I had the GunCon up close to my face and I was sighting down the barrel, and that didn't work.
I'd say that maybe the calibration was off, maybe somebody moved the sensors, but I could not figure out a way to actually aim my shots correctly.
Of course, maybe it needs them, because I didn't find the GunCon 3 to be very accurate at all. There are infrared sensors that you place on your TV, a camera in the muzzle of the gun, and even a nunchuk-style joystick attachment that attaches to your plastic orange pistol, giving you dual analog control.Īll it's missing are the accelerometers. Light gun games disappeared right around the time that high-definition TV sets came into vogue with the gamer set, and for good reason: traditional light guns don't work with fixed-pixel displays.īut Namco Bandai has figured out a way around that with their Guncon 3 controller for PlayStation 3.
