Nice breakdown! Also worth mentioning: In Japan, Time Crisis got a PS2 release as part of Namco's Gunvari Collection, which was Point Blank 1-3 and Time Crisis on one PS2 disc!

[@Microwave414]

I'm surprised sony has yet to beg namco to make a new times crisis for VR. I mean the game basically feels like it would be at home at VR

[@RoyalEqustrianGuard]

I know this is an old comment, but on PC VRigade is pretty much Time Crisis in VR and I'd definitely recommend checking it out

[@leehervey]

Oh wow what an idea. Release the collection on it.

[@ldrrandompro4206]

THEN ITS COOL BECAUSE ITS LIKE YOUR BATTLING WILD DOG IN REAL LIFE!!!!

[@tavitube7010]

@@RoyalEqustrianGuard I think that microwave was talking about a psvr exclusive. But yes your right.

[@teneesh3376]

The genre really did shift to VR didn't it? Not to say that's a bad thing at all. Having on rail shooters nowadays on other platforms is questionable. The market for that is even lower considering the peripherals you need on a TV. It is cheaper, but most people aren't gonna get a peripheral for one specific genre

[@DungarooTV]

Time Crisis, Virtua Cop and The House of the Dead tie for top spot in my opinion.

[@budgiecat9039]

@@WHIPTY Under Fire isnt bad compared to Area51/Lethal Enforcers, and Dead Angle is good for its time albeiit super old. There's Gundblade/La Machineguns too

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

I've been rocking the Time Crisis games literally since the very first game and love them so damn much. The first game being cheesy as hell with the voice acting but fun with all the action scenes. All the way up to the PS3 versions. On rail shooters are a dying genre for console gamers which sucks pretty bad. But if Namco busted out Time Crisis 5 with all the extras like they typically do for a home release and give us a proper Guncon 4 then I'd be all for it just like I have been the past 3 generations.

[@KewieCRC420]

I'm with you. I have almost every major light gun game from the 32-bit era and up. I even have Elemental Gearbolt on PSone which is really cool but quite hard. Virtua Cop and House of the Dead was king up until Time Crisis came out for me. After that Time Crisis took the crown and hasn't been dethroned since. Sadly the PS3 and Wii era was the dying days for light gun games. I remember when the Guncon 3 came out I was really excited for a resurgence of rail gun shooters but after the release of TC4 nothing else came ever came out for it except for Razing Storm... Lol.

[@Blueflag04]

[@ross4fun966]

Time Crisis was one of the best on-rail shooter games with an epic plot and music! I would almost compare the game to how Sega made their games with those elements, namely Sonic Adventure.

[@kingamoeboid3887]

Rosseen Glimmer for some reason an obvious plot seemed to make the game a lot better.... probably because of the castle because it didn’t seem possible for an individual to do it. This is my favourite game ever. I loved everything about the game since 2014. I had the PS1 version with the gun controller. I find the gun controller better. What about you. What would you rank it??

[@rushkiss2012]

Time Crisis 3 does support the original gun con, that's the way I played it back in the day, Alicia's sniping sections are a pain though and I could never finish that mode (you have to shoot the arrows to look around)

[@IgoByaGo]

I used to plug in a controller into port two so I could use my big toe to hit the circle button, it made it like the arcade. I played this game every day from August 1998 (when I got it for my birthday) until I got House of the Dead 2 on my Dreamcast. 9/9/1999 was an amazing day.

[@justanotheryoutubechannel]

They could’ve just let you use the D-pad on the second controller or let you move the Sniper Aiming Reticule by aiming the Guncon at the corners of the screen. That would’ve let Time Crisis 3 be playable on the original Guncon.

[@dep3che]

I bought the PS3 combo game with Deadstorm Pirates to play with my kids at home. We use the move controller since it is easier for the kids. Now when we get to play the arcade version our quarters last a bit longer lol. I get stuck in the middle with the wheel of course.

[@Darkbeatdk]

Yes! Time Crisis is also my favourite. I get especially nostalgic over Time Crisis 1 and the first controller I had for it came with a foot-pedal and looked like Judge Dredd's gun. I forget who made it.

[@57Rye]

I fell in love with Time Crisis from the first moment I played it in the Arcade. Once I had money as a teenager i started collecting the home console versions and all the gcons to go along with them. The home console versions are great, but nothing beats the feeling of playing the arcade version, getting your best friend and playing the two-player mode and having each others backs. The foot pedal on the arcade version was so intuitive, and I remember that the guns on the Time Crisis 2 cabinets had the pistol slide that would actually pull back with serious force whenever you fired a shot. This is one of my favourite videos from you guys. Well done Coury.

[@MoonSpiritChannel]

Man I played the hell out of the first three, and they were so much fun. I particularly like the area complete theme so much because it feels like I accomplished something like a badass.

[@alandunaway3000]

I played the first three too. I wanted 4, but my brother chose microshit instead.

[@dust6755]

This video has been a trip down memory lane my brother and i played these games when we were kids good times 👍

[@Sk4zZi0uS]

Time Crisis feels like a love from a past life. I remember playing the games down the arcade with my little brother, playing the PlayStation 1 games at a friends and eventually grabbing my own copies that quickly became the most played games on the system. TC2 was pretty much the reason I picked up the ps2. I remember first seeing the G-Con 2 in a pokey little store 30 miles away during a trip to Norwich... I had to have it. I'm pretty sure I own TC3 but for some reason just don't remember it =\ TC4 was OK... I never got the G-Con with mine... eventually it got patched to work with the move so that was my only way of playing it. I would love to get a TC2 arcade setup for my garage which the huge screens... never going to happen... but I can dream. Thanks for taking me back to the days when one if my favorite styles of games... was king of the arcade (at least at my locals)

[@vicarius27]

I played Time Crisis 2 a lot with my brother in the arcades, it was so awesome, definitely one of my favorite on rail shooters. I like House of the Dead to, but Time Crisis has a very special place in my heart.

[@DaveVoyles]

I love how in depth you guys go with these videos

[@zbillster]

I solved the foot pedal issue in a roundabout way. I love my Namco Guncon 2, and I also acquired a third-party Logic 3 P99K Light Blaster with a foot pedal. The gun itself was excrement, but I saved the foot pedal, took apart my Guncon, and wired it into the front red buttons with the wire coming out the bottom of the grip. Wonderful! If you play on carpet, it helps to put a board underneath for positive pedal action.

[@somesketchydragon5189]

I remember playing Crisis Zone in an arcade once, sadly I did not know what I was doing, as my only light gun experience was Virtua Cop 2, House of the Dead 2 and 3, something with dinosaurs by Sega and CryTek and the NES classics, so I lost. I wonder if the machine is still there, I want to give it another shot now that I know what it's about. Thank you very much for this awesome showcase!

[@venares76]

Loved my Guncon 2 back in the day, the PAL version was blue. Great looking gun.

[@justanotheryoutubechannel]

@Brian Lawrence the first one was grey the PS2 guncon 2 was blue. I had it.

[@ArcadeDude44]

I recall a Time Crisis game for ps3 costing a fortune. These games actually look fun, thanks for the info.

[@ytyndale3643]

The Guncon 3 deserves way more credit than it gets, it's accuracy is amazing. It's features and quality of games are the best the series has to offer. Even the FPS mode is not nearly as bad as people say. I think it's just they are so dam good at making arcade shooters that other modes can't live up to it.

[@bleachedink]

Time Crisis remains one of my favourite arcade titles ever, so many fond memories of playing them when on holidays, really wish they'd repackage them for PS4!

[@swipswapkovski9260]

This plus the Point Blank series is all you'll ever need for your light gun and trusty CRT.

[@DougPlummer]

one of my favorite genre, I had so much fun with this series, and other GunCon games. If you never played it, Elemental Gearbot on the PS1 is awesome with the GunCon. its a reason to keep CRTs around :)

[@metalsnake27]

That was the main problem with TC1, bullets that hit you were unmarked. So it was impossible to dodge. You just had to be fast. TC2 Arcade was also MUCH harder than the PS2 version, most notably due to the decrease in graphics (bullets are a bit harder to spot) but also, Wild Dog's bullets didn't give out a pulse when they were about to hit you. Also, Alan and Wesley were the best :D

[@asjklffjlsh]

Damn! What a BRILLIANT episode. Sitting here next to my copies of TC 1-3 i smiled for the entire 30 minutes!

[@ArcadeHunters]

I got to play 5 at Dave and Busters in NYC. It was kinda hard to get used to the two foot peddles. I made it up to the first boss and died. I would have continued but the price to play one game is really expensive. I really wish Sega would have shown the same love for Virtua Cop like Namco does with Time Crisis. Virtua Cop 3 is one of my personal favorites but it seems like it'll never make it to a console.

[@kabutops87]

The Time Crisis games were awesome. Another great lightgun game made by Namco was Point blank.

[@TheSmart-CasualGamer]

We had a Time Crisis II Machine in the arcade near me, my old local hangout, but there was only one gun. They took it away, and replaced it with a Raising Storm one, which I never knew had anything to do with Time Crisis until now. They took that away too. Now there's some stupid Emoticon claw machine there.

[@TianCosmo]

There is another great way to get a good foot pedal on the PS1. Just use one of the steering wheels for driving games on the second port. The foot pedals use the same button layout. What about dancing mats? might be also a solution. Great video, makes me wanna play TC again.

[@moviemetalhead]

Time Crisis series, House of the Dead series, Virtua Cop series, Confidential Mission, Carnevil, Jurassic Park: The Lost World and Silent Scope were some of the best examples of the light gun genre. Great retrospective gentleman.

[@sanjeetsingh3854]

Great episode, informative and I very much like your style of humor.

[@KewieCRC420]

This is probably my favorite episode yet. Very informative like always but since I love the Time Crisis series, it gives this episode the edge. I feel this is the best coverage of the Time Crisis series I've ever seen. I usually don't comment on any video but since you gave one of my favorite series well deserved justice I had to thank you. Keep up the great work and videos. I really enjoy all of them.

[@lunarpsychocpg]

I've played Time Crisis 2 and 4 in the arcades back in my Teen years up to late Teens every Saturday with my mom before she goes to Bingo and then shopping for food. It was fun for me and got hooked to it along with House of the dead 2, 3, and 4, Time Crisis Blazing Storm, Operation G.H.O.S.T, That one game where you have to shoot Sea Creatures who are trying to kill you(can't remember name), Tekken 5-7(arcade versions except Fated Retribution) as those were the ones released in World of Fun, Timezone(yes, it's an arcade name), and Quantum World. Now I don't see them as much often as those were replaced with claw machines, coin pusher slots, Racing Games, Card Trading games(Oreca Battle as the name I can remember), Ocean King 3 games and the only game still standing in arcades and updated rn is Pump It Up. Now I have to use either emulation or just watch it on youtube (cause these consoles aren't worth buying anymore in today's standards as well as PS5 and Xbox One Series S imo) as they're the only ways of enjoying them. Like Time Crisis 4, which is the only gun game standing in the arcades mentioned above, are starting to show their age as they aren't properly maintained by the arcade Technicians.

[@RottenMuLoT]

Stellar production quality, as usual. Not gonna lie though, I'm disappointed the Move controller wasn't properly tested and explained. Especially now that we have PSVR, the sharpshooter, that aim controller, etc. 🤔 I think another episode exploring those options might be great 👍

[@Innerste]

Instead of using the button at the butt of the grip as a pedal, consider this alternative. If you hold the GunCon 2 the same way that most people are taught to properly grip a real life handgun, your supporting hand's thumb naturally rests on one of the side buttons. (Either A or B depending on whether you're right or left handed. Both buttons do the same thing.) Now to pop out of cover, all you have to do is just squeeze the GunCon 2 with your support hand and relax to go back into cover.

PS2's _End Game_ lightgun game (speaking for NTSC-U/C) has 16_:_9 aspect ratio support in the game's menu but haven't yet used the lightgun for it on my 4_:_3 CRT set to its widescreen ratio mode. The angle for the field of view _does increase_ , IIRC. 👍 Also, IIRC, none of the beautiful 16_:_9 ratio tube CRT TV's will work with light guns - needs to be of certain models within the 4_:_3 CRT tube hardware (some of the 4_:_3 CRT's are not lightgun-friendly if they have certain specifications or advertised features)

[@kvin9210]

I'm so glad time crisis 2 and 3 was ported to the PlayStation 2. The PlayStation 2 was at the point of technology where it had better visuals than the arcade. Both time crisis 2 and 3 on the PS2 had enhanced visuals and extra game modes not present on the arcade. I highly doubt time crisis 2 would ever fit on the PS1 disc, let alone run at a stable frame rate.

[@gailgoodner3950]

Holy crap!! THANK YOU for the tip about using the G-Con 2 pass thru with PS 2 running component.

[@IcePakOG]

Great video, Corey. I love lightgun shooters, but being a SEGA fanboy, always stuck with SEGA lightgun games. I've only just got into the original Time Crisis and am really enjoying it. Your video helped me to see I need to check out the rest of the series. Thanks for recommending the Razing Storm collection. I hate war-based shooters, but the arcade mode in Razing Storm is actually pretty fun despite the godawful, generic dialogue and lack of character. Time Crisis 4 is great fun and Deadstorm Pirates is easily the best game in the collection, with that zaniness that's usually characteristic of SEGA lightgun games.

[@pferreira1983]

Good retrospective. I played Crisis Zone back in 2001 at an arcade. Great experience using the machine gun, the feedback on it was crazy although probably less so than in real life. I know you don't like the FPS segments of the newer games but going forward to evolve the series that probably is the way forward in having it off the rails.

[@gunbird967]

[@Xploder270]

what an awesome documentary and only 60k views... what a shame

[@dreamcastfan]

Great vid, my personal favourite Time Crisis is still the first one because it put the most emphasis on speed and accuracy. The sequels became more focused on score instead of trying to clear areas quickly so you had to take your time hitting enemies multiple times to get the maximum bonus rather than shooting them once to clear the screen quickly. The PS1 port of Time Crisis 1 was really quite impressive. It ran at half the resolution and frame rate of the arcade version but it used exactly the same 3D models for the levels and characters. It was very close to arcade perfect for the time. I didn't have a problem with the placement of the reload button on the GunCon 1 as I would just hold it like a normal gun and extend my index finger along the barrel to press the reload button. I tried a few third party pedals but they were all terrible, they had too large a range of movement which meant having to press them down a long way to reload. Compared to the hair trigger of the arcade pedals they were terrible. My solution to the GunCon not working with modern TVs? I've got a Time Crisis 1 arcade cabinet in the garage. Pure light gun perfection! ;)

[@ericbazinga]

photographboy You have a Time Crisis 1 cabinet? I am soooo jealous

[@dreamcastfan]

ericbazinga Thanks! :) TC1 cabinets are surprisingly rare these days. Time Crisis 2 and onwards is relatively easy to find but the first one has become very rare for some reason. Either they're in high demand or when Time Crisis 2 came out a lot of operators scrapped the originals.

[@ericbazinga]

Time Crisis 4 is my favourite Time Crisis franchise of all.

[@DaveB038]

That's some comprehensive coverage, thanks and very nice. Also, based on what you were saying about the green lead in the component hookup, I really didn't need to buy a Sony SCPH-1160 so that I can use my component hookup on my BVM? Rats, just bought one. I bought it to use a Guncon for the first time as I have been very disappointed in how jumpy the reticle is (and therefore inaccurate) for my Sega Stunner, Justifier, Cobra lightgun and Dreamcast lightgun (japanese) for Virtua Cop, Death Crimson OX, House of the Dead, etc... Does anyone else have a problem with the reticle jumping around on the initial entry screen for those games? No matter where I put the brightness and contrast and how clean the gun is, ambient lighting, etc. they just never seem to "settle down". anyway, rant over, thanks for the video and glad you posted it.

[@mylifeingaming]

+DaveB038 [Coury] For whats its worth, I got myself a 1160 just out of convenience. On the topic of jumpiness, I've found that the GunCon1 for some reason holds a lot more rock solid than the 2. You don't get as much jumpiness. On a side note, I'm not sure if this matters or not, but someone told me this morning that there is a difference between the GunCon 2s made in China and the ones made in Japan. The Japanese ones are better, I guess. Maybe that would solve the issue. Its something that I'm definitely going to investigate.

[@donaldfontes1437]

The madcatz light gun is awesome on the ps1 and ps2 l love it thanks for the awesome video.

[@MellowGaming]

Got a lot of fond memories of playing the first game on my PS1 with my controller on the floor for a pedal. Was real into lightgun games back then. Even liked stuff like Area 51 and Lethal Enforcers which have been kinda pushed aside other the years.

[@ericbazinga]

I own a copy of Time Crisis 2 for the PS2 (Just got it for Christmas), but I haven't played it yet due to me currently not owning a Guncon 2. However, my local arcade has a Time Crisis 4 machine, which quickly became my favorite arcade game and also introduced me to the Time Crisis franchise. I play it every time I visit. (Also, recently the arcade got a Time Crisis 5 machine, which really is freaking awesome. Time Crisis 4 is still my favorite, however.) If I get a PS3 anytime soon, I'll definitely look into that compilation pack with Time Crisis 4 in it.

Fantastic! I've really come to appreciate you guys videos. Interesting and well produced. Now I've got an urge to play some Time Crisis and I know just how fix that.

[@BIMBOBOOP]

Man, one tip for you: If you want to play the PS2 lightgun guncom games whit a Guncom 45, then just unlock the region limitation of you PS2 with a modchip (matrix infinity better) and buy the cheap PAL versions. The games included not only Guncom45 and Guncom 2 compatibilty , but also Pal 60hz option, so it will not be slow like many supossed. Also if the game doesnt support pal 60 natively, you can force it properly with the Matrix chip. BTW you will need a CRT TV that supports PAL and NTSC, or maybe a signal convertor, but I bet you already have the solution. This will also help you in ordr to buy an dcollect PAL exclusives and some games that offered better options and prices in the european market. Like Project Zero 3 with progressive option or a much cheaper Haunting Ground copie with the same quality. (It also add some times, more language options for non native english speakers).

The Guncon FPS mode in TC4 wasn't thaaaat bad......

[@eightbitgnosis]

I'm loving the longer episode format

[@leehervey]

Forget the Guncon. Was all about the arcade light gun. Had the pedal and the kick back. Fuck yeah.

Man i love light gun games but i never got into them that much on home consoles, always played them on the arcades. Time Crisis is definitely the series i think about the most in this genre even though i got into every game i saw in arcades, i got pretty good at some of them and even attracted a crowd sometimes, like one time in Crisis Zone i lost for the first time near the end and some dude gave me a coin so i could continue playing lol.

I love the Sony PlayStation 1 It had many amazing games from different genre's and time crisis was one of the coolest games. I hope gaming companies find a way to create modern ways to play light gun games like special devices to connect to out gaming consoles so maybe we can have a light gun game online that would be amazing. Also player vs player light gun game but online with ranks and stuff. Cool video. ^_^

[@xAUSTIN316x]

we need a updated version of these games that will work on hdtvs

[@h1ghju1ce]

I had a "SuperJolt" guncon compatible gun, that had a pedal and a pretty cool recoil function, that made Timecrisis even better and more intense :-)
