GunCon on a PS3

[Nico87]

Well, I just found a copy of Elemental Gearbolt tucked away somewhere in my closet, and seeing as I love Working Designs, I thought I might give it a go. Obviously I need to invest in a GunCon, but a GC wouldn't work on a PS3, would it? It's no problem for me to use it on my PS2, but I'd prefer it if a GunCon version or something similar would work with the PS3 and PS1 games.

I got Time Crisis 4 for the PS3 and it comes with as PS3-specific Guncon. The cord has a USB plug on the end, and it comes with a couple of infrared sensors you put on top of your TV.

You can play with a controller.

But you'll have to invest in a PS1/PS2 to play it with a GunCon. PS3 is a no-go.

Oh, right, sorry for that. Guess I'll with a GunCon on the PS2 then.

Wont it work even if you connect the PS3 to a SDTV and use the "composite output port" (or what i shall call it, not the HDMI output port) on the PS3?

I haven't tried that, but the instructions are pretty specific that you need to set up the LED sensors for either a 4x3 or 16X9 TV.

Wasn't there some third party gun released for PS2 3-4 years ago that can be used on a HDTV? Anyone know if there's PS1 backward compatibility with that gun or if it can even be used on a PS3?

I bought a few Time Crisis 3 copies recently on clearance, I'll have to give them a try with EG tonight on my HDTV. (Rear projection)

Yes there were several but they are impossible to find now...out of production. Also I think they werre only available online for the most part. I believe they worked with the PS2 and PS1 game, but never actually bought one, they were pricey...

Sorry, i think that i was suppose to quote Oobgram instead, since he was mentioning PS1 games in general that had Guncon support, and that was what i was wondering about, if it is possible to play PS1 games with a Guncon on the PS3 if you use a SDTV and if you use the composite output port on the PS3 instead of using the HDMI output port when you connect the PS3 to the TV

But regarding Time Crisis 4, this game will probably only work with LED sensors indeed as you say I own Time Crisis 4 for the PS3 myself and i also had to use the LED sensors on my 4x3 SDTV.

I am sorry for the late reply here by the way, i forgot to check this thread again before now :\

EDIT: I added some text.

I'd really like to get Time Crisis 4 and the gun. But it's not happening until Namco release Time Crisis 1 - 3, Project Titan & Crisis Zone and all the Point Blank games on PSN or a compilation disc.

I haven't tried it since I don't own a GunCon 3. I'd think they interact with the system differently and therefore be unusable, but that's just harboring a guess.

That would be nice! It sucks alittle that the only G-Con game for the PS3 so far is Time Crisis 4. I wish someone released more light gun games for the PS3.

Ah ok, no problem, i was just wondering Thanks for the answer!
