&lt;p&gt;everyone stop thinking about yourself!!! jeez&lt;/p&gt;

Let me tell you guys, GTA clone or not, the game is incredibly fun. The physics engine (Havok) is incredible. It's all incredible. I have played the demo for a total of around 6 hours, and I'm not done.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://majornelson.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=130137" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Demo: DOA4</title><link>http://majornelson.com/archive/2006/07/24/Demo_3A00_-DOA4.aspx#130104</link><pubDate>Wed, 26 Jul 2006 14:27:23 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">055c7c12-9f8e-4800-85f1-aebaf66ea7d8:130104</guid><dc:creator>SidearmS</dc:creator><description>From the mouth of Itagaki himself:

"TI: There will be two modes playable in this demo: Versus Mode and Time Attack Mode. Both of these modes will feature Single Battle and Tag Battle as playable game types. I chose 5 of my favorite stages to be included in the demo; none of these stages have lost their visual brilliance, even 6 months since the game's release, and they all feature playability that can be enjoyed by anyone. There are 6 characters useable in the demo. First of all, I have of course included the eternal heroine, Kasumi, as well as everyone's favorite Super Ninja, Ryu Hayabusa. For the other 4, I chose characters that I felt beginners would find interesting right away: Lisa, Tina, Brad Wong, and Eliot."

So it looks like no online in the demo.

Wow, I just had that one question about the demo because I figured one of the ~150 replies would answer it. Lo and behold it's the same ol' recipe of "Oh about time this demo came out" -- "Where's demo for game XYZ that game has been out for 3 days wtf" -- "LOOK AT MEEE I TYPE IN CAPPS"

I'll assume the answer is no.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://majornelson.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=130066" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Demo: DOA4</title><link>http://majornelson.com/archive/2006/07/24/Demo_3A00_-DOA4.aspx#129887</link><pubDate>Wed, 26 Jul 2006 00:01:02 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">055c7c12-9f8e-4800-85f1-aebaf66ea7d8:129887</guid><dc:creator>woop</dc:creator><description>Rabble!

We need demos of the best looking games and now there's one less to miss!&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://majornelson.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=129803" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Demo: DOA4</title><link>http://majornelson.com/archive/2006/07/24/Demo_3A00_-DOA4.aspx#129780</link><pubDate>Tue, 25 Jul 2006 19:03:29 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">055c7c12-9f8e-4800-85f1-aebaf66ea7d8:129780</guid><dc:creator>HaunchesMcGee</dc:creator><description>Wow.  I must admit I was a little upset when the Prey demo got delayed, but that was mostly due to the fact that we hadn't seen much new content on marketplace for months.  The drought is over though, so I'm suprised to see so many people whining.  It's a free demo.  How can that be a bad thing?  I think it's good to see developers embracing marketplace.  Downloading demos for console games is still a pretty new concept (if you don't count the Sega Channel) and not something that most devs had to give much thought to before.  

By the way, let me be the first to say that the Saint's Row demo is disappointing.  Next gen graphics 
is no substitute for creativity, level design, and art style.  After playing the demo I went out and bought San Andreas again.  &lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://majornelson.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=129780" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Demo: DOA4</title><link>http://majornelson.com/archive/2006/07/24/Demo_3A00_-DOA4.aspx#129743</link><pubDate>Tue, 25 Jul 2006 17:55:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">055c7c12-9f8e-4800-85f1-aebaf66ea7d8:129743</guid><dc:creator>WarriorSan</dc:creator><description>Great to see all those demo's..Thanks&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://majornelson.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=129743" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Demo: DOA4</title><link>http://majornelson.com/archive/2006/07/24/Demo_3A00_-DOA4.aspx#129734</link><pubDate>Tue, 25 Jul 2006 17:51:37 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">055c7c12-9f8e-4800-85f1-aebaf66ea7d8:129734</guid><dc:creator>ThisKory9</dc:creator><description>This content is new to me atleast. I havent touched DOA4 yet. I havent even touched any DOA games so this will be a first. I was wondering when they were going to come out with a DOA4 Demo though :P&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://majornelson.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=129734" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Demo: DOA4</title><link>http://majornelson.com/archive/2006/07/24/Demo_3A00_-DOA4.aspx#129725</link><pubDate>Tue, 25 Jul 2006 17:45:24 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">055c7c12-9f8e-4800-85f1-aebaf66ea7d8:129725</guid><dc:creator>SidearmS</dc:creator><description>Check out the 1Up interview with DOA4's creator and he details the demo.

And in terms of size, the DOA4 demo is smaller than the demos for - Hitman, Tomb Raider, King Kong, Prey, Rumble Roses, PGR3, Blazing Angels, Burnout, the "New" Kameo demo, and if XBOXIC is correct, the soon to be Saint's Row demo.

As for being late, let me use the Rumble Roses demo as an example. I don't own this game, and even the demo came out late as well, I still was grateful for it. I do intend to buy this game after playing the demo. And that is the point of a demo. Every XBox Live user (silver and gold) gets this perk, so EVERYONE can enjoy a "test-drive" of a game before deciding to buy it. As soon as I can find RR cheap (under 40), I should have enough to throw down on it.

The issue I am most interested in right now is the "Coupon Rebate" problem in the XBox Live Packs (3,6,and 12 month boxes). The $10/20 coupon is no good now (they all expired 06/30/06 while everything else in the box expires 06/30/07, HUH? WTF?), and yet retailers still want full price for something missing one of the biggest things in the box. I sent Major an Email, but no word yet.

That's it.
