"Rick, it's time to play again..."

http://wiki.3dfxdev.net/splatterhouse
Yes, you may all have heard that 3dfx is spearheading a new project called Splatterhouse.

This game, not a prequel or sequel to the first three, depicts the story of Rick Taylor, the main character from the first three, in a post-modern, futuristic world, where corruption and darkness run rampant. In order to move forward, he has to forgive and forget his past.

The game plans on being more of a post-modern game, in comparison to the last three, which were more gory, 80's-inspired locales. It takes place in a futuristic city where the buildings reach miles and miles into the sky, and at the bottom lay the Wastelands, where Rick is throwing his life away, until a stranger one day presents him with the Terror Mask (created by Dr. Herbet West, The Reanimator), this time technologically fused. Rick must learn to let go in order to move forward and stop the evil corporation set to engulf the human race.

After that announement, I bring you...nothing! Eradicator 2 is currently in production limbo as I gather programmers for the project. As Splatterhouse is in the conceptional phase, work is indefinitely easier than actual development, but it's not dead. By far.

Check back for more updates as we progress.
