This is the first I've heard of this. Anyone in Japan near Sonic Beam Matsudo willing to check it out? This sure brings back memories!

hell yes, too bad a decent home version is out of the question.

sn00zer · Feb 10, 2014

Ah cool...not a fan of the generic anime style the poster has, but I would be very interested in screenshots

There needs to be a mode where you can snipe out other people's Qpros.

Quadraphonic · Feb 10, 2014

How did they pick out the subtitle?

RoboPlato · Feb 10, 2014

Bone Eater? OK

Good to see SS is still around. Such a great arcade game that absolutely cannot be replicated anywhere outside of arcades.

cj_iwakura · Feb 10, 2014

Awesome. A real sniper's delight. I love Silent Scope.

Allforce · Feb 10, 2014

I love these games but they are a out as home-unfriendly as you can get.

Do you think with a plastic gun peripheral to snap a Vita or WiiU Gamepad into this series would work in a home setting? Like would the gyroscopes in those work with the raising and lowering to your face? I know it wouldn't be the exactly the same but it could be a decent experience on its own.

I'd love that for a wii u port

Chairhome · Jul 24, 2014

Apparently out now in Japanese arcades. I would LOVE a Wii U port. http://www.joystiq.com/2014/07/24/n...turns-to-japanese-arcades/?ncid=rss_truncated

To hawk my perspective on it: http://arcadeheroes.com/2014/07/22/new-trailer-konamis-silent-scope-bone-eater/

As mentioned in that post, I was standing in a conversation at a trade show recently where a major FEC chain in the US was talking with a major US arcade manufacturer about bringing the game here. I'm not sure what has happened since (usually arcade companies here are very tight-lipped about such things until games are rolling off the assembly line) but there is a lot of interest in having Silent Scope in arcades again, even though the hardware will be really expensive with that transparent LCD touch screen on it.

I will forever hate that stupid helicopter boss fight.

EDIT: The problem was more serious than I thought, had to be on with tech support for a few hours but NOW it is fixed, sorry about the trouble

Sell a cheap plastic rifle, with a slot for your smartphone, then have a companion app act as the scope view

Jawmuncher · Jul 24, 2014

Oh man I would love to play this.
Miss silent scope so much.

Was always surprised konami didn't make a western game out of the series in the vein of sniper elite.

SparksterMeta0 · Jul 24, 2014

Nice to know the series still exists.
But that name...

XxSlasherMcGirkxX said:

One of the two main snipers in the sequel, Dark Silhouette.

Nerdkiller · Jul 24, 2014

Do you think it could be possible that they could use the motion sensor of the DS4 if they were to ever bring the game to the PS4? It could work much like the way you use the console's on screen keypad. Also...

"I aught to club them and eat their bones!"

Shinriji · Jul 24, 2014

Silent Scope? Meh.

Bring back "The Keisatsukan". So many quarters wasted on it.

Silent Scope with machine guns.
Glad that didn't happen.

Then get shot by the cops lol...

Anyways, I just loved silent scope back in the day. Been ages since I last had a go with the game.

is that the arcade shooting game where you stand on a designated spot and by some dark magic the game follows you when you move your upper body?
I LOVED THAT SHIT

Banana Aeon · Jul 25, 2014

Wait, what happened to Silent Scope? Why is it all anime now?

Silent Scope used to be the jam, back when I lived in Germany. That and Time Crisis was always occupied. When I moved back to the states, never saw another machine again.

Cool, thanks for the updates. I haven't really kept up with this, and I totally missed that 4Gamer preview too. Looking at the hardware though, it looks really odd, especially for Silent Scope.

I mean, it's not even a whole gun....

If anything, it's probably to make the whole cabinet more compact.
