A BoM demo for ClOD users

[andrea78]

Considering the last declarations, IMHO it will be nice if a sort of "demo" will be available, at least for ClOD users.

My "fear" is the BoM will be exactly as the latest ClOD release with more contents, while a demo release could be a good method to improve users' trust in IL2 series and continue to support it.

You can wait for those of us who will buy the sequel to tell you how it goes before buying

Sorry, I'm waiting for the reviews. This forum will have many who will say it is magnificent even if it is an unmitigated disaster. And perhaps that it is a disaster when it is not.

ClOD was subjected to a wide range of judgments, mainly due to different performace that users experienced, thus a demo - maybe - can help. Moreover it can be consider as a good sign by devs!

Some other game in development made available a track file that played using the game engine. That would be nice to test how the hardware deals with the sequel, and provide interesting information to the devs about it.

As for a Demo, I'd love one, but I don't think the time it would take to produce one would be worth the while for 1C.

I would read the reviews before purchasing the next game, I wouldn't read anything in here. I remember when the game was first released and how it was our Pc's at fault and the game ran flawlessly for others in here LOL. Then there was the big confession the game was bad and a graphics rewrite was on the cards and the game would be fixed LOL. Now we are told we get the fix if we buy the next game LOL..........

Well, it has a true point. But even if I make myself unpopular with the next sentence: I´ve seen so many people complaining about how unplayable CloD is, and the funny thing is, those people weren´t even able to play the old Il-2 1946 with full settings.
And I never had real problems with this game (performance wise), off course, the sound was, well not so nice, the communications are still...well, shit...(if you have old Il-2 in mind, which communication system they simply could have used for CloD if they´re unable to make a new one.), but in terms of performance, I was always above 30 to 40 fps. I´ve had about maybe 3 to 4 Launcher.exe crashes, and the only time, the game went slightly unplayable, was with one of the earlier beta patches, when flying over London.

So my personal opinion is: If a sequel for this game comes out, I will buy it, because it can´t be worse than CloD is at the moment. And I will tell you the reasons I will buy it the first day I get my hands on it.
1.) I love the original Il-2
2.) I enjoy CloD very much, even it is not at it´s full potential.
and finaly 3.) I think, we all want a new Il-2 which goes the same way as the old one, but only better. But we only get this, if we support the developers. And I think we should support them, because I don´t see much alternative developers for a WW 2 flight sim.

But off course, a demo would be fantastic. 10 years ago, we´ve got demos for every ... game, even on CD or then DVD of the gamer magazines. Now, you have to beg for something like it, and in most cases won´t get it.
Maybe the game developers don´t want us to test their product anymore before buying it. But anyway, we only rent the software so...
(The same applies for manuals, 10 to 15 years ago, we got a game for 100 DM (about 50€ today), and got a manual with about 100 to 400 pages! Today, we pay the same, well, due to inflation I think even more, and we get a leaflet with 14 pages.

But miracles still happen... xD

Just my two (€) Cents

+1 even if some devs have trust in their products (i.e. F1 2012) and try this way to stimulate new users or bored one!
