Demo Roundup: May 8th, 2012

Hold the line

Written by DavieMarshall on 08 May 12 at 13:35

This week's demo round-up brings just two new demos for you to sample. First up is the Spec Ops: The Line demo which lands well in advance of it's planned launch date in over a month's time.

Download link

The demo begins with a Delta Force recon team, led by Captain Martin Walker, infiltrating Dubai six months after a cataclysmic sandstorm destroyed the city and left it buried in ruin. Chaos ensues as Delta is pulled into the middle of a civil war. Walker and his team must fight their way through the unpredictable war-torn city to find the man at the heart of its madness – Colonel John Konrad.Spec Ops: The Line is set for release on June 26th for North America and June 29th for Europe. For further details, check out this previous coverage

Secondly we have a demo which launched last Friday (just to be awkward), Kinect Star Wars.

Step into Star Wars and experience a new galaxy of physical gameplay. Pilot a starfighter, race speeder bikes and even become the ultimate Jedi. Stomp, roar, grab and throw Stormtroopers as a powerful Rancor Monster, or speed past rivals to become a Podracing champion. Even dance for your life as you entertain Jabba the Hutt and other characters, and enjoy more adventures by yourself or with friends.

Alright, this is a demo I'm totally checking out.

I checked out the Sniper V2 demo last week, and loved it, so I'm hoping this one continues the trend of "something a little different" in shooters.

I did the same thing last week w/ Sniper Elite V2 as well. Liked it so much I went and purchased it. The slow mo' sniper shots showing the head, eyes or other organs getting blown to bits is great!

I was also really impressed with the Sniper demo. I don't play too many shooters, so I'll wait for the price to drop before buying though. As for Spec Ops, this one should be fun too. The focus on a strong narrative and characters is a nice change, since so many (most, perhaps) military shooters don't have much of a story at all. Queuing up the download tonight.

I've been on the fence about Spec Ops, so I'm glad there is a demo

Good Spec Ops Demo...but why no campaign co-op? After Binary Domain the next game...hope this isn´t a new way of making such type of games.

I had no idea Spec Ops was coming out this soon...I liked one of em on PC back in the day, but something tells me this will be completely different.

Glad to be hearing good things about the demo because the multiplayer Beta sucked balls.

Figures the Kinect Star Wars demo came out on Friday, the fourth, as it was Star Wars Day.

May the Fourth be with you.
