"TIMED EXCLUSIVE DEMO"

What Could anybody gain from this is beyond me except ruining their reputation and sales.

If they Think that making it timed exclusive will make it sell more on 360, then NO! If the game is crap, then it won't sell exclusive demo or not.

Helghast Slayer5523d ago

HAHAHA it's just M$ hard at work again. Pathetic losers, they have now resorted to paying for exclusive demos...really M$? paying for unfinished bug ridden test codes? lol.

pwnsause5523d ago

lol Microsoft buying timed exclusives on Demos, no games this year Microsoft?

GrandTheftZamboni5523d ago

Yeah, MS is quite creative and generous with their business model: exclusive games, exclusive DLC, exclusive demos, early release dates... I wonder what effect directing that effort and money to hardware and software development might have?

Major_Tom5523d ago

This is a really interesting choice, I'm not sure what to make of it. Most I expect is this being a satisfactory title, why Microsoft paid for this to be an exclusive timed demo, I guess we'll never know.

Reminds me of GTA:4 DLC. Lost and Damned was okay, those of you who have played it will know what I'm talking about.

WildArmed5523d ago

I liked the DLC for GTA.
It was a good deal for the money.
But the original was waay better.. i enjoyed it but it wasnt the same quality as the game xD

But I'd recommend it to any1 who has 360 n has GTA IV

Major_Tom5523d ago

To each his own, I was part of the population who didn't enjoy GTA4 as much as the prequels.

-EvoAnubis-5523d ago

But wasn't it the Wheelman devs that were recently whining like little b!tches because they couldn't figure out how to program for the PS3? If so, then this isn't really that shocking. They could make the entire game a timed exclusive for all I care; it's not as if I'll be buying it. And no, it's not because of the comments they made, but it's because I have too many upcoming games I need to get anyway, and this one was never going to make the cut.

Johnny Rotten5523d ago (Edited 5523d ago )

They said something like the PS3 was a pain the @ss and the Xbox was a cheap PC. This is just a game to promote the movie with Vin Diesil anyways. no thanks.

WildArmed5523d ago

yeah your write.
They said 'PS3 is a pain in the ass"... but w/e. Imma just play the demo, don't plan on buying the game anywayz.
Unless its 10 bucks

ThePlaystation3guy5523d ago

DAMN YOU MIDWAY! Why must you make a demo exclusive for a GAMEE THAT I WILL NEVER BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Honeslty, I have a ton of gamer friends. I know NO ONE who wants The Wheelman. No one. Sorry Midway!

Helghast Slayer5523d ago

Tell me about it. Mediocre games will not cut it for me this gen. I need a game with the quality of ps3 exclusives that can justify why i should wash $109.00(Aus dollars) down the drain.

Ranking every game with Vin Diesel from worst to best

From Xfire: "Video game enthusiast and Hollywood superstar, Vin Diesel, has taken his talents to video games numerous times. We've decided to rank all of his games from the worst to the best."

“Ranking every game with Vin Diesel from terrible to bad”

Fixed the title for you.

Venoxn4g1017d ago

Yes it is..such a great game

bunt-custardly1017d ago

Obviously too young or ill-informed to pass judgement. Honestly, Orchard. You just mugged yourself off. Starbreeze Studios' The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay is a very well-known classic.

rlow11017d ago

Butcher Bay was great. From the prolog, fist fighting, knife fights and story. The immersion of the whole package really uped the criteria of what a cutting edge game was back then. I would like another adventure with Riddick, but it would have to be triple A status to live up to Butcher Bay.

shaenoide1017d ago

You can't you. There isn't any good game :p

boing11017d ago

Butcher's Bay, man. A classic. One of the few games I finished in one sitting.

I'd like to see another Tenchu, I miss that series

Lord_Sloth3842d ago

COMPLETELY agree. Got a 360 just for Z.

Krimmson3842d ago

Remember everyone, Sega thought it was a better idea to invest in Aliens: Colonial Marines than Shenmue 3.

ScubbaSteve3842d ago (Edited 3842d ago )

I never played the Shenmue games, but I've always wanted another Valkeria Chronicles on a main console. So I'd be happy to lend you all my pitchfork when you rise up against Sega.

Lord_Sloth3842d ago

And accidentally invest in Borderlands 1 and 2 at the same time. XXXD

Sam Fisher3842d ago

Im glad im not the only person that liked otogi and part 2

Cult Classics – Wheelman

Game Informer - When Wheelman was announced back in 2006, the project was full of promise. It had big star Vin Diesel attached along with his boutique development house Tigon Studios (which also worked on the great The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay). It was tied to a film of the same name and the stories would weave together. Over the years to its 2009 release, however, publisher Midway's financial problems kept getting worse, and the film counterpart never got off the ground (much like Midway's failed attempt to tie a movie to 2006 game Spy Hunter: Nowhere to Run). Out of all the turmoil, primary developer Midway Studios - Newcastle somehow managed to turn in a fun popcorn flick of a driving game with ridiculous, yet exciting Hollywood-style action around every turn.
