PC Gamers get another slap in the chops , no mention of PC demo for Bulletstorm

[ASnogarD]

A number of sites have started reporting on the exciting news, a demo will be available soon for Bulletstorm, a eagerly anticipated title from Epic / People Can Fly published by EA.
This news is extremely exciting for 360 and PS3 players who will be able...

... wait, you heard right. 360 and PS3 players, but the game is appearing on 360 , PS3 and PC so why is the PC once again blatantly singled out for sub par treatment ?

I have no idea.

That's somewhat lame. And I liked People Can Fly too...

 

[coldshadow]

life goes on, maybe they are releasing it on pc too but didn't mention it.

1) Always give a source...
2) FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!! actually I don't really care. Firstly because I don't usually bother with demos. Secondly because while I am primarily a PC gamer, I do own a 360 and it reminds me too much of timesplitters for some reason for me to not play it on a console.

I just heard about this and I fell sorry for the PC players. That must suck for some of you guys.

As for me I'm excited for the demo and I cant wait to try it out.

Epic knows angry PC gamers will flood the internet with anti-console, vitriol filled 'Screw Bulletstorm!' threads, giving the game lots of free publicity.

Well, don't forget the PC exculsives, such as Serious Sam or Painkiller.
THEY didn't come out for the PS3/XBOX, did they? And they are one of the funniest games of the 21st century.

And once again, the PC gaming crowds sense of entitlement is kicking right in. Seriously, you didn't hear all the console gamers up in arms when the PC got that MoH beta.

How the heck is it a case of entitlement here ?
OMG those dirty PC players ALSO want a demo like the console guys have ?

Whats the MoH beta got to do with a publisher simply not dishing out demos for a specific platform on multiple games, I'll swap you decent demos for a messy beta anyday ... all those betas amount to is a broken demo with a beta escuse.

Source?

Alright, one potential customer less.

 

[Lukeje]

So does this mean that they agree with people who download a cracked version as a demo?

 

[Exocet]

Yeah...I'm not buying games before I know the game can run on my laptop.So either the demo is taking longer to release for the PC for some odd reason and I'll wait,or I'll find other ways to test it.

The consoles did get the MoH beta. Hell I played the beta on the 360.

And besides, this is a demo, a demo on the PC would be a perfect way to test how your PC could handle the game. Not to mention it would just be plain nice.

Maybe they figure PC players will buy it simply because it comes from a good legacy.
A bit cocky of them, and they may be wrong, but that's the best explination I got.

Another one is they just don't care, and if that's the case, then I don't blame anyone who doesn't want to continue supporting them.

Another generic douchebag shooter not coming out for the PC?

...good. We're a niche crowd, and we need to stay a niche crowd.

No skin off my nose... I wasn't going to play Bulletstorm anyways. But I can tell you that I don't buy anything sight-unseen anymore. No demo/trial = no purchase. Unless you're Bioware. Or just that good.
