Which games did this?

some examples off the top of my head are games like dragon quest XI, triangle strategy, live a live, octopath traveler 2

wait for the remake

that's what I meant lol

really hoping it’s good tbh

I heard 2 was a really good remake but 3 had kinda polarizing stuff

im p new to the resident evil franchise tho so im enjoying both

2 remake is one of my favs, 3 remake i think was just a little misguided in some aspects. but capcom a track record has been insane lately so i feel like there’s more reason to optimistic than not

Video games have gone crazy because we used to get demos and all sorts of s*** now we stuck with preorders and battle pass lmao

Switch demos are goated for that

Havent tried one yet that didnt transfer data

The last non japanese demo i remember is Prey 2017...

Which was in 2017 lmao

@op

RE games are only like 10 hours long usually

American gamers are hyper critical so why would every game drop a demo that is possibly buggier than people would like . Also it takes development resources to create a demo , e3 presentation , beta . The better question is what recent game do you think needed a demo where it would help both the developer and gamer ? Wo long has a demo that transfers progress

Lmfao nah just drop

Demos are always a positive fully unless its ass which then they should havethe foresight to not release it, a demo js not that strenuous on a regular team especially if youre talking major developers. A smaller team that less than a dozen most the time makes it, these major studios have hundreds & western demos were normal until 2017/2018. Fairly around first half of ps4 era and was a dime a dozen in the 360/ps3 era.

Western developers basically do-do demos still tho, its called public betas & private alphas.

Man I used to play that MGS3 demo religiously

Even major developers if a demo is buggy or not accurate representation of the game then it hurts them . Also in the case of most major developers that is still time you could be working on the main game . Demo is a separate build or at times vertical slice . I’m saying there are few cases where someone is on the fence and vertical slice drops or demo that makes them preorder . It’s great for indies . Triple A yes it’s big studio but making a polished demo cost money . Same way you have crunch or working more to go gold you have to make a demo , preview , public beta. Them street fighter betas have been near flawless but a lot goes into that

I say this as someone working at a game company right now .

Chaos theory demo

Steam refund policy is basically demos for everything

a good lil demo 2 weeks or so before it drops especially for a great game so you get even more hype ooh gotta love that

Games can have day 1 patches and we accept them . You can’t patch a demo . Like essentially they do make demos for many games they are just only shown to journalists who are critical but know more about how the game making process . If you give everyone access to a demo 2 weeks before you risk shooting yourself in the foot . It has to be a perfectly polished portion of the game .

Possible though. Not logical in most cases or worth the resources versus focusing on day 1patch for the entire game and those giving you money

lol fasho. My friend and I used to play it so much that we'd just run through the level with one of the bricks you can pick up at the beginning

I remember being broke asf and replaying demos over and over again.
good times

demos are just advertising. RE7 and RE2 got loads of coverage cause their demos were so good.
