Mouse support comes to House of the Dead on Xbox One

Forever Entertainment announced yesterday on Twitter that The House of the Dead: Remake on Xbox One now features mouse support.

The Tweet came alongside a video trailer that showcases gameplay utilizing a mouse to aim. Although fans and critics praise HotD: Remake for its faithfulness to the original, playing on a standard controller imposed limitations. While a using a mouse still doesn’t give players the same experience as a light gun, the increased fluidity remains an improvement.

In addition to mouse support for Xbox One, Forever Entertainment also added compatibility for PlayStation Move for the PS4 version. As a result, PlayStation 4 gamers can now utilize the motion tracking capabilities of their PS Move controller for a playthrough that’s more faithful to the original light gun arcade title. Alongside the PlayStation Move, the PSVR Aim Controller also works with HotD on PS4.

Other improvements include a redesigned UI, HD rumble and the option to change the blood color.

HotD: Remake also comes with two playable modes. Classic Mode resembles the playstyle of the ’90s classic, and Horde Mode quickens up the pace and swarms you with more enemies for a more chaotic playthrough.
