TBH, I don't think there have been that many demos on the 360 either. Been a quiet time.

I have noticed that in at least the last 6-9 months the quality and number of free demos available on PSN has deteriorated considerably. It started before PSN Plus was launched but around the time it was first mentioned.

It doesn't surprise me but its still nonetheless disappointing to see cynical methods to persuade users to sign up to PSN Plus to get anything half decent.

There aren't many demos on PSN+ either so that's not the cause.

Blame the developers, not the shop front.

Yes I have noticed even on PSN+ the demos are fewer than PSN used to have. I have saved a lot of money by playing demos and deciding whether the game is worthwhile or not. Many games are so dire I even felt cheated out of my time playing the demo. I have deleted some minutes within downloading them.

It seems the majority of funding is gong into the AAA titles by developers so much smaller budgets for games introducing new IPs.
E.g. COD, AC, FIFA,

I have both 360 and PS3 and it REALLY frustrates me to wade through pages of DLC to try and search for any demos ... its a ridiculous way to do it

i think the lack of demos on PSN is due to the dev having to pay Sony every time a demo is downloaded.

i dont understand why the US store has a section just for demos and the UK one doesnt, i normally just log onto the US store every few weeks and see if there is anything ive missed.

ps3ud0 · 8 Dec 2010 at 20:26

Sony Europe are well known to be very lazy (sorry I mean have to deal with localisation

)

ps3ud0 :cool:

ic1male · 8 Dec 2010 at 20:27

Yeah, the EU store is embarrassing compared to the loveliness of the US one.

The EU PSN Store does have a demo section, select 'All Games A-Z' from the left hand menu, and then you have everything sectioned, third icon across is 'demos'

Don't listen to this. The main annoyance was that zombies weren't realistic.

The zombies aren't realistic, the guns aren't realistic, the characters (all 2 of them) are cartoony as hell. It's basically Alien Swarm but with "zombies" though they're not proper Resident Evil 1,2,3 zombies and they're not Left 4 Dead style "infected" they're like some crap inbetween that's neither here nor there. If you spend £7 on this you really will kick yourself, Alien Swarm is better and free.

Any PSN+ members got the new little big planet game? Its free for us and we get it a week before it gets released to the peasent PSN people. I downloaded it but not got chance to play it yet, seems like it uses move so may be fun!
