How About A Beta?

Post » Thu Jan 20, 2011 2:41 pm

I think that demo would be cool.
But why would we need beta atleast i dont think that anything is broken in the game atm.

Well - Its been made clear as crystal by SD - That there will be NO demos or Betas.

The game is so close to release and has more than enough content out - For players to judge for them selfs whether or not the game is for them.

Frankly - If it does look like your game, Move on.

If it looks good - Buy it, Come join us.

Either way - Less idiots to worry about.

OBVIOUSLY there isn't gonna be a Beta, most likely no Demo unless they change their minds after release for other reasons.
BUT, I would like to use this opportunity to say that I think there should be!
Even if the code is perfect, there's only so much they can test before idiots like these get their hands on something. A Demo is just good marketing sense, it barely costs anything and there will always be people who are only interested when they can try something out. Usually including me, except in this case

I'll take "If it looks good - Buy it, Come join us."

There should be a beta or a demo for preoders only


You mean 99% of this forum?

That'd get too out of hand.

I agree. I mean -- i'm the type of gamer once i see i game i like i want to try it out first which would probably make me want to buy the game even more.

whats the purpose of a demo if you already paid for the game. The purpose of a demo is to allow people to try the game and see if they like it. No demo shows they either dont care or know it wont help sell the game (either bad product or just extremely confident that the reviews will be good enough).

There was already a closed PS3 beta and the game is 18 days away. No need for another beta or a demo.

It would have been cool just to demo Brink, but this late in the game I think its safe to say its not happening.

A beta this close to release? I don't think so. It would be like "Hey here's the beta!" then "Hey never mind the beta, here is the game!"


Off Topic: Gears 3 beta is pretty cool!

Agreed
