Hmmm that's cool and all, but it's for the Wii......is it even worth it??
Well, it's a Wii exclusive, and part of a 12-13 year old franchise, so if you're a fan of the series then I would say yes, it is worth it.
it's probably just another excuse for them to pretend that the Wii can be used for Gun games... even though the Wii Remote is horrible compared to a legit gun controller.
I second that. I find the Wii controller isn't really accurate enough - Something i've noticed whilst playing some basic shooting games on Wii Play. I haven't played any of the Wii House Of The Dead games, so I can't really comment. Seems as if Sega are the only ones interested in this genre on the Wii though, which surprises me as I thought Namco would've taken advantage of the Wii-mote for their franchises
well a real light gun tracks the position of the gun in relation to the screen.
the Wii remote track the position of the gun in relation to the sensor bar.
so if your TV is 5inches wide or 50 inches wide doesn't matter to the Wii because 1degree of adjustment moves the pointer the same % across the screen.
No matter what size or shape screen you're using with the Wii it never "shoots" where you're pointing it because for all it knows you don't even have a screen to look at.
unfortunately traditional light guns don't work on anything but old Tube TVs, they do make legit "light guns" that work on a more advanced system than what Nintendo uses with large sensor bars on either side of, or completely around the parameter of the screen (this is how projection arcade machines do gun tracking)... the only proper light gun setup like that I've seen was a 3rd party accessory for the PS2/PC.
I have no idea idea what the Time Crisis 4 PS3 gun setup is like but I would HOPE it's IR based... I would suspect the reason HOTD being released for the Wii is two fold
1. everyone who owns a Wii alreay has a "gun controller" meaning the game can be released without one at a cheaper price (=more potential sales)
2. the Wii has a larger market share (=more potential sales)
I'd totally buy HOTD4 if they released it with a gun controller for the 360... but it doesn't look like that will happen.
It's an limited edition for Australia only
Very nice! I think most people expected a similar box set here in the UK, with at least one 'Hand cannon', but all we received was a stupid slipcase and a comic. Nothing special.
Do you have any other information regarding this edition? Was it exclusive to any particular store? Could you provide any links? I will add it to teh database as soon as I have enough information!

Here´s the link https://ssl.dvdcrave.com/products/product.jsp?pid=47986
And here is the info of the pack:
Product Description:
Bang Bang Box Set Includes - House of the Dead Collectors Edition Game Includes Collectors Sleeve and exclusive Prelude to an Overkill Graphic Novel starring Valla Guns! - 2 x HOTD commissioned AMS Hand Cannons. These are a replica of the hand cannons used by Agent G in the game. The hand cannons will also allow firing from the trigger with a new advanced mechanism that allows the player to shoot as they would in real life.
And i also have a pack from Holland with the game and one handcannon.
And i payed 60 euro for it in the pre-order and today it is only 38 euro... that is within one day... sucks.
But anyway here is a picture of that too:
In this package there is a handcannon with a black handle wich is different from the cannons you can buy elsewhere.
Until now everything is still sealed, butt i have to choose one to open...
Cause i realy want to try it... but wich one
added the bang bang box..
anymore info on the single hand cannon version?
anymore info on the single hand cannon version?
With a black handle. It's just what you see on the picture.
I saw that you placed the bang bang box. Why no picture?
And the price you tagged it with is in Australian dollars
I don't post pictures I don't own the rights to, also a lot of times the product photo doesn't always match the real end product. If you have pictures that you took that you'd like me to post I would be happy to see them.
the price posted will always match the currency for the country it's listed under... it's under Australia so it's in US dollars. I don't want the site to be US centric, and with conversion rates fluxuating wildly these days it wouldn't be right for me to convert prices.
Ok then, i'll see if i can make any pictures anytime soon now.
And for now... Shall i open the 1 gun pack?
Cause i need to pick one to play with
its your stuff man you can do whatever you like
I know that of course. But i was more aiming for a response like: You should'nt open that one or better open the other one.
I open all of mine so I'm a bad person to ask
And I keep all mine sealed, so I too am a bad person to ask for opinion! Lol!
Hehe... both of you are'nt of any use to me. So i just have to order another one
Should i mail the pictures directly to you or imagevenue or something
