GameGun going to be ready for retail by Christmas, will be console compatible
Remember that RedneckTechie and his insanely great GameGun idea? Well, he's back with another "slick" demo video, along with some news for us: he's putting together a retail version that will be ready by Christmas. The gun will also be compatible with Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and Windows and a plug-and-play device. We're incredibly short on details, and the pre-order page isn't live just yet, but if Mr. Redneck can pull this off, we're gonna fall all over ourselves to nab one no matter what the price is. New vid is after the break.
DIY VR Game Gun packs built-in motion tracking, optional mullet
Homebuilt motion controllers may be a fairly common occurrence these days -- especially with the Wiimote simplifying things considerably -- but this so-called "PC VR Game Gun" takes a slightly different approach than most, and has the added benefit of a pitchman firmly committed to selling it as the greatest thing since ShamWow. As you can see above, the rig consists of a toy gun with an LCD screen attached to it, but the real secret is a Gyration Air Mouse mounted on top, which allows for some full, seemingly responsive motion-tracking in any PC game. To really finish things off, our fearless modder also ripped apart a gamepad and wired it up to the trigger in the gun, which turns out to be just the thing for playing F.E.A.R.... on the highest difficulty setting. Must-see video after the break. Update: As helpfully pointed out in comments, there's now a wireless version of the Game Gun and, of course, a new video. Check it out after the break as well.
