Light Gun games?


I'm glad I went w/ a CRT set for that reason (among others). I was playing Crisis Zone and Time Crisis 2 last night. Hands down, the series is one of the most satisfying PS2 gaming experiences you can have. Totally pulls you in if you let it.

I know there was a HDTV (LCD, DLP, Plasma etc. compatible) light gun being marketed, but never looked into its performance. I don't think I've seen it at retail either.

Also, the XBOX and GC sucked for not having enough/any light gun games. PS2 is king in that category. Is there anything on the horizon?

Yep, but I haven't bought any light gun games yet for. Really needs to be a gun that can be used on any display. Then Sega and Namco can release some gun game compliations to tear thru.

I have a RPTV CRT, 57 inch Hitachi, it's god's gift to gaming.

Light gun for HD displays is a nightmare - different resolutions, different display tech. That's one aspect of the Revolution that might work well. Not a light gun per se, but a sort of laser pointer.

There's got to be a way. Camera hook up or something... If there isn't then we won't see any gun games on these next gen consoles...

That can't happen.

Do not worry....this light gun will work with any HDTV:

I've been eyeing that web site for a couple years now... Still, nothing.

I don't see Sega, NAMCO etc. designing games around that peripheral either.


One can hope tho.

But they can release a very inexpensive (or pack in) handle/trigger attachment for it. It seems to me that if any system is going to be getting gun games, it will be Revolution.

This is GAF, we don't play videogames:

If we want to play Madden, we'll go out and play football.
If we want to play Nintendogs, we'll go buy a dog.
If we want to play a lightgun game, we'll go shoot someone.

The greatest thing about my 57" Toshiba H84 CRT projo is that my Philips CD-I gun works fine. Maddog McCree is in the building.
