February 26, 2010 in Press Release comments 5

A report on the announcement of a demo version of Eidos and Avalanche Studio's Just Cause 2, set to arrive on Xbox LIVE Arcade, PlayStation Network and PC next week.

Players will hunt down and assassinate one of the game’s fifty military colonels; devastate military bases, bio fuel chambers, government infrastructure and more; hijack tuk tuks, military 4x4s, armoured vehicles, mopeds, helicopter gunships, light aircraft, mini vans and numerous other military and civilian vehicles; freefall from desert outcrops or from burning planes at 20,000 feet; and unlock one full, multi-stage mission, traversing the mountains to a heavily fortified government radar station and ending in an unforgettable desert car chase.

    Not going to bother, the first one was such a disappointment and I don't think a demo will give a clear picture. May pick this one up later if I hear they've fixed the boringness problem.

    I'm gonna say the same thing that I said over at x360a:

    quote a post somewhere else
    I think developers these days forget the point of a demo 'show off the potential of a game and how it plays, and as soon as the player starts having fun the demo should end, leaving the player wanting more'.

    If you make a demo that long and with all Rico's moves available at once, people are just gonna play the demo a couple of times and save themselves $60.

    I for one won't be playing the demo and will wait till the games release to play it
    This is why I think the Brutal Legend demo was great, just as you thought you were getting into it it ended. I'm sure a lot of people bought the game on the demo alone.

    If they, say let you roam around and do the first mission (where you free the headbangers) and then have a stage battle at the end, no one would have bought the full game cause A: Most don't like the RTS element lol and B: they can save themselves $60 by playing the demo a couple times.

      Prime example of a demo gone wrong. The current Darksiders demo, it gives you the entire beginning of the game. You get to play from the start all the way up to the first boss which depending on how fast you are is anywhere from 1-2 hours of gameplay.
