demos arent always released before the game is released

BIG FAT POO is all i gotta say to no pc demo, oh well less than 2weeks till release, wont want to spoil the experiance with a demo anyway.

Thats my thoughts gtech. By the time the demo is out, I'll probably already have the game on its way to me from Play!!!

The demo needs to be out now and I cant see any reason, given that the games gone gold.

Thats the problem with the PC version of any game now...longer development cycle due the combinations of drivers and systems that there is for the platform.

Started downloading at 8.30am - I'm still only at 56% - snore.

I started at approx 5pm last night, seemed to finish about 11pm ish.... Not good. Had no time to play due to my 5.30am wake up for work.

It so was. I played the demo for about an hour, just took my time - didn't even complete it.

Wow. It really was quite amazing, and soooo System Shock 2, which is a great thing.

One thing I was surprised about now I've seen a few in-depth video walkthroughs of early builds of the game is that it seems very linear, which goes against the main aim of the game according to the videos. Maybe I didn't get deep enough into the game though, I imagine the start is linear to help the player learn the game mechanics and controls, and then later on it gets bendy.
