#New walking dead game at dave and busters series
It’s the first entry in the series to use the Unreal Engine, the tools created by Epic Games to power everything from Fortnite to interior design projects.
Scarlet Dawn does share a few traits with its contemporaries. If console and mobile games are IV drips, spreading their pleasure across dozens of hours, Scarlet Dawn is a syringe to the chest. The end of Scarlet Dawn’s prologue hits that euphoric high note. For a few minutes, for a few quarters, you are no longer in a smoky pizza shop or a hotel entertainment room that stunk of chlorine tabs. If you’re over 20, you might remember the intense jolt and awe of a great arcade game. A colossal robot hulks through the fire, repurposing zombies into flailing projectiles. I’m stranded in a multi-story lobby elegantly lite by strings of white lights and flame that - faster than you can say “we’re doomed” - engulf the entire complex.ĭozens of zombies fall over themselves down the lobby’s spiral staircase. With the basics established, the prologue culminates with a surprisingly elaborate and botched helicopter escape. Some are big, some are small, some appear to be cosplaying as their favorite Dickens characters.

It gains traction in a hurry, introducing a variety of zombies that slump through halls, crash through windows and climb on ceilings. The prologue progresses most like the series’ 1996 debut, dropping me among party guests in what feels at first like a castle and then like a five-star hotel. The campaign takes places across five missions: a prologue, a finale and three middle missions that can be played in order of one’s choosing. Scarlet Dawn itself is a thrill, with or without your eyes being dried by pressurized air. The best place to experience the doodads is a few feet behind the cabinet, watching the game safely through its fogged rear window. The marketing term is “five-dimensions.” The reality is a glaring red light, an air chamber that blasts me right in the eyes and a sound system in a pissing match with a jet engine. Two players can sit on a bench inside the chamber, where they will find a pair of plastic light guns and a slew of gizmos that bombard the senses. No need to even spend money to appreciate the most immediate change to the series Scarlet Dawn is tucked inside a humongous cube of wood and plastic, larded with gaudy technology. Weeks ago, I had a chance to play the majority of Scarlet Dawn in Japan, where the new House of the Dead has taken the last year to establish itself in the city’s dense and lively arcade scene. After a nine-year arcade hiatus, the franchise still doesn’t have brains, though it has just enough blood and guts to make up for it. This month, House of the Dead Scarlet Dawn cabinets will begin to appear in Dave & Buster’s across the United States. Like the walking dead, Sega is undeterred by human logic. In 2018, we have too many zombies and too few arcades - an inadvisable moment for Sega’s zombie arcade series House of the Dead to rise from the grave.
