Rockstar on Grand Theft Auto 4: don't count on a demo |
Ó
The wildly anticipated release of Rockstar North's Grand Theft Auto IV (Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360) is inching closer, but according to a Rockstar representative, that doesn't mean we can expect a demo anytime soon.Talking to Video Gamer about a demo for GTA4, Rockstar's rep said, "I'm sure there won't be [a demo]. If there was we would have talked about it." This is due to the game being popular enough for people to know what to expect, which is an open world where players can do a lot of things.
"I don't know that the demo is worth the time and effort. Also much of GTA4 is the driving around and we wouldn't be able to give out the whole city," Rockstar's man said. He continued, "we would have to give away half the game for free. People would think Liberty City is a tiny city. You run into problems."
Another promising reason why a demo isn't necessary is that developer Rockstar North would rather spend every minute to make Grand Theft Auto 4 look great. Testing a game before considering it for purchase is common nowadays, but we must say this is a good call. No fun roaming around a limited area in Liberty City, right?

for a demo. the game is coming soon anyway.
True. It'd suck going around a limited version of a GTA game.
They don't want to release a demo cause more people will find out it's just another rehash and they would cancel their pre-orders.
If they did obviously it would be limited, and the other areas of the city would be locked, but they know people would find abother way into those areas so theys be able to do all the messing about they want and leak all the information they didn't want to get out until the game was out. thats off course unless they litterally took the other areas out, but that would be abit complex I think.
wasnt it kind of obvious this game wasnt getting a demo?
I might pick this up just for the hell of it, but its not my type of game really.
