Why it matters
The cabinet treats the RE:2 license as a physical attraction, with floor vibration and air blasts doing work that a screen alone cannot, which is the argument arcades are making for location play.
Key Facts
- BIOHAZARD RE:2 ARCADE is in development at Bandai Namco Experience.
- The game is an arcade shooting game based on Capcom's Resident Evil RE:2.
- Players use a gun controller as Leon or Claire, both available in two-player play.
- The cabinet features floor vibration and air blasts from the front.
- Release date and price are undecided.
Players enter the cabinet and shoot zombies with a gun controller as Leon or Claire, both available in two-player play, through the police station and Raccoon City streets. The cabinet adds floor vibration and air blasts timed to zombie appearances. Release date and price are undecided.
The cabinet itself carries part of the design. Air blasts out from the front at the moment a zombie suddenly appears, and the floor rumbles during sudden-turn scenes, so the horror is delivered through the seat as well as the screen.
In the Story Mode playable at the venue, scenes advance rapidly in arcade style. Head shots are the basic approach, but zombies wobble their heads as they approach, so players have to read the movement. Reloading is done by pointing the gun off-screen, and each cleared scene ends with a GOOD or EXCELLENT rating before the next begins without a break. A shootable Mr. Raccoon appears in scenes that look like movie footage.
