Thanks again for hooking me up!
Can another gaffer use my dummy account to get the demo? If so, once I'm finished with the download, I will send my dummy account info to someone else.

70% and 7 minutes for me
Wait, is it not possible to just DL in background now? I don't get how things work in PSN anymore.

Stuff you grab from the store can be. Not sure how this is being delivered, though, but if its from the disc, I doubt it.

It downloads the thing inside an own app. Improves the download time apparently.
That sucks! These poor two Gaffers that bought Ascension can't handle all these requests lolGrizzNKev said:

Anyone wanna help me out?
Well, thanks for trying. Also thanks anyways to Order for the PM. Also, sorry Rumba, lol.
I'll continue begging now: anyone want to set me up with the demo? I got a dummy account ready and willing!

each dummy account should be good for 2 people, since you can't deactivate it.
Also, I don't think you have to wait for the whole download. I think you can just download the initial installer, log out, pass the account, and start the actual demo download on a different acccount.

This is a very streamlined demo. I can tell it was crafted specifically for showing the game to new players. Which is fine, of course.
Audio Question
Preface: I am playing with stereo headphones, and the game is set to "Stereo Headphones"
Others gaffers that have played the demo, can you close your eyes and tell where the infected is in the room?
I had mixed results.
- The first Clicker that attacks you and initiates a QTE, it doesn't matter if you press the button or not.
- When Tess gives you the supplies for a bandage, you hit the select button, and the game has already highlighted the Medkit crafting selection for you. You don't have to move through menus to find it and select it.
- The "Replay Last Encounter" is perfect if the player dies during the demo, they can just reload it right at the battle. I wonder if this will be in the final version.
- If you press the square button during the opening cinematic you can toggle Subtitles on and off.

When I was in the room that has the single Clicker, I could get a pretty good sense of the enemies direction when it made the clicking noise, but when it did it non-aggro yell I couldn't tell what direction it was coming from. That yell wasn't very directional for me. It gave me no real clue where the Clicker was.

I love how the water coming off the building reacts to Joel if he stands in the flow. Nice touch.
The controls feel good. It feels very precise with the slightest pressure on the sticks.

I would be forever great full to someone if they could hook me up with a account to dl from. US please. PM me if you can!

thanks.
Did it easy with a $.50 off code for redbox and downloaded the demo.
Great sequence, stood under the water for a bit to see how it could react. Walking though the building and seeing the pooled water was a nice touch too. Felt very uncharted with zombies; can't wait to dig into the story.

This shit feels nothing like Uncharted

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
For anyone not having luck getting their paws on the demo...
Listen, no guarantees (I'm pretty busy tomorrow) but if you take the time to create a dummy account and pm me the details, I will check in the morning when I get up and try to get the download sorted for as many as I can before I have to head out.
I'll try to get through whoever pm's me, but if time gets in the way, first come, first serve.
This won't be until tomorrow morning US east time. Going to bed for the night. Sorry you all had to wait an extra day, but I guess better late than never!
edit: If you PM me details and then later get the demo, please let me know you no longer need it, thanks.
Anyone who says this is like Uncharted, well... I can pretty much ignore their opinions on anything related to gameplay mechanics for the rest of time. haha

Sucks to hear about the demo share, but I figured it was going to be locked down fairly tight.
The crafting? Anything in red is needed for the item. When you pick up items it shows the symbol it will add to, and once you reach a full circle you'll have one of it. So the scissor looking thing is needed for a melee weapon, but you need more than one piece to fill the circle, if that makes sense.
I don't think you can do it on more than one account.

I guess it does, I was just confused why there were different square blocks, some being blank. But seemingly you don't need to fill up every block to do certain upgrades?

I am so bummed that this demo is the same I played in March. Oh well, 13 more days until the wife hates me.

I like that melee weapon is always bound to square, so you never have to select that one at least.
That's why they must pm their dummy accounts. I've already done it 3-4 times tonight for other people. But to make sure it works, has to be a fresh US dummy account.
You only need one finished block of each, it has multiple blocks because you can hold that many.
Oh, I get it. Though that sucks that the people nice enough to share have to do all the work, haha.
I shot and my melee'd my way through the ending scene in the demo. Stealth tactics be damned. Maybe it's the way the engine runs, the way the characters move across the terrain that reminds me of UC2 and UC3.
Sent you a PM. If you don't get around to it, then no worries.

Great. Before I can even start GoW:A it wants to download 4 fucking updates at an embarassingly slow rate. GG Sony.

Haha, same thing just happened to me. 4 updates for GoW: A that are probably mostly for the multiplayer.
But the download for the LoU demo is moving pretty well.

Yep, I managed it on Hard mode after some head scratching. Once you know how it's ridiculously simple. I even recorded it. I love the stealth in this game!
