Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

Why would anyone want to play these without a light gun...

That's what i've been thinking also.
You can buy lightguns easily and use on your PC or TV. The options exist.

Really? I thought those don't work on modern displays.
Yeah imo they should have focused in remastering the classic game for VR.

I remember playing this on Dreamcast as a little kid and having to do so when my parents weren't around. Good times. Like everyone else says, seriously needs a VR version. Would definitely pickup on Meta even though it's kinda mid.

With a mouse I guess isn't as bad, but with controller joysticks just sounds frustrating.I've only played them all my life with mouse pointers.. so yay me?
Also though if there's lightguns that work for modern tv's you should definitely get one!

Are there any ones that support Xbox Series consoles, especially when they're in dev mode and can run emulators?

Yeah and in the second one the zombies shine like christmas trees, there's fog just because and the puddle behind them looks like literal shit.

or TV??
Sinden needs Windows based software to run for tracking.
I’d say Retroshooter would probably be the most likely one, since it’s just seen like a mouse and doesn’t require any other software aside from a simple calibration tool that you can probably do without. Maybe Gun4IR too?
Apologies, should have said ‘monitor or TV’. I have a mini pc hooked up to my TV for lightgun games.

That is honestly the only thing I want to know about this remake. Did they keep the same voice, for that one sentence, as the original?
Won't buy either way, but I'm curious.

Even the way the zombies react to being shot looks so janky. The gore/blood effects look like someone's shooting with a red paintball gun mixed with strawberry jam! Sticking to my Dreamcast version! Now where's my Zombie Revenge remake?!?!

Should be in VR, but Sega has a long history of dumb decisions.
Also the charm of that clean classic Sega arcade look is gone. I’d rather play Typing of the Dead, over a Lightgun game with a controller.

The first remake works perfectly in VR with a mod.
I'm sure this will too, eventually.
I can't fucking wait: it's one of my most played games of all time. Arcade and Dreamcast both. Some of my best gaming memories ever.

Freshmen year of college I had this game on dreamcast, with 2 light guns and two controller extension cables.
It was a damn good time for a dorm room.

I wish Sega would create a team with veterans of their arcade design knowledge and experience, port their older library, and make newer arcade games for all platforms with VR versions.

Was not a great demo.
Despite the advanced graphics it's much less appealing visually with really ugly use of color, the gore appears lessened and the way the zombies bounce in the air when they die is comical. Shooting stuff in general feels strangely unsatisfying in this version.
And why replace the VA if you're going to have new VA that's still awful? It may even be bad on purpose this time, which ruins what was funny about the original VA.
Should mention they censored the kids by aging them up into young men but that's to be expected these days.

Its obvious this the game the original developers would have made if their werent held back by the technical limitations of the Dreamcast
