The MGS4 demo is currently available on Japanese and EU playstation store.

Anyone who downloaded it care to tell how is it?
In which parts you play?
Any new cutscenes?

I have it from the U.S. store and there is virtually no difference. Too me though the enemies seemed just a tad stupider but beside that there is no major difference. It's in the middle east right after your first Gekko encounter and ends when you enter the Militia's underground base. If you have the game already it's a waste of hard drive space to DL it.

Not as good as the full game, I'd imagine...

well it was pretty identical beside me playing on the normal setting but the enemy wasn't spotting me as easily as in the final product. Basically the demo was probably made for non MGS players to be more interesting in the killing.

Giving non MGS players false difficulty, but its a bit stupid to release it now...
Should have released it before it came out T_T

I'm guessing they released it since Christmas season is so close now, probably want the kids to dl it for free then ask mom and dad to buy it.

Demos are great, but best when they are released before the actual game. The demo for Lego Indiana Jones was held back until after the games release as well. Pretty ineffective marketing strategy if you ask me.

I think they released it afterwards to avoid some of the problem they got with MGS2. Since the majority of the Tanker chapter was on the demo, especially the Olga fight, more or less the whole snake chapter was revealed.

It's basically to avoid revealing too much before the release of the game I guess (which they kinda blew with all the trailers anyway).

But now they release the MGS4 demo for people who are still uncertain if they should buy MGS4.

I just played it on Big Boss Hard, and to me, it feels a bit harder than the actual Big Boss Hard in the real game.

Yeah that, but i also reckon it was because everyone who was decided on buying it have bought by now. Weather it's because they're a die hard fan or whatever. So now is the time to get people interested in it. And I know this is kinda bad to say, but this way you don't risk loosing intrest with an early demo. Lets face it, the game is strongest when it's together. The demo may have changed some people's minds.

It is together just an extract, i think its fine, gives a good indication of gameplay for interested gamers.
