No Euro God of War III demo this year News
PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese
Sony has told Eurogamer that the God of War III demo will not appear in Europe this year.
Not unless you count the playable version at the Eurogamer Expo, of course, which is fast approaching. Buy a ticket! It's only £6 a day!
The only place to download a God of War III demo before 2010 will be Japan, where a sampler is bundled with inFamous (released yesterday) as extra purchase incentive. Demo codes can be redeemed from the Japanese PlayStation Store from 19th November.
God of War III will be released exclusively for PlayStation 3 in March 2010.

I hope the game itself comes out in Europe at the same time as the rest of the world (we don't need to go back to the bad old days, when PAL games were months late).

no need to worry fellow GoW fans - if you're like me, you'll probably be importing the GoW collection (1 &2 upscaled + trophies) anyway, and that disc also contains the demo.
edit: Darren beat me to it. good to see Kratos' legion is still out there

If there wasn't so much already coming out, I'd definitely import. As it is, I might as well just wait for the European release. Easy enough to download the demo from the US/Japanese marketplace though, if it goes up anywhere without needing a code.

You can pre-order the GoW Collection for the PS3 from the US and it apparently comes with a GoW III demo code. It is released in December I believe.
Is the GoW Collection going to be released in Europe? Just curious, it's getting increasingly simple to import games from abroad, I was just wondering if us 'hicks' in the EU were going to get a proper release. |

It's like Sony doesn't want to sell the PS3! The demo should come preloaded now on all new consoles so that people are more tempted to chose the PS3.
That makes no sense whatsoever. They'd have to buy the machine in the first place to play the demo, which defeats the point of it being an incentive. Assuming you mean that playing the demo will make people go "wow I need to buy this game!" instead of assuming that people will buy a £250 console just to play a demo, which is retarded. |

News: 220 die in plane crash on route to Paris.
But if they had been on the way to the Eurogamer Expo in London they would have lived! Tickets only £6 |

Come on Sony, We here in Europe have been a lot kinder to you than the US and if you keep treating us this way there will be a time when you'll find that the one market keeping you competing with MS will also abandon you.

^^ But Japan is far more loyal to the "brand" but they still get a lot of nice stuff and their PSN games actually cost less than retail too.
Edit: Well I know I won't be buying the PS4 unless there's a major change within Sony and they start treating us the same as the US at least.

Er Marshall, I think you need to purchase a Jap copy of InFamous to get the download code. Spewing - would be nice to see the demo, but it's not like we haven't got Uncharted2 to keep us going for a good while.
As far as Peew thinking it's a bad idea not waving it around as a system seller, it actually makes sense; with Uncharted being everywhere and showing the PS3 in the best possible 10/10 light right now, holding off GoW3 until that hype has died down (and to pump up sales after the customary post Xmas slump) is rather sensible. Firing off two of the biggest exclusives at the same time would be daft, and anyway, makes the terminal Xbots suffer even longer. |
