jp Dark Escape 3D

Dark Escape 3DDark Escape 3D is a new horror lightgun game from Bandai Namco released in Japan today. In this game in stereoscopic 3D, players are equipped with 3D glasses and use fixed machine guns that do not need to be recharged for non-stop action. Gun handle features a sensor detecting player's heart rate and displaying it on the screen, at the end of the game, a voice announces "Was scared" if the player's heart rate reached some value several times... To scare the bravest players, the developers did not skimp on resources: the seats vibrate quite violently (eg when a huge monster walks towards the player), air blows on the face and the neck to add realism, the cabinet is equipped with a 5.1 Surround system to give the impression of being surrounded by creatures more hostile than each other and with the stereoscopic 3D, monsters arise just in font of player's face. Dark Escape 3D has been tested in other Asian countries and a worldwide release is scheduled by Bandai Namco (the game has already been translated into six languages).

But also Dark Chapel, living dolls house, The House of the Dead 4 Special, Sonic Night of the Werehog 3D (for younger children), and a roller coaster where you shoot zombies: Veil of Dark (which replaces Spin Bullet). To celebrate the event, Hatsune Miku will give daily concerts on the stage in the center of the complex until September 2.
