THE BADGER: Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Hey yesterday when nobody could see the new threads one said that they had the new demo for SW:BF on PS2. They said it was out on OPM and it came out yesterday. Does anyone know if this is true? I went to wal-mart and i did not find the new one yet.

TK-8252 Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 There was then a follow-up thread saying that it was a hoax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SITH_ShadowCat Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 No hoax, there really is a demo out! But there is of course a catch, you have to live in the UK. Uk got there latest OPM magazine which came with a demo disk containing a 5 min playable demo set on Endor. The person who called it a hoax was just an ignorant noob who heard something about a demo but failed to research it proparly. US will get the same demo in the next OPM magazine which arrives 9/7/04, lets hope someone from the UK can post more info on it. While doing finding out the scoop on this demo, people that have it said some stuff about key features that may intrest you guys like the Rebel sniper still has the disgues kit! No further information was revealed, at least none that intrested me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindsey Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Yes, It was I who first posted about the demo, but wasn't until later I learned it was only in the U.K. Luckily we can play the demo here soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_XII Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 A possible noob question, but what does OPM stand for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE BADGER: Posted August 15, 2004 Author Share Posted August 15, 2004 LOL. Official Playstation Magazine. Awesome to hear that, thanks guys!!!! I'll be at the news stands on the 7th. LOL I can deal with a 5 min. demo for 2 weeks until the whole version comes out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singard Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 I'm planning on getting the XBox version, but I'd definitely get the OPM demo just to play the game in any form. Can't wait until the 7th, even if it's just for a 5 minute demo ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SITH_ShadowCat Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 I'll forward all the information that the people who have played the demo have. Rebel Marksman has the ability to disguise themselves as the enemy!!!!!! When I am in disguise the enemy don't shoot me until I blow my cover by opening fire!!!!!! However my brother watches my screen so he kills me whilst I am in disquise!! What a cheat!! I've found out that rather than pickup health and ammo powerups from the floor, there are some defenceless droids that give you the powerups if you stand next to them! On the Endor map me and my bro took control of all the outposts in 2 minutes 53 seconds (the demo has a 3 minute time limit), after winning you are taken to a screen which shows the stats of every player and AI bot. These stats display your accuracy, kills, number of deaths, favourite weapon, favourite vehicle, favourite class, the longest time length you survived, the guy that killed you the most and the guy that you killed the most. However after I counted the number of people I found out that the battle was 25 vs 25, whereas it is supposed to be 32 vs 32. The AI is really good. You can go off the map area and it continues forever except you get killed after about 10 seconds and you get a warning that you are off the map. There is indeed wildlife on the maps. On this particular map I have come across birds many times and they even get scared if you shoot them. As well as ducking, crouching and laying on the floor you can roll from side to side. The fights are intense at places but you really need to be at the right place to witness the intense epic battles! Also the map was just about the right size, not too big, not too small, this is an element of the game that I was originally worried of! As soon as you die you pick which class you want to be, which spawn point you want to respawn from, then there is a 3 second countdown then you are respawned! Some information that I didn't quote was that the demo was also multiplayer(split-screen). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtuosis Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Wow after hearing that information I really cannot wait for this game. Hopefully it's as good as that said it was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE BADGER: Posted August 15, 2004 Author Share Posted August 15, 2004 This game sound better everyday!! I can't wait, It sounds like Lucas and Pandemic have outdone themselves! Ohhhhh yeah..... and if anyone out there lives in the UK I will happily send money (paypal) if you would mail me a copy of the new OPM with the star wars battlefront demo DVD. I live in the US so postage would be around $10 or so, and I'll add a few more bucks to make it worth your while. So how about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtuosis Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Man this is one stupid question, but do UK games work on US PS2's, I heard that games don't work like that in some countrys and you need a special mod chip for them to play import games... I'm not sure I could definetly be wrong, just wondering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Strike Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 I thought they said in an interview or something that there was'nt going to be a demo? :jawa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anders^on Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 They said the following: ''As for a Demo, we would like to try and send one to the populace around our release date in September, but only if the full version of the game will not suffer from the distraction'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdtech Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Wish I had a PS2. Do you only get 5 mins on it, ever? Or can you just restart it over and over? Cheers, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtuosis Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Damn I really wish september would come now. I just reserved my copy today, I really do think the demo can give me my fix until it finally is released! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindsey Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 As a professinal PS2 user, I know this: UK games wnt work on US, and so forth, all consoles have a region code and only games from that region work, unless you had a modchip which is pretty useless in my opinion, just wait till Sep 12th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaebginn Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 dont u mean 21st? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'll have to wait till Sept. 7th. But how do you know for sure? Have you tried it, or did someone just tell you that. Oh and jdtech...it's a demo so you can play it over and over again.
