Has anyone heard or read if there will be a PC demo of Dead Space before it's released next week?

I doubt it, now a days demos are few and far between. I guess its a great spook game, so I might just get it.

The word on the street is that the controls are pretty screwy.

Maybe I should wait and watch the PC review before I go out and buy it for the PC.

Demos are definitely a thing of the past, it's a pity cos most people want to see how it runs before they buy, another excuse for pirates.

PC Zone mag reviewed Dead Space this month and said the mouse/keyboard controls were unresponsive and slow. They still gave the game a great score (high 80's from memory) but advised the use of a 360 controller.

That really sucks. That's why i have a PCWii combo. I don't like using traditional game controllers. I'll wait for more reviews especially from GS and IGN (pc versions of course).

Don't hold your breath on the PC dead space review from gamespot. I doupt there will even be one, if there is, it'll be in a month or something. As far as their concerned now, they reviewed the console versions so thats the game reviewed and done with. Sucks doesn't it.

IGN though, I expect they'll get a review up within a few days time. Released Monday isn't it?

Only problem is even though they did release a demo for Crysis, the game was still majorly pirated. Funny thing is I don't know anyone who actually pirated it. Of course maybe it's because most of the people I know don't know how to pirate anyway.

Demos for the PC versions of games normally come out a few weeks after the release to retail. I would look for it then. Mark my words. Bwahahahaha. :)

Just don't wait for Gamespot's PC review, cause that probably isn't coming.

since when?

Since Dead Space.

Since Red Alert 3.

Since Fallout 3.

Since Crysis Warhead.

Since The Witcher.

Since Call of Duty: World at War.

 

Kudos to Valve for giving us the rare option to play a game before we buy it with Left 4 Dead, even if it was only for a limited time.  Demos just seem rare to find anymore.  And it's a sad thing, as all the games I listed above are must-buys for anyone with a remotely decent gaming PC.

If you are on dial up. ;)

Anyways, I think a demo is common courtesy and should be expected, and it helps TREMENDOUSLY in the purchase decision making process.

Just because a game recommends 18GB free space, doesn't mean the actual game is going to take that much.

You're right.  I had no idea there was a demo released because there's been so little talk regarding it.  Good catch there!

The only common problem with the controls is a bit of mouse lag with V-Sync turned on, if you turn of V-Sync in game it plays very well. (If you need V-Sync to prevent screen tearing like I do, force v-sync with your video card driver. I used the Nvidia control panel.

This thread points for the need of a demo. Most of the thread has been negative. Who wants to rush out and buy a game worth 50 dollars to find you do not like the game because of something as simple as the controls.
