Time Crisis 4 takes the action and technology behind the latest arcade game and puts it on your PlayStation 3. The game, along with a new version of the Guncon, is scheduled for release this November.

This new Guncon not only fully supports all HD-TVs (with the help of a pair of sensors that you hang off of the top of your TV), but it also supports dual analog sticks for camera control and ammo/weapon change.

The added controls built into the Guncon will help to make Time Crisis 4 feel more like a standard FPS than just another rail-shooter. Because of the added sticks, you can duck behind cover and control your camera better than before.

Time Crisis 4 itself is a port from the arcade with a few added bells and whistles to complement the Guncon. Players can select different paths throughout levels, so though the game is still a rail-shooter, this rail now has switches built in.

But that's not all, Time Crisis 4 will also support a full FPS mode that lets you run and gun off the rails. For the first time ever in the Time Crisis series, you will have control over where you go in the game world. You will get to traverse this mode as a brand new console-exclusive character across 5 new stages. The FPS mode features a few new armaments as well. You will have mounted machine guns and grenade launchers at your disposal.

Time Crisis 4 and the new Guncon are scheduled to come out as a package this November.
