Time Crisis seems to become dormant series, for consoles at least. Time Crisis 5 seems to be the only game that has not been ported for any consoles at all, which is a shame, I want to try that game out but not a single arcade place in my area holds a cabinet to play. But like you, I want that series to continue, even though coming up with new features can become tough as it's become a staple with the new entry that there is a new function for the game. TC2 - Co-op Gameplay and using enemy machine guns, TC3 - Multi-weapon system, TC4 - In-game dialog and multi-screen battles(first seen in TC: Project Titan), and TC5 - Multi-pedal cover system. What would Time Crisis 6 bring to the table?

If you're at all handy there's a diy project called Gun4Ir which has much better accuracy then the Sinden. It basically repurposes a wiimote sensor with 4 tracking points instead of the Wii sensor bar which fixes all of the Wii's tracking issues and doesn't require an overlay like the Sinden. Because it's diy you can build a cheapo basic gun or a fully decked out arcade replica with solenoid force feedback.

[@Fahrenheit38]

@Stefano Pavone as a backer of them on kickstarter they fucking suck.

[@AxtonLovesHisTurret]

I actually liked Time Crisis 3 the best of the series. It felt the most polished to me, especially when the arcade cabinets were well maintained enough to have calibrated light guns AND working recoil on the light guns. The fact that enemies had 3 hits' worth of "tangibility" (you could shoot them 3 times before they disappeared) but only 1 shot was necessary to kill the basic guys also gave you a good way to chain combos and get a lot of points. I think that feature was in earlier games, but it felt really well implemented here and the animations on the enemies when they were shot felt helpful for telling how many times they'd been hit. I do agree that it was pretty hard - that final area always ran me through a couple quarters. But after many times playing through Time Crisis 3, I got to the point where I had memorized enemy appearance patterns and only the bosses ever really hit me. It was a lot of fun.

[@TheShredFaster]

going to an arcade where they actually calibrated the lightguns properly was godlike. i feel like alot of the people running those places didn't know or care how to do it

@@TheZackofSpades A thing with translation and localisation is that you not only have to translate the meaning of the original dialogue but you also have to reasonably stick to the original length as well, so while the original Japanese may have been something along the lines of "Don't come any closer" (which makes sense because it's warning the player of a trap) that would have likely made the sentence too long and so would have to be squashed down to the unfortunately double meaning laden "Don't come" (not to mention that a non native speaker may not necessarily pick up on puns and double meanings like that). Of course, the same length and meaning could have been achieved with the phrase "Stay back" but that is the difference between a very comprehensive translation and one that may have been done in a bit of a hurry (which is likely the case).

I can't believe you didn't mention the extra modes in Time Crisis 4: First off there was the 'Complete Mission' which included extra levels where you played as Captain Rush, with standard FPS controls (the reason why the GunCon 3 has that awkward controller sticking out of it) though you still needed to aim and fire at enemies manually. These levels included a boss fight with Wild Fang, who had a robotic leg and some sort of wolf-based, magic powers. Then there was the 'Crisis Missions' where you played as a rookie VSSE agent going through various trials. This culminates in a boss fight with the main characters, Giorgio and Evan (as part of the training) followed immediately by a boss fight with Wild Dog... who turns out to be Richard Miller from the first game in disguise, who wanted to observe and test the new recruits himself. Also I still own my GunCon 3, including the sensors and a copy of the game (I'm from the UK but I have a US copy, so I couldn't trade it in). But after watching this video I might stick it on eBay, though it's definitely not in pristine condition lol

My cousin and I played it frequently and always got a laugh whenever Richard punched the first boss in the face after beating him, and adding our own commentary by saying, "Quiet You!" whenever he did so! Great times. I still maintain my old PS1 and a CRT television purely for the ability to play this game, but I would love a remastered version that allowed my to stop doing so, because lugging this HUGE television around whenever I move to a new home is getting to be downright painful. Thanks for the great video and stay safe out there!

[@12ealDealOfficial]

Same. Used to buy my movie tickets so I'd have an hour or two of down time before they started. If it wasn't to hang out in the bookstore and read manga, it was to play some Time Crisis/ Silent Scope/ House of the Dead at the arcade. You can kinda have the same experience near where I live in present day, over in Rome, Georgia.

You might've missed this detail in Time Crisis 1. In the First Boss which is the Gold Ninja. Depending on where you land the 3rd hit against him will affect the defeat scene. If the final shot hits while he's jumping from column to column. The death scene will show him falling down from mid-air. If he is on the floor. He just dramatically drops on his back. Cool detail from an Arcade Game.😊

Went to the beach with the Mrs and the outlaws years ago when you could still find Time Crisis cabinets in arcades. The father in law didnt expect me to beat the game from start to finish, best quid I ever spent. He was quick to move us along when I spotted the sequel cabinet a few doors down 🤣 fuck I'm getting old.

Man, arcades were awesome. This and afterburner, house of the dead, Daytona.... sigh. I’ve gotta take my son and find a TC2 cabinet to show him how awesome a day of light guns and ice cream was.

I loved Crisis Zone in the arcades! I could beat the game on one credit back then, and the set pieces were overall awesome. As much as I loved Time Crisis 3, admittedly having fully automatic fire made the game easier and also less tiring to play.

[@LeinRa-Reaction]

I have always been more of house of the dead guy, but here in Indonesia Time Crisis is basically the twin-king of arcade rail shooter alongside HotD. you can basically expect either of the two being the main shooter cabinet in arcade places here, so I have profound respect to the series.

I’m 34 and I remember as a kid my best friend mike had the gun con with time crisis for PlayStation 1. At the time laser pointers were becoming a fad in the states, so we taped one to the gun on and calibrated the gun on to align with the laser. Great times ! I miss those days and I miss him. Gman keep up the great work! You always make me nostalgic and I kept help but remember the great times and laugh about it

[@joedkat]

Bruh your timing is insane I was just looking into picking up one of those newer light guns that were developed within the last year or so, and I was watching old Time Crisis gameplay. Love it!

[@zacheryeckard3051]

Newer light guns? Do tell!

[@joedkat]

@@zacheryeckard3051 Check out Gun4IR and Sinden. Gun4IR, in my opinion, seems like the better buy as there is no software you need to run on your PC to use it, whereas the Sinden needs software running for EACH light gun. Gun4IR also can be modded into just about any light gun if you are willing to do it yourself or hire Raymond from RPEG Electronics to do it for you. For example, he modded an old Super Jolt + foot pedal to work flawlessly for light gun game emulation, it is pretty sweet. You should check out his channel for more footage. So, if you hook up two Sindens to your PC to play together with a friend, you will have to open two instances of the Sinden software, which opens a Camera app that uses the camera on the Sinden for aiming. Sinden is also heavily dependent on lighting, and it requires a white border to be added via the software on your screen, which can conflict with any borders a game may already have in place.

That sound interesting. I been heard about aimtrak and another brand i cant remember. Is it good?

@@heavyzerodotoy2066 I've heard good things about Aimtrak, but as far as the most accurate and easily set up, Gun4IR seems to be one of the best ways to go. An Aimtrak light gun can be modified to work with the Gun4IR system, too.
