Ayepecks Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/news/41990/Qu...e-Demo-Released Seems like it'll be a good game, but it's a very short demo. I'd also personally get it for the 360 or PS3, too, just because of the feel. Maybe it's just me, but I'm getting tired of developers who port games to the PC not give us PC-standard features like save anywhere. That's one of my biggest beefs with current PC releases.

Sethos Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 "The demo clocks in at 700MB and lasts just three minutes" I miss the good ole?days.:// Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/678772-quantum-of-solace-demo-released/#findComment-589925282 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argi Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 The demo was pretty average. The footage at the end of the demo showing the parts they left out however looked pretty good.

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted October 7, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 7, 2008 700MB for 3 minutes of gameplay? what the hell. I'd rather watch the video.

LightIdea Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 WTF? Less than 3 minutes. Oh come on, it probably takes that long to load the damn demo.

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted October 7, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 7, 2008 Well watched the video, looked like fun but that's too damn short for a demo.

Sethos Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 So I downloaded the thing and didn't even play the full 3 minutes until I decided to quit. I can't put my finger on it, game just seems ... generic. The Call of Duty 4 engine is the only plus about it, everything does feel a bit familiar but there is something about this game I don't like. Maybe it's the boring animations, how every enemy seems to fall over the ledge the exact same way when you shoot them, how many times you are able to shoot at the guy you are chasing yet nothing happens ( I know you aren't supposed to kill him during the 'chase' but why give me 30 chances to kill him due to horrible scripting ). Could be that fact that console ports just feel like ass and trumpets when played on the PC ... Oh well, skip :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/678772-quantum-of-solace-demo-released/#findComment-589925786 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smigit Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 The video looked ok imho even if it's maybe too heavily scripted. Won't dload the demo, but the game may be alright.

Richard Hammond Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Hmm cant seem to install it i just get a "1628: Failed to complete installation" error, tried downloading it twice. Anyone else having problems? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/678772-quantum-of-solace-demo-released/#findComment-589926084 Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealMySoda Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Doesn't look too bad. But I'm probably wait for a coupe of reviews to come out before I pre-order it.

Richard Hammond Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Well that was dissapointing, everything felt really clunky and awkward, im guessing cause its a simple console port. What a shame i had high hopes for this, i will probably still play it cause i love bond.

What a shame i had high hopes for this, i will probably still play it cause i love bond. Its a shame really. They know they can make a sub par game, but people will buy it just because of the name. That's the issue with games such as this nowadays. With it being the first Bond Game on PC for what? 4 years? I was hoping people would be ranting and raving about it. Oh well :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/678772-quantum-of-solace-demo-released/#findComment-589926168 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Hammond Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I think the reason it sucks so bad is because Treyarch are the main developers, the only game worthy of note they have done was Call of Duty 3 and that was rubbish. Cant blame the developers porting it to PC if the original game to begin with is crap. This given to Gearbox could have been an amazing game, but then it probably wouldnt have been out in time for the movie, maybe thats why Activision chose Treyarch because they can knock out any old crap quickly.

Ayepecks Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Just IMO, but some of you guys are being way too critical of it. It's just a short demo to give you an idea of the game. It's fairly fun, looks good and has good mechanics. It definitely feels like a console game, which is why I'll likely get it for the 360, but it's not a bad game at all.

We can't criticise from the short demo yet you can praise it, double standards much?

ThisSiteHasLostItsCharm Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I thought the demo was exciting, but I like anything to do with 007. I did experience a bit of lag when the gate blew up and there was lots of smoke, and some objects appeared to float along the ground, and a few were not solid.

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted October 9, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 9, 2008 The demo was fun and action packed. However, it was too short. I had a "WTF" moment when it ended. What happened to the demos from back in the day? Nowadays, demos are increasing in file size and decreasing in playtime.
