Well i respect your opinion. But clearly I'm interested and exited about this light gun. Because it promises to work on any screen. I mean after trying the emulate mouse using a ps3 camera and a laser. I can say the accuracy and response time are extremely good, much much better than any wiimote or aimtrak or the psmove. The only downside if find with the ps3 camera it only works 100% perfect with a projector but no so good with an lcd screen. And just to say i find also pretty nice the sinden gun but still the border on the screen is a bit too big i think it can be distracting perhaps if the sinden gun uses a 4 ir led on the borders of the tv will be more appealing for me. |

Well I have no input on the Mars but in regards to the Sinden: The design in influenced by real hand guns, That was one of the reasons Andy approached me as I used to do lots of pistol shooting so could offer some “real” input on the gun but keeping in mind it is a toy lol. So I made some suggestions regarding the grip and sights so you could point it like a real pistol. Someone else had suggested the weaver rail but he was unaware what that was for previously (assumed it was a looks thing) but once I explained what it was and what it could be used for he looked into actually using it which I thought was pretty cool heh. No idea if it will be to the real spec but it would be cool as hell to mount a red dot on it or something lol As for the border it really is not distracting, once you start playing a game you dont even acknowledge it is there. It also depends on the environment how wide it needs to be. It does not need to be a 1” thick border as some have suggested, When I was playing it was probably closer to 10mm and possibly could of made it smaller but did not bother. |

I thought I was the only one as everyone else I spoke to seemed to think the white border didn't matter. I dislike anything that changes the appearance of the original game, or the way that it's meant to be played. I know it needs the white border to determine position but I am trying to find out if it has to be on-screen to work, or if you could paint the bezel white, or add a white led strip around the periphery. Obviously that's not practical for a living room screen but it would be if you were building a custom shooting cab. The main thing for me is the accuracy and ability to stand at arcade-like distance from the screen instead of in another state like with current IR bar tech. But, that is just one part of it. The shell and recoil effect is almost as important. I'm an adult and I don't want to play with something that looks like a cheap toy. My nostalgia includes memories of being wowed by the recoil and realistic uzi on Operation Wolf as a kid. I wanted something like that ever since but, so far, every home like gun has missed the mark. The Mars is a large step in the wrong direction. The home light guns kids had in the 1970's look significantly better than anything released since: http://www.m-e-g-a.org/fake-wood/ |

After all that, it looks like the Mars gun doesn't even work with a PC. It only states support for the Xbox One and PS4 - the two systems with the worst catalog of light gun games in the modern era. Those 3 games it is released with won't cut it and not just because they are all terrible. What could they gain by not making it compatible with PC's and previous console gens... |

Totally agree with you. The reviews are out and it seems the Mars games lineup is below average. The gun's response itself is laggy apparently. Now all we need is someone to hack this gun ($29.99 btw) so we can run it on Windows or Raspberry Pi and improve its response time. I'm still waiting for the Sinden. I have a 100" projector all set up ready for some shooting action |
