A local Hong Kong manufacturer was showing off a new Gun for PlayStation 2 and Xbox that finally solves the long-lasting compatibility problems with the latest generation of televisions and screens. Be it with 100 Hz, Plasma or LCD, current lightguns for console games all have their issues, for several reasons related to the way they function. Coming with a different approach, this gun comes with a calibration module built-in. You point the gun to your screen and calibrate it by shooting at each of the four corners. After that, the screen area is properly defined and the sensor will also evaluate where you are shooting at. It relies on itself and therefore would work in theory with any type of screen from the past or from the future, even with a Retro-Projector pointed at a wall! Again, only a prototype was on the show, after failing in our theft attempts, we will have to wait until middle of November to get our hands on an evaluation sample, while the public release date is still unknown. Retail price will be set at US$ 39.90 according to the producer of the gun.

Nice

I can honestly say that not having a light gun compatiable screen has been stopping me from buying a newer TV set. If this works out like it says I won't have to limit myself to a CRT (AKA Tube) TV.

We already know that the standard Revolution controller will operate similarly. I'm willing to bet Sony's next generation GunCon will operate in this manner too. I'm just waiting to see if there is any change in the accuracy/precision in these new things.
