Thanks for uploading George and just wow, you weren’t joking mate! I thought the point of light gun games were that they are supposed to be thrilling, with fast paced excitement included? The pace and premise of this game is baffling – and why would you want to play as a nondescript entity in a game with a well known character attached lol. I’ve no idea as you say why it also doesn’t have visual cues outlining the nearest threat, which is also an essential element of light gun games. I can’t imagine anyone in an arcade seeing this and being attracted to the machine enough to put cash in, which is surely the point! Bizarre stuff and a blot on the otherwise great teknoparrot videos you have been putting up – my fault for asking! 😆
yes mate it’s really weird. it was actually (apparently) by crystal dynamics, too, and even though i’ve hated the tomb raider reboot titles (not tomb raider imo, no tombs to speak of !) i am aware that these people DO know how to program games. people just need to play one or two “classic” light gun games to understand the language and flow of them, then they can go on to replicate that in their own game and add some different flourishes or whatever but THIS ? it’s like no-one involved has even played a light gun game, nor do they have any idea of how people (and animals) move or behave. This is SUB Cabela level and those games are fucking ridiculous BUT at least they are fun(ny). you asked for it and you got it mate can’t backpedal now !
The reboot Tomb Raider games are not bad games, they’re just not Tomb Raider really. They are like Uncharted games but better (they’re less linear for starters).
yes mate. it’s very bad. can’t understand why so much money was clearly put into the development of this game i mean really it’s fucking awful it’s like there was no QA process or something, the game is fundamentally a complete mess on all levels.
Many of the later 90s and early 00s games were just running on PCs. There wasn’t even any point building any custom hardware for them. By now they’re definitely commodity hardware and you have to ask yourself what are you truly getting over the home gaming experience now?
flashing lights, the chance to get battered or robbed by a stranger, other peoples stink/sweat on controllers, the list of plus points is endless mate :p
yes mate AND it’s fucking rubbish. no idea who thought this up. it actually caused the comnpany who distributed it to go bust (as far as i can remember, anyway).
really bad this one mate ! i did find out that the slow firing speed is due to emulation lag, though, and that if you run it standalone you can fire faster. still absolutely shit, though !

The House of the Shit would be a better title.

Is that from the Barcadia marketing material?
22 grand ! Wow. A strange choice for a light gun game

Fucking hell, I thought i could smell something…
