Need for Speed the Run DEMO

[BWX]

Just wondering if anyone else can't find demo in PSN Store. Seems to be gone.

Yes, it's expired and is no longer available for download. I was going to try it out again yesterday to find I could no longer play it! Bit of a strange marketing ploy by EA, not sure I understand the idea behind it particularly.

It probably wasnt helping sales. Its what made me decide not to purchase it. No wheel support was a bad idea.

No wheel support was a bad idea.

It's an arcade game.

Also, It even said in at least 5 places (Including the website) that it would expire 3 days before release.

EA's done that with Hot Pursuit 3 as well.. it was only out until a few days prior to release.

I think it makes it an incentive to try the game, because you won't have luxury to try it out any time you like with an expiry date... "Oh you didn't get a chance to try it out? that's what the full game is for. 👍"


No wheel support isn't a bad idea... Black Box didn't make this game with wheels in mind, and because of the awkward senstivity of the steering mechanic in this game, using a wheel would be pretty frustrating.

You aren't missing out on much, the demo seemed to be total garbage. If you haven't played it already NFS Hot Pursuit, is much better and is probably a quarter of the price.

Oh well.. not like I missed out on much. Just wanted to check it out. I have a G25 and Sim-Seat sim rig, but I would definitely play this with DS3.

Black Box should have picked a different route that Desert Hills and a different car than the Gallardo, because the cars in general don't fishtail like that.
