house of the Dead 4 Special

[tonyvortex]

Iwent to Gameworks for my birthday today out in the Chicagoland area.As soon as i stepped in my heart stopped as i noticed the House of the Dead 4 special.This wasn't the standard version but a special edited version.It looks likes a giant box,you go inside and there is enough room for two.You get harnesed in and told how to play the game.During the game having the seat move back and forth from one screen to the one across was amazing.Has anyone else tried this?
i should edit this and show what it looks like as well.

Like so many shambling undead, units of the House of the Dead 4 Special arcade game have started making their way into select arcades and amusement centers throughout Japan.

An expanded version of House of the Dead 4, the two-player game sports many features geared toward increasing the players' sense of immersion. For example, it is fully enclosed and features a pair of 100-inch screens positioned in front of and behind the players. A five-speaker sound system provides the audio. Players sit on seats that automatically swivel throughout the game. The seats are force-feedback-enabled to provide jolts at appropriate moments, and blasts of air will tell players when they've been hit.

The gun controller--which is shaped like a submachine gun--will also use force feedback and can be set to full auto for mowing down multiple zombies. Lastly, when played in two-player mode, the game provides a compatibility rating for the players based on how well they played together.
2 100" screens, one in front of and one behind the players?

Oh, HELL yes.

Dear Sega,

More please. Thanks.

Love,
Everyone who ever played a video game.

PS - this thing's been out for a YEAR (in Japan) already? Holy shit!

I've heard of those, and always thought they were Japan only.

Our Jillians has 2 HotD4 machines. I wish they'd trade them for this version, though..

I spend most of my time playing After Burner Climax, anyway...
