Bandai Namco has filed new Time Crisis and Steel Gunner trademarks | VGC

The last Time Crisis game was released in 2015…

www.videogameschronicle.com

The trademarks cover goods including “arcade video game machines” and “recorded computer game software,” and services such as “providing online video games” and “a computer game that may be accessed network-wide by network users via computers.”

It’s unclear if the trademark applications are indicative of any plans to revive the series with new entries.

But I'll make a thread for it anyway because I post pretty much anything slightly related to video games that I find on youtube/google/wherever, old or new, interesting or not, like I'm some kind of kotaku powered twitter bot.

Either way, back on topic...new time crisis would be dopee

IbizaPocholo thank you for always making threads.

 

[AREYOUOKAY?]

I bet it's gonna be one of those shitty overpriced Arcade1UP things.

PSVR2 Time Crisis would sure be a giant soccer kick to the nads for me since I wasn't planning on getting it.

Came to say hope there is a PSVR 2 game.

... In a Videogames forum zomg!!! Get a life boy.
And renewal copyright could hint maybe at some kind of port for ps plus classics or... maybe an arcade Collection or an enanched title for psvr2?

Even if I kinda agree in that he sometimes flood the board I appreciate his effort and hey, at the very least I like his threads better than other's that aren't so much about videogames but rather tech or business stuff which I personally don't care too much about.

In this case I wouldn't look too much into it. Companies trademark their old shit all the time and it might not be indicative of anything.

I think there's been a rumour for a while about an Arcade1up Time Crisis cab featuring 1&2 and possibly Point blank.

 

[Holammer]

Sounds a property that would be ripe for a VR game tbh.

I’ve been saying for some time now that VR is the perfect platform for a light gun genre resurgence.

I figured he'd pick up the news I left.

A fast-paced light gun game in (todays) VR sounds like an unmitigated disaster.

It's pretty much the best way to play existing fast paced lightgun games without the need for a CRT and/or niche lightguns without losing any of the fun so. Actual made for VR lightgun style games also show the potential, though of course they lack the pedigree of those Sega/Namco teams...


Unless by "today's" you mean some dodgy PSVR1-type thing that was outdated and flawed on release and doesn't represent the medium at its best since about 2016 which could easily replicate anything lightguns can do without being so restricting but rather limitless in its use case, WRONG!

Actually yes, because I would expect a new Time Crisis to be exclusive to PS like the last 4.

In this case, the PSVR2 would have to be a pretty big improvement over PSVR1 for a fast-paced light gun game with high graphical quality.

It is. It would play perfectly like in any arcade experience you've had and then some. Of course there's also zero reason for one to be exclusive (if not paid) when there are other capable VR enabled platforms, compared to viable platforms that had anything resembling a lightgun in the past.

Lets gooooo.. vr only version please.

Time Crisis has been Sony controlled since Time Crisis 1, so I just have this strong feeling it's not going to be on anything else, unless it does well and Sony gets their PC department to help them port it to PC.

Also, if the unlikely but not improbable theory that the PSVR2 may be compatible to work with PS5 AND PC, then there would be less of a reason to port the game outside Sony's ecosystem.
