Still no U.S. demo, but it's available in Canada? ^_^

I take it won't be long until us U.S. folks see this then. I'm interested only because Artoon made this and they really didn't show much off on the original Xbox.

At first I was confused as to why there wasn't an American demo released.

After watching the trailer I could care less about a demo.

Artoons games have never been really big hits in North America and a few of them have not been released here. Pinobee was kinda meh, Blinx wasn't received to well on a system that mostly was owned by adults.

Their biggest game is going to be Blue Dragon. they could have spent most of their budget on that game and getting Hironobu Sakaguchi (Final fantasy writer) Akira Toriyama (Dragon ball,Z artist writer) Nobuo Uematsu (Final fantasy composer). Which is actually the exact same people who made Chrono Trigger so many years ago for the SNES.

If you may have noticed though allot of the games that look non-next-gen have been small companies that are either making their first game on a next gen system, on a console at all or are foreign companies that have not released much here.

This game reminds me alot like "E.T." on the Atari system. That's how good it is. ;)

I'm sure the 360 can handle it and I'm sure the PS3 can too. The problem is the Wii and PS2 but in this specifc case there should be no excuse. The only thing I can think of is that they didn't have a big budget becasue the 360 isn't doing the best in Japan and they're a Japanese dev.

For anyone that didn't get it you're really not missing anything.

chr0ma you have to remember some of these games have been in development for some time now and some are by low budget companies that have few games under their belt or they're releasing their first next-gen game.

Has nothing to do with the power of the 360, look at Bioshock, Gears, UT3 and other such games. The 360 would isn't having problems with those games sofar.

Low budget companies make low budget games. Some are good without the flashy GFX some are not.

This game Rain is not one of the good ones. Slow, almost impossible to stay alive as soon as a nightwalker has seen you and lackluster gfx.

Character animation sucks, their models and detail as well.

The only things I liked is the detail when the nightwalkers kill you they have disturbing faces and their body shimmers a bit and you can blow off parts of them and you see like a ghostly aura where that boddy part was.

I'm starting to see a disturbing trend in the graphic quality of Xbox 360 games lately. Everything is looking very last-gen. I'm wondering if developers are having to scale back graphics because the 360 can't handle it? Or are they just getting lazy. When I saw Gears I expected that to set a new "bar" in graphics and what the 360 can do. There has been nothing since that even looks next-gen. I know it's not all about graphics, but it's fairly important. Have you seen what the competition is working on? Graphicly VERY impressive! I have high hopes for Bioshock since I saw Call of Juarez and again looked like some crappy Xbox1 game. Here's hoping things look better in November.

Those not able to download the Vampire's Rain demo arn't missing much.Believe me.As for the Shadowrun demo, unfortunately it's broken in the same way the Hour of Victory demo first was before they took it down.It won't download the right way and gets stuck at 99% complete.Anyone thinking of downloading that one might want ti wait and save themselves the aggravation.
