well not to directly point a finger at MS, at least not their technical people but I can think of so many things that came out much much later than orginally told by the PR people. and some that still havent come out. So theres something going on, and maybe the PR and techies should talk more often or something to give some more realistic dates.

Is that referring to the Gears of War demo that was "Coming Soon" months ago?

umm a GoW demo has never been announced or mentioned by anyone at MS or epic, Mark Reins from epic even pointed out how they wont have a GoW demo out soon, and maybe never.  

a demo that was announced and still not released yet could be chromehounds which was supposed to be released with the other E3 demos a few weeks ago.

I believe sega has stated that the new release date for the demo was the 21rst of july? not sure though....

[lostboyz]

no it was more in reference to the supposed plethora of new live arcade games

if true then that would be really stupid considering that the full game is supposed to be released in a couple of weeks.

I'm just starting to think that with the speed that information spreads on the internet, and people misinterpretting things quite often, that we as consumer's blow these things out of proportion getting excited and building the hype on it.  

I rarely (probably because of the restriction on my net access at work) see these rumors of demo dates, etc firsthand.

Normally I see them on the message boards, and feel like everything needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

i know what you mean, i see very little first hand.  the people that do get all worked up about it are pretty spoiled with this whole system.  it's flipping free, they never used to give demos out for console games like this.  i know they had the demos bundled with some xbox 1 games and such, but i'm talking about ease and accessability that has never been easier.  i love them, they've saved me money on games i didn't like and have caused me to buy a game or two i wouldn't have normally bought.  m$, i'm sorry, is doing a great job with the 360 thus far.  

Bill Gates' #1 thing against pyracy has been to make people WANT to buy things, before trying to combat it with different securities and such and he's winning me over.  people should be happy they have such a system and before somebody tells me, "no no omglollipopshorts, we pay $50 a year!!!! for this service"  no, no we don't, we pay $50 for multiplayer gaming, just like in xbox 1, the rest is all gravy. it is an ingenious service that makes them more money with all their "points" like their own country that translate to dollars and cents but at the same time adds to the wonderful array of possibilities for the 360.  

kind of fell off topic there, but what i'm saying is, wait for the damn demo, it will come.  if u can't wait, play one of the other great 360 games...or hell, even go outside for a change.

well side note, not really


prey demo kicks some major ass, I can only run it on medium settings but it is so GD trippy nearly impossible to remember which way is down

[hamwbone]

yeah ive been playing the demo on my pc, the portal are really weird, but i dont understand their purpose, i mean i do but half of the portal are like these floating time warps. the other half are just like a random crate sitting on the ground that you have to crawl into. youll see once you start playing, still allot of fun though.

[jimjom]

okay, we can't talk about this anymore....

Thinking about just downloading it on my PC and running it with my 7900 gtx's and hook up a wired 360 controller and play on the LCD I usually play on and see how it is. It's as close as the 360 demo as I will get.

[hamwbone]

the demo runs surprisingly well, and wait till you hear the sound track playing during parts of the game! it kicks ass.

oh and if flight simulators make you sick, dont even bother with multiplayer =)

[alsybub]

Just been playing the demo. Not to sure about depth but graphically this game is astonishing when running in full on everything!!!

When you start to go through the portals and walking up walls it really starts to get good.

I really wanna see how this looks on 360. It should be a really good comparison.
