LCD monitors receive support for light guns - a novel G'AIM'E gun controller, equipped with Namco game titles, is launched via Kickstarter.
Readyfor a dash of nostalgia and a touch of modern tech? Check out the upcoming Kickstarter project, the G'AIM'E gun controller set, bringing back the thrill of fast, responsive light gun gaming right in your living room! These bundles will feature some popular shoot 'em up titles from the past, thanks to a license from Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc.
CRT TVs might have been the gold standard for light gun gamers, but the shift to LCDs left us high and dry. Consoles during that era opted for motion controls or additional IR sensors for crosshair positioning, failing to capture the magic of light gun gaming. But it seems that the wait is over, as the low-latency G'AIM'E light gun controller promises to revive the glory days on modern LCDs.
So, what's new? The G'AIM'E gun ditches the traditional infrared for a high-resolution camera and AI technology. According to the Kickstarter page, this magical combo will give you that intense, time-based action you miss, all playable on modern displays. And, unlike other solutions, the G'AIM'E doesn't rely on your console, PC, smart TV, or mobile power – it's a standalone device with a 10-foot cable, so no Bluetooth lag worries!
While Tassei Denki is honest about light gun gaming lacking on LCDs, potential Kickstarter backers should exercise caution. Before backing, take a peek at a demo video or third-party reviews, and see how well the hardware stacks up against the good old CRT light gun controllers of yore.
As for the launch date and pricing details, we're still in the dark. Plus, remember: backing a crowdfunded project is an investment, not a guarantee of receiving a finished product. So, stretch out that credit card, cross your fingers, and wait with baited breath for the return of light gun gaming glory!
