I had a big ass post for this all set and my browser ate it. So I'll make this quick.
I like what I've seen so far but I'd rather play with a controller. Demo is 3 levels and about 100MB. Get the Torrent link: http://www.aixgaming.com/filerush/ I think IGN has the demo available too.
ALSO: the XIII multi demo is out now. Grab the torrent at the same place linked above.

Im on my lunch right now so I only got about 30 minutes left. I MUST play this before I leave or else I won't be able to focus on anything X____X
We played the XIII demo over lan last night. The pace of the game is definetly more console friendly than on PC. It feels a little slow, and the guy jumps like Master Chief so I'll most likely be getting it on XBL. The weapons definetly need balancing (I was running around with a sniper rifle without using the scope. Bad times) but it wasn't bad. I just wouldn't get it on PC.
OH. MY. GOD.
That rooftop chase was AMAZING! It was so well done that I even pulled it off correctly the first time. I think my jaw was on the floor the entire time.
I don't know what I want to get it for now...I may just get it for PC and play it with a dual shock because god damn does this game look fantastic. Im sure that my PC can pull it off better than my XBOX so who knows.
I forgot how many people here don't play PC games.
Crazy, isn't it?
The game looks good, and I'm downloading the demo now. Hope it runs.
I am glad the few people who tried it, actually liked.
This is a very short demo, same levels as the ones presented at E3 2003. There should be an official demo released soon, giving the player a chance to taste the game longer. Because this demo I see on the net does not even scrach the surface of BGE. But hey, surely better than nothing at all huh?
Any input from TNL would be apreciated, positive or negative. And before people starts complaining 'bout the PC control: yes, it is being restructured. :) This was a simple PS2-port-to-PC kind of control. No real mouse and keyboard adaptation. There should be some changes regarding the camera movement in particular.
It was originally thought and designed for consoles. So obviously you will experience this game best with a controller, but nothing tops the resolution and effects found on the PC version.
I like what I see so far, I didn't get to the third level but everything looks great to me so far (great character models btw). A demo that gives us the beginning of the story would be helpful. Just by going to the sub screen it looks like there is a lot of shit to collect.
Have you worked on BGE mindfield?
What I love most about the game is that it really does have a cinematic feel to it. Too many games pass themselves off as cinematic but usually they never come close and you end up with something like Xenosaga. The interface rarely having to be popped up (In the demo at least), the effects during the chase, it trully did feel like watching a movie that you could control.
Gah..I am so in love even more now X____x

The story is told in a touching way, making you care for what happens to those surrounding you. In a Ico sort of way, you know.
Have fun with the demo, the next one will allow you to understand the beginning of all this, giving the freedom to let you explore the first chapter. More or less an hour of playtime.
rumpy: yeah, i'm working on BGE and we're almost done now. Right on time.. promise! :nod:
This thing won't work on my computer!!!!!!!!:mad:
I went to Ubi Soft's page, and it seems that it won't work on a lot of people's setups. You guys (meaning Ubi Soft) should release another bug-free version, so that I can play it!!! :curse:
