Public Demo? : Othor Games

» Fri May 27, 2011 12:42 pm

So Ive been looking at this game for a couple of weeks now and I see how this game could be awesome but i also can see how it could just be another OK game..So before i preorder it I would like to play it and see how it really is. so the main question is will there be a public that you can download from Xbox live? And if so when will it be released? Ive looked around for one but found no info on it.

Demo possibility seems up in the air right now. The game is still in alpha last I heard so seems like plans for that aren't tops on their list right now. If they do make a demo I would assume it would be a few weeks before the games release. As for a release date its currently set for spring of 2011. No specific date though.

I am all for a BETA like they had for REACH so we could test the hell out of it and break it and then the DEVs fix it up before release, I mean if the online component is that big there definitely should be a beta add perfection minus having it in house - we'd find all exploits and weapon balances quicker - but who knows.

I agree, betas seem to be very valuable, it certainly was to reach in any case. I heard that SD will only be doing a closed beta though for family, employees,friends,etc. Of course this could change but that's the last I heard on it. Its a shame really I think open beta testing can do a lot of good and Brink is already shaping up to be pretty excellent, so why not do all you can to make it that perfect diamond right?

Exactly, this was a smart move by bungie to do that beta. It also will get the whole community involved making them feel like their a part of the process of building a solid game and they would leave with the knowledge of knowing the game won't be broken or unbalanced because people abused the system to the point you nip the problems before they even begin when it's released.

There is no plan for a public beta or demo until such times as SD chooses to announce it.
