No Need For Speed Undercover demo planned

Electronic Arts hopes to revamp the Need For Speed action-racing franchise with the crime-themed Need For Speed Undercover. The game is due out for the PC and other platforms in mid-November but in a bit of a surprise, EA has decided not to release a demo of the game. This is the first time in several years that the franchise won't have a demo released to support the full game.

The news was first broken by the web site GamingIndians.com and Big Download has confirmed via our own EA PR rep that the decision was made "not to put out a demo this year. " The publisher is apparently putting a lot of time into finishing the game (it was only officially revealed last month) and there is just no time to work on a demo. Let's hope that the game, which marks the franchise's return to a cop chasing theme, is good enough that a demo isn't needed.

a game without a demo are indeed bad newsPosted at 7:17AM on Sep 30th 2008 by Densha

Well, fact is they got scared with the negative publicity that prostreet's demo got them. Eventually, people got turned off and many did not care to buy prostreet. They just decided to not come out with the demo, so that at least all will buy it to have a look at it.Posted at 1:51PM on Oct 8th 2008 by Mohit

indeed, i believe that if a game does not have a demo that is because the manufacturer of the game comes to the relization that the game is horrible and they want more people to buy the game since there was no way to test it, oh and what was the one dude talkin about because prostreet was horriblePosted at 8:14PM on Nov 23rd 2008 by joseph

Well, hopefully Undercover is up there with Most Wanted which I thought was pretty good all around. Posted at 4:38PM on Dec 5th 2008 by Jeremy
