Crash Bandicoot 4 is getting a demo, but only for those who pre-order the game digitally



Crash Bandicoot 4 is getting a demo, starting today, but it will only be available for certain individuals. Activision is offering a demo that contains three levels and two playable characters, though you can only access the demo if you pre-order the game digitally on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. The demo's levels include Dino Dash, Snow Way Out, and a level where you get to play as Cortex, in his own variation of Snow Way Out. If you can't get your hands on the demo, you'll be able to play the game, when it launches next month, on October 2nd.

So to get access to the demo, something only useful for undecided buyers*, you need to be so confident in the game that you pay for it in advance? In what world does THAT make any sense?

*And the very impatient, I suppose.

The only effect this could possibly have is to make some of the people who preordered it change their minds and cancel their order.
Why call it a "demo" if it's not going to be publicly available (and they will get shit on for it)? Why not call it "exclusive preview" and make it sound like they're giving people a bonus?

So then if someone want to play a demo, they must first pay for the complete game... not a very smart business model there I'd say.

Anyway, that game series has never been something I'm aking to play at all, but the racing one on the PSX was a very good one I must say, too bad all the next iterations were just crap.

Seems like a dick move from Activision, no, wait, it's normal of them lol

Hope the game gets pirated.

Is a PS4 game, of course it will get pirated, even if you won't be able to play it in a hacked PS4 until they find out a new workaround. Because the game will most likely require the latest firmware update.
