How The Time Crisis 4 Light Gun Works

 

 

As we reported earlier today, Time Crisis 4 is coming to the PS3. Unfortunately, there won't be online battle mode, but new missions will be available for download. Above, that's Time Crisis director Takashi Satsukawa showing off the new GunCon. But since standard light guns work on standard CRT televisions, how will this work on HDTVs? A GameWatch piece (since taken down) explains how it will work. Chris Kolher at Game|Life translates:

 

For the GunCon 3, you place two markers on the left and right sides of your TV screen. A camera inside the muzzle of the gun detects the position of the markers, and thus you can use it regardless of your monitor [type]. There are six buttons on the device and two analog sticks. One of them is placed on a "sub-grip" that you hold with your left hand, and another is on the barrel of the gun.

 

North America and Europe will an orange version of the GunCon 3, while Japan will see a blue-ish black one because Bandai Namco trusts they won't use it to hold up liquor stores.

Rumor: SOE Starting Beta Registration For The Agency?

 

 

Sony Online Entertainment's official site for the upcoming PC and PLAYSTATION 3 online game The Agency is recruiting. For what? We're not 100% sure exactly, but many of our readers believe this is an indication that early beta registration is the reason the site is taking requests to join one of the game's two factions.

 

I've personally responded to [email protected], but have not received a confirmation e-mail, nor a nicely written beta invite. We're waiting to hear back from SOE PR to find out if reader suspicions are true.

NPD: Video Game Industry Up Almost 50% in May

 

In what should come as little shock to you by now, Nintendo dominated the U.S. video game industry for another month. Pokemon led the software charts and the DS topped all hardware, followed by the Wii. Get the details... [update: Wii sells 338K, PS3 sells just 81K]

 

Following an April in which software sales were slightly down, in May the video game industry in the U.S. bounced back nicely. Console software was up 31 percent to more than $274 million, and total video game industry sales soared 49 percent to $815.5 million. Year-to-date, video game sales have reached $5 billion, a 47 percent increase over last year's $3.4 billion. A record breaking year would almost seem guaranteed for 2007.

 

Console hardware was a real driver of growth in May as sales climbed 79 percent to $221.4 million. Overall in hardware, the Nintendo DS (at this point, not surprisingly) took top honors... again. Nintendo sold through 423K units during the month. This was followed by Wii, PSP, PS2, Xbox 360, and then PS3. Unfortunately, NPD could not provide a complete hardware sales breakdown as of press time, but directionally it is interesting to see the PSP outselling the PS2, 360 and PS3.

 

On the software side, Nintendo's Pokemon Diamond for the DS once again led all titles. The game sold an additional 331.2K units, bringing total sales of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl in the U.S. to well over 2 million thus far. Diamond and Pearl have already sold over 5 million copies in Japan, and the entire Pokemon franchise has sold over 155 million.

 

Here's the complete top ten list (ranked by units), as provided by NPD.

 

1. Pokemon Diamond—DS—Nintendo

 

2. Mario Party 8—Wii—Nintendo

 

3. Spider-Man 3—PS2—Activision

 

4. Pokemon Pearl—DS—Nintendo

 

5. Wii Play w/remote—Wii—Nintendo

 

6. Forza Motorsport 2—Xbox 360—Microsoft

 

7. Guitar Hero II w/guitar—Xbox 360—Activision

 

8. Spider-Man 3—Xbox 360—Activision

 

9. Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars—Xbox 360—Electronic Arts

 

10. Guitar Hero II w/guitar—PS2—Activision

 

Note: NPD industry analyst Anita Frazier was not available for comment on this month's data.

 

[uPDATE] More hardware sales numbers are coming in, thanks to Bloomberg. The Wii sold 338K units in May, while the 360 sold a disappointing 155K. The PS3 meanwhile dropped from 82K last month to just 81K sold (81,604 units to be exact, according to SCEA). At least the PSP sold a healthy 221,120 units, according to SCEA. We also found out (via Sony ironically) that the GBA sold 80,554 units and the GameCube sold 10,728 units.

 

SCEA's Sr. Director, Corporate Communications, Dave Karraker issued us the following statement: "According to NPD data, May 2007 showed a 27.5% increase in total retail dollars generated year-over-year by the PlayStation brand in North America with total sales of $284 million. During the month, sales of PS3 were flat at 81,604 units. PSP witnessed a 39% increase in year-over-year sales thanks in part to the April price drop to $169, as well as our new marketing efforts with the 'Dude Get Your Own' campaign. PSP unit sales for May totaled 221,120. The PS2 also continued to be a strong performer during the month with unit sales of 187,765."

Sid Meier on PS3

"Thanks to the launch of platforms like PlayStation 3 the time is finally right for this transition," he explained. "Computers no longer have the edge on set-top systems. The technology is there; the audience is ready for deeper and more gripping experiences; and the bar's formally been raised in terms of enthusiasts' expectations. I hate to use the word convergence, but I don't know how else to describe the situation... The timing couldn't be more perfect."

 

Meier had nothing but good things to say about Sony's console business. "Sony's done an amazing job of establishing a quality standard and delivering on systems' promise. Look at the caliber of titles we're suddenly seeing from machines like the PlayStation 2 – the company takes a long-term view and really focuses on delivering amazing hardware right out of the box," he remarked. Sony's aim is to have the PS2 last ten years, and the company hopes the PS3 will have similar legs.

 

He added that it took years for developers to truly maximize the PS2, and he expects PS3 to amaze gamers in the long run. "Look at the level of content you're seeing on current-gen systems right now in the form of games like God of War II," Meier said. "Remember: The PlayStation 3 is light years ahead of this technology. As with any new platform, it's going to be a challenge and take designers some time to come to grips with the hardware. But believe me, you'll be amazed by the possibilities."

PS3 Rumors Swirl

CEO indicates Santa might be bringing a price drop.

 

For those complaining about the PlayStation 3's current $600 price tag, Sony's CEO Howard Stringer provided a ray of hope in an interview posted Thursday with the Financial Times and linked around the Internet.

 

In a candid interview, Stringer sat down with Chrystia Freeland, Financial Times U.S. managing editor, and talked about his company and the PS3's present and future.

 

"And while people have not bought as many PlayStation 3s as it looks, it is no different from PS2 and PS1 in terms of percentage of sales, and it is an experience that is dazzling," Stringer said. "I think that the public would like the cost to be lower, there's no question about that, but meanwhile…"

 

"How much lower can you afford to bring it down?" Freeland asked.

 

"That's what we're studying at the moment," Stringer responded. "That's what we're trying to refine. But PlayStation 2…"

 

"Will you come up with an answer by Christmas?" Freeland asked.

 

"Yes, of course," Stringer said.

 

When reached for comment today, a spokesperson for Sony Computer Entertainment America said the company hasn't made any announcements for adjusting the price of any Sony platform.
