tFighterPilot Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Yes, the x-box demo will be playable, but since the DVD will be out in the 21/9/04, I don't see the point. http://www.starwars.com/episode-iv/news/2004/04/news20040420.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds Risky Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 tFighterPilot probably doesn't live in America; by 21 he means the day, with 9 the month, or September 21st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormHammer Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 Well, at least that's something. A playable demo for certain platforms is better than nothing at all. As for dates... UK = dd/mm/yyyy US = mm/dd/yyyy Best method (in my view) = yyyy/mm/dd That way you go from the largest to smallest and do away with all this confusion.

The american one is certinly the worst, since it isn't in any sensable order. Like all the american messurments... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like all the american messurments... well... those measurements are all we Americans have grown up with... we may know the other methods, but to us, they seem odd. Bottom Line: It's all a matter of perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tFighterPilot Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 You gotta admit that 10ml per cm and 100cm per m and 1000m per km makes more sense than 12 inches per foot and god knows how many feet per mile same thing for weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tFighterPilot Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 Yeah, that's because most people here (me) don't give a damn about the x-box demo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegis Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 its all from a point of view/perception as one pointed out. The babyloniers used 60, which is in some ways superior to a 10-thingy system cause 60/3 is a nice number, 10/3 aint etc...Its why a cirkle is 360 degrees, in a regular triangle (where all angles are the same) they gave each one 60, and in a cirkle you can fit 5 of them triangles which make 360 and it stayed like that (mostly thanks to the greek) and was never converted to the 10-hingy system....however pro's use 400 gon and about the demo, releasing with the dvd doesnt seem that wise after all, unless they dont release it for pc on the web...which would be dumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, much easier to count by ten then to count by 12, 6, whatever. Like the English money too...damn it's like so complicated compared to the standard 1$ equals 100x0.01$ etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastcoast2895 Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Originally posted by Alegis Gensan and about the demo, releasing with the dvd doesnt seem that wise after all, unless they dont release it for pc on the web...which would be dumb actually this is a pretty smart marketing move since the dvd and star wars battlefront are coming out on the same day, so this won't upset people who are going to really want the game since they can buy it that day. the demo seems to be used to target the star wars fan that is a casual gamer which more likely is to have a xbox then a pc to play games. it seems they are using the demo to advertise the game to people who don't know about it instead of building hype in the community.

Deeo Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 What would be much better is if they bundled the Battlefront demo with the OT DVD set. That'd be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
