DarthDuke Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 If you look at past lucasarts games generally demos came out approximently 17 days before the retail release. The latest lucasarts PC game was Galactic Battlegrounds which a demo came out days after the retail release. Also Starfighter for PC is supposed to be released sometime next week. Since this is true, and since no demo for that has been released, I suggest that a demo for Jedi Outcast will not come out until after it's retail release.

What does Lucas Art have to do with Raven ?!? ,those guys may have their own agenda you know ?!?
+Nimbus+ Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 Raven produces it and all, but LEC will package it and stuff, I'm guessing his theory is correct, he proves strong points and well we still have to wait and see.
Rat Boy Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 I could've sworn GB's demo came out well before the game did.

Sorry, demo for gb was released like 2 months befor sale !!! I know, d/l it first day ..
CaptainRAVE Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 Well in the UK, the JK demo was released 2-3 months before the full game. The demo was released, but then the game was delayed a bit which meant it was out quite a long time before. Anyone remember that?? But unfortunatly we know how unreliable lucasarts can be........so it could be anytime. Even though that was an interesting theory. For people who cant download it I hope that the demo doesnt miss a monthly release of a magazine. That could result in nearly a months extra wait
Com Raven Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 Well, I've they make a contract with a magazine, the mag may get it before public release to ensure it makes the next issue ...
Com Raven Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 Yup !! GB took a while to get in mags, was in most cases just in second issue ...

Omne Posted January 20, 2002 Posted January 20, 2002 I hope the demo isn't uber big. Many of us are on 56k's, and can't really download a 100+ meg demo all too easily.
SlowbieOne Posted January 20, 2002 Posted January 20, 2002 You know it varies greatly The Return to Castle Wolfenstein MP demo was 66 MB, while the SP demo is 117MB. I would rather get a MP demo for JK2, rather than spoil some of the SP experience.
StarScrap Posted January 20, 2002 Posted January 20, 2002 My guess is a SP demo wouldn't give away much of the plot, but I know what you mean. After the demo, the refuling facility in JK was a drag. I just wanted to get to the next level.
Bio Warrior Posted January 20, 2002 Posted January 20, 2002 dang not that jk level ive done it so many times that its not even funny
Bio Warrior Posted January 20, 2002 Posted January 20, 2002 me too since i got my cable modem and it would only take maybe 10 - 25 min to dl
JekRendar Posted January 20, 2002 Posted January 20, 2002 I can remember back in the day, when LEC used to have the demos out BEFORE the game came out. I can remember with other companies too. Now, they come out after, that is SO STUPID! I prefer the demos, becuase I don't trust the reviewers.
Aristotle Posted January 20, 2002 Posted January 20, 2002 When LucasArts releases a demo, it's before the release of the actual game. Galactic Battlegrounds was the same way... in fact I don't think I've ever seen them release a demo after a game's actual release... always before. Course I've only been covering them for 5 years... so some might have slipped through before then.
CaptainRAVE Posted January 20, 2002 Posted January 20, 2002 Originally posted by GonkH8er Personally, I hope the demo's huge Well I hope its not. If theres too much of the actual game in it then it'll spoil the final product. Maybe if they make a sperate story then it wont spoil it too much. At least after playing the fueling station level so much we all knew what to do
Com Raven Posted January 20, 2002 Posted January 20, 2002 I hope it's a nice, big mp map with full bot support ...
Scav Posted January 20, 2002 Posted January 20, 2002 I remember that the JK demo came out maybe a week before JK did. I <i>think</i>.
CaptainRAVE Posted January 20, 2002 Posted January 20, 2002 Originally posted by Com Raven I hope it's a nice, big mp map with full bot support ... Me to, but I still hope they dont include too many bots to spoil the game. Which bots do you think they should add??
