Realse a Demo | Forums

@sam:

well a demo and a beta by today's standard will be a first, and Ubi isn't a company who would do that LOL ((neither EA))

As for SP, I didn't play SCC demo, but the feed back wasn't that good, yet the final game was much better, so it isn't always the best indication, as for SCB I still think if we see stealth videos, showing the level in full ghosting it will be enough, you will know it is there, you will know it is possible, if they don't show it, then yeah we need a demo, but assuming they will show us stealth, if we get a demo, we will get a level we saw, so we already saw it can be stealthed and it can be panthered.

Didn't try SCC demo either though it was in download queue. lol Demos are not always representative of the final game but at least what you'll be expecting. In a case like that's the case for my custom maps for COD. Love the mod tool.

Regardless of showing us a stealth video, it's better for us to experience it for ourselves. After all, we have our all stealth style. A demo is always fun to play, to test out. It may be a different level like SCC, the preview was mostly Kobin's Mansion but we got a level that is so far ahead in the game. So this may happen.

EA did release BF3 beta. That was fun, aside from the bugs, glitches, etc.

Either way, I would love to play demos to try/test out the features and see what I'll be expecting in the final game.

Since the MP needs to go through serious testing anyway I think a Beta for that portion is the better way to go. It'll giver us an idea of the mechanics, a look at the MP innovation and help test something that HAS to be tested on a large scale anyway, and therefore not really use up additional development time.
Demo's take time away from building the game apparently so I don't need one....or want one, to spoil anything for me in regards to the story.

GRFS's Beta was good for testing and gave an accurate look at the controls, graphics and basic premise of the entire affair. Good way to go.
