Sega Announces First Person Shooter Pack For The Wii

Last Year Sega was all about the first person shooter on the Wii, what with Conduit and House of the Dead: Overkill but aside from making new games it saw a chance of just rereleasing some old games like the House of the Dead: 2&3 pack and Ghost Squad. Well they're doing it again.

I can't believe we now have big HD TV's, powerfull next-gen consoles, and the whole lightgun-genre is pretty much completely dead and buried.

How awesome would it be to just have some great lightgun-games on 360 or PS3. Not ports of old games, but up-to-date modern new HD ones, with many alternative routes, and with a proper quality lightgun that doesn't look like a rejected waterpistol.

That would just be absolutely amazing to play in your own home cinema set-up.

Yer, it would be great but it's impossible. Light Guns are incompatible with modern TVs.

and there was a light gun game on the PS3 and it completely flopped but Sony's making that "The Shoot" which I believe is a light gun game for Move.

EDIT: And the genre isn't dead, two releases have topped a mil this gen.. but neither was on a HD system so I guess that doesn't count?

Isn't this old? I could have sworn this was announced awhile ago.

Valay5129d ago

Nevermind, misread the description of this post.

I know, not a single Virtua Cop game included in the pack? I hope someone was fired for that oversight.

I got Time Crisis 4 with Gun-con3 and it worked well for me. Doesn't matter which TV you have as it works with 2 sensors that attach to the top of your tv at each side. You have to calibrate the gun and stay in the same area for it to work right, and if you do it works well (does for me).
I enjoy playing Time Crisis 4 on my HDTV, looks good, just like arcade.
With the gun having all the buttons and 2 thumb sticks it works well for open world games, not just on rails ones. There is a game on TC4 which isn't on rails (open world levels) and it works great when you get used to the controls. Works like any other game but instead of having a cross-hair in middle of screen you can aim anywhere on screen with the gun. I liked this idea and loved playing this part of TC4, it's a pity no more games have been made using these controls, if there was I would get them.

If Namco released more games for the GunCon 3, then I would have got it. However, one game is not reason for a purchase. I have most the Guncon 2 games and love them on my PS2.

I mean, get this; why don't Namco make a LBP-like Point Blank? Why not make your own levels and challenges, share them online? Kind of like the new Warioware on DS. 'Point Blank Gallery' anyone?

I miss lightgun games now. I'm planning on picking up the few released on Wii in the last few years. They are an awesome genre and I visit arcades when I can just to play them these days.

Zelda Replay: Majora's Mask

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."

Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.

Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos18d ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger8818d ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies18d ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.

Strange headline, as I thought the star of the show was Super RType. I almost bought RType Dimensions EX this last month and was just thinking, man I wish we had the SNES one somewhere on Switch. That's where I got my start w the series and I was beyond excited to see it drop this week!
