Time Crisis 4: developing the Guncon 3 |
Ó
Takashi Satsukawa, director of Time Crisis 4, recently posted an entry in the PlayStation blog relating the development of the Guncon 3, the gun (duh) peripheral that the game will be using. Check out our previous posts for more pics and early details on the gun.
Guncon 3 is probably the next inevitable step for the Time Crisis series, which didn't allow free movement for the player. The designers of Time Crisis wanted a free-roaming environment this time around so they needed to implement a way for players to use the gun to move as well as shoot.
Hence the analog stick was born. But while this gave a solution to movement it only allowed for horizontal shooting. As Satsukawa relates, the game needed a way for players to aim their sights higher (or lower, wherever the enemy is).
Satsukawa leaves us with a teaser here saying that he'll describe how the gun does this in his next post. If we had to guess, the second analog stick on the barrel of the gun will be the one controlling vertical direction.

I hate IR dongles :(
the gun looks uglllllllllllll llllllllly!

i have seen the time crisis 4 video and they already have a new working guncon for ps3 that resembles the way you hold the wii zapper but looks like an actual gun rather than cheap plastic. and they are using it on lcd hdtv. the ad only says it will revolutionize the way you play gun games. no word on how it connects to the ps3 though.
