New demo coming (Battle of Otumba)

[Furious Mental]

Just got a newsletter- the new demo will feature the Battle of Otumba (Spanish versus Aztecs)

[hoetje]

That's already been posted mate in the 'new demo coming!' thread :)

[Furious Mental]

Oh, sorry

[Zenicetus]

It's not too late to pre-order so to gain exclusive early access to this demo, make your way over to Amazon.co.uk now!

EARLY ACCES...so this means people who didn't preorder will get it too,right?

I would assume that's the case. I live in the USA, so why would I order through the UK branch of Amazon? A demo is just advertising anyway, and I'd think CA would want it distributed as widely as possible. So this probably means people who pre-ordered in the UK can download it slightly ahead of everyone else.

I wish the demo was unscripted instead of another historical battle. That would answer a lot of questions for those of us still on the fence about the battle AI. Well, at least it will be good eye candy with all those jaguar guys running around.

[hoetje]

Anyway,I'm unsure which side you will be able to play.Probably the spanish I guess?
Also,in the full game,will historical battles be playable on two sides?It would be quite lame if Pavia for example was only playable on German side

[shifty157]

Is the demo just for Amazon UK? I preordered with Amazon US a little while ago and i havent heard anything about it form them.

[maestro]

I pre-ordered from Play and haven't heard anything. Not that I care or anything cause it'll just be another scripted historical battle and tell us very little about the game apart from eye candy

Can't wait for the full game but the demo was completely uninspiring

[antiwup]

im just going to wait for the game since its just around the corner maybe play a little bit of the original demo.

I’m angry at CA for this its not OUR fault somebody screwed over the demo release so we get a really old one them they release another one showing what the game will really be like AND THEY MAKE IT JUST FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE ALREADY BASICLY BOUGHT IT I’m extremely annoyed and I think its completely unfair to not have it released for everyone. Thanks for nothing CA you’ve acted like a real sell-out. Bundling the demo early with that pc magazine and now making us pay again to play it. No yo mention the SEE2 thing to try and force people to buy new amds or use Intel. Smells like a payoff to me… I hate when developers I really like turn out to be corporate minded creeps…

Yeah, doesn't make any sense at all when you consider they're basically in a creative BUSINESS.

BTW Amazon don't charge until they ship, so I'm sure you could visit them if you have to, inorder to simply enquire about the new demo.

The demo will be available for everyone. The preorder people just get it couple days before others.

[hoetje]

Indeed you should have read my post (it includes the e-mail from CA) before whining.We will all get the demo,people who pre-ordered will just get it a couple of days earlier...

I think you're quite right.

[Dan.o6]

Sounds interesting. I haven't heard anything from Play.com about a new demo, so I guess I'll just have to get my hands on it a little bit later.

[Lusted]

And as for the SSE2 thing, Ca have said the full game will not require SSE2, just SSE. And the 2nd demo will become available to the public about 2 days after the people who preordered get it.

Oh well at least that parts not so bad. I through that an exclusive demo woudl stay exclusive as in only preorders through amazon ever got it and the rest of the world never would. I cant order through amazon because they wont ship to australia so i had to pre order through EB games. Ill still get the cool collecters ed tho :D

[screwtype]

I hope econ starts a new thread for the new demo. The other demo thread is long enough already, and it will hopefully stop people getting confused about which demo they are reviewing.

[Basilios II Voulgaroktonos]

I think that only the pre-orderers will get the demo because i was told taht i will recieve the link and a password to download it.so i think not everybody will get this password.i have pre-ordered with gameplanet and i get the demo so i imagine that also the amazon.com give it
