Is the PS3 lightgun basically useless then?

[noiseredux]

So Time Crisis 4 was originally released with a lightgun. Pretty cool, since it's one of those ones that works with LCD TV's and all. But then TC4 was re-issued as a Move game and stopped coming with a gun. So really, if I were to track down a gun, is there any point? Is that the only game to use it? (No PSN titles or Move titles can also use the gun?)

Nope that was the only game that used it. I ended up selling my big box Time Crisis 4 and Guncon for like 60 or 70 a year ago. For some reason it has collectable value but not much practical value now with move out.

that sucks. The gun seems a lot cooler than the Move.

and it won't work for PS1 lightgun games I take it?

At one time i was tempted to buy the PS3 Guncon 3 with the LED belts. The hope was compatibility with PS2 Lightgun games such as Vampire Night on the HD. No luck, the USB gun is unsupported on PS2 gun games.

There are only two PS3 Lightgun games.

Time Crisis 4
Time Crisis: Razing Storm

aren't those the same game? I think RZ is just the re-released version of TC4. So really there's just ONE PS3 Guncon game.

That's what it's good for then, I guess.

Unfortunately the guncon is basically useless. I love lightgun games and had the same problem. I already owned the guncon and didn't want to buy the whole move setup. I eventually caved in bought the move with the sharpshooter gun and I couldn't be happier with it.

I have owned pretty much every single gun available for every console since Duck Hunt and the move sharpshooter setup is my favorite of all time. I was not sold on it at all until I played a few games with it but now I actually prefer it most of the time.

I beat Killzone 3 on normal and hard and have never once played the game with a controller. I am almost done with Socom 4 and I haven't played that with a controller either. I liked it so much I bought a second sharpshooter gun and move setup so I can play co-op Socom on two different tv's when friends come over. Two guns are also awesome for some co-op Time Crisis.

Razing Storm consists of 3 games.

This comment, plus my brief experience with an in-store demo, really makes me want one.

In some of the reviews for TC4, some reviewers thought the calibration was way off; when they did the review for Crisis Zone, they thought the Move had better accuracy then the TC4 light gun.
