Share your thoughts on the demo in the comments.
As for The Darkness, there were a few problems with the game that could have jeopardised the game’s release date next week. They pulled people from the demo over to the main game to ensure it would be in-stores in time. However the demo is being submitted this week for approval, which is hoped to take two weeks, meaning that a demo should be with us in July. Some good news for those not waiting for the demo:
Now, for all the doubters and non-believers in our midst, your purported reasons for why the demo is delayed are laughable at best. Woe be to you who’ve written that we are “afraid” to post a demo on Xbox Live because of the competition from all the other demos on there. Or those who thought we are intentionally delaying the demo because you think the game is overhyped and that the demo will show how allegedly bad it really is. When the reviews hit next week you will be lucky if I let you polish my shoes with your tongues. We get the review scores early so I know what they are already. You’ll have to wait until then before everyone has self-posted evidence of how big a fools you all are.
Seems the review scores are going to be good. The game should be shipping next week for those picking it up.
Thanks to Jellyman for The Darkness update.
Seriously. The people at Microsoft must be the crappest gamers on this planet. 2 weeks to walk through a level?!
And Sony as well…
they have to try stuff on different consoels with differrent TV’s and settings otherwise there’ll be people using 4:3 SDTV’s (for example) complaining they can’t see the whole screen or people using a certain resolution can’t see the screen at all etc
I just want the fuckin game already !!! There is nothing else to play !!!
TWO WEEKS!!!!! thats a bit much……
Who is that quote from? Thems fightin’ words!
“…polish my shoes with your tongues….”? lol
I too want the game now but I want the game to be as close to finished as possible. We don’t want to have an unplayable game for weeks while they work on a patch, right?
Props to the developers for that great quote!
Hey, Jellyman here! Check out the Darkness MYSPACE for the full unedited version of the note!
Got the game on preorder so not bothered about the demo really!!!
I call bullshit. Wait for the reviews people, and maybe even the demo.
Demo Schmemo I’ve been waiting for this game since it’s announcement.
Do you think the dev’s got a little ticked about people trashing their IP?
THIS IS STARBREEZE!!!!!
” THIS IS STARBREEZE!!!!!”
Nuff said.
the people who think they are bullshitting are the biggest bullshitters themselves because they cant wait two weeks for a game FOR CHRIST SAKES IF YOUR GONNA PICK ON A GAME PICK ON HALO FOR TAKING SO LONG TO FUKKIN COME OUT
now its nuff said
Surfing Penguins, man i’m glad that demo isn’t coming to Europe.
As for the Darkness, its blatently going to be immense but i’m gonna read the reviews before i make any sort of decision.
not my 4king money!
imo, the darkness really doesn’t look that good
Yeah it does look kinda boring but il rent it before i give my final judgement
So what`?? is the game still set for 29/6?
