mykevermin, understand this situation with demos:

The Lair devs just said themselves that they hope to get a demo ready before release, but admit it might not be until after release. Reason is they are working their hardest to make sure the game makes the August 14th deadline, and that's their main focus for now. If they finish before hand, it may come before release; otherwise it may be on hold. It's being said Heavenly Sword demo is finished, but needs to go through SCEA testing before being released. Most all SCE games will have demos, but it's mostly a matter when (MLB 07 The Show didn't get one because once they finished the PS2/PSP version, they had to port the game to PS3 and get the game out as soon as possible). Sony is NOT sitting on tons of demos they're just waiting to release, like many seem to think.

As for third party demos, the situation is interesting. Most exclusive third party games have a demo, or games which PS3 was the lead platform (like Armored Core 4, Virtua Tennis 3). Most multi-platform games don't due to PS3 not being the lead platform. If a game starts out on 360 and when its finished, the game is then ported to PS3 and released. During the porting process, a 360 demo is made (while PS3 usually doesn't get one because the game was finished later). Also, if a third party has a choice between making a 360 or PS3 demo, they will go for 360, because they can reach a larger market right now.

Also, to somewhat repeat your question, some third party devs have a choice of delaying a game to produce a demo, or released the demo after the game. Due to demands of a publisher, the game comes out before the demo. A publisher is perfectly fine if a game sells a few weeks later (at full price), as long as people are buying it.

[quote name='guyver2077']wow looks like the "store" is a loads o' fun[/QUOTE]Watching those videos are more fun than playing the crap demos put out on XBLA (only good one is AC6. I wanted to like Blue Dragon, but the demo is ass). Heck, watching the Killzone 2 and MGS4 video is more fun than every demo on the XBL Marketplace. ;)
 
Speak for yourself, honeybunch. I'd rather play a game to find out it was crap then spend $60 to find out. If I only owned a PS3, I'd have to get Pirates of the Caribbean from GameFly or Blockbuster to find out it was a pretty, but thoughtless, beat 'em up with rudimentary hints of Prince of Persia. Both cost money. With XBLA, I found that out for free.

You'll turn around on demos the split second PSN starts getting them in regularly. So cease with this "watching videos like a mouthbreather is better than playing demos" nonsense. You only say that because it suggests something bad about PSN, not because it is or is not true.
 
It's so entertaining to me to see people demanding so much of a service thats completely free at this moment.

Microsoft can supply more demos, trailers and other content because almost every user out there is paying for the service that delivers it.

Do I wish there were more demos out there for the PS3? Sure, I do. Am I going to complain every week about getting a new demo, as if I were entitled to it just because I bought the hardware? Never.

Yeah, you're right. I can't believe people actually want Sony to improve PSN. How dare they complain!? So ungrateful. I mean just because PSN offers less than the FREE Xbox Live Silver service doesn't matter.

You know what? Sony should just take everything down and cancel Home. The service is free we have no right to complain if they do.

XBOX LIVE Silver is FREE. No one has to pay for DEMOS on XBOX Live.
 
[quote name='chodax']Ever any news on a Little Big Planet demo?[/QUOTE]


if it's still on schedule, this Fall or Winter. but they haven't said anything at E3, to my knowledge.

Cheapy mentioned LittleBigPlanet in the E3 thread in his vids, I think the second one. He basically gave the review but I don't any info on release date.

he played it? lucky bastid. I'll have to check out that vid tomorrow.

It's not a vid of the game, but in his vids when he's talking about E3, he talks about that game for a good 2-3 minutes. Apparently he's very impressed with it and made everything he saw after miniscule compared to it.

Just wanted to clarify that in-case you thought it would be gameplay video :eek:

Right, because complaining to the CAG forums is really going to get something done about it.

I guess it is CAG after all though. People want free or cheap stuff and if they don't get it, to quote Artie Lange... WAAAAAAAAAHHH.

[quote name='doubledown']XBOX LIVE Silver is FREE. No one has to pay for DEMOS on XBOX Live.[/QUOTE]
Do you think that those people paying for the service... might be helping to make more content available though?

Oh, and there is trailer for All Pro Football 2K8 on the store now. It's not a demo, so I guess I'm pissed.... or not.
 
[quote name='shaunLEGEND']Hey guys, more Home Betas went out today. Check your store![/quote]

Wha? Where in the store?

I'm lookin' but not seeing anything, I don't even know what the home beta is -.-

[quote name='apokalipze2']It should be in the front. I got in too :applause::applause:[/quote]

Oh what the crap, nothing shows up.

I've tried searching all over the place and all I find is a video for home :/
 
If you got in, it should be in your featured tab. SERIOUSLY, it's not the worst thing if you aren't in it. Without breaking any NDA's, Home right now seems very limited as far as what you can do. Not all the features that are supposed to be in are implemented yet.

Don't get me wrong, it's cool to be a part of it, but the grass isn't really that much greener on the other side.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']lucky bastard! >_< I want home so badly![/quote]Well I agree with Shaulegend it's not that great right now. All I saw was people typing, "oh noez teh noobz" and walking around like zombies. Heh I'm not sure I'm ever going to be able to like Home. It just seems kinda pointless but that's just me ;);)
 
If you sign in at Playstation.com does it show up as a beta there? (Like Warhawk did)

Or is your Playstation Store the only place you'll be able to see it?

Not at all. Once the PS3 allows for in-game XMB access and game invites to your friendlist, then I'll never use Home again.

Rainbow 6 lets you sent invites which is cool....lame you can't do it from the XMB menu though.

Someday.
 
There is an UPDATE/PATCH for MLB 07 in the store now. I hate how you have to exit the game, download and install the patch, then fire up the game again...seems a bit cumbersome.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']it's official... July 26th is when heavenly sword demo will be on PSN.[/QUOTE]
OMG!!!

That's the day before the Simpsons Movie comes out! What a great week that will be!!

Great, you had to complain. Now everyone will want it to come out sooner and will start boycotting Sony in anger. Good job Apossum, you just killed the PS3.

In Europe only, from what I've read.
 
[quote name='mykevermin']In Europe only, from what I've read.[/quote]

Im actually traveling to Europe this weekend, maybe I just bring my PS3 along and download the demo.

No probably not, in customs they would think its a bomb.

well, you know, after those April and May sales figures when it lost to the GBA... *rimshot*
 
[quote name='dallow'] so now it's a case of Sony deciding when they feel is the best time to release it to PlayStation Network.[/QUOTE]
Right now sounds like a good time.
 
Australia and the UK got a demo for The Darkness and some trailers today.

We'll see what comes up on our side of the pond later.
 
Yeah, I saw an email from Sony saying Darkness demo was coming.

They probably won't spoil us and give us two demos....
 
EU is getting it on the 26th, one week from today. I don't see why we would get it any sooner (then again, I don't see why we wouldn't get it, even if it has only been confirmed for the EU at the moment).
 
Europe/PAL (UK mostly)

This week:
The Darkness - demo
The Darkness (trailer)
Rainbow Six: Vegas (trailer)
GTA 4 ("Looking for that special someone" trailer)
Aussies are getting 10 free music videos.

Japan

XI[sai] - free game

What's this game? I hadn't noticed it before.
 
Blast Factor info, free patch coming:

The Advanced Research pack is like an entirely new game...it won't make the multiplayer pack free, but the good news is that you don't need it to buy the AR pack.

The free patch (which contains a lot of awesome upgrades for the original BF) as well as the new game will come out at the same time really soon. That's really all I can say right now. :)

Awesome news.

I was going to buy Advanced Research regardless. Awesome that it's free.
 
No no, Advanced Research is a new game, so it's not free.

But the original BF gets a free patch with lots of new stuff, and I just asked the guy about the sensitivity of the SIXAXIS, he replied with:

I can confirm they've fixed the sensitivity and motion sensing in this new patch.

...gah, that's all you'll get from me!

SWEET!
