Virtua Cop 4 interest from House of the Dead Overkill team

Virtua Cop 3 in arcades
In a recent interview with The House of the Dead: Overkill producer Neil McEwen, he admitted that the team at developer Headstrong Games would be interested in doing a Wii sequel to another Sega franchise, Virtua Cop. With Virtua Cop 3 having last been seen in arcades back in 2003, ít’d be a good time for Virtua Cop 4 to return to consoles as another Wii-exclusive rail shooter.

In response to “could you do Virtua Cop: Overkill?”, Mr. McEwen said: “Yeah, I mean the thing is, we spent a lot of time creating our characters, creating that universe, and we know where these characters came from, and where these characters go, and what their fathers and mothers did before. We really worked out this family tree and we kinda know, we’ve worked out where they go and what happens to them. And we’d love to do Virtua Cop or another light gun game for SEGA. Anything for SEGA’s fine!”
