Honestly, have none of you ever seen a game or content release before? Or worked at a company. There are certain things here that are real issues (the BF3 thing, the KoA cross-promotion, for example), but the cries of "You promised January!!!" are kind of silly. Things happen and releases have to get pushed back. And yes, you say "I would have been cool if they just came forward and said that" but you aren't the thousands of other folks who would burst into tears. Same thing for the "Well then they shouldn't have made up a date!" since, as you can see, that certainly does nothing to stymie crying anyway.

The best you can do is provide a projection and then readjust when you're prepared. Yes, it is a bit silly that they are behind on the official site, but gaming media likely has its own quid pro quo deal going on with game companies to assist in cross promotions.

Anyhow. Woo. Demo.

It was mostly of random reporters saying things to kinect and the characters doing said things. Then the release date of the demo was at the very end.

Hahah, sucks to be them if so! 

As for the demo, well...we've all waited this long, I'm sure a few more weeks can't hurt. 


Hope they can explain what the delay was all about.


Wishful thinking I'm afraid, dear OdanUrr.  They won't provide an explanation of something that was probably planned months ago - back when they were hinting (or outright stating?) that the demo would be released in January. 

The demo will come (assuming there aren't any issues accessing/downloading it), then it will be promptly deleted from hard drives around the globe once the game itself is released and all of this fuss would have been for nought.

Looks like the video's been pulled...good thing I saw it :P


The legit factor went up a few notches.:whistle:


Gameinformer is probably pretty annoyed that got posted early. If they signed any binding non-disclosure documents they could be in for some fines.

Would have helped if they had just told us this in November like they originally stated... Then I doubt anyone would have been upset.

Well, it is BSN...

Mostly not upset. :wizard:

Just this....

What was all the hype about soon, soon, sooner than you think, playing with our feelings ? They knew it was january for us. You want the demo in february, instead of january ? Say it soon enough and no problem, move on. What is so hard ?

I don't need promises, just be transparent, and be clear with your customers. I won't believe anymore what they say. i won't give a damn.

The trailer about Femshep ? We'll see.

I'm waiting for an official response from BW before jumping to conclusions. That is if they decide to say anything soon.

Not everybody's parents is as upstanding as yours. Meaning it is not simply for "good" reasons that they would lie. It was just an example anyway. People lie, what else is new?


I don't EVER want you comparing my parents to EA games. Or drawing any sorts of parallels, hell, even putting my parents in the same sentence as EA games. I deserve that at the very least.

I was speaking in general but you don't seem to know what that is considering how offended you're getting.

I knew the promise they made was unreasonable.

Hope they show more of the real shepard. (female version)

You want the demo in february, instead of january ? throughout the beginning of January, it was very difficult to remain calm, knowing that it was in January as promised say it soon enough and no problem, move on. What is so hard ?

I don't need promises, just be transparent, and be clear with your customers. I won't believe anymore what they say. i won't give a damn.

Yeah, that "sooner than you think" tweet was a bit of a punch to the gut. Half a month after January is sooner than we were thinking yesterday? Yeah, right.

It took longer than BioWare thought to get everything ready. I'm no loyal dog jumping to their defense, but s*** happens.


Yes but that's why you don't make promisses without knowing for sure you can stick to them. I wouldn't be upset at all if BioWare had been honnest and said "We are working on a demo, the exact release date of the demo is not confirmed and won't be until we know for sure the demo is ready and good." The fact that they said in November we would get release dates, then December, then January, then that the demo would be in January, and now February...

I'll tell you, I work at Staples and when we bring a computer in for repair and people ask when it'll be ready... we tell them straight up it all depends on how much work is needed and how many other computers we have. We say we'll simply call them when it's ready or when we need them for something. We don't give actually time/date estimates for that exact reason. My manager tells me straight up don't promise anything or give specific dates because you never know.


There were no promises made.  And you all wanted the time estimates.  If BioWare didn't give anything you'd all be complaining more.

Maybe this was a test to see how we would react to the demo getting pushed to February?..........Yeah I don't buy that either.


That made me giggle in a most undignified manner. :blush::D

But the music. How was the music?!
Also you people whine a lot. Go find a new game or a life. Just something else.

I have to say that I will probably be disappointed if we don't get a Femshep trailer, although probably not surprised.

At this rate I wouldn't even be shocked if the release date for the game itself was pushed out.

We're all mature people (maybe), we're not going to cry if the demo isn't released on January. It is true that "things happen" but, usually, when you give an estimate you try to cover your bases and give one you can be fairly confident about (because not delivering on that estimate is bad PR). Notice they never gave a specific date, just a month: January. That gives you some flexibility.

And what exactly is it that has happened that has delayed the release of the demo, or even a concrete date for it? Leaks? They're bound to happen as you approach the release date and you cannot hope to revise your entire game three months before launch. Something else maybe? Perhaps, but without actually knowing anything we can only speculate. "Things happen" is speculation, we believe something happened that delayed the release of the demo or any information regarding it, but it doesn't have to be necessarily so.

As for the "they shouldn't have made up a date" argument, well, they didn't really. They announced on November it'd be sometime on January but that's about it. Considering the game is being released (maybe) on March 6th, a mid-February demo release is kind of pushing it.
