This is the first video of Resident Evil 2: Dead Shot, a new arcade version of Capcom’s classic arcade version – now available for testing cabinets in the UK

There is a new version of Resident Evil 2, which is specially made for arcades, and its earlier versions are already available on Namco Funscape in the UK.
Dead Shot, because this on-track iteration is well known, is the product of a collaboration between Bandai Namco and Capcom to create a brand new arcade iteration of the survival horror classic of the latter.
IGN visited Namco Funscape in Romford, northeast London and took a hands-on approach with Dead Inspoy, just like you can see in the first video above.
In it, we can see that the Dead has divided the narrative of Resident Evil 2 into five episodes, with the first two episodes unlocked. It is believed that the arcade cabinet has been installed in Namco Funscape for testing, and after the public performance, early bugs were ironed.
The first episode of Dead Shot is its preface, and the second episode is titled “Hunted.” The game then loads the preface, introducing the environment of Resident Evil 2 to the player: “Leon and Claire find each other on the streets of Raccoon City. Chased by zombies, they evacuate to the police station and find only further horror inside.”
As you select a plot, the rigid hands shatter on the screen, pulling you (and your partner) in.
The opening section sees Leon and Claire struggling to enter the Raccoon City Police Department, the zombie cops and zombie dogs of the past. The visuals of the game appear to be based on Capcom's 2019 Resident Evil 2 Remake.
Once inside the building, the two introduced each other before more zombie policemen interrupted the party. Still, there is time to do some fairs from just a standstill policeman Marvin Branagh before the action continues.
Like other Arcade Lightgun games, you need to point the gun to the screen and then pull the trigger to reload. You will automatically reload when your bullets run out, but manual reloading is faster.
It's not clear that Resident Evil 2: Dead Shot remains playable in Namco Funscape, but if you get off in the near future, be aware of the cabinet with images of Leon, Claire and Ada Wong printed on it.
It's an interesting thing to see Raccoon City's Resident Evil series again before next year's franchise. Resident Evil: Requiem.
Capcom made fun of it Requiem will return to “The Overall Narrative of Resident Evil” which began 30 years ago,one Early trailer has seen the reappearance of RCPD – Despite the destruction of Life Crisis 3 later.Fans are also sure Leon will appearalthough Capcom has maintained Schtum for the moment. )
