DUX for Dreamcast

[lilmanjs]

so the bugs aside, how do people like the game? I find it to be one of the better shmups released in the last few years.

[heavymetalme]

I've said it before already, but I don't think it'll hurt to say it again- I'm not a hardcore, awesome gamer. I love shmups, but I'm not all that great at them, but I can say that I love this game, because every time I pick it up, I progress, and that's all I look for. For the record, I cannot for the life of me get passed the first stage of Last Hope. For what its worth, I do believe DUX is quite an feat in comparison to Rene's previous work with the other fellas.

Overall, I think it's fun.

Play Asia still say they have no idea when there getting it in and are pleading ignorrant to the patch issues(?)

I wish I to could comment on how good the game is .............. but, I gotta receive it and play it first lol - Rene, any news on eta of patch disc?

Ahh well ..... some good news, just received my promo ed. mini disc Radiant Silvergun soundtrack - .......... win

I haven't noticed the scoring bug. The continue bug is a little annoying, but not that significant in the big picture. I've had the game for a couple days now and I'm really enjoying it.

1cced it this morning, level 5 got on my nerves but once you know it (and use blue laser !), it's kinda easy to get through.
Level 6 looks great, but maybe a bit too short... (one more reference to R-Type I assume, or "f*** we gotta release that game at last !!!" ?)

overall : a good game, even a very good one if memorizing is your stuff !
Redux ? wait & see !

[NAVVARR]

I'm still waiting for my Dux LE and Dux original - anyone else still not received the game yet?

-I'm in Glasgow UK - and i notice a few of you other people in the UK have received your games a few days ago..

-getting a bit concerned now that its gone missing / been a balls up in the orders....

[mjclark]

is there currently a speed up/down option anywhere?
On the game website it's the left shoulder button, but that's not featured on the ingame controls menu...
...still really enjoying this though and it's inspired me to revisit Pulstar, Blazing Star and Last Resort- Pulstar plays very nicely on my Dreamcast using Neo4All, but Blazing Star and Last Resort are definitely better on MAME.

imo ............ the best game to run on MAME is easily Dondonpachi .............. so oooo much better than the sh**ty port on Saturn

[E. Randy Dupre]

That's nice and all, but I feel you might have missed the point of that post.

[Hydeux]

I've done a review of the game on shmup.com (for French speaking people...)

???? No one asked what the best game to run in mame was? learn to read the post your quoting .

Where can I order the Limited Edition of DUX? Play-Asia does not have it anymore, I know I should have ordered it back when it was first offered but didn't because I dislike cute 'em ups, but I just saw that the game released and suddenly felt I HAD to buy it.

wrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry http://www.hucast.net/shop/article_11/D ... LE%5D.html

Also, why isn't DUX offered on the NG:DEV.TEAM website? I mean it's still Hellwing's who were in charge of both projects, so...

The graphics looks better like the videos, but the colour contrast between scene, background, bullets and enemies is a shit. No way.

...Thespeedup/down control doesn't feature on the website now, so I guess there isn't one
Also on my Neo Geo shmups pilgrimage I've been playing Iron Clad (using Neo4All again) and there's a definite resonance with Dux there. No bullet soaking in Iron Clad but you do get bombs, a bit like R-Type meets Raiden.

[JUTMAN22]

woooot!!! just had confirmation that my L.E Dux has been shipped from Play Asia!

[Endymion]

I have a small question for a little clarity here.

It was mentioned a few pages back that those who ordered directly from hucast would receive the bugfix version for free--do we need to write in and request this or can we just expect a shipment when it is ready? I do have an NTSC Dreamcast and use VGA so I unless I misunderstand the bug I guess the scoring issue doesn't affect me, but I would like to have the other fixes in place, and just wondered how this would be handled.

[RHE]

HUCAST.net customers can request a revison disc individually soon. Other shops may handle this differently.

And to the people who still want to get an DUX LE, you may have better luck here and or there.

Rene, what about play Asia customers? I assume we come direct to u also?

[RHE]

Actually, they want to ship that revision disc to all orders of the game instantly.

So how will we be notified when the revised disc is available?

[RHE]

Via blog and newsletter.

[dmauro]

So can you really not remap the buttons or am I just totally dense about this button configuration screen?

[Udderdude]

Apparently this will be added in the re-released version.

[neorichieb1971]

All 4 buttons should be mapped.

2 buttons do shot, 2 buttons do the release.

I'd like auto fire myself. Too much button bashing for me.

[NAVVARR]

So, I've ordered 2 copies of this game- and only one has turned up.
I've ordered the LE and the normal game.

The game that has turned up contains The DVD case, the game disk, the soundtrack disc and the instruction booklet on the back of the DVD case is printed 037 under the bit where is says 'compatible devices'

-is this the LE version of the normal version?? - coz it doesn't say LE on it anywhere.

I've seen other editions on ebay with a poster and a thankyou for your patience leaflet- i've got neither.


Anyone shed any light on this for me -before i contact hucast for my missing game.

[antares]

You have the LE and the poster was only sent to the first 100 preorders.

[JUTMAN22]

Still have not got my LE from Play Asia, even though pre-ordered a zillion years ago! anyone else still waiting???

Also RHE any news on ETA pink bullets and OST???

[RHE]

Also RHE any news on ETA pink bullets and OST???

While I'm not sure what ETA means, Pink Bullets is to be released at July or early August. We make a few more changes, so it may take a bit longer, but August is possible. I said this with DUX many times, but this one is more save.

Soundtrack is currently TBA, but you can expect it around August or September.

[mjclark]

ETA=Estimated Time of Arrival
Any news on Dux update disc? I'm still really enjoying playing the initial version but look forward to the patched game.

[lilmanjs]

I currently don't have a pic right now, but I put my DUX sticker on the back of my truck. been getting a few questions about DUX around town.
