This news deserves its own thread, not to be a bit part in a weekly train simulation wankathon thread!

Nice way to cover up making an ass out of yourself. You even took the same exact url that neo2046 posted.

I was all onboard until I saw that it will require me to mount two sensors/cameras to my screen :(

Wires wires wires, mounting this and that... If they announce Point Blank I'll consider it again but it's too much hassle for what it is right now

Proc · (06-13-2007, 06:08 PM)

mmm, I hope they make a new point blank for ps3

Draft · (06-13-2007, 06:08 PM)

Is that a... nunchuck next to that gun?

It's attached to the gun (and hopefully reversible for lefties).

So THAT's how they do it. I asked in the SC4 thread how the hell do they work.

My LCOS is safe. Day 1 purchase.

kammy · (06-13-2007, 06:16 PM)

As long as its as accurate and badass as Guncon2 I'll be gettting it!

Hell even if its a peice of shit, i'll be getting it.

Time Crisis fo life yo!

That's actually connected to the gun.

It looks exactly like a nunchuck. I see the Z and C buttons on the front and then there's the stick. It's like Bamco raided a Nintendo factory, stole some nunchucks and tacked it onto their Guncon.

erlim · (06-13-2007, 06:37 PM)

Does anybody know if this will work on guncon 1 and guncon 2 games?

I take it the dodgy colour in the US is due to gun crime etc?

The game will propably be in english in both versions, so you can just import the jp version.

jarrod · (06-13-2007, 06:39 PM)

Point Blank should go to Wii, it's more carnivalesque and lower end visually anyway. Let PS3 have Cobra: The Arcade and Vampire Night 2 instead. ;)

Where is this image from?

Looking at this image, it looks like all those buttons and stuff on the controller actually do nothing and are just part of the gun mould. What's the nunchuk part for? TC4 didn't have one in arcades.

Looks like I'm getting me a PS3. God, I love Time Crisis.

Green Shinobi · (06-13-2007, 06:43 PM)

So is this a PS3 exclusive?

Jim · (06-13-2007, 06:46 PM)

So that EBGames listing was legit all that time, unsurprisingly: http://www.ebgames.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=270088

:-O

Jarrod, you're killing me with these types of hints/posts :-(

kammy · (06-13-2007, 06:47 PM)

Whens it out in Japan?

I cant wait till what ever the 13th month of the year is!

gkrykewy · (06-13-2007, 06:49 PM)

Any chance of a 360 release? Perhaps AC6 and TC4 swapping after 6 months or so?

Right because heaven knows we can't have a multiplatform game.

Lawsuit waiting to happen if true, trust me.

yeah, that shitty 3rd party company that released an n64 pad shaped like that aint gonna be happy

Zefah · (06-13-2007, 07:15 PM)

I wonder if they are going to enhance the graphics for the PS3 release. The arcade version looks almost like a PS2 game.

Buffy4ever · (06-13-2007, 07:18 PM)

to me it looks like it is part of the gun.

Look at the nunchuck thingy. There's an analog (?) stick at the top...or at least it looks like one.

EDIT: Nevermind, with a different perspective I'm seeing it attached

ksamedi · (06-13-2007, 07:25 PM)

For which platforms are these games?

Probably because it runs on PS2 hardware. :P

womfalcs3 · (06-13-2007, 07:34 PM)

Man, I was hoping for a wireless gun.

dammitmattt · (06-13-2007, 07:35 PM)

I don't see why they wouldn't throw it on all 3 platforms. The Wii could easily handle the arcade version, and you could upgrade it for next gen, of course.

Lord Error · (06-13-2007, 07:40 PM)

A gun game that works with any TV? That's good news, too bad the gun still has the cable.

I'm guessing the game itself will be enhanced at least T5DR / PSN style

Wait 'til there is TV show called "The Namco Bazaar" and then you can bargain for an exchange/swap

Aggelos · (06-13-2007, 11:08 PM)

soundwave05 · (06-13-2007, 11:12 PM)

So $90 for this?

Ugh. I know, I know, but really this is one game that would make a lot more sense on the Wii ... this is gonna cost like $150 for a good co-op game (which is most of the fun in a TC game) and the nunchaku thing attached to the controller ... just looks weird. Where a gun shell for the Wii would add $5 or $10 to the game and the graphics are Wii-level anyway.

Does the gun have force feedback at least?

beermonkey@tehbias · (06-14-2007, 12:06 AM)

Multiple sensors (expected), $90...

It's a must buy once they get some Point Blank going (a no brainer for PSN); classic TC games would be good too.

I'd like to see some more support announced before I buy, but I may get it regardless.

What Wii game demonstrates down-the-barrel, single-pixel accuracy like a GunCon provides?

Heh...I just found out my buddy Patrick is the narrator.

my post from the other thread:

For Time Crisis 4, it will be interesting to see if this new "Mission Mode" will replace both the Crisis Missions that Time Crisis II, 3, and Crisis Zone had or the "console exclusive scenario" for 3rd protagonist. For the home ports of Time Crisis:

Time Crisis 1 - exclusive original scenario that takes place sometime after the rescue of Rachel and to introduces the "other" villain in the series, Kantaris. Richard infiltrates a hotel that is actually Kantaris headquarters.

Time Crisis II - exclusive Crisis Missions with the arcade port of two other Namco Arcade shooters. No exclusive scenaro for Christ Ryan. There are several new cutscenes too that where not in the Arcade version. The soundtrack is also different and sounds abit "inferior" to the original Arcade release.

Time Crisis 3 - Crisis Missions return but also introduces another console exclusive scenario for 3rd protagonist Alicia Winston. This adds more depth to the story and gameplay where it shows Alicia infiltrating Lukano looking for her brother the night before VSSE dispatches Alan and Wesley. Also another villain, Jake Hernandez is introduced to go against Alicia Winston. Alicia's exclusive scenario also has a weapon level system where throughout the game, dependent on which ever weapon she uses, it will gain more rounds and firepower.

Crisis Zone - Crisis Missions return along with another console exclusive scenario that takes place 6 months after the URDA incident. It's important to note that Namco practically REmade this game for PS2. Graphics where upgraded like Time Crisis II but character designs, dialogue, and the soundtrack where altered. Newcomer URDA Jared (Jarrod :P) Hunter is the new URDA leader and kidnaps the STF Commander's daughter and will release her upon the release of all remaining URDA held captive after Derrik Lynch's defeat.

I hope in addition to the 1st person controlled Mission Modes, a console exclusive Captain William Rush scenario will be added like Alicia Winston had in Time Crisis 3. We could see how William Rush arrived at the Airport before Georgio and Evan did in Prologue and even his first encounter with the Terror Bites. But, if there is a Captain Rush scenario, then will Namco alter the 2-3 screen battles with Rush doing the shootouts? Mainly when he is the character unlocking a door while Georgio and Evan are covering him in Stage 1.

Namco lightgun bundles were $60 for PS2. The games were sold alone at $40 and even in Japan and Europe, the Guncon2's where separately for $40. Purchasing the bunlded saves $20 at least. If the online retailers are correct, then Time Crisis 4 + Guncon 3 at $90 = $60 for standalone Time Crisis 4 and $30 for Guncon3. Not bad. Also this is the 10th anniversary of the series this year. So maybe Namco has a Time Crisis 4 10th anniversary bundle in mind like with Tekken 5 Collector's Edition. Wishful thinking:

Time Crisis 4 10th Anniversary Collector's Edition
+Guncon3 backwards compatible with past PS1/PS2 Guncon titles
+Arcade mode
+1st person Mission mode (Rush focused)
+Crisis Missions (VSSE Agent focused)
+Exclusive Captain William Rush Scenario
+Online ranking upload
+Downloadable Crisis Missions via PSN
+Arcade History Mode with arcade perfects of:
Super System 22 Time Crisis
System 23 Time Crisis II
Super System 23 Crisis Zone

I'd wait until we get Guncon3 details before throwing that one out... going by the images, it looks like it may use a Wii-esque approach thanks to HD sets.

I'm not saying yay or nay anywhere, just that we haven't yet seen a true lightgun implementation on the Wii.

I have a Wii and I'd love to see some real lightgun (not 'pointer') games, and hopefully we do get them and it works great.

Buffy4ever · (06-14-2007, 12:17 AM)

Please Sony get the PS3 price down to $400. I want this game

Doesn't the death of CRT make that impossible?

That Wired story says it's using a camera and is extremely Wii-like. I don't see how they get any more accuracy than Wii. And it's pretty much that or nothing with the advent of HD.
