Mundi Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Played the demo yesterday (burned it on a disc) and it was what I had come to expect, funny and fun to play. Keep it mind this is only the first 10 minutes of the game so nothing really epic is shown so don´t expect the demo to come full force on you but, it gives you a nice glimpse of what it is. Although, I hope this is only because this is a demo played on a burned disc but the audio lagged a bit and some of the enemies had a tendency of turning purple-ish when I used the guitar attack and followed it up with a normal attack.
ThePigMarcher Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Although, I hope this is only because this is a demo played on a burned disc but the audio lagged a bit and some of the enemies had a tendency of turning purple-ish when I used the guitar attack and followed it up with a normal attack. Played the demo a (few too many times) myself and haven't noticed any lag in the audio. There are times were it seems less pronounced, but that is usually if I rotate the camera to a front view so it could be intentional. I also noticed that certain sound clips are seemingly only supposed to kick in a specific times. Also didn't notice any lag in the cutscenes. As for the purple-ish enemies. That appears to be a result of them getting shocked by Clemantine, if you do the fire attack it doesn't appear to happen. Again, it seems intentional, but whether it is more noticeable as a result of the disc burn I can't say.
Mundi Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 The audio lagged for me during videos, mostly during the beginning. The purple thing could be a part of it all but it looked kinda like it was not supposed to be there too me.
CoolFunkMan Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 This isn't exactly Brutal Legend related, but it's how Tim Schafer first got into the gaming industry 20 years ago: http://www.doublefine.com/site/comments/twenty_years_only_a_few_tears/. It's a good read! boooo wish there was a ps3 demo! I'm sure it's coming. It'll likely be on PSN around 1st October, the same as the 360 demo...
Roostophe Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 The demo is fucking sweet! Definitely getting this now.
Daft Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 I'm thinking it might be funnier if the swear words are bleeped. Loved the demo. The gameplay was a tad shallow but it more than made up for it with regards to humour.
Ganepark32 Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Downloaded the demo and loved it. Just a great laugh. Was unsure how it'd work out prior to playing the demo but I have to say I'd be happy to purchase it now based on what I've played. Some of the gameplay clips it shows at the end of the game look awesome. Like the group of followers who go with Riggs headbanging as they walk around. So yeh, it's now definitely something I'm going to be playing. And the good thing is that it's only 2 weeks away.
Cube Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 but it more than made up for it with regards to humour. You mean they managed to make Jack Black funny? Hell has just frozen.
Daft Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Well you don't have to see his fat smug face so that's most the problem sorted.
Pit-Jr Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 This wasnt really on my to-buy list but the demo is excellent and the presentation and story is appropriately ridiculous
flameboy Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Played the demo loved it...everything was incredible about it, can't see how can justify buying this over uncharted 2 but am sorely tempted to...
dwarf Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 I enjoyed the demo but it wasn't that good. He must've been joking.
flameboy Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 I was half joking...as good as it, its not gonna compare to uncharted 2.
CoolFunkMan Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Woah, my copy has just been dispatched from Game already! O.o Looks like I could be getting it as soon as tomorrow! If I do, I'll post my first impressions of it right here.
dazzybee Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Am I the only one not THAT impressed? I mean, it got better as it went along. But it's pretty button bashy; and I didn't think the script was impressive in the slightest and thought Jack Black was mildly irritating. I liked the variety in the game play though. Prob pick it up CHEAP
Daft Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Am I the only one not THAT impressed? Most probably not.

Mundi Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 A couple or reviews have come and they are mostly all positive, except for Destructoid which was very negative of it. Will not really affect my decision to pick it up at launch though.
ViPeR Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 When that Black Sabbath riff kicked in at the start I knew I had to have it. Personally I like beat em ups so a metal version of Golden Axe should keep me entertained.
ThePigMarcher Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 The thing that is now putting me off is the amount of posts elsewhere that indicate that the game is far too short. Granted, some may be rushing through it, but seeing completion times in the range of 6-10 hours is not too encouraging (even the side quests don't seem to add much time to that), and I was hoping for something a little longer lasting, especially with such an expansive world on offer. I can't see the multiplayer having much longevity either. It's beginning to look like a case of a missed opportunity.
