Will a demo be released?

Any words on a possible demo for psn? Or would that only be released after the actual game has hit the stores?

re: Will a demo be released?

What good would a demo be after the game's release?

Anyway, there was a demo for the 360 version so I'd say expect one for the PS3 version.

re: Will a demo be released?

Many games have demos coinciding with the release of the game. The whole point of a demo is meant to make a person play it and go "oh, I want this game". If it's not released then chances are they'll forget about it by the time its released, so many developers wait till the game is released to release demos, and then the demos give the gamer a taste of the game, and then they like it and buy the game ASAP.

So there is a lot of good in a demo after a game is released. I know that in some cases, I wont get a game till I've played a demo, or read adequete reviews, or even both...

re: Will a demo be released?

Since there was one for the original I reckon the same will happen for the PS3 version. Most likely around a week of is release.

Of course there will be a demo. Atleast I think there will be.

There probably will be. They don't have a reason not to put one out. /=

Probably, seeing as there was a demo on Xbox Live Marketplace.

But there has been no confirmation yet.

While this is true, you also have to remember there's plenty of bad demos out there, which doesn't help the "Oh, I want this..." response.

The last couple of demos I played was the Naruto one and The Force Unleashed, both to me very good which I will get at one point.
As for when a demo of bioshock will release on PSN that isn't known yet.

That's completely based on your opinion. I know that I hated the demos for all the sports games, but anyone that's a fan of the series would have loved it. The demos are meant to give people a taste of the game, and leave a thirst that should only be quenched when the person buys the game. If it doesn't leave this taste, then it's obviously not for that person. I download most demos, but I don't enjoy many of them, yet many are block busters. I played the Folklore demo, and absolutely loved it. Yet when tekmosis played it, he didn't like it too much. It appealed to me but not him. Simple as that.

That explains my point, you liked them, but I felt both were very poor. Demos are meant to make people buy the game, but it wont always suit everyone.

re: Will a demo be released?

Demos give me a taste of the game. Seeing as the demo could highlight a personally dull proposition to the player. Then that might not affect the rest of the game.

If I dont like the demo I wait for the review.

2KElizabeth the lead community manager over at 2K Games has released the news that many PS3 owners have been waiting for - the existence and release date of the Bioshock demo. Though the game has been released for some time on the XBOX360 and PC, many people have not had the chance to play it and the demo, which is to be released on 2nd October 2008 should give those gamers a first-hand taste of the game.

This games meant to be longer with some added bits which weren't in the XBOX360 version (or so I believe).
