Time Crisis 4 exclusive to PS3 - Will use Guncon 3
The latest issue of Famitsu holds some fairly interesting tidbits. It seems that Time Crisis 4 is going to have a direct port from the arcade machines exclusively onto the PlayStation 3 at some point in the future. As well as the arcade mode, the game will also feature a new mission mode, though there are no details regarding what that will involve, as of yet.The most exciting news to come from this is that the Guncon 3 controller will be released, presumably, alongside the game. The newest iteration of the Guncon peripheral will use Infra-red emitters, rather the first two which relied on cathode-ray timing to detect where the gun was being pointed. As a result, the Guncon 3 will work perfectly with LCD TVs whereas the previous two did not. A downside to the new controller, however, seems to be that, judging from the attached image, it will be wired. Whether this is the case for the final product or to allow for backwards compatibility with the PS2 is unclear.
Time Crisis 4, Guncon 3 coming to PS3
In addition to revealing Tekken 5's online upgrade, the latest Weekly Famitsu (via NeoGAF) also unveiled Time Crisis 4 for PlayStation 3. The game will feature AC mode that the NeoGAF post suggests will be a "100% port" of the arcade game. Also revealed is Guncon 3, a new light gun for the game. (Previous Guncons were released one for each PlayStation console.) There will also be a mission mode where Captain William Rush will be the main character.The game is due out 2007 in Japan. The US versions for the two previous Time Crisis games have come out within six weeks of the Japanese release.[Via CVG]
EB Games wants to sell you PS3 Time Crisis with gun
EB Games lists a PS3 version of arcade game Time Crisis 4 that might be released late this year. Sure, a "no image available" page with little other information doesn't usually interest us, but this might-be $89.99 game might include "Guncon," which might be a PS3 version of the light gun. Maybe. Is this another Namco Bandai exclusive?The GunCon and GunCon 2 connected with a wire to previous PlayStations, but we can only imagine that a PS3 version would work wirelessly over Bluetooth. (Seriously, our imaginations are that good.) And as long as we're imagining, why not include some Sixaxis controls to look or move?Namco Bandai hasn't officially announced a PS3 version of the game and told us the company chooses not to comment on the EB Games listing.
