Perhaps you need to turn your monitor brightness and/or contrast up a little.

And if so, I hope it's not the same monitor you use for shmupping.

I'd suggest first and foremost re-asking the same question as a new topic in the hardware forums, and secondly narrowing it down to a particular type (low res CRT, high res CRT, high res LCD, plasma, etc, etc).

The options they are nigh infinite.

Yeah, you do it in practice mode.

Yes, they're built in to the game. Just complete the game and they'll be availible when you go to load replays (They're marked "EXTRA")

FYI, I was digging around, and someone created CD sleeves for UD if you don't like the DVD case. Check it out:

One-credited the game, yesterday. Practicing the Level 3 boss was definitely the key.

I think you have to be playing in Practice to save a replay.

Where can i download gameplay vids to see the boss fight?
Go into practice mode and choose "load replay". there's videos of all the levels already there for you. After you beat the game you get some more replays demonstrating advanced techniques as well.

Oh,thank you.I`ll go try it now

I heard someone mention a second set of replays -- how are these unlocked?

stellarola · Post by **stellarola** » Sun Apr 02, 2006 8:01 pm

Whats the difference between easy, normal and hard mode. I played easy and normal and can't find a difference really. Know?

Just beating the game once will unlock them...

...which I finally did. You know it isn't just the last boss. The whole freakin' last level is hard. Don't know why the boss was giving me so much trouble before. Hell, you don't even really need the rocket...vulcan does fine damage shooting down that barrell.

Awesome.
I ordered it today. The LTD edition with the Dreamcast. Mine was getting really weary (first edition, jap) so I was happy to fork another $80 for a "refurbished" japanese dreamcast that comes with Under Defeat.
Though I don't know what that "refurbished" implies.
Do any of you know it?

CMoon · Post by **CMoon** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 12:29 am

Is it $80 for UD & the DC together?? Not a bad price though I have a speare DC in good condition I picked up from Gamestop for $15

It's a used one which has been inspected and, if necessary, repaired.

No, it's DC only. The bundle goes for 150$ on PA.

How do I unlock the galleries? I'm four hours into the game now, and I'm still stuck with the gallery that was available right from the start.

Fenrir · Post by **Fenrir** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 12:52 am

No, Under Defeat + a new DC costed me $168. My jap DC is really worn out and even though I know that $80 is quite a lot for a DC, at least it's totally brand new sealed, and that's what counts. I wasn't looking for another used DC - I've already got mine.
I have to know what "refurbished" means though :P

EDIT

DANG - I've just read benj's reply. How ironic, considering what I just wrote. On the pic they showed a nice package so I assumed it was new, with a controller and all the cables. I'm going to be really disappointed (read mad like a cow) if I get an unboxed console and that's it)

*mutters*

benj · Post by **benj** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 12:59 am

The deal isn't that bad. After all you get the Segadirect LE of UD, which alone costs about a 100$(at least at PA).

It's boxed. Just refurbished and repackaged. As long as it isn't yellowed, it'd pretty much be like new.

fenrir, could you please tell me where you ordered the refurbished Dreamcast from ?

My copy arrived today. I'm not a big fan of Border Down at all, but this title is superb. Money well spent. It's going to be a highly unproductive week.

I'd heard folks complain about the strange perspective, but to be honest I really like it.

Actually this is the first shmup with an 'into the screen' perspective that I've really dug. Definitely works well, and a superb game overall.

My LE is here, with a sticker :]

I'll play it a bit later today. To be honest I've barely even touched Radilgy since I've been going nuts with beatmania & GuitarFreaks...

I got an Okami sticker with mine. Anyone want to buy it? $100 shipped.

louisg · Post by **louisg** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 11:08 pm

So, anyone have maybe a less dangerous way to beat the final boss than the one featured on the replay? Mostly a way to defeat his vulcans and that central cannon that fires the shots splashing outwards-- the video shows the player going between individual vulcan shots and then actually bothering to dodge the center cannon (this is all in the part before the gun turns around).. is there perhaps a way to destroy the central gun first and then stay between the two vulcan shots?

I got an Under Defeat sticker and an Okami sticker. Muhahahaha.

I'm a bit surprised to see all this talk of taking on the final boss though. This game is pretty challenging -- I haven't even faced the fourth boss yet.

I got a Under Defeat sticker AND an Okami sticker AND a Megaman sticker AND a $5 discount voucher.

Yay me.
