I've been meaning to get into light gun games for some time now, but my experience with them is very limited; I only played Silent Scope abroad many years ago, and that probably doesn't even qualify as one.
What are the must-plays? Which guns and systems are recommended? Any new things on the horizon, what with all the peripherals kickstarted recently. The most recent high-profile game seems to be Time Crisis 5, is a port likely. and if yes on which platform? And preferably LCD-compatibly guns, I just don't have the space for a CRT in my room currently.
Nope. These games were developed for CRTs. Until you get one you're stuck with games made only in the last 10 years.

I hate how CRT lightgun games flash. Is there no motion control mouse or something I can buy for LCD?
Camden Carter
mouse? you don't want a light gun?
Nolan Reed
Your only option is a wiimote, and it's slow as fuck compared to an actual light gun.
Josiah Roberts
I made further research, and it seems the best "recent" options for the PC are the Ultimarc Aimtrak and the EMS Topgun III (both several years old). Anybody have experience with either?
Also, how is the PS3 as a light gun platform? As I discovered it got quite a few of these games, but I don't know how they are rated by experts.
Angel Johnson
PsMove? Worse than wii. It's slow like wiimote, but it also is stupid innacurate. With PS Move, you will calibrate the aim and then when you start to play every movement you make will mismeasure until the aim is completely out of whack.
I actually like wii, honestly. As long as you stay in one spot, the calibration stays true, and I don't think it's too slow. I enjoy playing HOTD and Ghost Squad on wii.
Alexander Sanchez
wasnt there also a guncon 3 for the ps3? though it looks very imbalanced at first glance with that hand grip in the front.
Owen Garcia
you chose a bad time to get into light gun games.
if you don't want to invest into a new tv and hardware your best bet will be a wiimote or mouse on a emulator
if you want more "authentic" experience Time Crisis games are perfectly playable with a pad due to cover mechanic. or you know go to a real arcade
Jeremiah Watson
Yes, but I've never used it.
Colton Flores
Going to take the occasion to shill that one PC only lightgun game nobody knows about.
Jason Miller
what the fuck are you saying? don't speak in absolutes when you don't know shit. there are lightguns for LCD screens. AimTrak is just one of them. Weirdly enough there are almost as many different lightguns for PC that there flight sticks and racing wheels.
Jackson Gray
I played the Resident Evil ones on the Wii with my younger sister and we had tons of fun. The game looks surprisingly good and has some difficulty/teamwork to it.
Joshua Wood
what else is there aside from aimtrak and topgun for PC? ideally something with win10 compatibility
Henry Morgan
… isn't there anyone here using a light gun on a PC? h-help
Eli Hill
YEAH, AND WE ALL HAVE OUR PC'S HOOKED UP TO OUR LIVING ROOM TV'S TOO.
THINK WITH THE BIG HEAD. Nobody keeps their PC in a lightgun-worthy setup.
Samuel Cruz
I want to setup that for Overkill.
Hunter Flores
The House of the Dead for Wii and Carnevil emulated the the only games you need in the whole genre. Carnevil is honeslty incredible.
CarnEvil is the best lightgun game ever made. It's my dream to own a cabinet for it.
Ryan Ramirez
That looks nothing like Carnevil
Luis Ross
THats probably the only game I would ever buy a cabinet for.
Robert Hernandez
I love my dad.
Sebastian Johnson
You lucky nigger
David Russell
before this thread dies, I'all ask one last question. should I "pull the trigger" (… heh) on this offer: play-asia.com/ems-topgun-iii/13/704e7s
I actually do still own an original Xbox in case it won't work with win10, but then I have no clue about how many light gun games are even available for the platform. the aimtrak gun is probably less of a hassle, but I also read it's not as accurate as this one, and it needs also some kind of extra "rumble pack" or something for recoil.
Logan Cruz
I never played dogma, but i felt its similar to Monster huhnter games
Alexander Powell
For all we know the DLC will make more of the map explorable, so we will have to wait and see
John Morris
Just make an RPG again.
Breton Morrowind Shivering Isles
Ayden Moore
never fails.
Jackson Ward
Xbox has a better frame rate.
Lucas Torres
Give her this one and just make it a bit shorter for mobility It would also fit well with Gentiana's outfit if she's a party member in her DLC.
Brandon Stewart
Nah you're about right there bud. Really great mechanics inside of a flat narrative and uninspired environmental design. Kind of hard to go from Human Revolution's globe trotting adventure to A Day In The Life Of Adam Jensen: Moody Cyber Cop.
Dylan Carter
Holy shit, he looks a lot more retarded than I remember.
Zachary Richardson
swept back gray hair and beard
Oliver Flores
Holy shit, he looks a lot more retarded than I remember.
