Now that both 360 and Ps3 demo today are out when are we going to get it? Do you even care for the pc version or even want it to sell good for pc? I dont get it always when a game is multi platform we pc users always gets demos, and then the final game last, why should console owners have such pleasure getting everything way ahead of us..

Some german sites say it should be out this week! Maybe today or tomorrow! Is that true?

Quake Wars Demo will be out on Monday. I doubt Midway will release the pc demo anytime soon. Crappy company, won't get any of my money.

You guys are a fickle bunch! wink The only words of comfort I can offer is be patient; I'm sure it's coming soon.

Do you even realise, how we have been patient for the PC Demo?! We have been waiting it for ages, but only thing we hear is that "it will come soon" and all that crap! Really, it's so frustrating, when both, XO and PS3 owners already HAVE THE 15MIN. DEMO, but WE, THE PC OWNERS are not having anything! We have been waiting really patiently for the demo, but what we will got? Only a sh*t in our face time and time again! Midway, if you hear, I'm really dissapointed, and you have just lost a good customer. I have spoken.

if you guys really want to know what waiting for a game is like try waiting 10 years for a game. Duke Nukem Forever has been in development hell for that long , TF2 for half-life has been in production for a long time as well couple of weeks is nothing.

Wow.
I have been trolling this Stranglehold site for quite a while now, and I too have been looking forward to the PC demo.

But, come on some of you people.

Would you rather have a rushed demo/game now, or a well playing demo/game if it takes a little more time?

If you want to play a rushed title, go play Tomb Raider Anniversary. I am plying it right now, and it is not the best console port I have played.

I would rather midway take their time to get it right, than rush it out the door.

Things like bad camera angles, mouse and keyboard support, screen resolutions, vid card support (incloding sli and ati dual gpu), single\dual\quad core support, multi threading, all this stuff has got to be redone when porting from console.

The way to do it in the first place would be PC first, then port to console though (hint hint Midway), but that isnt going to happen since more games are sold on the console than on the pc.

If it was a rush job, and the game was crap, you people would bitch about that too (and rightly so). So, just relax and when it comes out, it comes out.

Looks like a Dev in disguise grin
Tomb Raider Anniversary was fantastic, and got very nice performance and mouse control (no lags like Unreal 3 engine games). No wonder, because it was developed directly on the PC, and was no console port. If you write something, you should know the facts before.

And do you mean "rushed" like the buggy PS3 demo of Stranglehold?

@ Dave3d:

lol, "Tomb Raider-Anniversary a console port" grin

U should know the following if u have been following some threads:

All we want is an info about the delay and a fix-date. This is not 2 much!! Or do u think its hard 4 Midway 2 give out reliable infos? they got all the options in their hands. So it would be easy 2 give some infos 2 the community - but they dont. all infos weve got is hearsay.

This week...
submission this week...
bla bla bla

At least they don't have to get Microsoft or Sony approval to release the demo for PC. But that only means that is not an excuse they can use for it not being out yet. I mainly care about the demo so we can finally put the requirements question to rest. And to play it some, of course, assuming that my system will be able to play it, which it now looks like it might.
