New Trailer Shows Gameplay From Left 4 Dead's Japanese Arcade Port
We still don't know exactly how the game plays, or the structure of its cabinet, but a new trailer shows off how the gameplay will look.
Unsurprisingly, it looks a lot like Left 4 Dead. In fact, it looks exactly like Left 4 Dead, but with less accuracy, and what appears to be redisigned protagonists. Around the one-minute mark in the video (after the "Run and Shot" title card) there is a man in a plaid shirt that I don't recognize from Left 4 Dead, or is sequel.

Our Take
I'm curious how the gameplay works, because it doesn't look like an on-rails light-gun shooter – which was my original assumption of the game's mechanics. Left 4 Dead is best enjoyed with people next to you, so I like the idea of it being set up in arcade situation. It seems like it could work very well.
