Kane99 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I love when companies release a demo for their upcoming games, especially when sometimes those demos aren't even a part of the full game. Like the recent RE 8 Maiden demo. I don't know if this portion will be in the game, but if it's not, it's a cool way to market a game. I wish more studios did these type of things. Could be an opening to a game, or maybe even the games tutorial. That'd be cool. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 It's actually good too for the companies, because when some people explore a certain game as a demo and play few missions, they will love to continue the game, which means they will buy it (if it's any good) Withywarlock and killamch89 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Who does demos hames nowadays, do not really see them around. They release the game and to play you have to buy the game, then again you have two years worth of playing time to get a refund on steam. Ohh and Xplane 11 offers a free two hours demo 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I'd much rather companies release a demo and continue working on the real game while taking feedback from the players so that they know what parts of a game to work on than give us a game released in beta and fix it afterwards.

It actually serves as a pre-marketing tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shole Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 A lot of studios don't do that due to money problems. And I think it's not like budget or anything but the pressure to do everything in time and do it until X deadline can put some real pressure on those guys and girls.

Well, I believe that it's something that they can actually do well should they work with their timetable and not keeping rescheduling everything.
