PS3 GunCon 3 controller boasts Wiimote-like abilities
Filed under: Gaming


It looks like those itching to find out exactly how the just-announced GunCon 3 controller for the PlayStation 3 would work need wonder no more, as Japan's Game Watch website appears to have scored the details, although they've since disappeared from the site. Wired's Game Life managed to preserve the key bits, however, which reveal that the controller functions much like a Wiimote, relying on a pair of markers placed on top of the TV that are detected by a camera in the muzzle of the gun. The gun also packs a full range of traditional controls, including six buttons and two analog sticks, although we doubt many will be ditching their SIXAXIS for it. While there's still no official word on a North American release, the gun and Time Crisis 4 will apparently be released in Japan sometime before the end of the year.

i have to get this for my dad, he loved playing time crisis on the original playstation, it was the only thing in wich he was better than me. (mostly because he doesn't understand anything about game controllers)

They seem to have nicked their jacket off a scarecrow.

GunCon? Gun Con? Who came up with that name?

Probably a team of designers and market analysts had a big thinktank and after hours of belming and putting random words together, came up with it. Frankly, the biscuits at the meeting would have done better.
