So Sony and Microsoft, get a gun sorted ASAP and game developers get on board, it’s time for light guns – one of the pillars of gaming – to come back home, just maybe leave the weird gun names in the past. It’s not big, it’s certainly not clever but light guns offer mindless fun and a proper arcade experience at home. They are also perfect as party games or to play with non-gamers as other releases get more complicated. It seems like people might even appreciate an hour-long home shooter. Shooting is fun and light gun games seem ideal at a time when the gaming world has recoiled at Techland saying Dying Light 2 will take 500 hours to complete. A retro pack remastered with modern hardware would do and it seems a missed opportunity that no one has tried to release a light gun with the games built-in. There are plenty of past classics that could be remastered or revamped. That’s the future, but we could be shooting stuff in the meantime. You can only imagine the fun of shooting zombies on a PS5 or Xbox One on a massive TV set or, even better, a projector with graphics as good as that recent Matrix demo.
