Demo release date?

[BobbyDylan]

Soon...Soon. I wonder what the limitations will be on the demo, I remember the EU3 demo was basically limited to any of the Western European nations.

I doubt it'll be that open. MOTE demo was for Prussia, for 20 years of so.

I don't care what limits they impose, I just want to try it

I remember the CK2 demo being more open than the game at release.

Is it perhaps this article good sir?

No that's not the one I remember, but it looks like a good piece by skimming through it. The one I'm referring to is part of a series of videos on different topics done in an animated style - Wish I could remember the name of the show...

I am checking the forum every damn hour for the demo, is it even coming?

There is no reason to expect it to come within hours.

Yeah, most likely it wont hit before this Friday (2nd) at the earliest. Check back tonight at 20:00 CET as the Devs announce the last pre-order bonus (and hopefully the demo)

 

[Assalander]

It has been CONFIRMED.

But didn't sound like something to come imminently... my guess to next tuesday, 1 week before release. Hope I'm wrong and it comes sooner. Would be quite trollish to release it later than that... but better than nothing.

1 hour before release.

I don't think I'll even play the demo. With only a week to wait, I prefer just to experience the full thing a little later.

 

[hyeondrugs]

The game is out in two weeks. Who cares, teasing yourself will do you no good.

Its a mistake for PDOX to release a demo. They will only lose customers who do not like the game. Its better for them to make everyone pay the price and then uninstall if they do not like EU4. I uninstall the vast majority of video games I buy within 2 weeks. If they offered demos, I would have failed to buy all those games.

I just hope the demo give us a look at file structure for country files, event files, etc.

So I can start adapting my EU3 Age of Discovery files into EU4 material to speed up release when the game comes out.

SirMaru - they DO offer demos. They've offered them in the past, and from the sound of the latest report will continue to offer them.

It gives you time to play the tutorials if you want, and experiment with whatever nations will be available. And I'm so eager to play this game that I'm gonna install the demo even if it's released on the 12th.

 

[4TyStigma]

I am still checking the forum every god damn hour for news about the Demo, think I have lost my mind waiting for the game But I guess the will release the demo like a week before the release like the use too.

I load again CK2 demo last week to look how it was done. All files were in (events, decisions, localisation and such). Even a mod file!

Hey dude, why not read this thread before posting in, look at this video about demos above, and stop buying shitty games?

They didn't say before release, they said by the release of EUIV, so the demo comes out 13th. not 1 week before the 13th.

edit: actually I might be remembering that wrong, but my suspicion is still that it's the 13th, even if they say 'before'
