If you’re aiming to suffer like G did as authentically as possible, then know that the upcoming House of the Dead Remake is targeting post-release PS Move support. The game – a full ground-up recreation of SEGA’s arcade classic – will attempt to recreate that nostalgic lightgun feel by adding optional support for Sony’s phallic-shaped wands, which is an appreciated addition considering the peripherals are over a decade old.
It’s worth noting that if you’re planning to play the PS4 game on a PS5 then you will need Sony’s camera adaptor in order to use your PS Move on the next-gen console. This is because the new system lacks PS4’s proprietary camera port, so you need an extra dongle to convert the cable to USB. If you’re a PSVR owner, then you can request this for free.
In our opinion, the PS Move never quite replicated lightguns as well as it should, because it acts more like a cursor – but it’ll clearly be more rewarding than an analogue stick. We’re curious whether the game will also support gyro controls, because that seems like a good middle-ground for people who don’t own Sony’s motion wands. We’ll find out in just a few days, as the remake is out on 28th April.

I started Push Square shortly before the big talking point being Kinect vs PS Move (this was a thing, believe it or not!)
If you went back in time and told people back then that PS Move would still be getting support in 2022 while Kinect has been dead for several years, absolutely no one would believe you.
Aim controller support later?
Pointless without a light gun
@AndyKazama That would be great.
While the Moves are not the perfect solution, it's still better than a DualShock 4. There are quite a few plastic gun attachments for the move controllers. Might be worth a look for people wanting a more authentic solution.
As for the PS5 adapter, I requested one the day they opened the site (think it was late October 2020), still haven't received it. I gave up after about 10 months and bought one from Ebay for £50.
I still continue my email thread with Sony Customer service ever once in a while just for fun. They still claim it's on the way and covid is still the reason it's 18 months late. Haha.
Moves are so good…but k ok fly in VR. Played a couple of “lightgun” games with them in PSVR and they are great, but i a 3D space, not pointing at a screen.
Gyro would be better for pancake gaming.
@AndyKazama
Good Point, if it supports Move then surely it should be supporting the aim controller? Would deffo buy this then.
Don’t even remember where I put my ps3 move camera. will it work on PS5?
@dimi you will need the PS4 camera.
How about some basic questions: They were screaming that "DualShock4 this, DualSense there...", milion functions inside, and they are thinking about "sticks"?????
What about motion aiming (like spraying paint in InFamous Second Son) ????
Or that touchpad on huge "Select" button ???
They have totally forgot these options? Or they finally find out, it is useless?
Ooooh, should I get my sharpshooter ready? Had a blast playing hotd Overkill with my friend.
@get2sammyb do you think we'll manage move support if games like Killzone 3 release on psplus premium. Hard to imagine, especially if it's cloud based.
@tameshiyaku Yeah, very unlikely.
@lolwhatno Definitely a cool concept that would probably be pretty impressive today if they'd continued to iterate on it.
"We’re curious whether the game will also support gyro controls"
I'm confident in saying it will. The Switch version has a lot of customisation for the gyro, and the basic stick controls are not that great so I think they know they need gyro as an option for something enjoyable to play
@lolwhatno it really wasn't, unresponsive garbage peripheral, the eyetoy was better than that biz
House of the dead games always have had staying power with regards to replayability ,as long as the price is right im up for that.
It’s a shame because if Sony released a bundle with move controller and camera and and USB adapter and light gun holder for PS5 with this game it could get good support and lead the way for future titles.
Second hand prices for move, camera etc are very high and they may not work for long being old and second hand.
I would buy the above bundle if sold new.
The gaming industry never gets lined up with each other.
Sweet I own Move controllers and even still have the PS3 gun attachment somewhere
Perfect I still have my Move Controllers. I was going to sell them as I recently finished Playstation Move Heroes which was one of the worst PS3 games I ever played but I got a good laugh out of it and I'm glad I kept them now.
Still think this game begs for a VR version, and will likely skip it (unless the Move implementation is really good).
PS. By VR version I mean a version where you (in VR) stand in front of an arcade cabinet and you play the game like the good old classics. Oh, well, a man can dream, right?
I have my eyes on this one, I was dying for a house of the game when I first brought my psvr 🥰🥰
Bah, it's only move support, such a waste 😤😤
@AndyKazama
PSVR support with aim controller. Even if the VR game would be just a 2D large screen like in Cinema Mode, it would be awesome playing this on a big screen with the aim controller.
This is great. The PlayStation version might become the best way to play this game from home, all we need now is the aim controller support!
Can someone explain 'suffer like G did' to me? Saw it previously as a Trophy for the zombie minigame in Lost Judgment, this a reference to something?
@Golem25
Suffer like G did is a line from "The House of the Dead 2"
Agent G is one of the 2 playable protagonists from The house of the dead 1.
At the start of the house of the dead 2 the two new protagonists find G in an injured state.
The first boss fight features a flying batlike creature that mocks the two protagonists by saying "seems like my advice had no affect. Suffer like G did?"
The line delivery is hilarious and weird, much like the rest of the dialogue in that game.
@Curien98 thank you, that was extremely helpful. Finally have my answer!
@SoulChimera so I got my PS5 in February this year and I went to Sony site and applied for the adapter. It took like 2 months to come in the post I live in southeast London.
@Justjuzy It seems completely random. Some people got it in a week, others never got one at all.
The worst part about mine is, I have 2 PSVR’s. I’ve applied with both (to different addresses) and haven’t received either.
I just find it funny that 18 months and they still keep replying with the same copy and paste response stating it’s on the way but late due to shipping delays and Covid.
I could’ve walked to their warehouse in Germany and back about 100 times now. Haha.
Just glad they were easy to purchase off EBay. £50 but worth it. Sony should give you the opportunity to buy them as well.
That's great but they could also add support for the Sinden lightgun!
