Topic
editThe character stories need to be in sync with House of the Dead itself in the game, not the series. Information about what the characters are doing in 2019 should be covered in conjunction with the House of the Dead III article.
- I've cleaned up the article conisderably. Story details are now in present tense; story and character details are now under one section; HotD detail placed before subsequent releases, movie.
Ports
editI think something should be said about the home console ports of the game, including the unique version for the Playstation 2 that is part of SEGA Superstars, where instead of shooting, you punch the zombies. Sincerely, --Horace Horatius 16:34, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
Where are the pictures of the bosses?
editIt would help if the pictures of the bosses were posted on this article. It would be even better if somebody could make articles of the bosses themselves. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.144.17.133 (talk) 22:53, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:4. Magician Screen (Old).PNG
editImage:4. Magician Screen (Old).PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Plot
editHi Dilbaggg, it's unclear to me what you mean with your edit summary "This isn't opinion, the statement is backed by sources within the article, you might as well delete the whole plot by your logic!" First, you've been here for some time, try to follow WP:BRD. Second, your edit in question was just not necessary, it doesn't help with understanding the topic. That Hangedman kills two people in front of the protagonists, does the general reader have to know that to understand the plot of The House of the Dead? No, they do not. Third, competence is required: it's "hordes", not "hoards" and you misspelled Hangedman as "Hnagedman". Please discuss your edits in the future, I noticed you've been adding a lot of unnecessary fluff to plot sections on video games. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 04:54, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
- Soetermans, please read WP pages before citing them; making a couple typos is not even remotely a competence is required issue. And the very first sentence of WP:BRD is "The BOLD, revert, discuss cycle (BRD) is one of many optional strategies that editors may use to seek consensus." [emphasis in original] Wikipedia is a collaborative encyclopedia, so demanding that a good faith editor discuss their edits in advance is not appropriate.
