The light gun support in that PS1 RE game was removed because that was around the time of the Columbine shootings, and if you recall the media basically went insane trying to pin the blame on anything they could latch onto, from Marilyn Manson to violent media to, mainly, video game violence. A related casualty was the camera support in Perfect Dark (which hackers have been able to determine was actually pretty much complete). It's a shame though, because that sort of game is simply awful without light gun support.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
