Namco Bandai is keeping the flame of light-gun shooting burning with Razing Storm, a new arcade shooter planned for release in 2009. The game, which we found via Siliconera (http://www.siliconera.com/2008/09/17/razing-storm-an-arcade-light-gun-game-built-with-ps3-hardware), looks like it might be taking a page from the developer's own Time Crisis series, with what appears to be a foot pedal for thrilling ducking-and-standing action.

It may not look like much in the heavily-artifacted screen shots provided by the company — embedded in the press release for minimal graphical clarity — but the game is running on the System 357 hardware platform. That's the same one used by Tekken 6 and based on Sony's PlayStation 3. Take a peek after the jump.

According to Siliconera's report, the title's gimmick appears to be heavy environmental destruction. Hence that "razing" in the title. Clever.Seems likely to me to make use of that light gun they sold to people with Time Crisis 4.

I think you mean TC4 Frisky. ;)

Yeah, I figured more light gun games would be coming to PS3 one day due to the gun being out and them making a PS3 arcade board. I hope so, because I'd buy.

At first I thought Geese Howard was getting his own lightgun game...

Oh, I see what you did there.
