Wait. So I can rent GoW later and download the demo?
I wish I could get my hands on the full release earlier than the 14. Im gonna check NY for a few mom and pop stores who break street dates. My hype is overflowing my cup runneth over.Thanks for clarifying. The countdown clock in the OP ends in about 5-6 pm local time. Hopefully I can redeem it sooner
@Dori probably so. Theres a button you just press from the GoW.A menu that takes you to the demo. Could already be on disk just have to download minor code idk.
Question: If the disc is the only thing needed to access the demo, can more than one account play it? I have a friends' copy GOW, so if I play the demo first, will he be able to do so as well when I return the game to him?
Damn, I JUST finished the game. Got to the Trial last night, but after about 30 minutes of repeated failures, I gave up and went on twitter to cuss out Sony Santa Monica. That first fight is a god damn nightmare. I actually passed it once, but died on the second stage... and you don't receive any checkpoints, so everything must be completed in one go.
After a little bit of researching, I found the answer to passing the Trial. SPAM that Amulet of Uroborus like there's no tomorrow. It helps if you've got the blades and Hades' element maxed out. I'd been using the Ice element for the entirety of the game because it gives you extra red orbs, but the Dark element gives health after specific kills. Anyway, I turned that crap on today and beat it in my first try.

RUMOR: word has it that this game has a major story line already written out. speaking with Arne Meyer in a interview i did a while back you can check it out here.

he said that they are focused on getting this one done first but behind the scenes i'm currently hearing that they are anticipating huge success and pre-orders is proof that we will see another last of us so stay tuned.

We'll see another Last of Us!?!?!?! No way!!! I kid.
Thanks for the link though. It's not surprising considering how anticipated this one is and how many preorders it has and Sony was already preparing for the future by buying the other domain names for sequels (kind of common practice though).
I don't think I've been more excited for a damn demo in my life every since the BF2 demo really.

From someone that has already played the beta demo, if the demo included with GOWA is the same build, expect to be waiting a while on the download, the actual psn download is small but when launched the downloaded game basically acts as a download manager and downloads the rest of the current demo build - took me about an hour but if the whole internets trying at the same time it may drag a bit.
No.

I've got GOW:A but wondering if I want to play the demo or just carry on with my semi blackout and wait for the release.......
Just a note: playing through the demo doesn't spoil much but it does give hints at where the story is going, and when you play back through the demo sections in the full game there's that unavoidable sense of deja vu.
Worth playing? Yes. But not if you want to enjoy the full game in its own context, I'd say.

Don't make me buy/rent/borrow/steal GOW:A just to play this demo... I said I'd be strong, but I'm weak and I love Naughty Dog.

It makes sense when you put it like that. Thanks, brain!
Looks like its the Pittsburg demo afaik.

Lol, I'll play it safe then. Hopefully someone can confirm if this demo is playable on more than one ps3 tomorrow.

Can't believe I'm finally playing this today. I've been on blackout since the first gameplay demo but I can't say no to the chance of playing this today.
Good thing there aren't any clickers in the demo, I only want to see those for the first time when I play the full game.

Ok. We need this to be clarified. Is the demo going to feature human AI? I really want it to be humans. I need to see if the game lives up to what they showed at E3 last year.

Do you need the GoW: Online pass to access the demo, or could I just borrow my friends disc and download the demo after he did the same?

I don't want to play this but the temptation is overwhelming, I gotta do it.

Definitely not playing the demo!
I'm gonna wait for the whole thing.
I'm gonna wait for the whole thing.
It's the main thing I want to test out, so I'm hoping there are. Probably won't be.
In 2 minds whether to knock off work early this afternoon. Saying that what with everyone and their mothers begging, borrowing or stealing a copy of GoW: A who don't own it already and combined with my broadband from the dark ages it would be quicker for me to wait until the 14th.

Boot up the disc and on the main menu press triangle (I think). It will take you to a TLoU demo screen with a countdown. If you can do that on your German disc I think you're golden

Okay, so the guide leaflet says to press Square at the main menu of GOW to get access/information on the last of us demo. When you do press Square however, nothing happens.
Any one else?

Oh?

Is the demo the one with the clickers that we saw early in the month around February/March or is it a completely different demo entirely
