WWE 12 Demo, In Stores Only?

[TreyIM2]

Maybe the game just isn't that good so they are afraid if you have the freedom to play it at home over and over and over possibly getting over the initial hype of playing it and realizing it's flaws, you won't be compelled to go out and buy as opposed to be right in the store and feeling that hype of "limited play" in store play and having the ability to purchase it then and there when the full game is in the store.

I think there is a psychology to this move...

I've never heard of anyone doing this before intentionally.

I wouldn't jump to any "the game must suck" conclusions yet. It takes time, effort, and money to build a demo, and I think its more about not wanting to waste those things on one, rather than "Oh No the game sucks, no demo."

That's not an excuse either. I think Its BS.

But they still put the time,effort and money into making the demo.

What demo? Is there an actual kiosk demo or something? I thought they meant people could play it in a store like Best Buy where they just pop the game into one of their systems.

I don't even remember the last time they did a demo for this game though. Like I said, I'm not gonna assume it sucks because there is no demo. 11 didn't have a demo and it wasn't that bad. 12 looks much better from what we have seen so far.

The last SvR game with a demo was 08 and the last WWE game with a demo was All Stars. Not every country has those type of stores to buy games. I (for instance) have to import games because the only store that sells games in Uruguay sell PS3 games at $120.

I was going to buy it anyway because my brother wanted it but it wouldn't hurt ti make a demo because there a lot of WWE fans worldwide willing to give the game a try.

I assumed it'd be like the Arkham Asylum demo. There's a small demo level that installs from a disc,maybe even a demo disc or a demo code for the store to download it. I don't think they'd put the full game there to play.

Okay, I gotcha. Either way it sucks.

This reminds me of everyone flocking to Best Buys last year to play The Show.

I played a full game with my best friend when they had it there. Bastard hit a walkoff HR.

Wonder what stores they will pick

Not exactly. The demo is probably the E3 demo just with the fixes in it since then (patched). Won't represent final build anyway but will give people an idea. So not like a lot of money would go into a new demo build for stores.

Re: WWE 12 Demo, In Stores Only?

That was the other thing I was going to say. There's been demos already for months. I figured it'd be a new demo as the old bulids can be kind of shaky sometimes. Which goes back to why not just release it?

Re: WWE 12 Demo, In Stores Only?

yeah it sucks for us but it is a very smart move for them.

its a new game so to speak with a new engine and they know everyone is eager to play it. the general word of mouth about it is that its good game.

the way demos are critiqued now-a-days, especially here, people's reviews of it can only go down. i wouldnt put one out either. make people use that eagerness to buy the game.
