I think it works with any TV. It comes with a Wii "sensor bar" (ie infrared light emitter) style thingy.

Good question...I will edit the OP.

I am there if it is $49.99

To those who have played it - is it worth it if you like gun games? Better/worse than Umbrella Chronicles?

I am a big gun game fan, and bought TC4 for $80. I love the game, and the accuracy of the GC3 is terrific. Being able to play it on my 57" HDTV is the icing on the cake for me. Like others have said, I only hope that Namco and other developers (Capcom, Sega, etc) support the gun. I would love to see a Time Crisis anthology for the PS3, and maybe a House of the Dead/Virtua Cop anthology from Sega (including the latest games in those series), as well as Ghost Squad and some other shooters. Maybe a new Point Blank as well. Or at least make the classic gun games available as downloads from the Playstation Store, and make sure they are compatible with the GC3.

Even if they don't release another gun game for the GC3/PS3, I feel like I've gotten my money's worth, but I definitely understand that, for most people, the price is too high. If I knew I could sell the game only for about $30, I'd pay $50 for a second copy just to get another GC3 for 2-player.

Is Umbrella Chronicles actually like a gun game since it has to use the Wii's controller? And for that matter, is this any better, given that it's using similar technology?

Umbrella Chronicles actually sounds like fun, but $50 is outrageous for it IMO.

Is that sensor someone mentioned tethered to the console by USB for power or is it wireless?

It uses 2 USB ports.

Umbrella Chronicles is a game that I believe should be played with the Wii Zapper after having my friends forcing me to borrow it and having played it myself with one.



I may consider getting the Time Crisis 4 if it's $50, but I doubt I'd touch it until I bought a second Guncon for it...

EDIT: Bah, typo.

Wrong, the sensors only use one usb slot. The other usb slot is used for the gun.

TC4 is fantastic if your a fan of the series. If it's $49.99, I'm purchasing a second copy of TC4 for the GC3. Two GC3's two player = funnn.

Oops, good call. I was thinking of the game in general. My bad.

Can anyone elaborate on how the FPS portion of the game is? The guys on the Hotspot were saying it was just OK but I'd rather hear some other impressions.

Thanks OP! I'm in for 1!

*Hopefully I can get to a computer post 5pm quick enough...conference call from 4pm to 5pm.....

Argh!

I just ordered it for $69.99 a few days ago! :(

They'd better let me price match.

Oh, it's tethered. Pass.

Pretty good deal, it ends up being cheaper than a regular PS3 game, and you get a guncon with it. I'm not even a fan of the series, but i'll bite for $50.

Any amazon coupons or promotional codes going on as well?

awesome, i'll be checking back at 2 for this deal. i'm a big time crisis fan. i loved every one of 'em, but i've only had the very first one for the ps console at home. all the others i had to pump quarters into at the arcade.

That is good to hear. The manual says 50" sets or smaller. I was playing on a 50" TV, but have a larger set I would prefer to play on. I will have to try it.

For 's sake. They ship on December 20th. Check Play Asia. I love blog media. Someone posts information then 10 other blogs repost it without doing any research.
