VR Zone Shinjuku, Namco Bandai’s virtual reality arcade in Tokyo, is getting a four-on-four Ghost in the Shell team-based multiplayer shooter.

Dubbed Ghost in the Shell Arise: Stealth Hounds, the game straps a PC on players’ backs and outfits them with VR markers, VR googles and an arcade gun. Battles go down in a dedicated VR arena with each session lasting about 30 minutes.
The game fee is ¥JP2800 ($33), which isn’t cheap, plus the ¥JP800 ($9) admission ticket.

Is this done by the same guys behind Zero Latency?
Technology looks similar although the graphics look a bit more polished.
They signed with Sega a year ago, maybe this is a competitor

It would be better if the opposing teams were in separate rooms so that you couldn’t hear each other talk.
