Crysis 2: The Importance of a Demo - for all Platforms

Post » Fri Dec 31, 2010 6:14 am

Guys, please, stop those stupid wall of texts.

If any of you guys keep on doing this, you'll get warned, either having a temp ban or a perma ban. You don't want to that.

Keep it civil guys, that derail a good debate.

Also, guys, consider this:

It's the first time Crytek has ever made a multiplatform game, meaning they need to know what people think about their game. And since it's coming to console, I think every PS3/360 gamer will want to try out their experience before they buy the product.

After all, this game hasn't been released for the consoles before.

Actually, now people would be more likely to pirate the game than to buy it because of the demo.

well what can i say

i always been in favour of a reliable and informative Beta returning good results, rather than smutty critisizms, and this has never been a gamers right to have, more a privalige<<

However, Betas dont quite seem to cut it theses days with everyone expecting, even demanding a key, so what the hell. if there happens to be a Demo on the go, I'm In

I always wonder though, how many ppl who try the Demo will then not get the game ??

Anyway, that said.

I wish u all the very best that the new year can offer


Happy year of Crysis 2

False.

More people pirate games when there is no demo. A demo and beta actually helps to reduce piracy by allowing people to try out the game early for free before investing cash in it.

Warnings have been issued to the spammers in this thread. This is NOT the way to get your point across or gather support for a cause.

@Black Angel, whilst i can appreciate this is an informative thread, this is also the third thread related to a Crysis 2 demo that you've created:
A Demo, When and How
Review, Test it yourself or Play it ?

You're better off having one huge thread full of support/ideas/feedback, rather than spreading it across multiple threads in smaller fashion. This is why duplicate threads are removed/merged, it helps us gauge the response when it's all in one place.

2003. A lot can happen in 7 years. A lot has. There are far more internet users today, as there were in 2003. Yes, that is a fact. Nowadays, you don't have to have a demo. We have YouTube, we have reviews, we have video reviews, and so on. There simply isn't a need for a demo, at this point. Today, it actually is better to spend that resource to work on polishing the game.

Sorry, but that's how it is. As for the survey itself (apart from the fact that it was conducted in 2003), that's simply a survey. Would you rather play a demo before purchasing the actual game? Of course.


Thank you

If your not going to contribute to our cause, then review this:

Crysis 2: The importance of a demo

Courtesy of the I.G.D.A.

To start off:
[b]In February of 2003 the IGDA (International Game Developers Association) survey of publishers revealed that the single most important aspect of a product submission is the game/code demo. The survey further found that a large proportion (77% of respondents) would be unlikely to sign up a game without a demo. Surprisingly many developers (especially new companies) fail to grasp the importance of the demo. Many consider that the work done to create a polished and well-presented demo is time that could be better spent working on the game. Much of the code needed to create a good demo will never be used in the finished game. It is written simply to “paper over the cracks” – to cover those elements of the final game that have not been implemented yet and to prevent the demo from crashing. The IGDA’s survey shows how wrong this attitude is (And many publishers and developers alike have failed because of it).


And the recent corporate gaming research during 2010:
The Latest in Gaming research shows:
The ability to demo a video game is of crucial importance and has a big impact on most consumers' game purchasing decisions. This was even more important than price, although price became the #1 factor when buying games as gifts.

Interestingly, the biggest takeaway from the study was that although price can play an important role in a consumer's game purchasing decisions, being able to "test drive" a game was found to be particularly important. The results of the game and word of mouth also factored into consumers' game purchasing decisions.

Do you need more proof to explain why we need a demo. Dj-iceman

2003. A lot can happen in 7 years. A lot has. There are far more internet users today, as there were in 2003. Yes, that is a fact. Nowadays, you don't have to have a demo. We have YouTube, we have reviews, we have video reviews, and so on. There simply isn't a need for a demo, at this point. Today, it actually is better to spend that resource to work on polishing the game.

Sorry, but that's how it is. As for the survey itself (apart from the fact that it was conducted in 2003), that's simply a survey. Would you rather play a demo before purchasing the actual game? Of course.


Thank you

Excuse me, but what your doing is called pointless , think clearly and use your head for a moment will ya. A review can have doubts especially if the release date was altered from original and all material reviewed for was just pre-alpha. Watching from vids from youtube and streams are pointless if they keep getting errors/fail. The videos released in the xbox live market are still pre alpha material, same goes for Psn.

There is no real way to see and feel a game from reading and watching in the distance, you have to play it to believe. Were fighting for this very cause our cause.

If you don't want to help us, then just stay away and leave us alone ok.
