This is probably the best part of the game – the controls. With the PS4 version we really wanted to bring the original arcade light gun feeling back without players having to buy extra accessories, so we decided to use the new gyroscope feature and the result was amazing. It takes only seconds to get used to and hours to master.

You basically point the controller and squeeze the trigger; you don’t ever have to use the joysticks. For all the gestures we are using the touch pad, which gives the opportunity for unique gameplay experience, depending on how you choose to hold and interact with the controller. It really works and is very addictive!

Why a rail shooter? The team felt nostalgic to the genre of light gun shooters and the gameplay inspirations came from old titles like Time Crisis, Virtua Cop and House of the Dead. With the next gen technologies from Sony we saw the opportunity of bringing this fun back to the Players.
