Classic Game Room - UNDER DEFEAT HD review for PS3

Under Defeat HD review. www.ClassicGame... Classic Game Room reviews UNDER DEFEAT HD for PlayStation 3 from G.Rev! It's always a good time to rain death from above with awesome helicopters! Play one or two-player local coop and destroy everything in sight in this awesome vertical scrolling shoot 'em up from G.Revolution for the PS3.

[@wildbird5150]

The soundtrack is incredible. The music sounds like it came from a mecha anime. Absolute classic!

[@xbuster3]

thank you for the review. Without it there's no way i would've bought this game

[@V3NOMXIII]

They screwed up the frame rate in the HD port. The Dreamcast version runs constant at 60 FPS.

[@thierrycorydon1193]

I miss the reviews of CGR so much

[@Lupucillo]

Much obliged for bringing this to our attention, Mark. I've pre-ordered it on Amazon.

[@MikePitcher]

im not normally into this kind of game.... but the music.. I must have this game . it looks fantastic.

[@dogeymon83]

Very interesting that little brief freeze up just before you die happens in this version too. That happens in the dreamcast version and I thought it was a glitch

[@Rondart]

I have two gripes with the New Order Mode: 1. Your helicopter has more degrees of freedom facing left and right and this often works to your detriment when your angle is wrong. The Arcade mode angles are simply straight, left, and right, which makes it easier to aim. 2. The widescreen removes some of the tricks when beating bosses, particularly the last boss, in which the some of bullets disappear when shooting at the corner in Arcade Mode due to narrow screen. This adds difficulty.

[@defset]

Under Defeat HD: Deluxe Edition is slated for release this Fall. The deluxe edition will be available in both North America and Europe. In North America, it will cost $30.00 PS3 exclusive for North America.

[@MrSoniK]

HEY IGN THIS GUY IS A REAL REVIEWER, not scoring if not how great and smooth the game is. :D this guy make see games i used to see it

[@vmbo]

This game was released about 5 years after the Dreamcast died. Quite amazing. Didn't know they made a HD version. Which looks exactly like the DC version btw.

[@BareKnuckleRoo]

I believe one of the new modes allows you to play twin-stick; the standard game is intended for arcade stick though.

[@dogeymon83]

I have this for dreamcast and its awesome!

[@SpectrumReviews]

you can pre order at amazon now!! i cant wait, looks very fun and the soundtrack was remixed for the HD version

[@kidcloneinteractive]

so... does the different music in new order mode feature new order?

[@Rondart]

cont'd: Actually, the New Order Mode music is also one of my complaints, since all stages except the last one does not have a dedicated boss theme that the original score does; it simply continues the stage music. Minor, I know, but it does detract from the overall experience. In any case though, I'm really glad I picked this game. Certainly hearkens back to the old shmups with less emphasis on pretty bullet patterns and more on survival. Good job G.Rev and Rising Star Games.

[@sanseg]

im digging the soundtrack

[@Gorilla_Jones]

How does this compare to the Dreamcast version?

[@thofol]

I bought my version of this game this week in Taiwan (Japanese version). Of course it runs on my European PS3. There are two things I'd like to point out: - Slowdowns happen only when you got hit. I suppose it's intentional - and not due to hardware restrictions. - Dual Stick controls can be set in the "options" menu - in both versions (new order and arcade). Hope this helps. I can highly recommend this game.

[@Mar-O899]

Western release coming in November, and this now has me looking forward to it more.

[@XeCuTioNR]

Cant wait for the Eschtos review!

[@snowboardman420]

Is this a twin stick shooter or can i use my arcade stick?

[@ArtHazard]

Mark, you should review Zero Gunner 2 for dreamcast. That game was awesome!

[@Barla90]

Hands down, this game looks awesome! Is it for PC?

[@oOignignoktOo1]

This game was awesome back on the DreamCast. I got the Limited Edition import for PS3 and a ditigal copy on the Xbox 360 for Games on Demand. I wish G-Rev would've released Border down HD though because imo that was their best shmup.

[@DAVIDSDIEGO]

Yup, I know about landscape widescreen mode. I guess now I realize why the Dreamcast version was in Portrait mode by default. Zero Gunner 2 would be nice in 1080p...

[@andrewrunagall]

Under Defeat is available in the UK, but I guess a North America release is not planned at this time.

[@deadducks7301]

YES!!!!! I have it on the dreamcast and would love it on the PS3.

[@OniDanielx86]

This reminds me of Tiger Heli for NES. I love it!

[@defset]

Yes,retail title and will include the game, a digital art book, all current DLC and patches, a soundtrack CD, and a letter from G.rev CEO, Hiroyuki Maruyama.

[@Reasonjpn]

Actually developer's pronounced grev, despite being written G.rev. They just put out a 3DS tank shooter called Kokuga alongside the director of Ikaruga and Radiant Silvergun.

[@Ryuhei64]

Nice, I will buy it. Retail title in the west too, then?

[@KomandoBlacknoah]

yes .. u also have a new wide screen mode .. but it controls kinda weird.

[@Megatog615]

Cool! A scrolling shooter where you can... turn! Pretty awesome :).

[@1shoryuken]

Shinji Hosoe is great but l prefer this work under Namco's Sampling Masters, that team made some of the most insane arcade music.

[@ToniaLeethesalmonmousse]

Great review. Mark!

[@MetalTiger88]

i love this game, i still play the dc version on my naomi cab :D

[@jonathanthompson4296]

I have both versions. Anyone else notice that the XBLA version seems to be sharper than PS3? Perhaps because it was released later?

[@shazzbutter]

Damn dude. Those 3 SHMUPS lovingly donated to you cost around $200 in total now.

[@marthaymydear]

Yeeeeaaaaah! thank you for this review, one of my favorite Dreamcast games!

[@neozeed1984]

Awesome game.. one of the best reasons to have a dreamcast vga adapter.

[@jrez8225]

please do a review of Border Down!

[@brianavila1034]

That game is awesome! I like that the developers created a game from a controversial stand-point. The original soundtrack for that game is the best. I was surprised it got changed for the PS3 release? Also I sent you guys Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia last year; when are you going to review it dude?!? It's an awesome game! You won't be sorry! ; )

[@EmeraldWarrior420]

This game looks awesome! I wish I had PS3 or Japanese Dreamcast.

[@dogeymon83]

If u have a dreamcast they have a website where you can download this game and burn it right onto a cd-r to play on your dreamcast

[@jesterofdimensionz]

The 16-bit techno rock from the arcade version is on par with mega man x soundtrack. Personally I think they have some of the best game soundtracks

[@ChoobChoob]

The Vulcan cannon is the logical choice.

[@ptwob]

i want to play this now

[@ryanc519]

there are many other games that are fun to play, such as blackjack, texas hold em, monopoly...other board games that you play with your friends. What separates videogames with other games? Everyone has a different answer to that.

[@MrTerrencef1]

This game is $2.50 on psn right now...(i first noticed it sept 1st 2014).. today is the 5th so get it while it's still on sale ppl... I hope u see this before the sale ends :( Great game!

[@FastTquick]

You should review Bug Princess 2 for Xbox 360.

[@Progearspec]

I have under defeat for the dreamcast and i agree mark it's not a overwhelming shooter,untile at the end at least.It's some thing that under defeat got ported to the PS3 "given sony is basis towards" to shoot'em ups.

[@Jodie842]

'under defeat'? is that a mis-translation?

[@talideon]

Looks good, but looks more like the kind of thing is that'd be released in the PlayStation store rather than as a full retail release.

[@donkeykong5414]

MARK! review the Perfect Dark Remake

[@SWellusionist]

Very cool retro style game

[@PEACE63641]

MAKE A REVIEW OF GUN FOR THE PS2, PLEASE!

[@JMLRetroRoom]

The enemy fire reminds me of Metal Slug.

[@LoveXKnife]

I borrowed this game for the dreamcast. fucking great. i'll be sure to get it

[@JediWindex]

Under Defeat was a sweet ass game. It's titles like these that really deserve the HD treatment. While I do like the fact that publishers are doing HD re releases of titles like MGS and what not I just don't think they need to. But stuff like Under Defeat? Not just yeah but hell Yeah. Maybe they could do this for another sweet ass smup, Zero Gunner!

[@edvellozz]

AAAAAAAAHH!! I want one these!! i love this kinda game!!!

[@PM5KU3]

Why not a sequel?

[@NiteJerk]

We need an HD remake of Einhander!!!!!

[@De5con]

How did PS3 get this ?

[@TheRyan115]

What is the name of the game genera >>

[@ABlackFalcon]

Yeah, Under Defeat is an incredible game. Second-best Dreamcast shmup easily, behind only Ikaruga... it's great to see it in an easily importable release on the PS3 (the 360 version is region-locked I assume?).

[@VisceriousZERO]

Review the new Zaxxon for iOs!

[@PixelOutlaw]

It is nice to get some proper shmups for this generation of consoles. Even if it is a bit late. That said I doubt these consoles will last as long given their hardware failures.

[@timespacedub]

omgomgomg, this game looks awesome

[@BumpleBuns]

His name is Mark.

[@BatesyBoi]

did i say the game was bad all i said was that it looks like a psn title i just find it weird on a disk

[@bbutters2]

I was considering donating my Dreamcast copy to Mark for a review. guess i don't have to for now at least. It friggin cost me $160 US.

[@zanychelly]

Changed name again?

[@Satanford]

16:9 just looks weird when playing vertical shmups.

[@rko320]

Review Akai Katana for 360!!!

[@Ariel233CB]

I can see what you mean, but to me, the most important part is having fun playing the game. Of course, a fun game doesn't mean a great game, but that's the point at the end, right? having fun. At least that's the reason I play videogames. Its my honest opinion (: nothing more than that

[@Astfgl]

Wait a minute, Mark doesn't have the Dreamcast version of this game? Wow, that means I actually own a game that Mark doesn't!

[@kylethestyle]

Yeah, I just read that. Soooo glad I didn't fork over the money for the import now.

[@Ryuhei64]

Wow, nice. Definitely buying it :)

[@quigon87yt]

Anime + Helicopters = I like it!

[@richardhutnik]

Zero Gunner?

[@jrez8225]

got the DC version and love it to death!

[@jrburke99]

Oh, hell yeah!

[@zydian_]

if the hole game industry was based around marks enthousiasm for videogames, it would be a LOT better/different.

[@davidbrobinson1995]

they should review mario party(any)

[@NoNickNoKick]

I have the Under Defeat HD Deluxe it's fun and dandy :D

[@ryanc519]

a good videogame is not just about being fun to play

[@lastvaquero]

D: You destroyed the Cow's Home at about 1:00 D: Whatcha got against them? :p

[@Savarin107]

Slowdown? Prooves that simple shooters like this are more complicated than FPS games

[@temnetalks3219]

Tank1: sir reports of a red helicopter are coming our way

[@MegaCompactDisk]

I have this for dreamcast.

[@synapticflow]

UM... XBL please!

[@swl9380]

go get it on psn, its 10 bucks, dont know how long it be there, but go get it , its worth it

[@EpicLebaneseNerd]

i bought the game on EUROPE PSN just now for $40 , it is like 283 mb file , downloading as we speak , it is pricey but i don't mind , a good game is worth it , USA costs $30 and that is a much better price!

[@specialformula14]

finally.. that was foe the dremacast

[@Number-6]

Dayum, dem pilots.

[@mrbadsound]

like chopper attack... my very first N64 game

[@branden32210]

people u do know this is border down from the greatest system evr the sega dreamcast. cgr is the greatest.

[@numberedeyes]

slowdown in a shooter on the ps3 that is unacceptable ... sure looks pretty though.

[@clone1eighty7]

Nice alot of eye candy and "ahhh hell" moments
