Under Defeat HD

[kevenz]

I got alot of love for this game, great news its coming out on XBLA and PSN. Also as a note this game emulates really well on NullDC with a well equipped PC.

It works pretty much perfectly with Demul.

I don't use TwitBook or whatever, so have any of you been bugging G.Rev to make the 360 version region free? Pretty sure that Eschatos ended up that way specifically because we let Qute know there was demand for it!

[Alfred]

I sent G.Rev a Email and they replied back. They know we foreign Xbox 360 fans want it Region-Free. We may find out on the 8th November. They are very nice

[Estebang]

Good to hear, thanks!

...I mean, the PS3 version will obviously be region-free, but I don't have the system to play it on.

Wow, thats a nice LE. Definitely getting that.

[Deca]

Probably ~100usd for that LE then? Seems reasonable. If it's regionless I'll go 360 to keep all shootin stuff together but if not I'll just grab the ps3 version.

G.Rev = Cunts!

[evil_ash_xero]

I'm gonna wait and see what you guys think of the game first. I have the DC version...and I only want this one, if it really has nice HD graphics, and latency free gameplay.

Microsoft are CUNTS! too, If there stopping games from being region free. I should just buy a Jap or Asian 360 now or maybe a Sony PS3.

So I'm pretty much the only person who read the link, right?

"Yes, there have been Japanese games released in the past that were not region locked. This became a problem (to whom, I am not sure…) and has basically become prohibited (i.e. strongly discouraged)."

Very interesting. I wonder why? Doesn't look like any future releases will be region-free.

[Klatrymadon]

Boo-urns!

We know this limits access to many fans of the title and are considering possible ways to increase its accessibility.

I hope this means they'll push for a Games On Demand release, or something.

So the reason isn't that they are planning on getting western publishers to pick up the game. PS3 version it is, I guess.

[MR_Soren]

Looks like Microsoft has discovered a way to help STGs sell well on the PS3.

I suppose it's only fair to return the favor after SONY handed the market to Microsoft.

EDIT: By the way, this fucking bullshit.

[Zeron]

Seriously Microsoft you just shot yourself in the foot...

[emphatic]

LOL, region whining.

[Deca]

Welp that's an easy choice then, good a reason as any to switch my seimitsu stuff over from my 360SE stick into my new Q4RAF as well.

Is it up for preorder anywhere yet?

[brentsg]

LOL, region whining.

[Alfred]

LOL, region whining.

Thanks man. No your right we need to stop whining about region locking. I hope you PS3 guys enjoy the game it looks good.

I wonder if these are new OST CDs or just the prior available discs (the standalone OST and the AST that came with the DC LE release).

And by edited version of the superplay DVD I'm going to assume that it only contains the 7.5 million all clear and none of the additional content (like the easy clear or the tutorial stuff). Which raises a question, will the HD release have unlockable replays in the game (like the DC version had)?

Good thing most PS3 games are region-free by default. But you'll be good, just in case.

Seems like it...but even then, a very disappointing move. Was planning to buy the LE for my Pal 360...

Well, you can never have enough material.

The DVD is probably region locked, so the Limited Edition would be of limited use to me anyway. Disappointed, moving on.

[Special World]

I assume the bonus DVD would work in my J360, right?

[Jeneki]

Hmm, I'm torn here. I don't mind budget-priced rereleases or collections of older games, made to play at a higher resolution. But as a full-priced game? I just can't justify double-dipping that much cash on something I already own.
