Despite loving Pure, I'd already been burnt by Split/Second due to the fact that it has NO retail release in the UK and an exclusive digital release with Direct2Drive for double the amount most PC games retail for. So, having already severely limited distribution, what was their next brilliant move? Release a broken PC demo.
Holy F-ing Christ... The Split/Second PC demo won't let you change any settings, even resolution. RESOLUTION. It plays in an unchangeable windowed 1280x1024 res and with no graphics menu option - only play game or quit. Why would someone release this as a PROMOTIONAL TOOL for the game?! The whole point of a PC demo is to see how it would run... WTF?!
I guess I should wait to see how Blur turns out...
It's a shame though because, while I appreciate that Blur is probably a deeper, longer lasting experience, my love of Pure and the sheer bombastic-ness of Split/Second had really won me over before this.
