Super Cheap Time Crisis 4 Alert! Want a second GunCon 3 for Time Crisis 4 multiplayer fun?

Proof that people still like shooting at things, regardless of nauseating the character design. Thanks to our tipsters for the heads up!

Guncon 3 Is "Much More Accurate" Than Wii-mote

Brian Ashcraft — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 04:00:52 MST

Namco's first party peripherials for its Time Crisis series are typically fantastic. The new Guncon 3 looks to be no exception. It's apparently very accurate. How accurate? Way more accurate than the Wii-mote. Time Crisis 4 producer Teruaki Minami explains:

...Guncon 3's LED markers are actually much more accurate. Much better than Nintendo Wii's controller. In the Wii, there are only two LED points, but for the Guncon 3 there are six LED points, so it is more accurate than the Wii. The PlayStation 3 will be able to recognize the tilt of the Guncon 3, its distance from the monitor, and these things cannot be done with the Wii system.

What's more, the Guncon 3 also has SIXAXIS capabilities as well. It's also bright orange so some idiot doesn't use it to hold up a gas station.

Guns On Time Crisis 4 and Guncon 3

Matt Buchanan — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 04:30:32 MDT

In a sentence, if you like the Time Crisis series, you will like Time Crisis 4, since it doesn't deviate wildly from the tried-and-true. This is a bit disappointing in the graphics department, considering it marks the series' PS3 debut—they're nicer, for sure, but not wholly updated. The biggest (and best) change comes from the GunCon 3 in its dual-fisted goodness, which felt quite natural and quite nice, actually, and improved our gun-waving endurance.

Time Crisis 4 + GunCon 3

Sure, the PLAYSTATION 3 may be lagging behind the Xbox 360 and Wii at this point, but wait until Time Crisis 4—and that sweet GunCon 3—finally ships. Once the first light gun shooter featuring a pair of metrosexual Eurotrash types finally arrives, I can't imagine anyone will balk at whatever price the PS3 is at that point. Plus, it has mini-games! Sorry, Nintendo, but you had a good run. It's Time Crisis 4 for PS3's time now. Michael McWhertor
