MLB 13 The Show Demo Not Releasing This Week

[GlennN]

I'm not that concerned about a demo for a game that has this kind of pedigree. I already pre-ordered my copy for Vita anyway.

I agree for a guy that has 12 I need a little something to see if I should upgrade because I'm perfectly happy with 12

I don't see the big deal honestly... I mean so what? The game is being released in 6 days. I've never been a fan of demos, why spoil the surprise and feel of the game? I don't know, just seems like to me, this should be a non-issue, at least for The Show. 2K on the ther hand...

I would have liked to have played a demo of the Vita. This being the second installment of that game and people wondering what changes have been made to that version before purchasing. Especially since Sony has not really put out any gameplay either.

PS3 version I really don't care about a demo as I'm sure it will be fine. I will have to see at least see some extended footage of the Vita version before I make that purchase as I don't want the game if some changes haven't been made over last year.

Agreed. I've already decided that I'm getting the game so I don't need a demo to entice me. Those who know The Show generally know what they are getting.

When a game has been this good year after year I have no issue with them not giving us a demo. They have nothing to prove, their product always speaks for itself. HOWEVER, a game like 2k should be putting out a demo if they intend on stealing or gaining any new customers at all. They pretty much just hope that Million Dollar Challenge sells the game.

I feel like that is the smug attitude they probably take when it comes to demos for The Show, anyway.

"What do we need to release a demo for? They will buy it anyway, it's better than that 2K crap."

Not that that's not accurate, but it's frustrating that most games come with a demo prior to release, yet SCEA feels it doesn't need to waste it's time.

We may still see a post-release demo. Maybe they feel that the people who have played it every year will it buy it anyway based off what they've seen, and don't want to give it all away. Whereas the new/on the fence people will get to play the demo post release and can make their decision from there.
