Blue Dragon Demo on xbox live - all regions

Soriak · 07-11-2007, 04:34 AM

Part of E3, I suppose - but definitely deserves its own thread. Downloading it now, first impressions to follow

For some reason it appeared on the European service briefly then disappeared again before I had chance to snag it *shakes fist at MS*

I looked at the HD movies from the older thread and it sure does look damn good, hopefully they will fix the UK issue and let us grab it soon.

Word on neogaf is that the demo is removed everywhere. Fuckers.

R.I.P. Blue Dragon Demo, I hardly knew ye.

Man, my 360 is on repair duty at the germany tech center and I miss this. Heard the demo was badly optimized - frame rate problems, etc.

Phelps McManus · 07-11-2007, 01:07 PM

How can it have issues? What occurred in the localization process? Footage of gameplay for the JPN version already had english subtitles.

Maybe horrible english voice acting utilizes more of the CPU.

Demo is back up.

I have the Demo dl'd, they put it back up for awhile I heard today, dl'd it last night though anyway. I've had zero framerate issues, and although it is the english version.. its tolerable enough just to get a feel for the game. Anyone else play through it yet? I've only done the first dungeon, the top one or w/e, and I got owned by that second boss..

For the short time I played the demo it's fucking awesome. I did the forest part just testing out the different spells and attacks. Graphically the game is beautiful. Probably the best looking console game to date imo.

Well worth it tho.

Well, this won't go well for me but the only thing I liked less than the art style was the incredibly bland gameplay. I'll try it again later tonight but holy crap do I loathe the DBZ art style. Seriously, kill it with fire.

I actually found it hooked me pretty good, which I haven't been able to say about any RPG lately. I found it very fascinating even just the taste of 2 dungeons that the demo gives.

I'm personally leaning towards a buy for right now.

Soygen · 07-11-2007, 07:15 PM

I really liked what I saw, but I didn't want to spoil anything so I really just checked out all the menus/systems and a few battles. It was already on my to-buy list and still is.

Does anyone know if the re-released demo is any more stable than what was released early early this morning?
