by They sorta did, and they kinda didn't.... It's a demo by definition, yes. But for all intents and purposes it might as well be another teaser.
Essentially what they have done is released a demo that allows you to ONLY create a character. That's it. No more. No less. Bad move on their part? Perhaps not.
THQ/Volition stand to "possibly" still do right by fans with this blunder. If they allow you to port over the character that you make in demo to the actual game when it releases on the 15th then this could be quite the marketing ploy. I mean who isn't going to play the game that they just made a character for?
This would also save a lot of time on the gamer's end by allowing them to just jump right in the game with the "create a dood" bit already done and out of the way (for now).
Even though I already know what the demo is about, I have yet to play it. Will I? Probably. Should I? Maybe not. Does THQ/Volition got my "number"? The answer is more than likely.
In conclusion I would have to say smart move. And with risky, but good potential. I believe we will see more games employ this strategy more often very soon.
