idk im not getting shadow complex but bungie realy needs to do a firefight demo

  • 07.26.2009 3:27 PM PDT

The only game that has ever had a demo from Bungie is Halo: CE. Which wasn't even a complete game anyway.
Bungie does not believe in demos and they probably never will.
The only way you can get your hands on Firefight before September 22nd is to be famous and go over to the studios. Or to go to some special event where they appear.

That's their point. It's one month. Only. We can wait. I mean, yeah it would be awesome, but it would reveal too much to people around the Community of the game.

5 years and counting on Bungie. I feel old and worthless.

Bungie is just a bunch of people who won't release a demo just because they know they will get good sales anyways. I remember the Halo CE demo/trial for PC and Xbox. Then, though, they didn't know they would do as good as they have.

I've actually read some where that supposedly demos can hurt sales more than help. Or at least demos before a game launches. Demos can potentially push away some customers. Fire Fights sounds like it may be hard. A difficult demo could push away more casual gamers. Alot of game publishers wait till a game has sold a bulk of it's life time then releases a demo to try and persuade people who are on the fence.

Still, Halo 3 didn't get a demo. I wouldn't expect on for ODST. Not before release anyway.

Demo's can help. Anyway, not good defending ODST demo as it might put people off because that wouldn't be a good sign.

Anyway, established franchises don't need a demo, GTA, Halo, COD, Gears, don't need demos. You know you're gonna get it, letting them tease you would probably drive you insane.
