Antitidus Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 They're doing a time-limited demo right? If the demo locks you out after a specific date, there's no risk of people abstaining from buying the game because they have a demo. Odds are they'll use the E3/AX/Evo demo. It's easier to add a few lines of code to it that restricts use after X day, or after X amount of time spent playing, and test that for a few days, than to make another demo where they lock out a bunch of characters. The time they spend working on the demo could be better spent making a good product. While it probably wouldn't be that hard to restrict some of the characters, it's more work than they need to do. Each character that they'd lock would introduce the possibility of some bugs, which means the testing department has to grind on that instead of the main game, right before release (the main game is probably still having new content implemented right now). Sounds like a terrible idea. The more that the demo gets changed, the more stuff there is to test, and the higher the risk of programmer time spent fixing things instead of adding things to the main game. While I agree with you on all of your points, everything you say isn't concrete though. Who's to say they wouldn't want to restrict characters even though it would require testing? I mean they are both good and bad points to both of our ideas. Yours would be: 1. Get to try out all of the characters in this build... "FUCK YESS!" 2. "I tried all of the characters, and the others don't look appealing... guess I won't buy this game." 3. Less work for the developers Mines would be: 1. Because it's just four characters, players still have a reason to buy the game. 2. "Aw, the character I like isn't in here. That sucks." 3. Developers have more work to do. Of course we can add more to that list but you get what I'm saying. We don't know what ASW values more. Do they value work efficiency, or better advertisement?
king of heart Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 please shut upI am typing with my mouth being closed from the beginning.
Sourenga Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 http://www.famitsu.com/news/201410/08063092.html Demo detailed. Sol and Ky are the only characters. Playable modes are only Tutorial Mode and Arcade Mode. They say that you can't even have a challenger interrupt the Arcade Mode to have offline versus fights >_>
kosmos badgirl Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Any info about arcade mode?, I mean, is all the time sol vs ky or do you fight other characters too ?.

TekkamanArk Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Real question is, is there a date on that demo? Does it need PS+?
Zedar90 Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Real question is, is there a date on that demo? Does it need PS+? Same as before, can be downloaded between October the 15 to the 28, and can be played between October the 15 to the 29. Japanese PSN+ required.
TekkamanArk Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 I have a Japanese account, but it's not PS+, and I hardly think a demo's worth going through the trouble, especially given the lack of content in said demo.
BlackYakuzu94 Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 It has Sol, that's more than enough of a reason for me. It's only on PS4 tho right...
TITANIUM BEAST!!! Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 ^pretty much how I feel. With Arcade being Beginner difficulty, it's basically a training dummy anyway, so Dustloop training here we come!
Kirnupiima Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 I'll take it! Still nearly two months till proper release
ElvenShadow Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 No need to bother getting the demo now for me lol
NeoStrayCat Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Well, tnx sourenga, kinda dull its really limited, I was expecting the US demo build (minus Sin/El from the TGS build), but oh well, I guess those that were lucky to try out those demo builds had a good time on those, but I can wait until US release then. (Just hoping they do the same pre-order bonus thing for the JP release like they did BB:CP with Terumi/Kokonoe P-O ones overseas.)
youcanwonder Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Wack...no vs mode even for the 2 chars...smh..BOOOOOO
White Man Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 In this scene, Axl is amazed by the uncanny likeness of I-No's Moon Over June face.
BladeOfJustice7 Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 What is this: http://www.famitsu.com/images/000/063/092/5434ba6cb7121.html A bookmark or something?
Tenj|n Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 It's a mini tapestry. Xrd finally caught up with time, Sol has high blood pressure thanks to Ky.
Epic Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Heh just like I thought - two characters. I don't know why people expected more. This is like 2D fighter demo 101. Not worth the trouble.

ThatHiroGuy Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 "I may have never played Xrd, nor am I nearly as good as Ogawa, who has played Eddie in #R, Slash, AC, and Xrd, but let me say why he's playing the character wrong despite overwhelming evidence otherwise and his over 90% win ratio" This is literally what you're saying. I hope this puts in perspective how silly you sound right now. Probably not the best place to ask, but if you live in Columbus, where exactly do you go to play fighting games? I've only ever gone to things like Season's Beatings, but they stopped hosting that, and it wasn't a daily thing anyway.

Rest in peace, Kayumi. EDIT: Oh wow, I just learned that guy's birthday was Halloween. Damn, he was born to play Slayer.
