Experience PS Plus Premium’s Time Crisis with PS5 and PS4 Gyro Controls
Classic light gun game Time Crisis is set to arrive on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 in May. This release will feature innovative gyro controls that enhance gameplay. Although official footage has not yet been released, a demonstration by the YouTube channel Andshrew has provided insights into how the game will perform on the new consoles.
Gyro Controls Enhance Gameplay
Utilizing a jailbroken console, Andshrew showcased the arcade classic’s PS1 ROM within Sony’s emulator. The demo indicated that gyro functionality has been integrated effectively. The default button mappings include:
- Shooting assigned to the Circle button
- Reloading assigned to the R1 button
- Re-centering the gyro using the Triangle button
The review noted that tracking accuracy is impressive, offering a fun and engaging experience. While playing on a PS5 or PS4 will never completely replicate the authentic feel of a GunCon and a CRT television, it provides a more convenient option for fans of the genre.
Potential for Future Releases
This release could signal a resurgence of light gun games on modern consoles. Bandai Namco’s ongoing support for PS Plus Premium raises expectations for additional titles. Fans are hopeful for the inclusion of:
- Point Blank
- Crisis Zone
There are also calls for Capcom to consider re-releasing Resident Evil Survivor, expanding the library of light gun experiences.
As PlayStation continues to innovate, the addition of Time Crisis with gyro controls may pave the way for nostalgic gameplay, making it an exciting development for fans and gamers alike.
