good news...

[Raw Kryptonite]

But which one comes out first. ;)

[Anton Yudintsev]

But which one comes out first. ;)

There will be only one demo available.
We've made two, but only one will be public.

[P-51]

Anton? Which? please be MP Please!!! :eek:

will this demo have multiplayer *crosses fingers*

[Raw Kryptonite]

Hmm, only one public...
Reviewers have played both.
I'm guessing SP will be the one so people can learn to fly. Can't do that so well in MP.

maybe the demo has both singleplayer and multiplayer?

Yeah, it's cruel world.
But releasing 2 demos is providing too much of the game for free.
The business is selling game, not giving it.

[Anton Yudintsev]

Nope.
Only one.
Guys, it is DEMO. Not free game, or limited time trial of the full game. It should work like teaser.

[guiltyspark]

ya but is it multiplayer?

because thats a more important selling point than singleplayer

I understand the reasoning. I'm just glad we're winding down to the release date. :grin:

I've provide reasons for both demos in some thread.
MP is for Flightsim lovers and community.
SP is for broad audience, casual players.

[Saturat]

I'm glad we get a demo at all, and personally I rather have SP demo! Demo a few weeks before release I think Anton said!

[Raw Kryptonite]

SP gives people time to learn to fly the plane. If all you have is MP then you won't ever get that chance and people will just get frustrated.

[Tomo]

Personally i would release the single player - reduces the amount of cheapass people who just play it over and over instead of buying the full game.

See Battlestations: Midway for a classic example of a business killing demo.

That's a perfect example.

With a demo you got to save content so that when people get hooked they've something to look forward too.

At any rate, if people ended up JUST playing a MP demo over and over it would be a disaster.

Kryptonite's point is well taken too, a lot of people are going to have to straight up learn to fly - not so easy when you're being worked over by vets. :eek:

[Kartman013]

"...rather soon..."

I am rather pleased :cool:

[Buggins]

Anton will the demo be released for ps3 as well?

[peterdegrotere]

it will be single player im shore, they go for the normal gamer, multiplayer will be to difficult at the beginning for them and for a il2 ecxpirience the single player will be better, i geus single player demo, i read in a review demo will be 1 week august if this is true?

il give u an example of poor demos
blazing angels 2 even now more people play the demo than the full game
single player is the way to go
will it be 1 mission or bits of missions put into 1?
