WWE 12 Demo, In Stores Only?

[Steve_OS]

According to Captain Starball, the WWE 12 demo will not appear on XBL or PSN. It seems it will only be available in some retail stores.

It appears as if there will be no demo released for WWE '12 on the PSN and Xbox LIVE according to THQ.

A fan asked WWE '12 Creative Director Cory Ledesma if it was true that WWE '12's demo will only be featured inside retail stores by saying "In store demo ONLY?? To quote The Miz: Really?? Really? Really? Really? Beyond lame if true.."

Cory Ledesma responded:

"I dont make those decisions. At least it's in stores."

Ugh. Very lame. All big games should have demos today.

I don't understand the point of this.

I'm not to surprise about this. No demo last year. So not to disappointed about it. If you want to see what it is like before it comes out. I don't think it would hurt people to go to the store and try it out.

I saw this earlier and could only find a bunch of bull. Not the Brahma kind either. Appears there's no demo at all so I didn't post it. I couldn't find an actual source anywhere.

For real, no excuse for no demos nowadays. If I hear a game has no demo, then my immediate thoughts are why, what do they have to hide?

no demo = no buy from me. I'm not going to waste my time looking for a store that has a demo of this game so i can stand in the store and try it out for 5 mins and try to make a decision off of that. And i don't buy a game i don't try and i don't rent games either so looks like this game is a no buy for me. Next time give us a demo to play around with so we can make a better judgement on the game.

yea when i hear a game isn't releasing a demo it throws up red flags to me as well. Its like they're hoping no one tries the game out and then wrestling fans just catch the trailers during WWE on tv and then they blindly go out and buy a game without trying it.

Maybe they just figured most everyone's money would be spent anyway?

OH! I get it now.
They can play it in the store when they're waiting in line to buy MW3,BF3,Skyrim,SR3,AC Revalations,NFS the Run,MGS HD,Halo HD,Dance Central 2,Goldeneye,LOTR,Lego Harry Potter,Uncharted 3,UMvC 3 and whatever Nintendo has for the Wii. It's about futures. So when they have no money to buy it straight away it's no problem. They'll think "hey I'm done with these games,I remember that game I played when waiting in line,I think I'll trade these in and get it" maybe even a price drop by then.

So I am in Africa, where am I supposed to find a retail store?

I don't get developers these days. Here we are talking about the potential of having entire games, DLCs and whatnot available solely digital yet on the other hand we have a store release only Demo?

[Gramps91]

I plan on getting this game as they're FINALLY focusing on gameplay and controls which hasn't been good since SVR 06. However, I am EXTREMELY disappointed there is not going to be a downloadable demo. I'm not going to be able to actually get it until Christmas and I wanted something to hold me over.

Neither do I.

They were talking about this on the WWE 12 forums but it wasn't confirmed until now.

Seeing how WWE 12 is supposedly a revamped game and "bigger, badder, better" you'd think they would give people a chance to experience it prior to the game's release.

I don't think it would hurt people to go to the store and try it out.

Not everyone lives in the States.
