Light gun discussion thread - Game Deals Inside!

[gamefreak]

Yeah, I think I found it. Should be good :)

[gamefreak]

Beat TC2 and unlocked everything, quite a fun game.

I decided to go ahead and grab TC3 with a gun as the Guncon is a nice gun and I'd rather not mess with import guns and shipping etc.

(Plus it's only about $10 to get a Guncon 2 with TC3 vs TC3 with one.)

[CouRageouS]

Cool to see this thread is bringing in some more light gunners. How bout a website update punq?

[punqsux]

its still alive!

basically all ive been doing latley is working for school or driving home and back. but its going.

i have the basic set up complete. ike a page on each game (ps1+2 for now) and stuff, i just need to get some reviews on them but first, i need to maake a grading scale for the reviews, since the games will be light gun only, it'd be unfair to judgethem on gameplay, because the core gameplay is almost always the same. the story is of very little importannce. i was thinking of rating on action, innovation, bonuses, graphics/sound things like that.

anyone have any feedback on how a light gun game review would work?

[gamefreak]

Level design is a big part as are difficulty and replayability.

[Cornfedwb]

Anyone seen this gun.. or have any idea if its worth a crap?

[CouRageouS]

Here are some thoughts...

Gameplay: While is it the same core gameplay, theres still differences through TC style, Gun Survivor style, Point Blank Gallery style, etc. There could be a score somewhat based on how well the style is put to use.

Action : Score based on the flow of the game. How much does it keep you on your toes? Are you blazing through with enemies everywhere or do you take a couple shots then sit back and wait (Endgame)? Are you manhandling armies just your handgun or do you have tons of options (Dino Stalker)?

Innovation : *Oh boy another train level! I hope someone won't pop out from behind that seat!* How innovative are the level designs and did you just kill that same guy a second ago/ Maybe he has a twin. (enemy design).

Controls: This would mostly apply if you were rating a arcade game. You can rate the cabinet/controller here. Like HoD3's Shotgun, Namco's recoil guns, Sniper scope rifles, etc. Theres tons of different arcade peripherials. Anyone play the Egyptian game with the weird ass shaped gun? For console, it would be perhaps a rating or recommendation on what gun to use. Gun Surivors controls would definately need to be mentioned. Then also maybe rate its playability with a Dual Shock 2 controller, taking consideration it was meant to play with a gun.

Graphics/Sound : Basically rate the graphics with consideration of when the game's age. Just if its polished enough or if theres any breakdown. Sound should just be graded on whether or not its efficient to the game. Like does the music fit and do the gunshots sound liek they should. And how annoying is it when it keeps saying RELOAD! (House of Dead 2)

Lasting Appeal/Replay Value : While most games average about a half hour to play through, what bonuses, modes, other paths, etc make it worthwhile to play through again. The game would game extra points for 2 player compatibility. TC would get points here being that playing as the first or second player, its slightly different.

for the last time I must know these questions based on this lightgun that I plan on buying, sit back and read carefully, first the link for the guncon I want too buy, check it out: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-5n-70-18o.html
1. Will this light gun work on my ps2
2. Will this light gun work with ps1 games I use on my ps2
3. Can a light gun or any form of ps2 gun work if I am using an RF switch
*NUMBER THREE IS VERY IMPORTANT*
4. Do I have too connect this particular guncon too my tv in anyway since my tv is seperated from my ps2 by at least one shelf, could make gameplay uncomfortable
5. Is this a NA compatible lightgun, since I have a NA ps2
thanks in advance.

1. Yes it will work with no problem.
2. Yes, you use the controller plug for PS1 (GunCon1/Light gun) games and the USB(GunCon2) is for PS2
3. You can use it providing that you get an AV adapter. It costs around $15 I think. I have one that I used to use with my GunCon1. I'll post of pic of it in a sec.
4. All guns connect through the yellow AV cable. GunCon2s come with a extention for setups that need them, import guns don't but I'm pretty sure they're cheap at Radioshack. I can post a pic of that if you want too.
5. Controllers are region free so it won't be a problem.

You would connect this between your PS2 and RF switch. Then the lightgun's yellow cable plugs into the AV adapter. Presto!

[Nirvanaguy777]

ok so if i were too get a guncon 1 i would need the adapter above, but if i got a guncon 2 i wouldnt need the adapter, then again i wouldnt be able too use ps1 games with the guncon 2

[gamefreak]

For two guns do you just plug one gun into one end of the splitter and the other into the other?

For some reason my second gun can first but the reload/duck buttons are screwed up (none of them work in the game but the work to stop calibrating). I really have no clue what I'm doing wrong. The guns buttons feel a bit mushy compared to the first but it still seems like they aught to work. Maybe I'll just return it...

[CouRageouS]

No you only need the adapter if you are connecting your ps2 via rf switch, ff you're using the standard av cables you are fine without it. All guns need to connect to both the TV and PS2 in some way. TV via video cable, PS2 via USB or Controller port.

[CouRageouS]

Gamefreak, for 2 guns just follow the directions included in either the game manual or the TC2/3 big box. Make sure everythings in securely. If it doesn't work after that, it might be broken.

Also note in the guidelines for the gun, it says not to use other infrared objects while using the gun. Perhaps you were using the TV remote or something? I was playing Dino Stalker once and while I was playing I tweaked the volume and then the calibration was all off.

[gamefreak]

Nah, the gun shoots fine it's just the buttons don't work. I'll go try again later.

[CouRageouS]

I don't use that adapter anymore, its real old so I don't know where you'd find one. Just search for AV adapter or something. I just have it from my GunCon1 days when my PS1 was connected to an old TV via RF switch. Hooking your gun up really isn't so much trouble, you'll have instructions included with whatever gun you get anyway.

On another note, I was at CC today..

$9.99 Madcatz blaster. Didn't see it on the CC site. That guns had mixed reviews but for $20 for a pair, thats pretty good. I might use my free $10 from WWE:DOR to get one tomorrow just for the hell of it.

Hmmm I wonder if the Xbox version of the MC Blaster is $10 too. I could use a second Xbox gun.

Called the Freeshot. Its wireless, ugly and unheard of but I thought I'd just pass it on. $40 suposively coming out next week. I don't know if thats realiable though. Even though it doesn't look like a real gun, isn't there a law now that prohibits toy guns from being black?

i saw this in a b&m store and it looked ridiculous.

the grip and the barrel are not at their normal angles, it looks as if the gun would always be shooting up unless you held the gun at an odd angle.

if i were going wireless i would prolly try this out:

lol nevermind thats a pal gun, i read the reviews and it comes with a UK plug and will not work on 100mhz tvs

[Nirvanaguy777]

guess that wireless guns sucks after all, i prepher the wire controllers anyway, dunno why

[CouRageouS]

Yea I read the reviews on them too. Cost too much and I'd rather have colored lightguns away.

[Nirvanaguy777]

do you think the madcatz blaster is really compatible with ps1 games, i dont want too get one and a bunch of ps1 games all for it not too end up working, oh and i found the adapter i think, cheap at amazon

[daikaiju]

I mentioned this earlier in the thread, but don't see it listed in the imports on the OP...so just in case punq didn't see this...


"import gungame that nobody has mentioned - Rescue Shot Bubido. This is a ps1 Guncon game that Namco put out. Pretty strange actually - a rabbit that looks kinda like Doraemon hops through stages while you protect him by shooting falling objects and capping odd looking foes while shooting magic mushroom powerups etc. I guess it's sort of story driven, but I know absolutely 0 Japanese. However, it's not required to get the gist of what you need to do - like all gun games - SHOOT EVERYTHING!"

[CouRageouS]

do you think the madcatz blaster is really compatible with ps1 games, i dont want too get one and a bunch of ps1 games all for it not too end up working, oh and i found the adapter i think, cheap at amazon

The answer to your questions in this thread already..if you would just simply read through it, you would already know this (and a lot more)..
If a lightgun has..
-Controller Plug on a gun = PS1 compatible
-USB Plug = PS2 Compatible
-Both Plugs = PS1/2 Compatible (Most Third party guns made for the PS2 have both, if it doesn't then it was made for the PS1)
So yea, the Madcatz Blaster will work with PS1 games because it has both plugs.

So this will let me play light gun games on my tv if it only has an RF connection? Also any cheaper prices on it?

[CouRageouS]

Yea the adapter is basically for if you're using an RF or S Video connection. The price is usually around $15 but I'd say try to find a used one if you can.

BTW, I got my pair Desert Eagles today! WOO HOO! Punq rules! Punq rules! Now I want pedals! Still need Vampire Night and TC2 to complete my PS2 set. Oh yea Starsky and Hutch too, but thats only a semi-lightgun game.

Try your local Gamestop, below is a link to the cable preowned. Just put in your zipcode and choose the distance you want to drive.

http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=900319

I picked up 2 of these and they work just like the Sony one. You may even get lucky and find a Sony one at your local store.

[jimbodan]

Just my luck, none in stock for over 20 miles. I couldn't find them on ebgames.com, I guess I'll have to pay the 15, or just wait until I get a tv that doesn't suck.

I always put in like 100 miles just to see if any store has it. I found a copy of Rez that way.

[nikkai]

Hi all , I have a question and seriously don't want to search through 16 pages of my gun is bigger than your gun... =)

I'd like to connect my guns (2) but I go through a HT-Receiver + I use S-Video and Digital Sound...

Thus my question - Do I just plug in the component cords into the TV - bypassing the receiver or does having a receiver make this very difficult? Thanks

[Duo_Maxwell]

feedback on the site please ^^

I like the layout punq, it's lookin' quite good IMO. You should let us know if you need us to help find info on the games or do reviews or whatever, I'm sure there's many of us that'll gladly help.

On a sidenote I stopped my college's student union to see what was new in the hallway they like to call an arcade. They got somenew games from last year and it's like lightgun gaming heaven there. Out of the probably 20 total machines, 8 of them are lightgun games. Also them have a nice amount of fighters and pinball machines, in other words about 95% of the total arcade is made up of my 3 favorite arcade genres. Needless to say, I'll be killing time at the student union's arcade more often now.

[CouRageouS]

Layout is great, real easy to navigate. Everything loads lightning fast too. Just add an arcade section and maybe a section with just pictures/info of the lightguns themselves.

[Rig]

Wow, there's a lot of people who love the light gun games! I wish I had some money to buy some of these games.

[-BigC-]

I won the Auction for Green Missions :D

Waiting to get them here now

There a place to buy black covers for it so it can look like a DE?

[jimbodan]

The site looks good, just needs info and some reviews. Keep up the good work!

I also found out that my RF adapter has a place for a light gun hook ( I dunno why I never bothered to look at it and check) so I'm now good to go on lightgun games. I just bought Ninja Assualt, Die Hard Trilogy 1 and 2, Gunfighter Jesse James, and Area 51. I figure that should tide me over for a bit.

area 51 and ninja assault are great games. the die hards are good...never played gunfighter

[jimbodan]

Yeah I loved Area 51 in the arcades, I think the Jesse James game will be cool, it seems like all these critics expect some sort dynamic gameplay inovations from these light gun games.Gunfighter Jesse James seems like a good old fashioned shoot the bad guy game, nothing too complicated, which is exactly what I want from a light gun game. I hated Dead Aim because there was too much going on and it's a pain in the ass to control with the d-pad on the gun.

Have you played any of the point blank games? One of those is next on my list.

[punqsux]

yes all the point blanks are awesome, the best id say is 2, but they are all awesome and pretty mucht he same concept (think mario party with a gun and no board) so pick up whatever one you find cheapest

[jimbodan]

Are they fun to play single player at all and do you need 2 guns to play multiplayer?

[Theenternal]

Just a small bit of semi known advice for the new guys.

When placing an order for a new game a eb, you can always come and add one of the cheap ps1 shooter games that punq posted. That way you will get free shipping, which basically pays of something like Die Hard trilogy. So you can expand your light gun collection...or just cheap game collection.

And in addition to the 15% discount and freeshipping codes remember the eb card if you have one. With the free shipping, I also saved a whole 50 cents on Die hard :P

no I dont work for eb, and dont have any relations to them, although I wouldnt mind giving them a child if needed.


Anyways thanks punq!

[kraid]

Hmm, I have never owned a lightgun for the PS1 or PS2. I currently have a PS2 hooked up via component cables to my HDTV. Will the Guncon 2s work? The Xbox Rifle gun unfortunately was not HDTV compatible and I do not want to get stuck with Guncon 2s if I cannot use them. So can anyone verify that Guncon 2s work on HDTV and how they hook up to one of them. Thank you.

Ok quick question

Time Crisis 2 or 3?I could get either its a 5 dollar diffrence and Gamestop is having a buy 1 PO get 1 free sale 30 over 30 under as usual

[Duo_Maxwell]

Depends on the price but I'd say TC 3, well I like it more anyways. Come to hink of it i dont even now if my local GS is having this sale...I wish they did.

[Magician]

I'd go with Time Crisis 3, personally. There's more replayability value in it (at least for me). I would recommend getting both eventually, though. Definitely worth your money.

[Rig]

I just got the original (PS1) Time Crisis complete with box, and Guncon yesterday for $7. Not too bad, IMO.

[gamefreak]

Ahhhh, finally able to put some time into TC3 after much school. I was just wondering if it also had a dual gun mode as playing with 2 people is fun but not if you only get half the screen to look at :-/

[alfonsosoriano]

Man, I want RE: Dead Aim, but only for cheap.

[andrew333]

can someone give me market value on the original Time Crisis (Playstation) plus Guncon complete with box in mint condition?

Some people have reported success hooking up the green component cable to the pass through plug on the guncon2. This could only work on a direct view HDTV. It did not work on my direct view (I have a 36" sony HDTV, I forget the model).

Also, I bought the most common light-gun for xbox (I think madcatz?) and it says it is compatable with most direct-view HDTVs....unfortunately not mine.

I have a light gun that is sold by gamequestdirect which works with any TV and is based on camera technology you put on top of the TV. I must say it does not work very well. It works, but at 1/4 the sensitivity and cannot be 'aimed' like a normal light-gun (they reccomend holding it at your side).

The whole light-gun problem with HDTVs was really annoying for me since I also went on a light-gun game buying spree only to find none of the good light-guns work with my new TV. I decided to put my old 36" TV in my bedroom. Now I need to either move my PS2/XBOX upstairs when I want to play, or get new consoles (or wait for the next-gens since they will be backward compatible, then I can move the old systems upstairs hehe).

I hope they make lightguns that work with most/all HDTVs with the next-gen systems!

OP: Nija Assault is now 7.99 at ebgames.com without codes
RE: Dead Aim 17.99

Just order Op but I'll post my question here also since you all know guncons. I tried to hook mine guncons up but ran into problems. I plug the external video cable into a video rca port on my TV and then plug the ps2 video cable into the female end of it. Then when i put my guncons in the 2 prong female end at the oppostie end of the cable, i suddenly just lose my picture. Any help please?

With the GameCrazy light gun deals I think this thread deserves a bump.

Which series is better virtual cop or time crisis?

Which series is better virtual cop or time crisis?

I'm gonna say Virtua Cop because I spent my young life with that and my Stunner on the Saturn. In thruth though, the ducking system in Time Crisis probably makes that series better.
