How about GTA V demo?

[rusty_dragon]

This idea looks much better than beta release. We will have something to play with and to test.
Also demo will close question about quality of PC version and performance of the game.

Sounds good

Good idea but they won't do it. I like the idea of the actual community being able to play it on their own instead of devs doing it, getting feedback and the like but it won't happen.

The games on such a huge scale I don't see how they could pull of a demo without having to take a chunk of the map out and add some severe limitations. It sounds too time consuming for Rockstar, I think. They're already struggling to keep with deadlines without demos. :p

What if it was a limited time to 'test' the game? They release it for like a day and then get feedback, although if it was done, the pirates would be swarming over that in no time, which they will anyway in March but if they decided to let us 'test' it ourselves given the thousands of differerent people with the thousands more different builds and rigs, it'd be out 2 months early which is bad for them money wise because the people who are pissed off are just going to Dl it free.

So although it would make the community happy to play it early and see if they are keeping their promise, it probably won't happen.

They could do what they did for their earliest demos - turn off all the mission prompts and just let the player free-roam for 5 minutes before the game times out.

You really want to download 65gb just to run around for 5 mins?

[Masterjedi343]

Would they want to do that though? Just for us to play 5 minutes and it time out? How long would the game itself take to DL 65 GB?

Don't know how else a demo would work then, because it would require having to download the game (or part of it) regardless. They could allow us the prologue but that wouldn't give anyone a good idea of how their system will run in the actual world.

They just need to remove content and cut map. Leave some piece of level and some tools/abilities. Not a big work.

LOL you guys are so impatient....lol seriously, requesting a demo? they might as well release the full game in the time preparing for a demo
