RSG publish DDP Resurrection in Europe

[MR_Soren]

Great news about the US consoles! Any ideas where to order?

[Sumez]

I know Amazon won't ship video games outside of their area. I'm gonna have to find out how to get the DoDonPachi goodness over to these shores. REGIONFREEDOM <3

I recommend Zavvi, Play or Shopto, either of those should get the game for cheap, and I'm sure at least one if not all of them ship to North America.

mmm not sure about Play or Shopto, but pretty sure that Zavvi do. If you guys in the US could wait a few weeks after release this will probably be sub-£20.

As with Deathsmiles I'll pick this up even though i've got a JP copy. Got to support RSG!

So there won't be any display issues on an american SDTV? I never totally understood the details about the whole PAL thing.

[E. Randy Dupre]

Anybody know a way to import this to the US? Play-Asia?

Amazon UK wont ship here, correct?

I'm still waiting (in vain?) for the day that people bother to read at least the most recent page of posts before posting questions that have already been answered.

Or, y'know, the most recent post.

Won't be an issue with the 360. The PAL/NTSC thing isn't a problem on the current gen of consoles, with the exception of the Wii.

[Deca]

OK cool, so it's just all around fine on the 360 and not dependent on using a particular type of connection or anything like that? Just wanna make sure I have everything completely sorted before I pull the trigger on this thing

[xbl0x180]

Cool deal. I already have the Japanese disc for Black Label, but I'll buy one or two more to pass around since they're region-free

[Deca]

Emailed ncsx a little bit ago and just got a reply!

"yes we are planning on importing the European version of DoDonPachi Dai Fukkatsu and we'll be glad to notify you once preorders are open in the next few days. Thanks."

I know where I'm grabbing mine

When has the Wii had PAL/NTSC issues? It does PAL60 as well which is what all PAL-region X360 games do. :S

With an X360 via HDMI there is no PAL/NTSC at all. Via component or scart, it's true.

This too. With a HDMI cable it is universally 60hz speed outright as I understand it. The day that HDTVs become as easy to get as CRTs and you can plug in a cheap-as HDMI cable into a cheap-as HDTV with good results will be a very good day indeed.

Americans importing from Europe!?....... now I've seen everything.

Yeah, except that Futari clear.

Anyhow, it's great that the game can be played on U.S. consoles, and setting up a U.K. account for the dlc is easy. Plus, it also means we will share the same leaderboards, which is especially good for a game like DFK.

You can only hope that future releases from RSG are the same.

[ibeatu]

this is great to hear ill have to import this i hope they come out with more games for the us specifically in the future

LOL, that's mean.

Whoah wait, so composite/component/s-video whatever into an SDTV will still be all fucked up? The last thing I want to do is play a 3:4 SD game on a 16:9 HDTV (that I don't have)

That is not what I would call "no issues" as I'm sure a great deal of players here prefer CRTs. If this is true then it will definitely make me reconsider my purchase.

Don't forget VGA, which is also an option on the 360.

[TrevHead (TVR)]

Probably the best bet is to ask someone with a NSTC JTAGged 360 who can try out a couple of PAL games

The trick is finding the PAL games :p

Wonder if we have anyone around here who'd be willing to test and confirm? Maybe someone in a PAL region with a 60hz CRT?

[TrevHead (TVR)]

Someone with a JTAGged 360 can just burn his own disks (unless im mistaken)

If only we wasnt so harsh on all the pirates in this forum. Oh how the tables have turned!

You get black and white picture if you are trying playing it on American TV with PAL Console using component(480i)/S-video/Composite. 480p works fine.

US console outputs only NTSC signal so you get full color picture with American TV.


There are no pal 360 games that runs 50hz only on SDTV.

[PixelDharma]

It's pretty strange to have imported my first PAL game this month (Xenoblade) and find myself importing my second PAL game only a few months later. Times are changing. I used to have pity on PAL gamers.

OK so 360 PAL game running on a US console via composite into a US SDTV won't give any problems then? It's just an issue with the console itself being PAL?

Not all PAL Wii games support PAL60. Some - quite a few, actually - are 50Hz only, due to Nintendo's continuing desire to fuck European gamers in the ear. There are no 50Hz-only PAL 360 games.

[BPzeBanshee]

Interesting, I've never heard of such a game. Really can't be that common I suppose. :/

Indeed. Quite the opposite in fact. Some PAL games are PAL 60 only.

Mostly the PAL gamers in Australia since they end up getting the games dead last and pay higher prices for just about everything. Great looking women live there, though, so I dunno if I'd care for playing video games

I digress, I'd love to own a few of those rugby and cricket games for the PAL 360...

[E. Randy Dupre]

It was a more regular occurence at the beginning of the machine's life, but it still happens now. Rising Star, for example, failed to provide 60Hz support in the PAL version of Little King's Story.

[Sumez]

Can't you manually set you X360 to output either NTSC or PAL in the console settings, rather than depending on the game?
I gotta admit this isn't something I have given any thoughts in this generation of consoles, NTSC and PAL is really a thing of the past.
