Arcade Lightgun setup!

not really, if you point the wiimote at the screen it wont shoot where you're aiming. I think of red steel as more of an FPS with a mouse that doesn't need a surface.
 
Ah I see what you mean actually, they releasing a proper light gun game for the Wii sometime? Assuming so, just not paid that much attention or Ill probably go and buy one.

why? Doesnt offer one lightgun game on launch.

Has to be the PS2. Time Crisis 1 and another TC game from PS1 days. Time Crisis 2 & 3 also on PS2, as well as a load of third party ones too...

deff PS2. There used to be a PS gun available as well, 3rd party, which had similar recoil to time crisis arcade efforts.

what? as far as I can see it does. Theres a thing in it where you slow down time and can sleect to shoot diff people. In general play it shifts your view as you aim but thats only because its not on rails. If the guy likes light guns, then the wii is the ultimate light gun console. Every title has innovative 'point at the screen' functions.

Even the main menu of the OS is 'light gun' driven. There is no way that an immense amount of traditional light gun games wont be released if thats what he's after.

Doesn't that basically mean that those menus they tried it on were NOT using the pointer function and instead just the motion sensors to replicate a mouse's feel? I mean, the pointer sensor thing is right at the front of the Remote so you would imagine that when it was used it would function as a proper pointer.

CVG: This is a tricky one to explain. The pointer-menus definitely use the pointer sensor. The sensor is on the top of the controller because it needs to 'see' the sensor bar (like a camera).

But like you, we figured it's strange that the controller doesn't have direct aim. The first time we noticed this was when I played the Wii Shooting tech demo (the one that looks like Duck Hunt) a few months back, in two-player mode. The aim is to shoot more targets than your opponent.

We thought we were in for an easy win, being House of the Dead NINJAS. So we, naturally, lifted the Remote to eye-level like a handgun, but immediately noticed that not only was my cursor not positioned where we were pointing, but it would also move in far bigger motions than we were aiming.

That's when we realised that it's more like a virtual mouse than a lightgun. This could possibly be a software specific mechanic, and maybe future software will allow you to set up the Remote more like a lightgun (similarly to the Super NES Super Scope, for those who remember it) but all of the games and menus we've seen so far seem to use the pointer in the 'virtual mouse' way we speak of. That includes Red Steel and Call of Duty 3.

thats from another thread, should explain what i mean pretty clearly.
 
Forgot to add just get a PS2 with 2 light guns another great Namco classic has to be Point Blank. There was also a die hard light gun game on die hard trillogy.
 
exactly. you dont aim down the wiimote, you use the wiimote to position your shot, but the degree of movement wont be the same as the distance the pointer/target moves on the screen.

As for the PS2 comment, i'd say there are more light gun games on it (bearing in mind PS1 backwards compatibility) than any other console on sale now or in the near future...

The list is pretty extensive, even if i dont recall it all...

we've got:

Time crisis 1,
Time Crisis: Crisis Zone
TC 2
TC 3
Redsident Evil dead aim
Endgame
Point blank 1
Point blank 2
Starsky & Hutch
Guncom
Gunfighter 2
Virtua Cop
Ninja Assualt
Vampire Night
Resident evil survior 2

and more - all on PS2 or PS1. Plus you can get the recoil light gun for it too. Dont see a better option out there tbh :confused:
