EB Games\JB Hifi & Game - AFL Live demonstration dates and discussion

[Demon3]

I went to one of the demos of the game at chadstone the other day but i was thinking, what is the point of doing it.
Is it just to get more people to buy it.

Why not just release the game now. It doesn't make any sense to me.

Its not like these blokes who made the game are going to get feedback from people who played the game and thought various bits sucked so we should make changes which would take ages.

I just wish it was out now so i could play it, cant wait till 14th april or whenever it comes out.

It's just a nice way to show off the game to anyone. The game isn't going to be released for a while because it has to go through MS/Sony which takes time and then needs to be put on discs and distributed. The idea of the tests is to allow people to go down and give it a go before they buy. Given the past AFL titles being pretty average its not a bad idea to let people play the game and see that its a totally new game that is a lot better than past titles.

I'm hoping for a playtest in Albury or somewhere closer than Melbourne so i can go have a look. Can't see it happening though

Is anyone here going to the play @ JB Hi Fi Chadstone today?

 

[scullman]

i went to chaddy today and played it today. Was definately better than i expected. Still a few areas that need to be worked on but overall not that bad.

Tomorrow at frankston, what is the play time?

Must.Preorder.Today! Have read all the posts and watched thevideos whilst drooling and feeling rather warm downstairs. I rekon it is our duty to spruik this to all and sundry so we can have years of updates and improvements. Just imagine in a couple of years of that and the scope for improvements. I really want to see drafts/ franchise included one day so I may buy a few for Christmas pressies.

Just got back from Norflands, this game looks killer. It would take at least a couple of goes before you get the hang of it, when you do it starts feeling like a real game of footy.

The goal kicking system is very good but what I reeeeally liked were the ruck contests.

Very good job by BigAnt.

Re: EB Games - AFL Live demonstration dates and discussion

I'm most certain Ross said he will be there from 10am till 2pm.

I'm still not sure if I'll go considering I've already had a shot of it. Has anyone else been more than once?

Yeah i reckon it might. Lucky i have a pretty big store!

We are sending a webmail out to everyone on our WA mailing list telling them of the opportunity to play it, so the more that are there, the more orders i (and other stores when the customers head back to their local) can get
