My take on the latest demos released

[shorty920]

I didn't like crysis that much. It's not for me. I can see why some people would really enjoy it though. And I don't see how some people like Haze. Haze was pretty bad in my opinion.

Wow, some one liked the HAZE demo O.o

[Dan]

This is amazing.. People actually like Haze...

Wow.. How can you think it looks good?

Or in one scenario, I went invisible mode and hid in a dumpster and sniped. Then some twat threw a grenade in, and I didn't get out in time.

Oh yeah, and one time, killed someone with a drill press that I threw.

I never said it was Crysis nor did I say it was Far Cry. I said its like a mix of the two which in my opinion it is. I liked the demo.

Haze was ok. To me it was just another FPS. I finished the demo and thought, "well what now?". I don't agree that the graphics weren't good. They looked pretty bloody good on the 42" plasma I played it on. But it was still an FPS and it's all been done before.

Bourne was an interesting one. It started off kinda like Fahrenheit did, with the interactive cut scenes. But Fahrenheit did it better.
The second level was a little better, but the aiming was too touchy. I've never been good with console shooters and this game didn't help. But the atmosphere and presentation were unreal. It felt like a movie and was quite tense. It's a pity I couldn't enjoy that movie feel in the first level due to having to focus on the bottom area of my screen in case a little icon popped up telling me to press X. That pissed me off more than anything. I'd be getting into the cut scene only to realise that I've been arrested because I didn't push a damn button!

Grid, well I played a couple of races at Bennie's house tonight. It looked like a bit of fun, so I'm downloading the demo now so I can get a more informed opinion.

I tried the Haze demo last night and I actually enjoyed it. I was expecting to not like it given the mass negative posts towards it, or at least general apathy, but I thought it was alright. Sure, it isn't going to be the PS3's flagship title but in general I liked it. The nectar I wasn't too fussy about, personally I preferred shooting without it but clearly it's an integral part of the game. I'm not sure whether the fact my favourite genre is FPS helps my liking it, probably, but I think I'm gonna pick this up when it comes out on Friday.

On the bloody Bourne demo - I didn't get to play it. It took an age last night. I got through two episodes of Survivor: China and Harry Potter OOTP and it was still only at 50%. Now, I don't have the best connection admittedly, but 360 demos I can download fairly quickly. Earlier I stuck it on again and came back literally 2-3 hours later and it couldn't get past 63%.

I played Grid for a while yesterday. I am SO buying this game!!!
The drift mode is fantastic (made better with the demo car being an S15 Silvia.. GO THE NISSANS!). The actual grip races left a bit to be desired, but that's ok. I'm gonna get this game for the other features.

^ I might have to retry Grid again. I didn't like the game at all when I first played it.

I cant wait for Grid to come out. There are so many stats in this game. Everything you do in this game is recorded on the stats.

I've finally played the Bourne demo and personally I thought it was excellent. It felt like Bourne, the music was obviously there, but the fighting and the sequences fitted perfectly.

Although I didn't like the having to look out for what button to push next bits, but I think I could get used to it.

One thing I don't like is the shooting though. It feels awkward and very unnatural.
