Available on both Xbox One and Xbox 360, you can try out each of the three career modes in the free demo (the full game features over 50 levels in the campaign plus a robust level creation editor). Want to test your awesome twitch action gameplay skills by steering a coaster car directly through crazy mazes? Then strap yourself in the cockpit as a ScreamRider and ride a coaster through the labyrinth of twists and turns. For a change of pace, you can play as the Engineer and strategically plan how to build the best coasters with the provided tools. Finally, once you’ve mastered riding and creating, tear it all down by playing as the Demolition Expert, where you skillfully fling pods for maximum screams and destruction.

Awesome, looking forward to trying it

[backflip10019]

Awesome I'll definitely try it out!

 

[Ramenman]

[Auto-Reply]

Looks like a fun experimental game.
Kind of like the game...what was the game with the Rollercoaster crashing through hundreds of people? There was a gif somewhere.

 

[Ramenman]

In case you missed, it, footage from a month ago (not footage from the demo) :

Actually it might be the demo, who knows, but I don't want to misled anyone

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Talk about stealthing it out. Is the full game released soon? I actually thought this was one of the more interesting games at their Gamescom conference last year.

March 3rd, according to gamefly anyway.

 

[Rocketz]

Didn't even know it was getting a demo. Will definitely download it today.

 

[R3TRO]

I forgot about this game but will DL the demo.

 

[clockpunk]

Excellent - really been looking forward to this game, and a demo will likely seal the preorder deal! ^_^

Isn't it sad how demos are now seen as an unusual call, and celebrated... ... ...

 

[JaggedSac]

Cool, will grab it.

 

[Auto-Reply]

Destruction looks cool at times... makes me wish there was a physx version for pc

Spoiler

no portbeg

 

[GHG]

Cool.

Will check this out later then.

 

[Smutpeddler]

I'll grab the demo, it looks like fun to me

 

[big_z]

they talked about screamride on rebelFM and it actually caught my attention so ill check this out. apparently this is using a simple version of the destruction being used in the upcoming crackdown game.

 

[Feindflug]

I'm kinda curious to see what this game is about so I'll probably try that.

Hopefully MS will release a demo for Ori as well.

 

[T.O.P]

Totally forgot about the game lol

Will give it a go

 

[no maam]

This game makes me want a blast corps remake.

 

[derFeef]

Thanks for the heads-up - will try for the destruction.

 

[danowat]

Blimey, a Demo?!?!?! they are rare things these days!

 

[Poodlestrike]

Sweet. Will download.

Also glad to hear there's a campaign, not many sims go that way these days.

 

[Angel_DvA]

Yeah, that's cool, I really like demos, there is not enough of it in this generation, gonna try it.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Wasn't expecting a demo, and two weeks before release at that. I'll definitely try it out and see if it's worth the $40...

 

[HeliosT10]

What a pleasant surprise!

 

[GTSweet]

2 week prerelease demo out of nowhere? Great news! I'll definitely give it a shot.

 

[Brudinho]

I´m probably not buying this game , but I will check out the demo
But it seems like Microsoft will let this game die , no advertising/marketing so far

 

[Triggerhappytel]

(Apologies in advance for going off-topic)

Blimey, a Demo?!?!?! they are rare things these days!

In all seriousness, they really are. I don't have an Xbone but I got a PS4 last month, and the first thing I did was go onto the PS Store and look and demos to download, and the list was ridiculously meagre. Looking on the web store now there are 10 demos; four of those are Lego games, three are EA Sports games and the others are Thief, PT and Destiny. Last gen when I got a PS3 and 360 the first thing I did in both cases was to go on to the marketplace and download loads of demos each.

 

[Footos22]

If anything like the zoo tycoon demo. Then i wont even need the full game after.

 

[Alx]

Nice that there is a demo. I would probably not have bought the game on its concept alone, but if I can try it I will give it a chance.

 

[Steverulez]

Edit nevermind

 

[JimiNutz]

Will definitely check the demo out.
Not expecting to pick this up day 1 as it comes out pretty close to Ori but may pick it up at a later date if impressions are good.

 

[Oppo]

Wasn't this game supposed to have CLOUD POWA...?

 

[mike4001_]

Yeah it kind of depends if it´s a "dumbed down" experience like Zoo Tycoon or the builder and other aspects are rich this time around....

Initially my interest was piqued, as I used to love creating extreme coasters in RCT, but the text above has my a little worried.

To me, it sounds like it could be a pretty shallow collection of three minigames, rather than a fully fleshed out "game"

 

[Alx]

No, you may confuse it with Crackdown, which had a tech demo that is reminiscent of the destruction in Screamride.

 

[Neuromancer]

Sweet! I hope the 360 version isn't too bad.

It's not a "Tycoon" game, but Frontier is working on such a game also:

I didn't think it would be a fully fledged "Tycoon" game, more a rollercoaster simulator, but I don't know, it seems like it's got shovelware written all over it.

 

[cheezcake]

This seems like a game that would mesh well with VR, create crazy coasters then ride them yourself.

 

[glaurung]

No, you may confuse it with Crackdown, which had a tech demo that is reminiscent of the destruction in Screamride.

Most people speculated that this would benefit from the Xbox One's mystery cloud-computing technology. But as far as I can remember, the developers have never mentioned any kind of cloud support for this.

 

[statham]

coolio, this is the type of game that needs a demo, will try it out.

 

[E92 M3]

What a great surprise! I am looking forward to this game.

Edit: Is it on the marketplace yet? I want to dl it before I get home.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Is there a way to download the demo to my console from a web browser so its ready when i get home like I can do on PS4? I am a new Xbone owner. Still need to learn the inns/outs

normally you can, but I am not sure its possible to get demos from the web store for the xbox one, unless someone can educate us both!

Yeah, this looks fun. Can't wait to give it a try later.

As long as they include some vomit bags with the game .....

 

[Rosur]

EU or just US? I might give this a try as liked it when it was announced.

if i remember correctly ken lobb said its using a toned down version of the crackdown destruction and because the scale is small enough they simply used a few cpu cores to do the computing locally. the destruction in crackdown will be much bigger.
