Demo for The Darkness postponed, perhaps after release

by Nick Doerr { Jun 11th 2007 at 10:00PM }

If you're a subscriber to The Darkness' bulletin via MySpace or whatever, you may have been alerted to some news that's quite the disappointment. Initially, there was planned a demo prior to release, however, that seems to have changed. The developers issued this statement, in character: "The wicked embodiment of Light and Order, the Angelus, must be corrupting the Darkness somehow because the demo is not ready."

Yes, that's exactly why the demo isn't ready. In any case, they promised that "there will be a demo. I cannot guarantee that it will come before the game releases." We keep complaining about the lack of demos and this doesn't help. We know we'll get one, but getting it after the game is released almost defeats the purpose. Regardless, we'll be happy when it arrives because we simply can't fall on either side of the fence for this game.

[Thanks a lot, Ben!]

Too bad. If the demo was anywhere near good I would have probably picked it up at launch. Guess it will depend on reviews (and perhaps a postponed demo...)

"is the 360 demo delayed or just the PS3 demo. if the 360 is even getting a demo. im guessin it is"

How about asking that on a 360 blog? ??

This seems a lot like movies who don't get reviewed in advanced.

I will definitely be waiting for the demo on this one.

What demo delayed.....lol...probably for 360....we poor ps3 owners don't get demos! I definetly know this is for 36o owners. I own one as wel as a PS3 and a Wii and we are constantly showered with demos. I love my PS3 and I ultimately want Sony to win (pause for evil take over the world laugh).Sony it is time....it is time to release your power and crush the 360. Transform into little PS3 robots and crush those 360 toasters and........wh..wha...WHAT! Yyyawnn...was I dreamin again? Damm, Sony is still chillin....waitin in the shadows. No matter, i still have my Wii and 360 to tied me over until Sony decides to dominate.
