WhiteKnight77 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 RSE always released demos that had SP and MP using a map from the game or that could be added to the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa6 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Yeah I remember..When GR came out the demo castle map was released for GR. I thought at the time that was cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poita Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Yeah it was a sweet moment. I remember feeling dissapointed that castle day wasn't included in the release. It came out in a patch or something didnt it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteKnight77 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Yes, RSE included it with the first patch as some people had a hard time adding it to the proper folders. It was easier to install it with the patch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabRaz Posted October 21, 2005 Author Share Posted October 21, 2005 (edited) Nope don't mind if u guys use the pic (i don't even remember starting this topic!). But guys u should remember this is PC Gamer UK, not the US edition (which I also get), so don't expect any answers from pcgamer.com. I guess one place to ask would be http://forum.pcgamer.co.uk (note: I'm getting an error message trying to connect to their forums).

KRP 56 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I can't see this happening. If UK PCGamer has a demo ready to go in a few days wouldn't UBI,RSE or GRIN already have said a demo will be released very soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornToKill Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Has anyone quizzed UbiRazz yet?? To me it looks like we will certainly get a demo of GR3 on the PC.As to when is another question. As has been stated that publication was in print before Ubi delayed the launch.Ubi may force them to pull back on releasing the demo, probably not wanting to hype up GR3 too early. But then you never know, maybe they feel they owe us one and will release the demo pre X-mas.It would certainly be good for their PR.

SteelHack Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I agree in the fact that when the mad was published...we were fast approaching the original release date...and that the are more than likely pulling it back. But I see no reason to. Just give us a chance to look at it...we all understand things wont be finished until FEB...but I have read on here...the push back date was installed to give them more time to insert things the GR community ask for...what better way to do so..than to let us play a level..and then tell them what we think is missing.

Inc_Doc Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Based on past UBI actions, I would'nt put much faith in this happen. However, it would please me greatly to have to eat my words Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobblers Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Does anyone ever buy this magazine? Well I've got a subscription to it and there have been plenty of times where they've said "this will be in the next issue" but due to things happening beyond their control (ie a game being put back a couple of months) they were then unable to deliver as they promised. No demo will be released next month in the PC Gamer magazine, I guarantee it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa6 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I think there's a communication problem here. push the date of release back then...DEMO!? hmm what gives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobblers Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Because the magazine went to print BEFORE information by UBI was released which stated the game was being held back. There may well have been a demo, but we're not going to see one this side of xmas. And they aren't going to give out a demo before they know what the retail version of GRAW will be like. Which, given the amount of time left before release, anything could change. Well that's my feelings on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retlaw Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 They are pulling your leg. I got the PC gamer for November and December and there is no demo of the game. Also no adverticement on any of those mags, but on the Xbox mag for december, they have a 3 page add of the game. Sounds familiar........ they promise GR3 for PC but all the fuzz is about GR3 for Xbox 360 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babydave Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 also it doesnt whether or not its a playable demo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR_Bongo Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 damn what a great time to be in the UK, if they do release this as a demo, you can bet it will be hosted as a file or even an ISO on our website. so get your burners ready if you dont have access to it in the US.

GreyHaired Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Like Papa6 says, in other words: if the game’s delayed, the demo is delayed correspondingly. Question is: Can a PC magazine advertise a demo, without having confirmation from the publishers that they actually GET a demo? Answer 1: If they can, it’s a sneaky way to attract buyers. Answer 2: If they cannot, UBI is aware that there’ll be a demo. There are some rules/agreements between publishers and PC magazines about “first refusal†to publish the latest and greatest, yes, even before fansites get the info. For the simple reason that reviews in PC magazines also sell games. And PC magazines sell well. Answer 3: because of this, UBI cannot publish any info about the demo. Note 1: Anandtech.com mentioned that the Ageia cards are delayed into Q2, 2006. Last lines: http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2574 I’ve not been able to find additional info, but it can be a reason for the delay (yeah I know February ain’t Q2) and thus delayed release of a demo. Conclusion: Since the PC magazine has published info about a “to come†demo it should not be difficult for Ubisoft, or the PC magazine to inform that issue no. xyz will have a GR:AW demo or a statement from the PC magazine that they had informed wrongly and there will not be a GR:AW demo included in their magazine ever. Comment: There’s an album by the Rolling Stones: “Get your Ya Ya’s Outâ€. Beats me what “Ya Ya’s†stands for but it just feels right. So Ubisoft: “Get your Ya Ya’s Out.†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa6 Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 i do believe that there was an earlier post on another thread that stipulated that the physics would be software incorporated. I think since alot of ppl wouldn't be able to get or would get a ageai physics boards at all software was the way to go. can't have half a group on this level adn this group on another. I do believe that the physics would bring everyone equal on the play field. But what or how good it is remains to be seen. only a demo cab prove this.

stevenmu Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 PC Gamers disc editor replied and confirms that the demo's pushed back too and won't make the next issue. No mention of when it will, but I guess January would be the safe bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mention of when it will, but I guess January would be the safe bet. ← I think this is a situation of a magazine taking chances witwh advertising that resulted in a situation of it selling something it didn't own, promising something it couldn't deliver. I'm sure this is not the first time the magazine has made such a claim about a demo. They probably did not do it in bad faith or intentionally, just a miscommunication.

SteelHack Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Damn it! I knew it! I hate it when I'm right ← This goes back to when GRAW was pushed back to Feb...and lots of people said they are wanting to implement more of what the "fan" wants. It appears to me nothing could be farther from the truth. If that was true... a mass scale BETA LEVEL to get "fan" input would make perfect sense. Bottom line...it wasnt ready....at least for the XBOX 360...and as we are quickly learning...that is the center of the gaming universe....and everyone else gets table scraps. Please Sir..... may I have another PC game HACK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenmu Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 They probably did not do it in bad faith or intentionally, just a miscommunication.That's the way I see it, I'd guess they were told by someone that there would be a demo to hand, so they planned for it to be there. I'm sure they'd love to delivier it, for their readers, and because now they have to change what is going to be in the next issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonMiguel Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 IMO, if they were smart they'd release it anyways and get all the extra feedback they can now, to include what updates they can before release. Imagine a game where you don't have a patch in the first week of release.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRP 56 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Imagine a game where you don't have a patch in the first week of release.... ← That would be a miracle. Heck sometimes I wondered if UBI spent more time making the patches for RVS than they spent on making the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
