Bandai Namco has revealed a new Time Crisis game for arcades.
The new game, Time Crisis 5, is retaining the series mechanic of stepping on a pedal to take cover and reload, and adds a new, second pedal, which allows you to flank your enemies, provided that you press it at the right moments.
This will be invaluable when confronting enemies that have shields, an abundance in cover, or a broadly sweeping attack which prevents you from firing at them directly. You’ll also be able to switch between weapons by pressing the button on the side of your light gun, as well as throw grenades, and then some.
Time Crisis 5 is going to launch in Japanese arcades by March of next year, and it will come with three playable stages. By the end of next year, there will be at least twice the number of stages available for the game.
