Time Crisis 4

[gameoverDude]

So does the new Guncon magically make Timecrisis 1-3 playable through the PS3 on a HDTV?

Given the Guncon 3's being an infrared powered gun, I'm doubting that- but I'd like to be wrong. Even the arcade version uses some sort of IR setup. Taking a cellphone pic of the TC4 cabinet's screen reveals some infrared LEDs surrounding the monitor.

I hope there will be ports of TC 1-3 and Crisis Zone as unlockables, if Namco hasn't found a way to pull off a GC2 emulation mode.

1Up is far worse than IGN. They just need to trade Shane for MarkRyan so they'd be completely worthless.

3.5

Bullshit rating for 1up review:

Argh, yet more EGM reviewer fuckery. TC4 isn't easy, but it's not cheap hard either. I've 1CCed it in the arcade, something I bet this reviewer won't do until Hell freezes over. He doesn't deserve to review any more arcade ports, IMHO.

The "Knife-Throwing-Orange Guy" is likely a red Marksman. These guys are no problem with practice, once you get some suppressive fire down on places where they're ready to come out.

Mr. Suttner probably credit-fed his way through TC4 in the arcade and ended up with a shit score like 2.1 million, while running out of credits on the PS3 one. He probably can't link the combos, perform 1H2B kills, fill up the combo time bar (it resets if you continue), or get an accuracy of over 30%.

"Get your lost lives back between levels"? How about not losing them in the first place. Try being a little more watchful for those Crisis Sightings from white soldiers- though rare, they do happen. Kill the Field Commanders (black soldiers) ASAP too. They're as accurate as the red Marksmen, just a little slower.

He doesn't mention if there is or isn't Link Play in the PS3 one. OTOH, IGN's Jeff Haynes gave it an 8.0. http://ps3.ign.com/articles/836/836596p2.html

So they rate RE Umbrella Chronicles a 7.5 and Time Crisis 4 a 3.5?
I've played RE and its no 7.5 Yikes. I really wanted to play TC 4 but 1 review of 3.5 really scares me away. Sure it got a 8 from IGN, but a fucking 3.5? God damn.

Yeah, but read the review. By the end of the first paragraph the guy makes sure that you know that he's an idiot.

The worst Time Crisis game is better than any Wii gun game.

The arcade version is great. Don't let 1up's review put you off- I trust IGN's reviewer far more in this case. I'd give some PS3 impressions, but I'm still waiting for my PS3 one to be shipped out.

See, this is why I am so demanding about every review taking the whole gaming industry into account. You can't review a game in a vacuum responsibly.

Yeah, I was really looking forward to this game too. $89.99 is a lot to shell out for a game that may end up being a 3.5...

I agree about RE: UC. I've been playing through that game over the weekend, and I have no clue why its getting consistently rated in the 7.5 range. Its no higher than a 6.0 IMO, and TC 4 should be able to easily beat that.
