Demo of Shift 2 after patch 1.03...

[GumShoe]

I think if they manage to get that last bit of lag out and fix the crashes and other small issues in the next patch (there's an extra difficulty level coming too ), I think it would be a good time to release a demo of a patched Shift 2.

That way all those who were put off can try out the fixed game, and all those who never tried it can give it a go now in it's proper state. Surely that would get the sales rolling along again and bring back a lot of those who left early on because of the lag etc.

Actually I think more games should do that. Don't release a demo at launch, but do it after a few patches, then people trying it out that weren't going to by at launch get the best impression they can to base their purchase decision on.

"In Development:

none - patch 2(3 on console) development work is complete. Submission to EA shortly."


I think somewhere else Griff mentioned the patch had been submitted.

You are assuming that the patch fixes things.

Patch actually made things worse on Xbox.

Harder AI!!!! Most the time when it's on hard IT'S HARD to the extent you're lucky to place 3rd.

Harder AI... I'd say its the same Hard that it is now BUT with the adaptive levels removed 💡 (I can't handle nothing harder than it is now... )

This game will blow anything out there if all the major complaints are fixed this time, namely the freezes and input lag.

That would be a good idea as long as they dont use SPA (like in the previous demo) and fast cars. Yesterday I was doing the only race I got left to do (SPA 20 laps night) with the BMW LMS (reward car) and the game froze on the 16 lap... previous to that I tried in a faster cars and it froze on the 2dn lap...
But wouldnt it be funny if people tried out the demo and started having freezing issues... maybe they would fix it then...

"If at first you don't succeed, try again".
This would be the 3rd version in which case, think positive.

this proverb also got me 1.5mil last night playing the game (bad driver... )
