CAPCOM shows "Biohazard 4D Executer"

Located at Toshimaen amusement park in Tokyo, Japan, A short CG film based on the popular ”Biohazard” game series debuted on April 26, 2001. Approximately 20 minutes long, the film focuses on the fictional city of Raccoon, ground-zero for a deadly viral outbreak. The Story goes as a unit of 5 U.B.C.S. (Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service) members are sent to Raccoon in search of a missing female scientist. As they reach her research facility, however, they begin to realize that coming to Raccoon was more than they bargained for. All- in-all, the film outlines the work of Umbrella, the corporation responsible for production of the virus.

The film is shown on a 220 in. screen within a specially designed theater. Film viewers sit in chairs with built-in speakers and hydraulics. As opposed to using regular film, CAPCOM is using a propriety DVD system to show the film. Adult tickets, which can be purchased upon entering the park, cost 1,200 yen ($ 10.00) In attendance for the film’s debut were a handful of CAPCOM representatives, including Yoshiki Okamoto.
