what do you mean short? how short?

61% and slowing down to a crawl!
Took me about 10 minutes to beat it both times I played it. There's about 3 fire fights maybe 4 and 2 or 3 easy platforming sections.
The AI seems decent. They move around a lot and are good shots but I have had a couple of them just sit on top of a grenade I've thrown screaming.

Edit: demo is actually longer but the first 5 minutes of it is a cutscene.

You're just shortsighted. ...at lease the OP would have impressions. You know like the thread title?

jeez defensiveness runs high on gaf. The point of this thread is so when people are done downloading they post it in here. He made the thread so whenever the first person had it done and played they could post it here instead of the official thread, or the PSN thread so posts wouldn't be scattered all about.

like i said why are you arguing? Defensiveness is alright, but about this? Jesus drop it man not a big deal, you claimed he worded it differently I pointed out that he didn't. The way he worded it made it sound like fanboys don't exist, i stated my opinion on it, and you get all upset, really not a big deal just drop it.

edit- for the record I took it wrong when I read it so I agree my comment was wrong. I thought maybe he was just a gamer who loves all consoles and didn't realize the presence of fanboyism.
I just syaing that you misread. Your the one who brought it up. You were saying that everyone in here was a fanboy. Peh.

sounds like heavenly sword in terms of having to do combos, like the aerial combos in HS.

so did it meet your expectations? AAA or not?
i think it was on target with my expectations. can't say if it's AAA or not because for me that'll depend on if the story delivers and how the gameplay evolves later in the game. the potential is there.

my main worry for the game before the demo was that it was going to be too easy. that's no longer a worry -- you gotta be careful about your positioning. enemies can come from all sides and they make an effort to flank you. pay attention to the environment and check for explosive barrels etc.

i do hope the melee system is relatively deep. i'm hoping for a variety of combos that are useful. since enemies still shoot at you when you're engaged in melee, i wish there was a "human sheild" combo :p.

some parts of hte demo could have used some music. drake makes comments when you kill people etc and they're fine, but sorta weird if that's all you are hearing.

Is that your TV? Why does it say Drake's Schicksal, if that's a US demo?

If it's region locked I'll be pissed...

More likely it is a bug. I doubt they tested the US demo on Pal systems. If it really was region locked there would be something else than a text asking for the disk. This just seems like sloppy QA.

Thank you, that's what I said on the first page as well.

Yuh I get that when I'm in a jungle. I always think "not enough music". Are there monkeys?

where in gods name did i say that? I said FROM THREADS LIKE THIS you can tell bias exists, and it's plain and simple YOU CAN. Jesus, I meant exclusive game threads, like uncharted, mass effect for 360, mario galaxy for wii. Bias runs high in exclusive game threads period.

it's always like that when i'm downloading a demo from the us stores. most time the demos are already translated.

I bet they couldn't include music files or sound files in the actual demo kinda like heavenly sword also, where the sound would cut out or just not be there sometimes, maybe they cut it out in order to lower the size of the demo? Maybe i'm just talkin outta my ass.

24% after like half an hour...... hurrrrrrr.....

I'll be back to post my ME TOO impressions in about 2 hours :p

EDIT: By the way, anyone having a discussion over the "bias" comment is a serious douche. I'm sure 99% of GAF is like WTF are they bickering over???

There were quiet places in the beta as well - no music, and when it finally kicked in, it was epic.

Okay

Sony hates Europe!

It's confirmed.

:lol

I expected it to happen eventually. I think they wanna launch the demo at the proper time so that hype can build in time for the game. When motorstorm launched months before it came out... I didn't even care any more once I put the game in, and I didn't even realize until I played. This is radically different since it's a month away, but even with ninja gaiden sigma I was definitely going to get it after I played the demo, but by the time it came out I didn't care anymore.

You're starting to make me angry. I'll set the barralama on you!
 
yep seems we guys are screwed, Screen turns Black and changed from 1080 to 720p and just becomes BLACK!

so much for Region free PS3!

more impressions:

the sound design is great. stuff (bullets etc) seems to sound like it would in a forest. when you're near death, it's hard to hear anything -- i think the near-death effects did a good job.

there is water in the demo -- first thing i did when i saw it was roll in it to get all wet :D.

a lot of satisfaction for shooting people. there's thick blood and they are very reactive. after getting shot i saw one enemy holding their arm as they tried to shoot me with the other arm. headshots are great.

explosive barrel and grenade ranges seemed spot on -- things died when i expected them to and i was safe when i expected to be safe.
