mariners2001 Posted February 27, 2002 Posted February 27, 2002 With all the discussion I've had about the demo release. Speculation tells me that there's an extremely high chance of the demo being released this Friday when LucasArts updates... Hehe... Sorry, if I'm getting you're hopes up, but it seems quite likely. Does anyone else think there'll be a demo this Friday?
simon says Posted February 27, 2002 Posted February 27, 2002 Uhh....don't get your hopes up. I think it's unlikely, because the only people who are discussing the demo are the people in these forums. It's not Lucas Arts or Raven (unless u've heard something i haven't). And Raven already said "no demo."
Eternity Posted February 27, 2002 Posted February 27, 2002 I don't think it's likey, but there's a chance. W00t, l33t, h@x0r, etc. etc. I would say in the the first couple weeks of March, dog.
Binary Posted February 27, 2002 Posted February 27, 2002 Uh, no... I'm guessing a demo won't be released until after the full game is done.
Reptar Posted February 27, 2002 Posted February 27, 2002 yea me to, starfighters demo was just released, and the game was out for about a week or two........
mariners2001 Posted February 27, 2002 Author Posted February 27, 2002 Starfighter was already released on a different system and no one was really excited about it. Jedi Knight 2 is getting a lot of hype and attention. The last LucasArts game like that was Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds and that demo was released two months before release! There's a hopeful chance.
buzzfunk666 Posted February 27, 2002 Posted February 27, 2002 Raven have stated that they first goal is to finish up the full game. They also said that a demo before shipping Jk2 is all up to LA. So with this info in mind, theres no reason to belive that there will be a demo this week.
gEeBuS Posted February 27, 2002 Posted February 27, 2002 I hope there is a demo this week or else I am going to go nuts with anticipation craziness and such. I think it is likely because JKII is getting a huge amount of press as of now and why not show off your hard work. Plus, Raven did not say no Demo, they just said the decision lies with Lucasarts. Once again, take it easy all. geeb
ps2maddenman Posted February 27, 2002 Posted February 27, 2002 I hope Raven said "no demo" but really secretly has one planned, that would be a real treat for us.
Indy4 Posted February 27, 2002 Posted February 27, 2002 i think they will realse one of the march 8 i hope its realsed on a friday SEYA

Remember that a demo would prolong the release of the game. I'm we'd all like to see a demo this week but would you have the demo this week and have the game delayed a week or two later?
Chanke4252 Posted February 28, 2002 Posted February 28, 2002 I dont care about the demo because on dialup it would probably take about a week and maybe they would probably release the full game before my download finishes.
Swoosh Posted February 28, 2002 Posted February 28, 2002 I don't really see what the fuss is about a demo delaying the realease of a game. Most of the programmers are done with their work at this point. The game is almost gold...just a couple of people could take a sp and a mp level...put the already done installer on the front end, put some readmes and graphics together, make an .exe, and release a demo! LEC is just making us wait...we'll see one soon enough I'm sure. About the game being delayed...I think the only thing at this point that will delay the game involves packaging, marketing, legal, and shipping problems. Then again, I have never worked at a gaming company...just been invovled in gaming news for a long time. Swoosh
Locke101 Posted February 28, 2002 Posted February 28, 2002 I personally would love to see a demo released. However, if it does prolong the release ofthe game. I say who cares, i'd rather have the full game then a demo anyday. I just hope that if they do release a demo, that you'll be able to play it on the zone.
Syko Posted February 28, 2002 Posted February 28, 2002 I'd rather they have GameSpy functionality, because that way more people will play it online. It seems gamespy is more popular than the zone. As long as the demo doesn't delay release, i'm all for it. What'd be really funny though is if they released a demo where u get to kill a few stormies with a blaster and you don't even see a lightsaber that'd just be mean and torturous hehe
ESE_SithEmperor Posted February 28, 2002 Posted February 28, 2002 Dear god man what kind of SICK MIND DO YOU HAVE SYKO?! j/k
The Truthful Liar Posted February 28, 2002 Posted February 28, 2002 DEMO DEMO DEMO!!! :elephant: That would be totally swank if they popped up the Demo this week!! I can't wait, Cheers
Ulic Quel Droma Posted February 28, 2002 Posted February 28, 2002 OH DEAR GOD IM SEEING DANCING ELEPHANTS AGAIN

The Truthful Liar Posted February 28, 2002 Posted February 28, 2002 Seriously, a demo would be most fitting on Friday and I hope this is true. Cheers
