HAWX demo is coming tomorrow!

[ChrisF]

Ok this takes the pi55. Yesterday, I went through half of the picture puzzles in Puzzle Arcade. It auto saves, and yet when I go into the game today, apparently I haven't done any of them. I can clearly see my scores on their leaderboards though! So annoyed with this thing I don't want to play it anymore

HAWX demo is coming tomorrow!

RAWX, got this as my Feb Compo choice. Looking forward to it, no idea if it will be any good or not.

Anyone know if they've given the Mirror's Edge DLC a date since the pushback?

3 on 3 NHL Arcade (800 points, 180.73mb) is up, as is Minesweeper Flags (400 points, 164.62mb)

No HAWX yet

[Dezm0nd]

I hope 3 on 3 is good, well up for some arcade hockey action but I can't help feel i'm gonna be let down

Minesweeper Flags (400 points, 164.62mb)

If this controls nicely sans mouse and doesn't give you any unsolvable grids (you know the ones, where there's 2 squares left, one mine, and there's no clue either way) then I might just buy it

[toythatkills]

Don't bother. What an utterly pathetic demo. You're allowed to play for about 30 seconds in each mode which is long enough to establish that the controls are rubbish (so. slow.) but not long enough to establish what on earth you're supposed to do in each mode to enable you to make a decision as to whether the full game is likely to be fun.

Poor.

No HAWX yet

Poor.

This has to be the worst demo ever?!? You literally get time to make 2, maybe 3, moves and that's it! lol

Quite enjoyed the HAWX demo. Not really into flight games, and after Ace Combat 6, I never wanted to see another again... but, yeah, I liked HAWX. Controls well, nice presentation, and the graphics on the terrain are nice for a change!

[SuperBeatBoy]

I thought it was kind of meh. Its a shameless ripoff of Ace Combat, down to its controls. The only new thing is the assistance mode, which is basically allowing you to play it in a cinematic camera. I thought the presentation was cheap, awful cgi characters. I usually like Tom Clancy games too. Consider me dissapointed.

The thing that stood out for me was the fact that my plane was half the size of the buildings.

That's one big MF'ing plane!!

Down to the controls definitely i do like the mode (Forgot whats it called) where you press either the RT or LT.
I might get this when its out but that depends though...
