Demo

Will there be a demo to try for this game? If not will there be a video of some sort showing you the in game features? Screenshots can only go so far especially this type of game.

A preordering period will start Monday, March 4. It will include a beta version for every customer (well, not a demo, but it's also an evaluation version).

The most likely scenario will be that the demo will be released the time of the games final release date which is September. There is no way they will release one beforehand.

It depends on how the digital download / DRM system works. With the eLicense EHM, if you installed it without a license it would allow you to play for six months in game. Perhaps FHM is the same.

OOTP has some sort of demo too.

FHM will use eSellerate, or at least I have understood this.

If they don't use elicense, will you still have more than 1 key or are we going to only get 1?

geckon · 02-10-2013, 04:16 PM

I think I remember reading somewhere that we'll be able to install it on two computers. But I'm really not sure.

RchW · 02-10-2013, 04:18 PM

That has always been the case. Not expecting this to change.

Steve4evasaints · 02-10-2013, 05:03 PM

Surely any kind of demo won't be out until near the time of the full release?

We'll get two keys:

You can install the game on 2 computers you own. You can combine Win and Mac as you wish.

As for a demo, I think it's a very safe bet that they won't release one until shortly before, or maybe after, the final release in September. Between now and then, the game will be in beta, and thus very buggy and unfinished; not something OOTPD will want the general public to demo.

That is good news, thanks Stinson. good about the Mac and PC thing too

Now that we are nearer release is there any word on a demo?
