Everybody, look at the majority of amazing games that you waited a couple years to come out aside from Batman Arkham Asylum. They didin't even recieve a demo, you might have been bumbed about, but not even then were you complaining so much as you are here just for the anouncement of the demo. And geusse what we'll wait atleast a week or three before the demo even comes out online. Rocksteady and Eidos have been doing a tremendously amazing effort to keep the consumers satisifed with plenty of information, screenshots, and videos of this game and now unfortunatly everybody here is geting really greedy.... You'll get the demo the same time you would have even if it was announced in the beggining of the month, just the announcement was moved closer to the actual release date of the demo, and IMO Eidos and Rcoksteady took out several painful weeks of people complaining the demo is so far away. They will release the demo whenever the feel like it, for now be satisfied with other info, screen's, and video's of the game. Last edited by SammiiDoogles; 07-20-2009 at 06:07 AM.

has anybody played soulcalibur 4? remember the big fight about ps3 having vader and 360 having yoda? they made a $%%% load of money off the exclusives!!! Later on they added vader for 360 and yoda for ps3 and everybody was like hell yea! Joker is cool being exclusive right now but they said he will NEVER be available in the future. why not? all games die out but if you drop DLC like Saints Row2 or Fallout3 it'll never get old! I love the joker man! But i think it would be cooler if they gave us harley... just a thought...
