ScreamRide...a demo?? O_o (2-17-15)

well this is a breath of fresh air, a breath of fresh air. a company actually putting a game out to the public(as a demo) beforehand for them to have some actual hands-on time with it instead of practically making them blindly purchase it off of hype on release. there's been too much hiding this gen. Companies hiding every little bit of the game they can, or having an embargo in place that stays active basically until the night the game is set to release. seeing a dev team confident in their work is nice to see.

ScreamRide crashes onto Xbox in two weeks, and if the above launch trailer has you curious to see just what happens when you hurl pods full of explosives at buildings or build terrifying coasters, you can actually start creating and destroying because the ScreamRide demo launches on Xbox Live starting at midnight tonight.

Available on both Xbox One and Xbox 360, you can try out each of the three career modes in the free demo (the full game features over 50 levels in the campaign plus a robust level creation editor). Want to test your awesome twitch action gameplay skills by steering a coaster car directly through crazy mazes? Then strap yourself in the cockpit as a ScreamRider and ride a coaster through the labyrinth of twists and turns. For a change of pace, you can play as the Engineer and strategically plan how to build the best coasters with the provided tools. Finally, once you’ve mastered riding and creating, tear it all down by playing as the Demolition Expert, where you skillfully fling pods for maximum screams and destruction.

Already available for pre-order in stores, ScreamRide’s digital pre-order and pre-download also go live today. As you prepare for launch beginning March 3^rd, use the demo as practice on your way to becoming a five-star-earning ScreamRider, Engineer and Demolition Expert, earning as many screams as you can!

i hope some of you all try it out. and i hope more noteworthy games start receiving demos.

hey do you remember this:

"6. Free Demos – for Everything

No longer will you need to rent games or download huge files in order to try out a new title you’re interested in. Sony has revealed that every game for PS4™ will have a demo version you’ll be able to access online with one press of a button, which will be instantly playable for a period of time. What’s more, when you buy games online, you’ll be able to play them right away, while waiting for the whole thing to download."

they didn't even release the free version of DriveClub until...smh. anyway, the game(ScreamRide) looks fun to mess around with. enjoy.

stop hyping this crap no im not buying it and i even own xb1 NO I DONT WANT THAT CRAP U CAN HAVE IT microsoft stop it enough is enough make a bloodborne or something

I think the game looks interesting and a demo may sway me to purchase the game.

Cool info, will try it out, thanks.

Cool, will definitely try it out. It reminds me of Coasterworks on dreamcast, i always used to get the cars to fly off the tracks on that game just for fun.

Didn'y you have a X1 and play MCC?

calm down kid, lol. the game isnt ur thing...and that's fine. so what, don't try the demo, don't purchase the game, just don't. thats your decision here...but some people do like games like this and are looking forward to it. if the game doesnt sell one copy, let me know. Until then just relax...ur spazzing out over nothing.

besides, i'm hyping the practice of releasing demos for games moreso than the game itself with this thread. jesus lol.

GOTD (Game of the Decade).

I'd like the see how this game really plays. If it plays out ok, wouldn't mind seeing this on the PC.

Meh a game from frontier. Its gonna suck.

Looking forward to trying this out tonight

looks like fun in short burst's

lol, dat protoss meltdown. I thought you were a die-hard Xb1 fan?

Looks like it can be fun to mess around with depending on the price and demo.

*Purchases another Early Access game* What's a demo? o.O

Tried the demo. It was OK. The three modes are kinda forgettable. The only thing at all impressive was the physics destruction but the game suffers from poor framerate. Some of the humor is decent.

Definitely bargain bin material.

@tymeservesfate:

I don't know if I will like this or not so YES I will be downloading the demo tonight. Thanks for this. And as for that last bit on ALL GAMES WILL HAVE DEMOS ON PS4...................LOL. By gamers for gamers after all

This game is $40?! Looks like a $15 XBLA title. I wouldn't mind getting it if the price were right, but not for $40.

lmao gotta give the lems something before the holiday bundle buyers go totally feral from the buyer's remorse.

ur welcome, its nice to have a little demo to mess around with on a cold winter night i say.

and yea, that was funny. i expect cow outrage over Sony's false promises any day now...i'm sure of it -sarcasm-.

Still looks like a $5 physics game to me. Enjoy your 30 mins of fun with this one lems.

Eh, it was alright.

Highlight was the demolition stuff, but I'd rather just boot up RF: Guerilla then.

Played it last night, cross gen graphics but overall its actually a fun game. The game could get addictive in a way that the theme park games did.

I predict it will fair better than the Order.

Destruction and construction modes were noticeably more enjoyable than the actual riding which was a fairly pedestrian affair, if you ask me.

<b>lemz hyped this a 8 to 9. if they don't get this score its screamflop or flopride! the graphics on this looks like a wii game. no not wii u but a wii game. this gonna flop hard imho facts</b>

^ He mad

Will be picking it up, after playing the demo.

Played the demo. It's really fun but priced about twice as much as it's worth, that being said, most games these days are.

in what hype thread? care to link us to it? living in that fantasy world where you claimed the order was GOTY material? LOL its so obvious you are asshurt about that

in your opinion facts..makes your own statement sound stupid.

After the demo, i'll say 7 at most and no way am I paying $40
