Mad Dog McCree moseys onto PSN with Move support next week
The world's most preeminent pre-1995 full-motion video/ol' west sharpshooting arcade game, Mad Dog McCree, will be slinging steel and/or jingling jangles all across the PlayStation Network this Tuesday, January 22.The port includes remastered footage, PlayStation Move compatibility and support for up to four simultaneous players, in addition to an "all-new scoring system" accompanying the rest of the content featured in the original version. No official word on price, though we figure you can make back the purchase price by charging your roommates 25 cents per play, as is customary for this type of gaming experience.
FMV light gun game Mad Dog McCree coming to 3DS
Engine Software is porting the classic arcade laserdisc game Mad Dog McCree to 3DS, for release on eShop. That merits at least a reserved "Yee-haw." Engine's VP of development Ruud van de Moosdijk told Nintendo World Report that the downloadable six-shooter shooter will be released "very soon." Engine tracked down publisher Digital Leisure and asked for the rights to create a 3DS version.You might be thinking that it seems prohibitively expensive to remaster a random arcade game like that, full of real recorded video, in 3D. You're probably right. Whatever the reason, Engine is opting not to use stereoscopic 3D for the port. " "There's really no 3D in the 3DS version," van de Moosdijk said, "because how were you gonna do that?"
Mad Dog McCree saddles up on iOS
It seems to have ridden straight past its summer 2011 launch window, but Mad Dog McCree is finally available on iOS. Interested touch screen gunslingers can pick up this piece of full motion video history for $4.99.
Watch the first 15 minutes of The Gunstringer's FMV DLC, 'Wavy Tubeman Chronicles'
Twisted Pixel's foray into the motion-tracking, depth-sensing world of Kinect may not be out until tomorrow, but The Gunstringer's first batch of DLC is already locked and loaded, waiting patiently in the wings for its chance to shine. And oh, how it shines; glinting in the sun like a sheriff's badge at high-noon. Wavy Tubeman Chronicles is an entirely FMV experience, the first fifteen minutes of which you can watch above via G4TV. To the more ancient astute of you, Twisted Pixel's masterwork may seem a bit familiar, and for good reason: The full-motion adventure was inspired in no small part by Mad Dog McCree, an FMV laserdisc/arcade/3DO/Sega CD western from 1990. We had hoped that watching would somehow satiate our unquenchable thirst for FMV games, but it ended up having the opposite effect.
Mad Dog McCree coming to iPhone this summer
It's a magical, magical time to be a fan of full-motion video games. Just a day after we reviewed the Wii's new Mad Dog McCree: Gunslinger Pack, we get word from Digital Leisure that they're bringing the original campy pseudo-classic, Mad Dog McCree, to the iPhone later this summer.Hey, could FMV games be the new adventure games, with a complete resurgence in popularity completely out of the blue? Please? Oh, and while we're asking for crap ... Gallagher's Gallery? Maybe?
Review: Mad Dog McCree: Gunslinger Pack
One of the things you have to be cautious about when you're the Reviews Editor of the internet's most beloved and powerful gaming portal is to never use that power selfishly, drawing attention to games you otherwise wouldn't because they have a special place in your heart. A good example of this would be if I were to review the Mad Dog McCree: Gunslinger Pack, which is really just a Wii-based compilation of three very old games, Mad Dog McCree 1 and 2, as well as The Last Bounty Hunter. If I did that, it would just be because I have a dirty, dirty spot in my heart for FMV games, not because I think it has any real relevance to our audience.
Mad Dog McCree blasts his way to Wii with the Gunslinger Pack
That Gamefly listing for Mad Dog McCree was spot on, apparently, as the title has shipped to retail. Majesco just sent us a press release revealing the company will be bringing a few of Digital Leisure's live-action light-gun classics to a Wii near you, pricing this compilation at a very reasonable $19.99 MSRP. Mad Dog McCree Gunslinger Pack features three classics: Mad Dog McCree; Mad Dog 2: The Lost Gold; and The Last Bounty Hunter.You won't be forced to go it alone in each of these adventures either, as this compilation also adds a bit of multiplayer flair. There will be both Posse and Rebel modes, the former allowing up to four players to work side-by-side for a high score, and the latter allows up to four players to work independently, shooting things to gain the highest score of the bunch.
Rumor: GameFly shows Mad Dog McCree setting sights on Wii
If it weren't the day before April Fool's day, then we'd be willing to bet that a rumor regarding 19 year-old laserdisc game Mad Dog McCree coming to the Nintendo Wii is nothing short of malarkey. As it stands, however, the listing at GameFly is pretty compelling evidence.We'll concede that the game would most certainly have a place on the Wii, with the Wiimote's IR sensor performing just as well, if not better, than a DVD remote. But, it's a 19 year old game. And not even a good game, at that. Why would they port it to Wii? Oh, right ...We've put word in to Majesco (the publisher listed at GameFly) concerning the game and will be sure to update as soon as we receive a response.[Via Siliconera]
