Absolute trash. Please don't support this. All SEGA need to do is just release a collection of the originals, and stay as far away from Megapixel as they can.
 
I'll probably get it on the Switch 2. Should be best playing with the motion controls on the joycons.

How am I expected to play this without a gun?

Bad timing considering light guns are going to make a comeback soon, should've waited.

Might have to look into getting a Sinden gun and setup for PC from what I looked into -

I imagine this will possible apply with this hopefully? Maybe have to wait but it'll be the usual controls without above.
 
What the hell is up with that piss and shit filters they are using. I was playing the original the other night and I loved how much the colours popped. We will indeed suffer like G.

Thread 'Light Guns are back (thanks to AI)'

One thing that's been incredibly frustrating about modern gaming is the lack of light gun games.

I recall having the Virtua Cop games on my Saturn on a 28" CRT screen and I was always excited about the prospect of playing these games on huge 65" screens

As TV sizes increased with LCD and OLED we lost the ability to use traditional style light guns, and while we got the likes of House of the Dead on Wii and Time Crisis 4 on PS3 with Move support it wasn't accurate enough, it just didn't feel the same.

But, it appears we may be about to see a huge resurgence of the genre thanks to AI and...

Thread '[The Game Business] “Reviving Sega will be the greatest achievement in my career” - Sega President Shuji Utsumi'

Sega president Shuji Utsumi on a resurgent Japan, the risks of nostalgia and why he believes in consoles



Hello. Welcome back. I missed you! Did you have a lovely weekend?

During my visit to Los Angeles for Summer Game Fest, I took a trip over to Burbank, California to meet Sega's Shuji Utsumi.

Utsumi-san is the CEO of Sega America and Sega Europe, and the COO and President of Sega Corporation. He's also a real industry veteran. Over his 30-year career, he produced the business plan for the first PlayStation. He oversaw first-party development...

This might literally be the worst remake I've ever seen, and I say that as someone who's actually fine with a lot of Forever's work.

They've taken a fantastic art style that has aged remarkably well and... ruined everything. The distinctive color palette is gone, the character/enemy models are hideous, there are visual effects are missing, the blood is completely unsatisfying and unpleasant to look at... they've destroyed an all-time classic. Unbelievable.
 
It's not good going by this review. I wish they didn't remake it. I want the original version to be ported but running at a higher resolution and perhaps with a higher frame rate and that's it.

This is nuts lol it looks fucking worse in every conceivable way. That shit looks like it had a $5,000 budget total. The font is hilarious too. I played this to death on Dreamcast so I know every second and it looks ridiculous.

I'm sure that's what everyone wants. Seems like it would be a hell of a lot easier than (shitty) full blown remakes? Kind of a bizarre choice. Give us Virtual Cop 1&2 ports too.

The original is blurry and had flat lighting. The remake looks so much better.

Honest question. Why are you guys buying this without a light gun? Are you playing it with a controller?

I remember drooling over the visuals of this gem back in the Dreamcast era.

They've taken a big shit on the series with this trash
 
What an epic fail not having a dedicated Switch 2 version for this. Can we even use the Switch 2's mouse mode for it?

Aside from that it needs to be higher resolution for christmas sake! Imagine having a pseudo timed exclusivity deal on Switch and not putting your best foot forward with Switch 2 version that could've provided an acceptable image quality at least

Do we know if Nintendo provided them with a dev kit in time to do that? It's looking like Nintendo was stingy as hell with just about everyone.
 
From what I understand this has no mouse support for the joycon 2 right?
Given that the first game was "ok" with gyro but still massively inaccurate the reports and reviews of the is new one are that it's hideous right now with gyro

I would buy it with mouse support, but it's not there right now as I understand it and no word from the devs as to whether that's going to be patched in down the line?
