Oh Em Gee: Guncon 3 To Be Available Seperatly

According to a post the other day, there currently are no extra Guncon 3's for Time Crisis 4 available in stores to have some two player fun with.

So if your gun breaks, or if you want to play with your friend, then what are you going to do? Well Ripten called up Namco Bandai to find out the story.

"We do not sell replacement Guncon 3's. If the Guncon 3 is defective, then we can provide an RMA exchange where we’ll inspect and repair or replace your Guncon 3."

What about split-screen multiplayer?

You can play the split-screen with one Guncon 3 and a controller. If you wish to play two players using two Guncon 3s then you will need another copy of Time Crisis 4.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

But wait! Look! The Guncon 3 will be available online on December 20, 2007 thanks to Ripten's Brian spotting it on PlayAsia. So calm down, and pre-order your guns. When the family comes over for Christmas, you show them how to play.

Call of Duty 5 Goes Old School: World War II

Those of you who enjoyed Call of Duty 4's modern warfare, then you'll be disappointed to hear this.

Treyarch, the developers who are taking Call of Duty 5 into it's hands, seem to be bringing the series back to the World War II fashion. This is according to a job advertisement posted on the Treyarch website.

The job ad is for a level builder. The ad states you need “working experience with First-Person Shooter or Third-Person Shooter genres”, does go on to add, “if you’re a fan of World War 2 shooters, then even better!”.

As of now, it's kind of obvious considering Call of Duty is the only FPS they've worked on. We can only hope it's an ad for another title.

Confirmed: Devil May Cry 4 Demo Coming 2008

Capcom has confirmed today that a Devil May Cry 4 demo will be available for download on the PLAYSTATION Network and Xbox Live Marketplace come early 2008. Hexus was able to obtain what would be in the demo.

he demo consists of a sampling of sections from the full game, chosen to showcase Devil May Cry 4’s varied locales and allows gamers to familiarize themselves with Nero’s unique abilities. Players will receive instruction on the various new actions that the Devil Bringer bestows, such as the ability to slam creatures to the ground, cover great distances in a single bound or even grab enemies while on the ground or in the air and pull them towards Nero to continue the attack combo. The Exceed system allows Nero to “rev up” his sword as if it were a motorcycle throttle and unleash devastating attacks. Players will need to master all these techniques before the end of demo showdown with the mighty Berial.
