Anyhow, I digress. Kudos, Brandon, but be prepared to see some competition in the near future, good ideas like this don't go un-spoofed for long.]]>Mar 19th 2006 9:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/19/nes-zapper-mouse-for-pc-duck-hunt-fun/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/19/nes-zapper-mouse-for-pc-duck-hunt-fun/Mar 19th 2006 10:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/19/nes-zapper-mouse-for-pc-duck-hunt-fun/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/19/nes-zapper-mouse-for-pc-duck-hunt-fun/
Google why are you so racist and sexist?]]>Mar 19th 2006 11:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/19/nes-zapper-mouse-for-pc-duck-hunt-fun/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/19/nes-zapper-mouse-for-pc-duck-hunt-fun/Mar 19th 2006 11:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/19/nes-zapper-mouse-for-pc-duck-hunt-fun/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/19/nes-zapper-mouse-for-pc-duck-hunt-fun/
If the gun worked the same as a mouse, you'd turn the gun to the side to aim somewhere and the view would turn to the side, but the crosshairs would still be in the middle of the screen as usual. It wouldn't really match up. The crosshairs and where your bullets go would be a different location from where your controller gun is pointing.

You could mod the game to have the view static and the crosshairs reflect where the gun is pointing (like regular light gun games) but then you'd need some separate control to change where the camera is pointing. It might shift the view when your crosshairs are on the edge of the screen, but it's easy to see how cumbersome that would be.

Lastly, you could have the gun control acceleration in view movement. So when it's pointed at the center, the view doesn't change; when you move it to the left, the view moves slowly to the left; when you move it way to the left, the view moves quickly to the left. Again, this strays from the gun-aim analogy.

There's a reason lightgun games are different from regular FPS games.]]>Mar 19th 2006 11:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/19/nes-zapper-mouse-for-pc-duck-hunt-fun/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/19/nes-zapper-mouse-for-pc-duck-hunt-fun/Nov 27th 2006 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/19/nes-zapper-mouse-for-pc-duck-hunt-fun/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/19/nes-zapper-mouse-for-pc-duck-hunt-fun/

But yeah, the hack is like it says “very easy”. And of course “hack” anymore means anything that does something at all it
wasn’t originally designed for.
