Time Crisis is bringing back the nostalgia with a new AI powered gun compatible with modern TVs. This kit from Achievement Electric will allow you to use light guns conveniently without needing to worry about acquiring an old CRT or tinkering with setups.
The AI Gun Con system comes pre-loaded with the original Time Crisis game, designed for all LCD monitors. The pricing starts at $89.99 for a basic unit and goes up to $119.99 for an arcade mode setup which includes a pedal controller.
Expect an official release date announcement soon as the Tokyo Game Show approaches shortly.
Would you want to know more about how AI is used in this device before buying?
Kneejerk “it’s a camera, they’re spying on you” gave way to “wait no this is sensible.”
Neural networks were getting super good at any complex task with a simple approximate output. It’s only all this LLM and generator nonsense that got the money-addicts horny and soured any mention of “AI.” A webcam-- sorry, a smartphone camera module that takes a photo and goes “yep, that’s a bright rectangle, you’re pointing at <0.23,0.71>” would be a pain to code from scratch, but relatively straightforward to train.
Of course they might still be using that to spy on you, because we’re trapped in the belly of this horrible machine and the machine is bleeding to death.
