[PS2] Time Crisis: Crisis Zone ~ ALL Crisis Missions, Hard difficulty (PCSX2 + Nuvee)

[@robogen1331]

Forgot how ridiculously annoying the screen smoke was

[@blackyoshi1230]

Thanks for the calibration advice, that actually helped out a big boon.
What I did (this is just for a regular Mouse only, Light Gun Peripherals you'll have to follow calibration steps):
- Start the game as usual, headed to the game's Options Menu.
- Nuvee Plugin: "Plug in" the Gun (using the Mouse, keep the "swap players 1-2" flag on). Set the Profile to [Insert Game Here], turn on the Mouse Calibration Hack. Click on the "Reconnect Devices" checkbox. Click OK.
- Calibrate the Gun in the game's calibration screen.
- Back to the Nuvee Plugin: Turn off the Mouse Calibration Hack, click on the "Reconnect Devices" checkbox again. Click OK.
The Machine Guns in TC3 and Crisis Zone, and the Auto Gun in TC2 work like a charm. Changing the window sizes doesn't affect using a Mouse.
You are right that _Crisis Zone_ does work like a charm on PCSX2, the cutscenes aren't borked and it works perfectly with OpenGL Hardware Mode.

I'm glad I could help you. I found that the Smokeless Patch, convenient as it is, is both way too restricting and way too laggy. Nuvee really is a better solution if you can tolerate the smokescreen (and being really hard to set up)

Special Weapon Zone 3 (11:23) plays like Namco's Golgo 13 games, except without the scope.

[@ReapingRose115]

Been trying to get Nuvee to work with PCSX 1.6 and so far it's been a nogo. Shots are extremely delayed and flash stays too long, I can't even shoot rapidly with a handgun in any light gun game
1.3 seems to work for now but I'll test further as it doesn't seem to like Crisis Zone.

[@FamilyTeamGaming]

I haven't used 1.6.0 yet. This footage was recorded with a dev version of 1.5.0.
Input lag with PCSX2 is completely random on my end: every time I boot up any game, the delay I get ranges from anywhere between "imperceptible" to "half a second off". Luckily, for whatever reason, if I make a save state in a session where the input lag is acceptable, loading said state seems to keep it. That's what I do.

[@ReapingRose115]

@@FamilyTeamGaming Will probably get a Dev version to see. I was disappointed with 1.6.0 because it made a lot of light gun games, if not all of them, unplayable

[@UltramanMebiusBrave]

One magazine per weapon requires you to shoot wisely.

[@galaxy.retrogame]

thanks a lot for your tutorial link!!

[@FamilyTeamGaming]

You're welcome

I think crisis zone:crisis mission are much harder than any other TC missions

[@FamilyTeamGaming]

I don't necessarily feel so, honestly. Crisis Zone does have some really hard missions but I feel like it's at the same rate the mainline games do. The fact 7 whole missions are just the bosses from both campaigns kinda helps dampen the difficulty here a bit too.
Getting all gold medals, however, is absolutely easier here than it is on the main games. I find that just giving the missions a difficulty increase makes that much more achievable than making you play the existing missions borderline perfectly like they make you do in those.

[@ace5566]

@@FamilyTeamGaming I guess not requiring to concern about score in the Crisis Zone Crisis Missions does make those earlier as those in the main series do require the player to aim for mostly headshots (inclusive of chase shots) which give more points per shot, require the player to link combo (the 9th hit and above give the maximum amount of points per hit) for most missions and require all or mostly no-miss hits to earn bonus points (Time Crisis II and 3 only).

[@WheeledHamster]

Yea I don't know what those four numbers under the title do, which one is responsible for what action, like how do I make the shoot go up or left?

[@FamilyTeamGaming]

Four Numbers?

[@WheeledHamster]

How can I set this up with a mouse, the cursor to calibrate does not appear. It works for Time Crisis 2 & 3 but with this game the cursor doesn't show up and I cannot get into the game.

[@Barrysteakfries1943]

If Crisis Zone Had 2Player, these Allied (STF) Would Be Player 2 (Mcgarren is player 1)

[@ace5566]

Thanks for this video. I am going to update the Time Crisis Wiki which so far only has the special and extra weapons on normal difficulty with the exception of the Gatling Gun on hard difficulty.

You're welcome, I'm glad it's useful.
