Get your video game demo right

A good demo can sell a good game, but with Mass Effect 3, Bioware demonstrated how to make a great video game demo.

THR1LLHOUSE4849d ago

Best demos of this gen off the top of my head:
-Bioshock
-Just Cause 2
-Crackdown

The ME demo was good...I think my problem with it is more that the beginning of the game isn't all that exciting (which seems like an odd thing to say, considering what is happening during it...)

Tolkoto4849d ago

Hell yes on Bioshock. Best demo ever.

Blacktric4848d ago

I disagree about ME 3 demo being a great demonstration of the retail game. It just isn't. It shows the action aspect more than the RPG one thus making newcomer RPG players think twice before even consider buying it. Same thing happened with Mass Effect 2, especially with its PS3 launch since a lot of PS3 gamers haven't experienced the first game, they had major doubts about it and some even got bored.

I think the free unlimited multiplayer demo is what made it great, not the single player component. I think the best demo for me was Transformers: WFC multiplayer demo, was a great demo that sold me on the game.

Blacktric4848d ago

Oh I totally agree about that. I've played more than 20 hours of MP and still didn't get boredom. I was talking about the singleplayer portion of the demo.

SavageKuma4849d ago

I agree so was Kingdoms of Amalor, Crackdown 2, Naruto series, and Gears of War beta!

SybaRat4849d ago

I preferred Crackdown 1 to Crackdown 2. Man, that's a lot of crack.

ArchangelMike4848d ago

The ME3 demo had so much replayability, I put more hours into it that some full fledged games.

honkyjesus4848d ago

I didn't care for the demo at all. I am really looking forward to a BioShock Infinite demo.

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast188d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine188d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast188d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman188d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast188d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman188d ago

it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me

Loved Asuras Wrath. It’s my profile avatar for PS

cbuc1125233d ago

Hell Yeah, Asura is so bad ass!

Venoxn4g233d ago

Great game... wouldn't mind a remaster

Abnor_Mal233d ago

Loved Rain, funnily I was just thinking of it this week.

jznrpg233d ago

Definitely a good game and loved the art style. My daughter watched me play it when she was 4 years old. I’ll have to replay it with her someday now that she’s older. It’s crazy it’s been around 11 years.

Abnor_Mal233d ago

I was thinking of pulling out my PS3 super slim this winter to replay Rain, and try to tackle some of the backlog I acquired.

Knightofelemia233d ago

I love Enslaved such a sleeper hit, Asuras Wrath a very good game I still own, and I wish EA would put out a new Dante's Inferno another game I enjoyed. I never heard of the Rain game I might have to try it out might give Ebay a snoop or two.

gold_drake233d ago

enchanted arms and folklore most definitely.

theres also a game about a red haired guy and a girl who is a sword or something. good game

Knightofelemia233d ago

I think you are talking about Heavenly Blade

gold_drake233d ago

no.
its a anime game. the sword is a girl who speaks.
