I remember when I was a kid, I spent $20 in a single day at this tiny arcade at a water park playing Time Crisis with some kid I had never met before. Had a great time. My Mom gave me a $20 I guess assuming I would use my $5 at the arcade but I just turned the entire thing into quarters and went to town.
Me and a random other kid back in the day beat Time Crisis 2 together, and we ended up becoming friends over that game. Unfortunately, he moved out of state before the internet ever became a big thing and I never heard anything else from him. Arcades were magical.
I did the same thing with The Simpsons arcade game. Me and a couple of random kids plunked down god knows how much money to beat that game. Loads of fun.
I have a similar story except my mom yelled at me for spending all $20 on Time Crisis 2...I got to the very end and ran out of quarters...totally worth it anyways 😆
Time Crisis is a classic. I honestly want it to keep going on forever. I get overjoyed when I go into an arcade and see a new TC game with new lore - and it's usually insane.
Time Crisis seems to become dormant series, for consoles at least. Time Crisis 5 seems to be the only game that has not been ported for any consoles at all, which is a shame, I want to try that game out but not a single arcade place in my area holds a cabinet to play. But like you, I want that series to continue, even though coming up with new features can become tough as it's become a staple with the new entry that there is a new function for the game. TC2 - Co-op Gameplay and using enemy machine guns, TC3 - Multi-weapon system, TC4 - In-game dialog and multi-screen battles(first seen in TC: Project Titan), and TC5 - Multi-pedal cover system. What would Time Crisis 6 bring to the table?
@Stefano Pavone likely a rush job just so they could release the game in time for launch line-up games i'm assuming (or probably didn't give two shits and didn't hire a more better translator at the time)
@Stefano Pavone So nothing official then which means it doesn't exist......Buying things from randoms on the internet is just as gross as buying 3rd party controllers
If you're at all handy there's a diy project called Gun4Ir which has much better accuracy then the Sinden. It basically repurposes a wiimote sensor with 4 tracking points instead of the Wii sensor bar which fixes all of the Wii's tracking issues and doesn't require an overlay like the Sinden. Because it's diy you can build a cheapo basic gun or a fully decked out arcade replica with solenoid force feedback.
Time Crisis plot is similar to Resident Evil 4, a one man army try to rescue the kidnapped president's daughter and destroy their operation and escaped the island before it explodes.
Why do I get the feeling Ms. McPherson disappeared from the franchise early on? I didn't think that there were So many characters in such a repetitively simple series.
@Stefano Pavone Gonna need Time Crisis 6 with with up to four players where Rachael McPherson is trained by Alicia Winston at V.S.S.E. and teams up with Alicia, William Rush, and Alan Dunaway in a final takedown against the infamous Wild Dog, the man that kidnapped Rachel after Sherudo's death at the hands of Richard in the original game.
@@RGBtheRhinoOverwatcher maybe in Time Crisis 6, where the future year takes place in new location/region, VSSE sends 3 agents this time to take on new mission
I actually liked Time Crisis 3 the best of the series. It felt the most polished to me, especially when the arcade cabinets were well maintained enough to have calibrated light guns AND working recoil on the light guns. The fact that enemies had 3 hits' worth of "tangibility" (you could shoot them 3 times before they disappeared) but only 1 shot was necessary to kill the basic guys also gave you a good way to chain combos and get a lot of points. I think that feature was in earlier games, but it felt really well implemented here and the animations on the enemies when they were shot felt helpful for telling how many times they'd been hit. I do agree that it was pretty hard - that final area always ran me through a couple quarters. But after many times playing through Time Crisis 3, I got to the point where I had memorized enemy appearance patterns and only the bosses ever really hit me. It was a lot of fun.
going to an arcade where they actually calibrated the lightguns properly was godlike. i feel like alot of the people running those places didn't know or care how to do it
Out of all of them: Time Crisis 3 will always be my favourite - First one I ever played - Probably used about £50 just playing the game over and over. Eventually bought the game but sadly, don't have a PS2 and I don't know where the game is, same as Time Crisis: Razing Storm.
Awww man, the memories! When I was a young guy, my mom would take me with her when she went to her bowling league (casual thing for fun) and I remember begging her and all her friends for change so I could play Time crisis in the arcade inside the place. It got to the point that if there were other kids around, we would form into roving gangs looking for change. Whenever we got enough for a few more games, we would yell to each other "ACTION!", across the bowling alley. I wish there was a way to tell you were in the good old days, before you've left them.
@@TheZackofSpades It's definately bad localization, also did I miss it or does he mention that Wild Dog (And Robert Baxter) in the first two games is voiced by the same guy who voices Chris Redfield in the OG Resident Evil? I believe he passed away a few years ago.
@@TheZackofSpades A thing with translation and localisation is that you not only have to translate the meaning of the original dialogue but you also have to reasonably stick to the original length as well, so while the original Japanese may have been something along the lines of "Don't come any closer" (which makes sense because it's warning the player of a trap) that would have likely made the sentence too long and so would have to be squashed down to the unfortunately double meaning laden "Don't come" (not to mention that a non native speaker may not necessarily pick up on puns and double meanings like that). Of course, the same length and meaning could have been achieved with the phrase "Stay back" but that is the difference between a very comprehensive translation and one that may have been done in a bit of a hurry (which is likely the case).
When i was around 5 yo, me and my father were playing the first time crisis and didn't even realize that the arcade were about to close. We were playing with the staff watching us and all the other games turned off and only time crisis is on
Sounds like you want to imply that the staff were all gathered around, watching a father and son play their last game of the night together before everyone packs up and goes home, but in reality I bet you guys were those rude customers who come in close to closing time (or came in earlier but have stayed well past closing) and don't even care in the slightest that everyone is waiting for you to finish up already so they can clock out and finally get off work.
@@kzym Don't listen to that jackass, I guarantee you the staff loved watching y'all play. Kind of a heartwarming moment. The most they'd have to hang around is like what, 10 minutes? Hardly an issue.
@@butwhataboutdragons7768 no they don't enjoy watching you. That'd be creepy af and might lead to a law suit. I worked at Chuck E Cheese bro those types of customers that won't leave are rude af. There is so much after closing shit to do that often can't happen until all customers are gone. I've had my shifts drag on over an hour because of this
You might've missed this detail in Time Crisis 1. In the First Boss which is the Gold Ninja. Depending on where you land the 3rd hit against him will affect the defeat scene. If the final shot hits while he's jumping from column to column. The death scene will show him falling down from mid-air. If he is on the floor. He just dramatically drops on his back. Cool detail from an Arcade Game.😊
The MVP of these games were the pedals of the arcade cabinets taking so many hits and always working. I remember seeing people jumping on them with all the force they had.
Yeah, I don't know what Namco engineering guys did but it's practically sorcery with how much punishment they can take and still working. If only the gun sensor are that long-lasting though.
I've always loved to play this series in the arcades with my RL friend, and yes, we were both lucky enough to find all of the arcade cabinets and played each of them from start to finish.
@@MusicHackersOfficial Oh, that's... something. I definitely would have clinged on to keeping that Time Crisis 3 arcade on my house forever as it is one of my favorite video games of all time, and one of my favorite arcades of all time (alongside Star Wars Trilogy Arcade).
There is one thing about TC2 which made it easier to play than subsequent entries - there is no "cooldown" time between every shot, which means the pistol can fire as fast as your finger can pull the trigger.
One of the most iconic sounds from my childhood is that “ACTION” call-out, my lord does that bring back some memories from being in primary school and going to places where they had arcades and everywhere had a time crisis, and watching the pros play was so amazing 😍
@@VSSEDragon3 Play Mechanix of Big Buck Hunter capitalize on this to make a similar game titled Johnny Nero Action Hero, starring Johnny Nero the comic book action hero who, stop the evil alien race in Space Wars, defeating mummies to receive the lost jewel of Amon-Ra in The Curse of the Mummy King, and wipe out wild west zombies/ghosts to earn money in Ghost Town, it had Guns of Fury feature two guns on one player.
@@thegreatstoneddragon9432 ICE's Johnny Nero Action Hero had similar gameplay elements as this but it parodies Starship Troopers, The Mummy, and Unforgiven.
As a super duper major fan of the time crisis series, being obsessed with this when I first came across the time crisis 2 cabinet at a local, I think you absolutely did this series justice, it's quite clear you have a lot of love as well for this series, and its always great to see other fans out. This game series is just one of those ones that greatly impacted my gaming life and I just absolutely can't imagine what life would be like if it never existed. One of those game series that induces a lot of nostalgia and emotion every time I see it. Very few series have reached up my list like this one.
Okay ngl that intro was freakin cool, also would you mind talking about a Time Crisis spinoff called Cobra The Arcade?, its an arcade shooter that is pretty much a Time Crisis game in all but name since its instead based on the classic sci fi anime Space Adventure Cobra (which btw you should really watch), granted there is no console port and emulation for the game is still not possible so you unfortunately will have to get your hands on the actual arcade game which is very sad.
I can't believe you didn't mention the extra modes in Time Crisis 4: First off there was the 'Complete Mission' which included extra levels where you played as Captain Rush, with standard FPS controls (the reason why the GunCon 3 has that awkward controller sticking out of it) though you still needed to aim and fire at enemies manually. These levels included a boss fight with Wild Fang, who had a robotic leg and some sort of wolf-based, magic powers. Then there was the 'Crisis Missions' where you played as a rookie VSSE agent going through various trials. This culminates in a boss fight with the main characters, Giorgio and Evan (as part of the training) followed immediately by a boss fight with Wild Dog... who turns out to be Richard Miller from the first game in disguise, who wanted to observe and test the new recruits himself. Also I still own my GunCon 3, including the sensors and a copy of the game (I'm from the UK but I have a US copy, so I couldn't trade it in). But after watching this video I might stick it on eBay, though it's definitely not in pristine condition lol
Thanks for this! I’ve always been curious about the extra features in the home release of TC4 but never got my hands on one (nor will I with that price tag). Really glad that Wild Fang gets a return.
That along with the extra missions in Time Crisis 3, Crisis Zone, and Razing Storm also. That being even if the F.P.S. modes in R.S., and 4 were nothing to write home about, and never really bothered playing too.
I would love it if this not only is a remaster but also includes the Namco arcade gun. I genuinely want the specific kick back of the gun. It feels quite awesome.
Went to the beach with the Mrs and the outlaws years ago when you could still find Time Crisis cabinets in arcades. The father in law didnt expect me to beat the game from start to finish, best quid I ever spent. He was quick to move us along when I spotted the sequel cabinet a few doors down 🤣 fuck I'm getting old.
Man, arcades were awesome. This and afterburner, house of the dead, Daytona.... sigh. I’ve gotta take my son and find a TC2 cabinet to show him how awesome a day of light guns and ice cream was.
Oh how we took everything for granted when we were kids...now it's so hard to find an arcade shop let alone one without new crappy money sucking bore-fests.
@@dreamingthelife Rachel McPherson: (screams) AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! Wild Dog: (to Richard) How could you? You killed my boss! What do I do now? I can't let things end this way! Since I have the upper hand, having the girl and all...I'll press my luck. You wait here. (laughs evilly)
Shoutout to this man being one of the only consistent gametubers. He's also old school at that, giving you full, long reviews, on one title or series. Takes me back to youtube before it got railed in the anus
I have always been more of house of the dead guy, but here in Indonesia Time Crisis is basically the twin-king of arcade rail shooter alongside HotD. you can basically expect either of the two being the main shooter cabinet in arcade places here, so I have profound respect to the series.
Time Crisis 1, Time Crisis 3 and Time Crisis 4 are my absolute favorites. Time Crisis 2 and Time Crisis 5 would've both been included imo but after what they did to Keith Martin and Robert Baxter in Time Crisis 5, I haven't looked back at Time Crisis 2 the same again.
Light gun games should make a comeback. The Ghost Squad game (the one that had the full sized rifles with the selective fire and a trigger on the foregrip), House of the Dead, even the Terminator and Alien cabinets were amazing games. Even if they pulled an Arcade 1-Up and offered a more miniaturized cabinet like those that you can buy in Walmart
My brother bought me the home version of Time Crisis for PS1 for Christmas 1998 and it is by far one of the best gifts I ever received. I had already sunk tons of money into the arcade version (and finally beaten it at one point), so this was a welcome relief to my budget! My cousin and I played it frequently and always got a laugh whenever Richard punched the first boss in the face after beating him, and adding our own commentary by saying, "Quiet You!" whenever he did so! Great times. I still maintain my old PS1 and a CRT television purely for the ability to play this game, but I would love a remastered version that allowed my to stop doing so, because lugging this HUGE television around whenever I move to a new home is getting to be downright painful. Thanks for the great video and stay safe out there!
Man, this REALLY took me back. I forgot how many times I had actually played Time Crisis on my PS1 and TC2 at the arcade, hearing all this music and dialog again was a trip, especially the Results theme after each chapter. Kudos, for this one Gman, definitely one of my favorite videos you've done! Keep up the excellent work my friend.
I remember back in the day that the owner of the Arcade in my town will give you a badge saying "Living Legend" if you beated Time Crisis or the House of the Dead with one coin, plus putting your name in the Arcade's main hall... man, how i miss that Arcade, too bad it closed when consoles became a thing.
It's worth noting that the special thing about TC1 is that it's the only game in which time matters. You only get one timer that consistently ticks down the entire game. Every other game in the series gives you a fixed timer of 40 seconds that always restarts, so it's impossible to run out of time. Also, TC1 has a ton of secrets, like that one guy with the stick before stage two's boss, if you let him walk away, the explosion on the bridge will take him out for you.
Anyone other than me remember the light gun shooter, Ghost Squad? The Wii port was great and had all kinds of crazy alternate modes, like making all the guns into water guns and the bad guys were decked out with scuba gear and vacationer clothes. What a stupid and fun game.
Oh I do remember that game too and played the arcade version of it. (Evolution, which unlocks everything like all weapons from get go) Did try the port too once on a friend's wii, and yes, they have alternate modes. Think the one I played was the one where everything is Ninja related.
I do remember too, getting it from a bargain bin for 10 dollars, and achieving level 99 at the end of a four month grind. The unlocks made it worth it, though. Especially the XMW21.
I really enjoyed playing the arcade version of Time Crisis 3 during my short-lived college life, i especially enjoyed inserting coins for both sides so i can dual wield because i like playing this stuff like a maniac.
It's a miracle Time Crisis even made it to the 5th iteration, but with how the arcade is in decline even within Japan itself, I think it's safe the say the series has come to a unfortunate end. I mean, just look at the timeline, a 9 year gap between 4 and 5, and it's almost 6 years since 5 and not a peep
@@VSSEDragon3 Ever heard of Johnny Nero Action Hero? It's a decent gun game made by developer of Big Buck Hunter but not as great as this, and even combines this, Virtua Cop, and TimeSplitters with comic book tone and pop-culture references/homages to 80s/90s action films plus comics like Spider-Man.
Was able to go to an arcade last month and they had a time crisis 4 cabinet, had been years since I played and had a blast. This series is legendary and deserves some more games.
Only ever played the arcade cabinets (not even sure which ones I was playing everytime) I just know it's on my bucket list of things I want in my man cave. A fully working time crisis cabinet with working foot pedal and light guns.
Damn, you made me actually remember Vampire Night and Ninja Assault! I had such a great time with those games as well. Personally Ghoul Panic was maybe my favorite light gun game in the arcade. But in the Time Crisis series alone, I spent so much money on credits on both Time Crisis 2 and Crisis Zone, to maybe buy an arcade machine for both of those game. Great series review my dude!
I remember playing the 2nd game at Playdium, actually beat the game as 2 players with some other kid. We high fives at the end and went to play other arcade games. Still remember them good times.
I think they are going to give Robert the Mad Dog treatment so they can expand on the lore behind Robert's betrayal of VSSE in Time Crisis 6 after all if there is no body, you can't be sure
When I was a kid, I used to imitate that scene in Time Crisis where the player character recieved their briefing to rescue the kidnapped President's daughter and closed their laptop, then drew out their gun. I thought it was super cool.
I was one of those kids that would spend an entire dollar so I could dual wield both guns at the arcade. Of course only when no one else was trying to play. Back then we had something called Arcade Etiquette. It was important
@@VSSEDragon3 In Street Fighter II, but I yell not Cammy from SFII, but CATHYYYYYY!!!!!! Catherine, the TC5 character that she serves as a dispatcher for Robert Baxter, Luke O'Neil, and Marc Godart during the events of the fifth game lol.
You know I was always under the impression that this series was inspired by Hardboiled, particularly the hallway scene. Also Wild Dog feels like a take on Mad Dog.
In the PS1 Special mode, it wasn't just the time you had to deal with, there were certain other conditions. For example in one stage you have to kill all fleeing orange soldiers to access the top final stage, in another you had to blow up a crane control room or not, failing to do so sending you straight to the final stage (yep, skipping to the lowest final stage for screwing up). The final stages all had good and bad endings, The top and bottom final stages were based on your ability to unload bullets into a fleeing transport and you had to do a certain ammount in a short space of time (3 clips if you are on the top and it is VERY tight in timing), the middle final stage was purely based on how long you took to clear the boss.
I remember I played the first Time Crisis so much in the arcade I could comple the entire game on a single credit. My initials were from 1st to 20 place.
I love the time crisis series. They always caught my eye in the arcade. I could always depend on a time crisis cabinet to give me real fun in exchange for my coins or tokens.
That intro... *chef's kiss* Also: YAAAAAAS Time Crisis retrospective! What a great series. I loved TC2 so much that I *still* have the official soundtrack. EDIT Oh, and how to play new lightgun games? VR. Get on it, NamcoBandai!
gözlerim yaşardı yalnızım sanıyordum. Millet ps5 pesindeyken ben tuplu televizyon patlatıp duruyorum ps1 ve 2 hala canavar gibi çalışıyor. geçen ikinci guncon-45 imi aldım ps2 de iki kişi oynama fırsatı buldum çok keyifliydi.
I know you won't reading this anymore but there's one spin off that Namco also made that's actually based on a manga and TV series called Cobra The Arcade. It combines everything from time crisis, scoring system of virtua cop, and boss rush from the house of the dead 2. It has a weapon system called psycho gun which actually a really cool gimmick. Also I think this is the first time crisis game that has upgrades and saving data mechanics to unlock some other modes in the game.
The moment you got to time crisis 4 memories of being in a theater and playing it while waiting for the showing flooded my mind. I’m pretty sure that cabinet in that theater is gone now, replaced with the aliens or terminator one, but this has a place in my heart.
I would totally buy a remastered Time Crisis Game for VR in an instant.

It got to the point that if there were other kids around, we would form into roving gangs looking for change. Whenever we got enough for a few more games, we would yell to each other "ACTION!", across the bowling alley.
I wish there was a way to tell you were in the good old days, before you've left them.
This goes on forever
There is a rundown movie theater by my granpas house. I go every Sunday and play Time Crisis 2 and pass the game with one dollar. that is right lads
the fact that "don't come!" is one of the most used and best voice lines for these gun games from the 90s still tickles me even today
I still randomly say that all the time, with the same stiff inflection as the characters in the games
I had head canon that it was a bad Japanese localization of “go away” but that makes 0 sense
@@TheZackofSpades It's definately bad localization, also did I miss it or does he mention that Wild Dog (And Robert Baxter) in the first two games is voiced by the same guy who voices Chris Redfield in the OG Resident Evil? I believe he passed away a few years ago.
@@geedee1264 oh really??? Damn RIP
@@TheZackofSpades A thing with translation and localisation is that you not only have to translate the meaning of the original dialogue but you also have to reasonably stick to the original length as well, so while the original Japanese may have been something along the lines of "Don't come any closer" (which makes sense because it's warning the player of a trap) that would have likely made the sentence too long and so would have to be squashed down to the unfortunately double meaning laden "Don't come" (not to mention that a non native speaker may not necessarily pick up on puns and double meanings like that).
Of course, the same length and meaning could have been achieved with the phrase "Stay back" but that is the difference between a very comprehensive translation and one that may have been done in a bit of a hurry (which is likely the case).
When i was around 5 yo, me and my father were playing the first time crisis and didn't even realize that the arcade were about to close. We were playing with the staff watching us and all the other games turned off and only time crisis is on
Sounds like you want to imply that the staff were all gathered around, watching a father and son play their last game of the night together before everyone packs up and goes home, but in reality I bet you guys were those rude customers who come in close to closing time (or came in earlier but have stayed well past closing) and don't even care in the slightest that everyone is waiting for you to finish up already so they can clock out and finally get off work.

You might've missed this detail in Time Crisis 1.
In the First Boss which is the Gold Ninja. Depending on where you land the 3rd hit against him will affect the defeat scene.
If the final shot hits while he's jumping from column to column. The death scene will show him falling down from mid-air.
If he is on the floor. He just dramatically drops on his back.
Cool detail from an Arcade Game.😊
The MVP of these games were the pedals of the arcade cabinets taking so many hits and always working. I remember seeing people jumping on them with all the force they had.
Happy 28th anniversary Time Crisis series
Yeah, I don't know what Namco engineering guys did but it's practically sorcery with how much punishment they can take and still working.
If only the gun sensor are that long-lasting though.
I've always loved to play this series in the arcades with my RL friend, and yes, we were both lucky enough to find all of the arcade cabinets and played each of them from start to finish.
That's so awesome. I bet you guys had an absolute blast 👍🏻

As a super duper major fan of the time crisis series, being obsessed with this when I first came across the time crisis 2 cabinet at a local, I think you absolutely did this series justice, it's quite clear you have a lot of love as well for this series, and its always great to see other fans out.
This game series is just one of those ones that greatly impacted my gaming life and I just absolutely can't imagine what life would be like if it never existed.
One of those game series that induces a lot of nostalgia and emotion every time I see it. Very few series have reached up my list like this one.
Sweet and awesome
Okay ngl that intro was freakin cool, also would you mind talking about a Time Crisis spinoff called Cobra The Arcade?, its an arcade shooter that is pretty much a Time Crisis game in all but name since its instead based on the classic sci fi anime Space Adventure Cobra (which btw you should really watch), granted there is no console port and emulation for the game is still not possible so you unfortunately will have to get your hands on the actual arcade game which is very sad.
It is
oh dear god, time crisis 3 was my jam back on the ps2 and time crisis 4 in the arcade
I can't believe you didn't mention the extra modes in Time Crisis 4:
First off there was the 'Complete Mission' which included extra levels where you played as Captain Rush, with standard FPS controls (the reason why the GunCon 3 has that awkward controller sticking out of it) though you still needed to aim and fire at enemies manually. These levels included a boss fight with Wild Fang, who had a robotic leg and some sort of wolf-based, magic powers.
Then there was the 'Crisis Missions' where you played as a rookie VSSE agent going through various trials. This culminates in a boss fight with the main characters, Giorgio and Evan (as part of the training) followed immediately by a boss fight with Wild Dog... who turns out to be Richard Miller from the first game in disguise, who wanted to observe and test the new recruits himself.
Also I still own my GunCon 3, including the sensors and a copy of the game (I'm from the UK but I have a US copy, so I couldn't trade it in). But after watching this video I might stick it on eBay, though it's definitely not in pristine condition lol
now i want to see this. Gman please!
Thanks for this! I’ve always been curious about the extra features in the home release of TC4 but never got my hands on one (nor will I with that price tag). Really glad that Wild Fang gets a return.
That along with the extra missions in Time Crisis 3, Crisis Zone, and Razing Storm also. That being even if the F.P.S. modes in R.S., and 4 were nothing to write home about, and never really bothered playing too.
I remembered Crisis Missions backstories feat. VSSE Trainee as a new character in the future
I would love it if this not only is a remaster but also includes the Namco arcade gun. I genuinely want the specific kick back of the gun. It feels quite awesome.
The intro gave me chills holy shit the transition
I’m glad someone finally talked about one of the best long running series ever
Good news 📰, Time Crisis 6 will be developed alongside with PSVR2, getting a new trademark ™️ in 2023
Went to the beach with the Mrs and the outlaws years ago when you could still find Time Crisis cabinets in arcades. The father in law didnt expect me to beat the game from start to finish, best quid I ever spent. He was quick to move us along when I spotted the sequel cabinet a few doors down 🤣 fuck I'm getting old.
Man, arcades were awesome. This and afterburner, house of the dead, Daytona.... sigh. I’ve gotta take my son and find a TC2 cabinet to show him how awesome a day of light guns and ice cream was.
Oh how we took everything for granted when we were kids...now it's so hard to find an arcade shop let alone one without new crappy money sucking bore-fests.

I have always been more of house of the dead guy, but here in Indonesia Time Crisis is basically the twin-king of arcade rail shooter alongside HotD. you can basically expect either of the two being the main shooter cabinet in arcade places here, so I have profound respect to the series.
Same here
Time Crisis 1, Time Crisis 3 and Time Crisis 4 are my absolute favorites. Time Crisis 2 and Time Crisis 5 would've both been included imo but after what they did to Keith Martin and Robert Baxter in Time Crisis 5, I haven't looked back at Time Crisis 2 the same again.
can't wait for the upcoming Time Crisis remakes series and Time Crisis 6 in the future
Light gun games should make a comeback. The Ghost Squad game (the one that had the full sized rifles with the selective fire and a trigger on the foregrip), House of the Dead, even the Terminator and Alien cabinets were amazing games. Even if they pulled an Arcade 1-Up and offered a more miniaturized cabinet like those that you can buy in Walmart

My brother bought me the home version of Time Crisis for PS1 for Christmas 1998 and it is by far one of the best gifts I ever received. I had already sunk tons of money into the arcade version (and finally beaten it at one point), so this was a welcome relief to my budget! My cousin and I played it frequently and always got a laugh whenever Richard punched the first boss in the face after beating him, and adding our own commentary by saying, "Quiet You!" whenever he did so! Great times. I still maintain my old PS1 and a CRT television purely for the ability to play this game, but I would love a remastered version that allowed my to stop doing so, because lugging this HUGE television around whenever I move to a new home is getting to be downright painful. Thanks for the great video and stay safe out there!

Man, this REALLY took me back. I forgot how many times I had actually played Time Crisis on my PS1 and TC2 at the arcade, hearing all this music and dialog again was a trip, especially the Results theme after each chapter.
Kudos, for this one Gman, definitely one of my favorite videos you've done! Keep up the excellent work my friend.
I remember back in the day that the owner of the Arcade in my town will give you a badge saying "Living Legend" if you beated Time Crisis or the House of the Dead with one coin, plus putting your name in the Arcade's main hall... man, how i miss that Arcade, too bad it closed when consoles became a thing.
Or Resident Evil Code Veronica arcade
It's worth noting that the special thing about TC1 is that it's the only game in which time matters. You only get one timer that consistently ticks down the entire game. Every other game in the series gives you a fixed timer of 40 seconds that always restarts, so it's impossible to run out of time. Also, TC1 has a ton of secrets, like that one guy with the stick before stage two's boss, if you let him walk away, the explosion on the bridge will take him out for you.
How do the leaderboards work in TC1 ? Is there only one that you must finish the game to qualify ?
@@petermacnab1871 There's an overall, and one for each stage.

Anyone other than me remember the light gun shooter, Ghost Squad?
The Wii port was great and had all kinds of crazy alternate modes, like making all the guns into water guns and the bad guys were decked out with scuba gear and vacationer clothes. What a stupid and fun game.
Oh I do remember that game too and played the arcade version of it. (Evolution, which unlocks everything like all weapons from get go) Did try the port too once on a friend's wii, and yes, they have alternate modes.
Think the one I played was the one where everything is Ninja related.
Ghost Squad is by far my favorite light gun game. Just a shame I only ever found a real cabinet once or twice.
I do remember too, getting it from a bargain bin for 10 dollars, and achieving level 99 at the end of a four month grind. The unlocks made it worth it, though. Especially the XMW21.
@@FacelessWaifu Wild Dog calls Georgio and Evan "A bunch of annoying little flies..." lmao.
I really enjoyed playing the arcade version of Time Crisis 3 during my short-lived college life, i especially enjoyed inserting coins for both sides so i can dual wield because i like playing this stuff like a maniac.
Wait, what? Dual wielding in HOTD or Virtua Cop is cool because it's on the same screen. But Time Crisis? with multiple screen? that's mind blowing
It's a miracle Time Crisis even made it to the 5th iteration, but with how the arcade is in decline even within Japan itself, I think it's safe the say the series has come to a unfortunate end. I mean, just look at the timeline, a 9 year gap between 4 and 5, and it's almost 6 years since 5 and not a peep
Totally agree with this
@@VSSEDragon3 Ever heard of Johnny Nero Action Hero? It's a decent gun game made by developer of Big Buck Hunter but not as great as this, and even combines this, Virtua Cop, and TimeSplitters with comic book tone and pop-culture references/homages to 80s/90s action films plus comics like Spider-Man.
Imagine a VR virtual arcade where we can grab vr light guns and play these games legit!
I cant imagine playing this game. Just watching it gives me a pounding headache from the flashes every 2 seconds
It's not easy when you have sensitivity towards flashes.
Was able to go to an arcade last month and they had a time crisis 4 cabinet, had been years since I played and had a blast. This series is legendary and deserves some more games.

When I was a kid, I used to imitate that scene in Time Crisis where the player character recieved their briefing to rescue the kidnapped President's daughter and closed their laptop, then drew out their gun. I thought it was super cool.

In the PS1 Special mode, it wasn't just the time you had to deal with, there were certain other conditions. For example in one stage you have to kill all fleeing orange soldiers to access the top final stage, in another you had to blow up a crane control room or not, failing to do so sending you straight to the final stage (yep, skipping to the lowest final stage for screwing up). The final stages all had good and bad endings, The top and bottom final stages were based on your ability to unload bullets into a fleeing transport and you had to do a certain ammount in a short space of time (3 clips if you are on the top and it is VERY tight in timing), the middle final stage was purely based on how long you took to clear the boss.
