The House of the Dead (series)/WMG

If there's going to be a boss named "The Moon..."

• It would be an undead werewolf. For obvious reasons.

Wesker was slated to be Goldman's replacement.

• Face it, Wesker's working for another bio-engineering company, both are rather shady about their corporations, wear shades, and Wesker's been working for another Umbrella-like corporation, as revealed in Code Veronica.
• DBR Corporation is obviously an Umbrella front.
  • Umbrella Corporation is obviously a DBR front.
• Capcom teaming up with SEGA? ...I doubt it may happen.
• All Wesker jabbers on about is saving the world and killing humans...which is what Goldman did too.
  • Then, quite possibly, Goldman is the mental twin of Wesker?

The limping man in the canon endings of 3 and 4 is Harry.

• Taking a very close look at Harry's words and actions in 2 tends to result in a lot of suspicious coincidences and non-happenings. What's more, in 2, his leg was badly wounded...

House of the Dead 5 will be the final game in the "original" series; however, they will continue to make HOTD games as part of new lines like HOTD: Overkill.

• There are only 3 Tarot cards left to serve as bosses. I'm guessing that HOTD 5 will have 2 new Tarots + bringing back Magician, with the final boss of the series being "The Devil".
  • Actually, anticipating a six-stage extravaganza, this Troper is anticipating this order: Hanged Man (we never actually saw it expire, did we? Swan dive, yes. Swan song, no), Moon, Sun (or other mindless returnee), High Priestess, Magician/Star (depends on actions in that stage, affects the ending, fight Magician for the better endings), Devil. Devil will probably be stipulated as "Type Omega" and be the limping man's One-Winged Angel form.
    • The odd-numbered games in the series have four bosses.
• Instead of The Sun, it should be The Empress. If it takes place in Curien's mansion, it'll be the first boss, chasing the two players across a minecart system used to traverse a hidden underground portion of Curien's mansion. It'll be constantly cutting off parts of the minecarts.
  • Also, there'll be custom endings if you die on a boss, depending on which boss you died on.
    • 2 new Tarots? I vote The Aeon and The Universe!
    • I vote The Dark Ruler and The Light Ruler!!
• Actually, Overkill already has a sequel, story-wise...House of the Dead. Just House of the Dead. Yes, right where it all began. If SEGA continues to develop the series from the point where part 3 stopped (or 4, making it yet another interquel), then they will possibly try to go the same path as Headstrong Games went with naming the bosses. I.e.: using anything else than Tarots.
  • The editor also thinks Overkill will have no interquels. With Curien and Goldman mentioned ('But he [Clement] has friends. Powerful friends.'), the storyline will move on. And, quite possibly, Isaac didn't listen to the tape Caesar left for him, so G is the first AMS agent to warn his...ehrm, agency about this case. Not to say he also teams up with Rogan in part one...
• I think HOTD 5 will have the bosses in this order: The Moon->The High Priestess->Rematch with an old boss (presumably the Magician)->The Devil.
• One boss rematch should be a Dual Boss vs. Strength and Death.

Hot D 5 will take place back at Curien's mansion.

• This is where Curien and Goldman began their research into creating the abominations meant to rule over humanity...and, I suppose, life and evolution as well (can't let anything else as reckless as humanity evolve ever again, can they?) This is where it will likely end, too.
  • This would be pretty awesome, and rolling along with the idea of revolution, it would be a great place to end, cause all the mutants could have evolved into bigger, stronger, scarier, harder to shoot mutants.

The zombies are not made from actual humans.

A lot of the zombies look like clones of each other, and there are far too many zombies that look exactly the same for them to be actual people. The fact that they also sometimes either melt into a puddle of blood or just vanish when they die also suggests that they must be made from some sort of biological material that is similar to what humans are made of, but different.

• Sister Joy cloning method, maybe?

Goldman is the G-Man.

They're too similar not to be - though Goldman really improved his diction and speech in Half Life.

• "G" is also Gordon Freeman, going with this theory. When G says (In the House of the Dead 4 Special) "I have found the Source." He's talking about the source for the Xen Portals (Not the Source Engine, although humorous), and how they were able to operate. Before the original House of the Dead, G was Gordon Freeman, and after the Black Mesa Incident, G-man (Goldman), after Gordon (G) accepted his offer, thrusted Gordon into the enlisting area of the AMS. Someway, somehow, Gordon had a feeling to keep shut about his true self, and just go along with the training. He does not have to do so for long, as his name, bio, and even Blood Type are cleared and held Top Secret by the AMS. Gordon gives himself a clean-shave, and cue the events of the House of the Dead series under the name 'G'. After Hot D 4, 'G' is visited by Goldman/G-Man once more, and is thrust into the world of Half-Life 2. Cue the events of Half Life 2 and its episodes, and you have a confused and nearly mentally-unstable G, unsure of who to trust and what to believe, but he is certain of one thing, and one thing only: These two worlds are connected somehow. G-Man is involved in both, but why? How? Gordon constantly ponders such things, yet still keeps on shooting at Combine Soldiers...

Hot D 5 will have G and Isaac team up again

• I mean, you still have to remember the fact that Isaac's pops is still alive. That and G will only tell Isaac his real name in this game.

Goldman's death is just an illusion.

Some points:

• James and Gary are the only witnesses who saw Goldman committing suicide, and what else is that no one else looked up for his body. Even they manage to do so, they can't tell he's dead because of looking calm.
