Well i still have to wait a month before i can get the retail game so i hoped for a demo soon, but looks like 2 months have passed and stilll no demo? Have the devs forgot about it?

Cordite said:just a quick question: Have you guys(devs) considered posting a weekly update on the main page about what's goin on with the game? (kinda like the weekly steam updates) b/c this will probably answer questions that people may have about what's goin on...
Amerikaner said:Yes, this is almost essential imo. I dont think many of us care that you're late with updates, sdk releases, demo releases, etc. etc. but it does get annoying when we dont even know whats going on. For example, Id be willing to bet the patch thats due out "anytime soon" is delayed so why not just tell us now instead of leaving everyone in the dark?

I've told a bunch of people about ROost but if they are not typically into realism games (i.e. the excessive overkill crew,) I recommended that they wait for a demo before they buy it. Suffice to say they are still waiting.krylosz said:The problem with the free weekend is that it's very easy to miss for a potential player. Harrdcore gamers without social life will surely not miss it, but casual gamers, or any other person who happens to have something other planned for that 2 days or just didn't hear about it will never have a chance to test RO without a demo.
The Unreal Tournament Onslaught demo available is the reason I originally bought UT2004 and therefore ultimately the reason I started playing RO. If there'd been a free wekend and I'd missed that I wouldn't be here I'm all for a demo including 1 map, that is compatible with the retail game, so there's alwasy people playing it. Just like UT.
IMHO a free weekend can only supplement a demo but cannot make it redundant.
