aquatic beast which heads an assault on Venice's waterways and Central Plaza, The Hierophant (Type B 05), segmented serpent-like beasts stalking the sewer system known as The Tower (Type 8000), and Strength (Type 205), a chainsaw-wielding zombie which chases the agents in a labyrinth. Curien's masterpiece, The Magician (Type 0), is also resurrected by Goldman to oversee the birth of The Emperor (Type α), designed to "rule, destroy, and hate mankind". Being in its prototype stage, the Emperor was not as strong as Goldman would have hoped, and fell to the AMS agents, leading Goldman to commit suicide by throwing himself off the roof of his building.
House of the Dead 4: In the year 2003, three years after the events of The House of the Dead 2, AMS agents James Taylor and newcomer Kate Green are gathering intelligence at the fifth basement floor of the AMS European branch office. The former of the two still has the events of the 2000 Goldman case on his mind, and believes that the ordeal had not yet ended. A sudden earthquake rocks the room while they talk, collapsing the basement walls and leaving the agents trapped.
Several days later, James and Kate await a rescue team. James' PDA goes off, and a group of undead are seen on the security cameras. Realizing that they are in danger, James has Kate gather all the weaponry they can find in preparation for the arrival of their foes. Soon after, the two travel through the sewers to an information room where they uncover a plot to fire nuclear missiles worldwide within twenty-four hours time, facing the four-armed Justice (Type 0053) and a pair of mutant tarantulas known as The Lovers (Type 6805) along the way. Taking the subway into zombie-infested streets from an underground shopping district, the agents narrowly avoid attacks by The Empress (Type 1210), a double-ended chainsaw-wielding assassin, and the nearly impervious Temperance (Type 0483).
James and Kate then learn that the one-time president of the now-defunct DBR Corporation, Goldman (who committed suicide in 2000), is responsible for the resurgence of undead and missile launch, and set out for his abandoned building. A levitating humanoid, The Star (Type 0001), prevents their advance in the foyer, but the agents arrive in time to halt Goldman's plans, though it is revealed that his true intention is to revert humankind to its original state to prevent them from harming the planet any further. As such his final legacy, The World (Type β), is released in the opening of "Pandora's Box" to fulfill its role as the successor to his original Emperor project in 2000, having developed underground since his death. As the AMS agents deal away with it, the World continuously alters its form to meet their threats, each time growing larger and more powerful. Following its second defeat, James sets his PDA to self-destruct, enabling him to sacrifice himself to destroy it. James' heroic act bestows hope upon humanity, giving Kate the resolve to move on.
In one of the game's endings, a businessman limps on his right leg and sits at a desk in the corner of an office. He claims that Goldman was "soft" and that "wretched humans have no need of hope," stating that "the true end will soon begin" and that "there is more than one Pandora's Box".
House of the Dead 3: Set in the post-apocalyptic year of 2019 (sixteen years after the events of The House of the Dead 4), civilization has long since collapsed. Ex-AMS agent Thomas Rogan and his team of commandos investigate the EFI research facility, which may be linked to the world collapse. Thomas' nineteen year old daughter, Lisa, and his former partner "G" travel there two weeks later with automatic shotguns in hand after contact with him is mysteriously lost.
Notorious for his role in the creation of the original undead horde, Dr. Curien's motives are explored through flashbacks. Several years before the Curien Mansion case, in an effort to discover the cure to his son's seemingly terminal illness, he began researching the nature of life and death.
Living in the shadow of her well-known father, Lisa muses with "G" about how she is often the subject of comparisons between her father and herself as the two explore the facility, only to come into contact with undead creatures such as EFI's one-man security force Death (Type 11), a giant deformed sloth known as The Fool (Type 28), and a mutant tentacled tree known as The Sun (Type 8830) that had taken over the building's biological laboratories.
Ultimately, Lisa is reunited with her father. She and Daniel Curien (who has been seemingly cured of his illness by 2019) set out to destroy The Wheel of Fate (Type 0), the final legacy of Dr. Curien which began around the same time as the Magician project in the first game. The genes of both the Magician and the Wheel of Fate, according to Curien, would change the future. After the scientist's death, he underwent a resurrection in the EFI research facility that would take nineteen years to complete (though how his body ended up there, and whether or not he was truly Curien at all, is never explained). Daniel hacks the Wheel of Fate's programming, and together with Lisa, put it to rest once and for all as a sign of their readiness to confront the uncertain future.
In one of the endings of the game, a mysterious man limping on his right leg picks up a canister of reanimation fluid from the floor of the chamber where the final battle takes place. He claims that "he failed to understand its true purpose".
Now that you know the story, Here are some facts behind it.
All the Bosses in the games are based on The Major Arcana, Tarot Cards, Trump cards Etc;
The only ones not used are: The Devil, The High Preistess, The Moon.
This sparks theory of HOTD5 ( House of the dead 5)
I personally would like to see them use all the Bosses from previous games for this finale game.
What are your thoughts?
