Why EVERY Video Game NEEDS a Demo

Publicado 2024-07-03
Over the Past 2 Months I jumped into the world of Game Demos. I've played over 350 Demos and today I'm going to tell you my absolute favorites and why I believe EVERY Game should have a Demo, and should be the industry standard. Hope you enjoy!

    This has been one of the funnest gaming projects I've ever done. I've never played so many games in such a short amount of time. I've definitely broadened my gaming taste in the process. Let me know what your favorite game demos are in the comments. I'd love to check them out.

    Demos becoming mainstream will be the revival of gaming، awesome video man, this was cinema!
  • @simoncharlton3426
    I'm glad to see demos being brought back a bit. My partner tried out the Pikmin 4 demo, which she loved, and it was super long as well. I'm gonna be playing a bunch of the steam next fest demos to see if there's anything that piques my interest! Thanks for doing so much effort. This video was very well made. Love from South Africa!
  • @bsizzle7484
    Shoot after watching this video, I want demos to become more common too! I'd definitely be into playing some to test out a game before purchasing. This video looked fun to make. Thanks for sharing and putting in the hours of playtime!
  • @TheBurntBiscuit15
    Those are some great demo examples. I totally agree about demos being a better way to check if you should buy games vs game journos being wrong half the time. Great example of using that mechanism for your kids as well.
  • @camerondoyle6272
    Great Video, I can tell a lot of hard work and passion went into this project. Thanks for sharing!
  • @richhall3970
    Extremely good video. - Liked and subbed :) One I remember playing to death was the splitscreen vs demo for Future Cop LAPD on the original Playstation. A third person shooter tower defence mode that was completely separate from the main game campaign. Endless hours of fun.
  • @tragicallyfunny
    Hi, nice video! I like how it feels like you’re just chatting. I used to get the PlayStation magazine demo discs. They made like 112 of them and they each had four or more demos on them. Best deal for a kid who didn’t know what games to play. My dad really crushed it by subscribing for me
  • @BigSparky1316
    I love that you used Re2 at the beggining. My absolute favorite demo as a kid and that and RE3 from ps1 are still to this day my faborite games ever created. Very good video brother.
  • @johnmartinez1010
    No lie, I was just reminiscing having demo discs back in the day. They really played a huge role in making one’s decision to buy a game 😂
  • @thelasttoknow
    I can’t believe p.t. Is already a decade old. And they did the same thing to the matrix.
  • @PatatexJok3rZ
    I dont like demos which are the beginning of the game though . Dead rising and resident evil 5 did it right whete it was a random part of the game mixed with other random part so that you can get an idea of what youre getting into and playing
  • @Drock4004
    Well said sir. Worst demo you played?
