Some people want to hold back games for all eternity! I won't buy a single cross gen game for Fuckboxone or Noobstation4.
How does this play without the lightgun? Are motion controls available on Switch? Is it PSVR compatible. I would not want to play this with a standard controller.
House of the dead 1 remake had you control the pointer with analog movement or a mouse. It supported gyro on switch and was patched to support ps move on ps4. On pc you can buy lightguns that emulate mouse movement. Examples include Sinden Lightgun and Gun4IR.
Im pretty intimately familiar with the original and have even been playing it recently through flycast. much like hotd 1 remake i expect this to have major shortcomings in the gamefeel that jsut frequently make it feel off. Yet it still play to buy it to support modern lightgun games. Anyone with a Sinden or similar lightgun product should.
