The Magician goes down in my book as one of the most epic bosses in video game history: arcade, PC, console or otherwise. The music accompanying the battle against the Magician is also very catchy.
I think that the reason this game has far less gore/gib factor is due to them providing a much larger amount of enemies on screen at once. Since gore/gib effects put a lot of stress on the processor, it is likely they took these effects out so that the game would run smoother, although it is kind of disappointing since it gave the HOTD series such interesting charm among the sea of zombie shooters.
+AnaglyphicHacker Absolutely agree with you , they took away one of the things that were special of this franchise, the extremely detailed damage you can inflict on the zombies bodies , without that the action feels Not nearly as shocking as the previous games wich is main attractive :S . Even if its true that at first sight is more impressive to see more much more zombies on screen when you start to shooting them feels Unsatisfying . For methe the game feels Half assed.
I love all these game, even the cheesy voice acting. I prefer the arcade versions. Light guns and the type of track guns where the gun is actually a joystick are the best.
When me and my brother beaten House of the dead 4 special (while I was playing as G) G said "I think I did better than Logan!" and my brother was pissed (because his name is logan too/thought the game hates him)
In the arcade version, Goldman said Ah, there is one thing I almost forgot. Travel north...Hope is ( voice turns deep and evil) such a (eyes turned red and mouth started crooking) spendid thing.
***** yup i agree. But I also think that gary shold have gotten another chance... james and g got 2 or 3 games and so did the magician... God danmit why did gary get cut out when G was never playable!?!
Brenden Baca That's actually a very good question...I have no clue. I agree that Gary should return to the HOTD series sometime in the future. He's not currently canonically DEAD, right?
5:03 seeing all these sick heavy metal zombies makes me feel like they should be playing 🎶DO YOU WANNA PARTY🎶 from return of the living dead, in the background.
ZA WARUDO!!! Not to mention the Magician. Of all the bosses from the series, he's the one that is the most stubborn. Twice back from the dead. Seriously.
No, he did come back twice. The first time he met the players in the first HoTD as a freshly made creation of Curien and that doesn't count as coming back from the dead...unless he was human before. But in terms of coming back as a boss he comes back twice.
Wao thanks for this video! Now I have another route to play cuz I already beat the normal route of the game many times. Really I have no idea we can go another ways 'till I watched your vid xD
I remember first playing this game when I was in six grade at peter piper pizza. it was the most badass arcade game I have ever played the thing is I don't have a ps3 to play this game but some day I will
Am I imagining it or does the boss at 38:40 sound exactly the same as the super mutants from Fallout 3? You can tell whoever played this has put some amount of hours into it. Think I'd get bored before I got that good!
+Pokedex248 - Roblox They look very much infected... But still they have the knowledge to drive cars and trains, and also have the ability to wield weapons and flank the agents... what?
Simple economics: Will you be willing to pay extra in order for the game to have better voice acting? Or perhaps look at it this way: Will bad voice acting make you not play this game? Since for most people, the answer for both questions are no, from the developer's standpoint, it just doesn't make sense for them to hire good voice actors.
So despite having "unknown" weakness, the final boss can be defeated by shooting directly at the heart? It's starting to remind me of that hydro creature from HOTD 2. Plus, that scene where Kate runs into G after defeating the final boss with James, is that a hidden level that only exists on the PS3 and not the original arcade?
The Phantom Really? I've been playing this game many times at an arcade in the Las Vegas Strip and man I'm not even sure if that counted as one of them.
RobloJerry Since the guy did this on a playthrough of the playstation version (I believe) I don't think he recorded this playthrough from the single cabinet in spain...
Is it just me or is the gore effects in this game WORSE than the first few HotD games? There's no chunks flying off or holes in the zombies when you shoot at them in this one. I remember there being damage shown on the models when you shot parts/pieces/holes/chunks in the first few games. Here they just get shot and die.
I found this video on Google after searching again about why did the gore disappear from this games, 1 & 2 were very gore, 3 was a lot softer and this one... doesnt have any gore at all... WHY? I need to know exactly why
Glowyrm The gore is still there, it's just less dramatic because you're using a machine gun rather than a shotgun. The problem is this specific video, because the guy playing is actually good at the game and goes for head shots which kill fast and are worth more points, you don't really get to see any of it.
Glowyrm omg guys when will you understand animation of hd games was so hard to make back at the time also reminder this game was created by sega the game started production with shadow the hedgehog game so they didnt have time to pay attention to details
***** I'm guessing that the main antagonist will be revealed to be the mystery man. I mean, think about it; He works very closely with Goldman, he knows the true purpose of Curien's eternal life elixir. All ends will meet when you think about it...
If you get the version with don't ps move (2006) you download on the internet,when you get the version ps move (2012 that i have me) you download the game on the playstation store or buy a false copy of it from a seller of false games
The first part of the game, they are in the damn AMS building, the zombie killing agency, and they are all fucking dead except for these two. that makes really no sense... just my thought.
22:17 Omg, that part gave me a heart attack :0
That is what it sounds like when a kid is screaming in the mic

SonicStar917 i
How to play secrec stage?
Can you tell me?
You are an amazing House of the Dead 4 player. I've been playing these games for years and I'm quite envious of how high you set the bar.
I'm glad this game brought back magician as the final secret boss, after all he is the best boss in the series
+Daniel Tobon yeah I think so ^^
+Earnny Suthidee yeah. To me,now has best theme, best design, and an awsome battle too
The Magician wasn't in THOTD 3, unless you mean the score booster version.
How do you get to that secret boss?
Agent G : In overkill he's badass af.
And the combination with Varla Guns and Isaac Washington makes an awesome house of the dead franchise
I think that the reason this game has far less gore/gib factor is due to them providing a much larger amount of enemies on screen at once.

38:38 When i saw "The Star" I was like...........DANTE!? XDDDD
All hail the destructive power of the Mini Uzi!
ALL HALE UZI *heavenly music*
Stefano Pavone Well the arcade cabinet has uzi's.
Well pistol is more op
I have no idea how the game maker choose the Fire Icon as Player Life. It's all the same in each episode of "The House of The Dead" Series.
When me and my brother beaten House of the dead 4 special (while I was playing as G) G said "I think I did better than Logan!" and my brother was pissed (because his name is logan too/thought the game hates him)
LOL
In the arcade version, Goldman said
Ah, there is one thing I almost forgot. Travel north...Hope is ( voice turns deep and evil) such a (eyes turned red and mouth started crooking) spendid thing.
That's a bad ending, just in case. Hell, I don't know how to get this or that ending, just as I don't know if there's any way to find out.
That magician........ 3 times he got an ass whoopin!
Brenden Baca He's STILL one of the best first person shooter bosses in my opinion. I love his theme.
***** yup i agree. But I also think that gary shold have gotten another chance... james and g got 2 or 3 games and so did the magician... God danmit why did gary get cut out when G was never playable!?!
Brenden Baca That's actually a very good question...I have no clue. I agree that Gary should return to the HOTD series sometime in the future. He's not currently canonically DEAD, right?
All we can do is hope. HOTD 5 isnt posible is it? Hope.....lps this is not religious!!!
Shadow Link & pikachu baca HOTD 5 might be possible.
The world:I am the ultimate being... There is no Hope... My hammer of death shall rain down upon you!
James:Kate this is it! GIVE IT ALL YOU GOT!!
James:This is just great... It's absorbing our attacks!!
This game remind me of resident evil darkside chronicles.
This needs to be on the wii u.
Same here
37:25 Ese hueco es cuando el hombre pejelagarto hieropant rompe el puente en thod 2
This is supposed to be a horror game
The only thing thats missing is the horror element
Now I see where the inspiration of Killing Floor came from :D
I wish there is gonna be a sequel to the third game...
David Tanazkovich there is a sequal coming to this one called scarlet dawn
R.I.P James Taylor for sacrificing himself
5:03 seeing all these sick heavy metal zombies makes me feel like they should be playing 🎶DO YOU WANNA PARTY🎶 from return of the living dead, in the background.

Robert Jindra Are you new to the HOTD community?

Perfect play you try to get headshot every shoot nice

The house of the dead series is supper good and the music is wonderful
22:16
Just...what was that noise lol
Privatecreeper1
the death sound of those zombies but much louder
i watched it until the end, da hell G
This is the best house of the dead for me
for those who lost the ones they love in the MH370 and MH17,don't give up hope.
ZA WARUDO!!!
Not to mention the Magician. Of all the bosses from the series, he's the one that is the most stubborn. Twice back from the dead. Seriously.
Three
It's three times. One in the first House of the Dead, one in the second and House of the Dead 4 special.
No, he did come back twice. The first time he met the players in the first HoTD as a freshly made creation of Curien and that doesn't count as coming back from the dead...unless he was human before.
But in terms of coming back as a boss he comes back twice.
Oh! That makes sense! the Magician did appear 3 times.
Maciej Bohn yup which shows us his hatred for the ams folks
Wao thanks for this video! Now I have another route to play cuz I already beat the normal route of the game many times. Really I have no idea we can go another ways 'till I watched your vid xD

Am I imagining it or does the boss at 38:40 sound exactly the same as the super mutants from Fallout 3? You can tell whoever played this has put some amount of hours into it. Think I'd get bored before I got that good!
i loved playing house of the dead in the arcade when i was younger but the professionals were always on it , you had to get in there quick lol
I saw A Gold magician bonus
Good Playing,you are the best on this game,i am the best on deadstorm pirates.
You are an excellent gunslinger!, very fast, the target where you put the eye you put the bullet.
50:57 it good to see g again😮😮
Man,. you REALLY are better than me hahaha
Pretty cool longplay, I loved it.
I like this game I play all day until holiday
Talk about a sharp shooter. The highest rank I ever reached in the game overall at my local arcade is a "B."
+twist58 Considering most people get an average of D-C, that's pretty good.
+KirbyWarrior12 I haven't played HOD 4, but on HOD 3 I average B-S.
The Star look's awesome if there's gonna be a HOTD5 he should make a return
Kate or James??
Kate : like
James : comment
who thinks that boss music is so cool
Hana H
Much better than HoTD 2
Magician's is the best
9:12 if that rock above james' head was any bigger, the whole game would have changed.
+Pokedex248 - Roblox They look very much infected... But still they have the knowledge to drive cars and trains, and also have the ability to wield weapons and flank the agents... what?
the player is good he never lose
If this was on Steam & Xbox is definitely play this game
Gaahh, I wish this machine was more common. We had a couple on the OCNJ boardwalk a few years back, but they're all gone D:
20:40 well i think i know where did silver the hedgehog get his favourite quote
Why can't any of the voice actors in these games ever seem to care?
ㄦ ㄔ_ㄔ ㄗ
well they know they wont be well known actors so they just say "FUCK IT" and start acting.
朱香
lol
I get the feeling they were kinda playing up the cheesiness for this one - the series IS heavily influenced by old B-movies, after all.
Simple economics: Will you be willing to pay extra in order for the game to have better voice acting?
Or perhaps look at it this way: Will bad voice acting make you not play this game?
Since for most people, the answer for both questions are no, from the developer's standpoint, it just doesn't make sense for them to hire good voice actors.
DAMN! They found us!
54:41 Kate Said His Tounge Was His Weakness But,The PDA Shows Up Anyway To Tell You It.
Oh so perfection I like this game
Looks like the only way to increase more the accuracy is holding the gun with 2 hands very carefully
This axe guy was called in the seconed game( maybe in this game to) is litrally not even kidding called jhonny , coinsdinse me thinks not
49:49 Uh, James? Don't you mean Rogan?
They should have put a character from this serous in project X zone
WOW!GOOD!
I like the last BOOM!!
Nice shooting
guys if you see carefully you see the HotD 2 pictures this is releated to the HotD 2 and 3
nice play you like a pro
30:31
LOOK OUT!!! IT'S "LARD-ZILLA"!!!
Fatzilla.
LOL
Jiggle Physics worst nightmare
33:23
Hey, look
The Heroic Spirit Emiya (Archer) is here.
The "mystery man" at 49:10 . . . . (and he's the same guy from one of the HOTD 3 endings) . . . is that Papa Ceasar?
Thornheart
1:00:45 it's Rogan G your former partner from the curien mansion case since 1998
Ok, is there ANY way to play this on PC? I mean goddamn, these memories!
2:54 AHHHHH IS IT TUESDAY!?
روووووووعه بس يا ريت يكون الأجزاء الجديده 3D هتبقي جااااااامده
nice shootin tex!
So despite having "unknown" weakness, the final boss can be defeated by shooting directly at the heart? It's starting to remind me of that hydro creature from HOTD 2.
Plus, that scene where Kate runs into G after defeating the final boss with James, is that a hidden level that only exists on the PS3 and not the original arcade?
The Phantom Really? I've been playing this game many times at an arcade in the Las Vegas Strip and man I'm not even sure if that counted as one of them.
The Phantom Damn. No, the cabinet looked nothing like that. It was pretty large though, but not that detailed.
That hydro boss your referring to is the hierophant
***** Yes! Precisely. That Hierophant's weakness is very much the same as that final boss here in #4.
RobloJerry Since the guy did this on a playthrough of the playstation version (I believe) I don't think he recorded this playthrough from the single cabinet in spain...
Awesome
very good
goldman likes gman from half-life
Is it just me or is the gore effects in this game WORSE than the first few HotD games?
There's no chunks flying off or holes in the zombies when you shoot at them in this one. I remember there being damage shown on the models when you shot parts/pieces/holes/chunks in the first few games.

Salvador Martinez
Because of the universal pussifying of game industry as well as everything else.
Well glow when the zombie grabbed in the special it head was shot of abit showing the flesh
Glowyrm The gore is still there, it's just less dramatic because you're using a machine gun rather than a shotgun.
The problem is this specific video, because the guy playing is actually good at the game and goes for head shots which kill fast and are worth more points, you don't really get to see any of it.

Foreshadowing :)

the mystery man does not have a right foot...

all that perfect tho
She sounds like Claire from Resident evil 2 :D
The first part of the game, they are in the damn AMS building, the zombie killing agency, and they are all fucking dead except for these two. that makes really no sense... just my thought.
