Talk:List of light-gun games

message: Let's try to make this a definative list!  I just finished my revision!
:What light guns are used for The House of the Dead PC games?  Unless if a list exists, and I'm unaware of it, someone should start a list of light guns and what systems they're compatible with.  I know there's a light gun article, but why not have a list of light guns categorized by console or PC system? --164.107.92.120 03:03, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Gunblade NY and LA Machineguns were joystick driven. The tips did no calibration or reading of the screen. They're as much of a light gun game as Star Wars Arcade Trilogy or Revolution-X. (Joystick driven. Just shaped guns for joysticks)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.103.10.58 (talk) 22:12, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not all are light gun games 

message: Like the arcade versions of Point Blank and Point Blank 2 (i don't know about the third one, but i guess it's also available as arcade). Ran4 13:08, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Some more games need to be added 

message: I looked over the most recent edits and they all can be backed up by such websites as the Killer List of Video Games and the Time Crisis 4 information is even found on EBGames' official website.  So, I don't see where the vandalism was on this page.  If it's because of some user or something, the edits on this page at least appear to be highly verifiable and relevant.  So, I'm just confused. --172.132.56.140 19:50, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

According to numerous websites, Time Crisis 4 is also coming to the Playstation 3 with a new version of the GunCon controller that can be used with high-definition televisions."Time Crisis 4 Coming To PS3? Yeah." "Namco's latest update to the much-loved shooting series exposed in this set of shakycam gameplay videos - plus PS3 conversion plans leaked?" "Lightgun shooter heading to Sony's console, claim US retailers"

thread_title: Protection?

message: While at The Exchange yesterday, an employee claimed that Namco will be making light gun games for the PlayStation 3.  Can anyone verify that information and if so, where should we put it?  I know that the PlayStation 3 is getting a new GunCon for Time Crisis 4, but I had not heard much else, so  if anyone has additional information about future light gun games for the PlayStation 3, please place them in an appropriate article.

thread_title: PlayStation 3

message: I see this game periodically added to the list.  Anyway, I have the versions for both the SNES and PlayStation and they do not work with the Super Scope, Justifier, or GunCon, respectively.  I have only been able to get them to play with the regular standard controllers, but not with any light guns. :(  Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des CitrouillesTally-ho! 18:45, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Revolution X was never a light gun game.  While the arcade cabinet had 'guns' they were in fact positional joysticks moving a cursor.  Though it could still be argued to be a 'rail shooter' or an '(arcade) gun game' it is not really a 'light gun game'.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.241.49.17 (talk) 21:10, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: This is old but I'll put in my take. The arcade versions of Revolution X use "positional guns" and not true light guns as this page was made for. People need to read the rules/conditions and I admit I made the same mistake. Darkcat1 (talk) 15:51, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Xbox 360

message: It was a light gun game, I can't remember who made it. This was in the mid/late 80's around the time of Hang-on. Anyway, your character was some kind of cop/terrorist hunter and the screen would scroll up along the side of a building and you would have to shoot the villians who showed up in windows (while being careful not to shoot innocent victims). I can't remember much else about it sorry but it was a fun game :)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bmathew (talk • contribs) 06:55, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: anyone remember this arcade game?

message: This hyperlink brings up and irrelevant page about Christian homeless missions. I was tempted to un-link the page but decided that would be thought of aandalism. Does anyone know how to stop this hyperlink from bringing up the irrelevant article, and to request a new article on the Sega Master System game "Rescue Mission"?

message: I just removed Hogan's Alley and Wild Gunman from the list, since they were both erroneously listed as having been released in 2008, and there is no information to lead to the conclusion that they will have Light-Gun support since not even Operation Wolf did.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.14.80.92 (talk) 16:26, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  NES Virtual Console Games do not have Light-Gun Support 

message: I just wana say something I read by talking to the collectors who have these games.  Operation Wolf and it's counterparts have guns that are mounted but still use optical tracking so they are not positional guns per say. I don't have a good source except the KLOV forums. Darkcat1 (talk) 18:32, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: This was discussed at Talk:Operation Wolf#Light Gun Input. It seems that the Operation Wolf games use a combination of positional gun along with an optic sensor. I guess the positional gun is used to determine the position of the crosshairs while the sensor is used to register the actual shots. In that case, I think it would count as a light gun game. --Jtalledo (talk) 11:22, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

message: This was at "List of Gun Games", but it was moved to "List of Light Gun Games" by @Soetermans.
I think the original article name was correct. This is a list of games that use a gun accessory.  The majority of those accessories are lightguns, but certainly not all of them.  Some of them use other technology. Sometimes as simple as mounting the gun on what is basically a joystick. 
The only reason I didn't just revert is that I just noticed that the intro has said "light gun" for some months now, but I believe that is also wrong. Anyone have opinions on that?
ApLundell (talk) 23:34, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: My argument is that we need WP:CONSISTENCY: the accessory itself is called light gun, the main article is light gun shooter and this is a list of those type of games. Like you said, the majority are about those type of games. And looking up "gun game" in the custom WP:VG/RS search engine, a "gun game" mode is apparently a thing. "It works similar to ‘gun game’ modes in other FPS games: you upgrade your weapon every time you get a kill. Respawns are enabled, and every time you get killed, your weapon is downgraded a level." All the more reason why "light gun game" is more appropriate. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 05:44, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: My point is that not all the games in this list use the accessory that is called a "light gun". Some use other gun-shaped accessories. ApLundell (talk) 05:01, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

text: I guess maybe the thing to do is to just explain in the lede that they're not all lightguns. ApLundell (talk) 23:32, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
