VanLingo Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 I don't have an X-Box, but I thought you'd all like to see this. FYE -- the music/movie store -- has a list of special features. The link to pre-order Star Wars is here: http://www.fye.com/catalog/moviesProduct.jhtml?itemId=11061332 The actual list is here: http://www.fye.com/repositories/staticPages/popups/starwars/starwarsfeatures.htm Nice. -- Lingo
tFighterPilot Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Star Wars Battlefront X-Box Video Game Demo (15 min.) ?
pink lightsaber Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 i'm with you. does this mean it is non-interactive? I hope not.
eastcoast2895 Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 on audio cd's with extras in windows media player the extra appears with a time. so i'm guessing the demo memory size is equal to about 15 min. worth of dvd material.
StormHammer Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 In my book, a demo should mean a playable portion of the game. Unfortunately some marketing machines persist in calling gameplay videos 'demos' just to confuse everyone. Guess you'll have to wait and find out... I just hope there's a PC demo released prior to the finished game shipping...
ExcelsioN Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Thats just a trailer. Notice how the 'Behind the Scenes' part with images dosen't have a time next to it.
tFighterPilot Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Episode III Behind the Scenes Preview Section One - The Creator: Finally the birth of Vader. George talks about finally bringing Vader back to the series and teases about Anakin's descent to the Dark Side and the powers of seduction in play. Section Two - The Costume: Black is back. For the last Star Wars movie ever and the birth of the ultimate villain, a new costume was forged. This segment answers some key questions: who created it? was it made for Hayden? Section Three - The Actors: Finally I get to become Vader. Key interviews with the cast (including Hayden) and crew sharing their thoughts and experiences about working on the last Star Wars film and finally seeing the completion of the Saga. (10 min.) Yes, yes it does
eastcoast2895 Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 i still think it is a xbox demo since it says xbox video game demo. if it just said demo then maybe not, but it specifically says what platform the demo is for even though the game is coming out on all ps2 and pc too. also i think 15 min. is too long for a trailer.
Gukkjo Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 true. 15 mins is a long trailer... I think it means you can play for 15 minutes...
dark jedi 8 Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 probably a small map w/a limited number of bots, just something to whet your appetite. (as malek would say).
lukeiamyourdad Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 I don't think so. It sound weird. A 15 min demo? Either way it sounds weird.
Chris Anne Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 Maybe, when they say that the demo is 15 minutes, they really mean that its actually a "making of" documentary showing you how the "Battlefront" game was made as well as giving you a non-playable sneak peek at some of the levels. It's been done before. The first tomb raider movie had a 10 or 15 minute demo on the DVD. But it was actually a documentary about the making of "The Tomb Raider Chronicles" video game. There was no playable demo.
LukeKatarn Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 If it is a playeble demo I am a happy boy because my little brother is getting an X-box for his birthday.
Gabrobot Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 15 minutes of standard play DVD video takes up 0.5875 GB or 500-600 MB. If that time is just showing how much space it takes up if it were DVD video like eastcoast2895 said, then I'd say the size is about right for a demo...and a rather large demo at that...
Sounds Risky Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 A video would get out to more people then just an Xbox demo.

Actually, 0.5875 GB is 601.6 MB Most XBOX games are pretty big, several gigabytes, so a demo must be pretty big also
Gukkjo Posted April 11, 2004 Posted April 11, 2004 I would think it is playable because it wouldn't say XBOX if it weren't. If it were some type of non-playable documentary I think they would say PC/PS2/XBOX demo so it would appeal to more people rather than just XBOX owners.
JawaJoey Posted April 11, 2004 Posted April 11, 2004 It'd be stupid to have a demo with a time limit. If they do that, then they are retarded. It being Xbox doesn't really mean it will be playable.
Alegis Posted April 11, 2004 Posted April 11, 2004 Originally posted by lukeiamyourdad I don't think so. It sound weird. A 15 min demo? Either way it sounds weird. On my "zelda collectors item" disc there is a 10 min windwaker demo. It's a demo like any other, though a bit bigger and when you have played 10 mins it stops. I do think that this swbf demo is a movie
