Such a large distance from the server kill all online vs. possibility. But even there is a States version, it the same to me, since I am not in either Japan nor the States.... :(

Its looking even more like it will be the last DC game now, Sega have updated Sega Direct with 4 refurb DC and game sets (looks like an effort to clear stock):

http://segadirect.jp/Catalog/CustomPage ... =dcset.htm

DC set + Trizeal 9000yen
DC set + Chaos Field 7000yen
DC set + Radirgy 10000
DC set + Under Defeat LE 12000yen

Is it an honor thing for the Japanese? Maybe they're being pressured to end its life by Sony/Nintendo before PS2/GC.

I'd rather get my ass kicked by a good player and learn from them instead of kicking everyone's ass and not learning anything.

Hopefully they'll have a replay feature so if the lag is really bad, I can at least try to figure out what I did wrong.

Now THAT would be "stupidity X 1000".

Nintendo and Sony don't have the DC on the radar anymore (seriously, anyone believing THAT should have their brains replaced).

And even if (in he ost unlikely case) that'd be the case then Sega may just as well NOT comply with the "demands" as they'd get a personal revenge against both Sony and Nintendo.
Sega's honor (or what's left of it... ;)) would be a stake too.

I SERIOUSLY doubt the seriousness of you post, bt felt the need to reply anyway...

I think that's what I'd seen mentioned somewhere around here.
Thanks for the info.

Doesn't sound good to me, but no reason to judge before I play it myself.

Out of interest. Play-asia have the LE for $79.90 and have it listed as just the game+OST, whereas Liksang have the LE listed for $79.90 and including the game, OST, poster and sticker. Has one of them made a mistake in their listing?

LE + OST + poster + sticker is the Sega Direct version.

The price is right, but I don't know whether Lik Sang will be able to sell the Sega Direct version. Maybe better to ask them just to be sure.

Ya know I could be nuts, but does anyone else think Under Defeat looks like a Cave game?

Or rather a Cave game in 3D, the same way ZG2 looked like trademark Psyiko art rendered in 3D.

UD uses a Cave composer, has a heavily stylized female cast, isometric looking play field (owing more to Ray Force but you get my point), and has some excellent design/ texture work. The game isn't maniac but that's probably due to the camera more than anything.


BTW, on Grev's main page they've reduced the size of Under Defeat's logo on the arcade listings, perhaps they'll be announcing a new game for the top billing soon? *-neo

Cave composer? Shinji Hosoe may have composed for Ibara and done arranged tracks on several Cave OSTs, but he's about as freelance as they come.

Ok, a composer that worked on a CAVE GAME. I know the guy worked for several publishers but didn't think massive clarrification was needed. *-neo

Well you have to acustom with your shoot trajectory. And enemy shoots would first fly up to the save altitude level with you and then fly along the screen. These shoots on the process of flying up couldn't hurt you. In 2nd Loop you are forced to use this to aviod being hit...

That's the only complain, I like burst them up.

Sorry, no. I don't work for Lik Sang.

If you're after the Sega Direct version maybe you should order through Segagaga Domain. I think he will definitely have them.

Yakumo from Segagaga Domain would be a good place to order this from. I ordered Radilgy from him and was very pleased with his service. The game arrived extremely well packaged (came in what I can only describe as hardcase tupperware sealed with NASA certified industrial strength tape :) ), arrived very fast and last but not least it's much more import duty friendly than PA, YA, Lik-Sang or any of the commercial places that have this game for sale.

Though I doubt it, does anyone have an idea of how the poster will come packaged with the Segadirect edition?

I grabbed my pre order a while back. It's the regular version though, as I wasn't up for paying nearly $90 for a few extra goodies (namely because I didn't HAVE $90).

I agree! It reminds of a little of Zero Gunner 2's OST, but with a little more techno sound to it. I love it.

If it's anything like any other Sega Direct edition, everything will come in a large box (as long as the poster).

If I'm able to pay off my dues, and save about $70, then I'm able to purchase the game.

But where should I order the game when it comes out?

Yesasia
Playasia
or NCSX (which I might do because they're located in the US)

I've got mine pre-ordered through NCSX.
I'd go with them if you want it delivered quickly.

I herd it plays imports perfectly.

I use Utopia v 1.3, and it works fine for me, though, as Neon's already alluded to, it's not the only choice, though I know nothing about which is considered "best" in this field.
