Just to let you guys know, if you were planning on picking this sniper rifle up that best buy has it available now for sale, you might want to check it out, because I have heard this gun is not produced in large quanties, my best friend works at EBgames, and was told not to accept any preoders or prepurchases for the gun, because they will be lucky if they can get any they are going to be that low quantity made. Just a heads up, I just picked mine up, it was the only 1 they had, it is an awesome gun for $50

Does it have the little LCD screen in it like the arcade gun?

Spiderbite

They had a ton of them at my local Best Buy. I would have picked one up but there on the side of the box was the statement "Not compatible with rear projection TVs" (or something like that).

I was really looking forward to this but will now have to pass. Is there a reason for this or are all light-guns not compatible with RPTVs?

tomwaits

There's no LCD screen.

My understanding is that there's a sensor / button on the end of the scope. When your eye hits the button, it triggers the screen zoom.

goLUCKY

someday they'll make light guns for RPTV, and LCDs.......someday

Can anyone with the gun give a review of it? What games does it work with? All Silent Scope games? Only newer Silent Scope games? All Gun games? $50 seems really cheap for a sniper rifle gun... I'm a little worried about build quality.

edit: never mind, I found most of the answers to my questions here: http://gameinfowire.com/news.asp?nid=3760

I'll definitely be buying this rifle and the accompanying game. Sounds like fun!

Lastblade

I want to hear how it works with Silent Scope as well.... I really want this rifle, but I hate the green

goLUCKY

I believe that Calico already has this gun, and is just waiting on Silent Scope.

I've seen where it says this gun is HDTV compatible - anyone know where there's a compatibility list for it? Specifically, I'm wondering if there's any chance it will be compatible with a Sony Vega 36XBR450, since I haven't seen any other guns that work with it.

Corky Roxbury

I have the gun as well, I will be testeing at on a 50" Panasonic LCd(I know just for the hell of it) a 27" Sony Wega(its not hidef so it should work fine), and a 40xbr800 wega( so if this works on this set then it is hdcompatible with tube HDTVs)

Punisher, I will post here on wednesday when the game comes out

Sega:
Outpost #: 3446693
Terrifying creepiness is afoot in House of the Dead III. Twenty years have passed since "The Curien Mansion Incident", and the mad scientist's inhuman experiments have continued -- but the doctor is long dead, so what tormented mind can be behind this gruesome trial? Has some twisted despot found the doctor's research -- or has a gate to Hades opened onto our world, spilling forth the seed of dark rituals?
Re-releasing 2/18/04 at a new low price!

Dacoops3

I know this rifle can break down and work with HOTD 3, but does anyone know if it will also work with NEW light gun games running of a emulator?

Lastblade

The rebate on the rifle only applies if you buy both the Silent Scope complete game and the rifle, so it is not as good as you think it is.

I just hate cutting up the UPC symbol from the game in order to get $10 back.

heavywear

thanks Jtnguyen12, lots of good info

nemein

Looks like I finally found something to blow that $35 in reward GCs on

Corky Roxbury

why would this gun work with emulators, I doubt it, just buy the real game

Dacoops3

I deleted the post, I meant NES (Nintendo 8 bit) emulator, and it does. Sorry.

sho kosugi

Forgive my ignorance.

Is this gun only for the Xbox, or will it work with the PS2?
Will it work with Silent Scope 1? Thanks.

Corky Roxbury

no it is for xbox only, thank god

I picked up the rifle today, verrrrry slick. It turned out to be a lot bigger and heavier than I thought, which is a good thing. I started playing house of the dead with it and its about as accurate as the madcatz gun. I was shooting with both guns for a while and it was fun! But the kickback is awful, it sounds like a dieing cat and has less kickback than an electric toothbrush. Maybe my unit has a bad motor though, I'd like to hear what everyone else thinks. If you have the gun please plug it into any game and turn kickback on and pull the trigger a few times and post back. Thanks.

Lastblade

Kaze0, can you turn off the kickback?

kaze0

Yes, kickback can be disabled.

There is an lcd gun, its for pc only and I havn't heard anyone try it out yet.
