The Xbox has three light gun games:
Starsky & Hutch (On the PS2)
The House of The Dead 3 (On the PC, soon, I think)
Silent Scope Complete (Only version with light-gun support.Konami hates the PS2 or something.)
Edit:
If you own ALL 3 for the Xbox, I'd like it if you could append something to my gun list.

Isn't HOTD2 included with HOTD3 as an unlockable? That would make 4 for the Xbox then...

I am also wondering what type of gun system they are using to work on those HD monitors. That's one thing that could keep games like this from the home.
Probably just thicker pass bands for the "flash."BlackClouds said:
Heck, it might even be easier now that a lot of it won't be interlaced.
Edit:
GameFaqs seems to confirm HOTD2 is in HOTD3. That's nice, but I'll probably never get an Xbox. (Crazy Taxi 3 has all 3 and you can mix and match characters between games.)

where did you get that from? I think all the games Sega showed at the special E3 screening were for xbox360!

Thanks mate!
A whole wave of next generation Sega Sammy titles are about ready; their development, as well as SEGA's premiere development these past few years, has been well known among company news outside of the console sector.
They've developed their own next generation arcade systems with PowerVR technology (one for the high-end and one for the value market) ahead of the launch of the new consoles by many months. They've been able to show the most complete next generation footage recently because they've been working with more finished hardware much earlier than next gen console developers.
High definition proscan, widescreen, rock solid 60 fps.

Here's hoping HotD4 is PS3-bound, being that it'll probably still need to be wired and PS2 has all those USB ports.
.. What? You'll be getting a lame PS2 port of it.. but hoping it's on PS3.. because PS2 has the USB ports.
Okay then.
This post motivated me to try out HOTD3 for PC. Fun, although (naturally) short title that looks pretty nice running in 1280X1024. Obviously it loses something in the transition from light gun to mouse, but I had a good time. I'm really interested to see what kind of hardware is fueling HOTD4.

Sweet! Anyone have any experience with this gun?
Works with a USB camera mounted on the top of the TV/cabinet. One to one ratio of gun to USB camera, but there's a version coming out late this year or early next that will have the ability to track two guns from one usb camera.
It was at E3 and worked really well. If you get out of sync (you step too far to the left or right of where you started), you can recalibrate at any time with a button on the gun.
Everything about this screamed "hit", but they must have the worst PR person ever. They've been selling this for 7 months in the US, and NO ONE I talked to in the press at E3 and some after had ever heard of them. I've made it my business to tell them all about this because this thing is for real and solves the plasma/progressive scan problems and works with EXISTING GAMES.

I remember seeing footage of this gun but held off. I thought it was going to hit the retail space. I was in Fry's today and almost bought a 3rd party gun just so I can crack the shrink wrap on my HotD3 for XBox. I want a gun for my XBox bad it's killing me, but I'd like to get one with some quality to it (since I hear that HotD2 is unlockable in the XBox version of HotD3). I was in Fry's today and saw a cheapy 3rd party gun for $25 bucks, the nadcatz has yet to drop in price. I hated the guns they made for the DC, they just wouldn't stay calibrated. No way in hell I'm even gonna try their XBox product.
I love the Guncon stuff for PS2, if it's a gun game I'm all over it regardless of platform. Still have yet to find a copy of Crisis Zone...but I'm digressing.
I was really hoping we'd see Virtua Cop 3 on the XBox this gen, and I prey Sega brings us some cool gun game to the next gen consoles. I'd love to see a classic bundle with all the greats with a kick ass gun (i.e. HotD1-3, VC1-3, Confidential Mission, Ghost Squad, Jurassic Park: Lost World, The Ocean Hunter....most of the good ones!)
Anyway, anybody have any suggestions on a decent gun for the current XBox?

No, its much worse. flat panel displays just light up all at once - there isn't a scanning electron beam like there used to be. CRT HD might be OK, but even they convert anything above 480p to 1080i, and that would screw up any normal light gun tech.
They need a different solution. There are some around. Heck, the sequel to Lethal Enforcers years ago had a machine gun section and no screen flash that I could detect, so that must have used an alternative sensor.
Hopefully that USB camera gun works well. Only problem is I've never heard a real person's impressions, and that makes me suspicous. Maybe I should be guinea pig.
I waited for a bit to play with the gun at E3. They had Time Crisis 3 setup and it was just a bunch of business men. A bit weird, eh? Especially for Kentia hall. No Korean people with a weak command of the English language.
They kept playing. They sucked, but I can't go much beyond that because I don't know whether their skills were lacking (most likely) or the gun.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, how reliable is that site? If it is true it gives me hopes regarding a console port, although I'm still waiting for VC3 and Ghost Squad...neo2046 said:

Google's shitty translation:
-You fire an Ingram submachine gun
-40 shells per magazine
-You can fire grenades with a button
-You must shake the gun to reload (?)
-Graphics are very good
-Year 2003. Main characters are Kate and James (from HotD2)
-A lot of senseless engrish that I can't understand.
I am so damn excited.
