    They usually don't do demos for open world games, and I strongly doubt this will be an exception.

    @Binman88: well they did come out with a demo to InFamous and that's pretty open world. I hope they do I want to try it as well, but the whole tons of army guys attacking you till the break of dawn doesn't sound to fun... I guess we'll see.

    didn't crackdown have a demo? and I know Saints Row had a demo. But I see your point, the devs would have to go to extra effort to restrict your access to the city. I don't know exactly how much effort that would be though.

    Burnout Paradise and Skate 2 both had a demo. I dunno if there's a Prototype one, though.

    Right. A demo for an open world game isn't impossible, but having played Prototype a considerable amount, I don't see how they would restrict it and what they would allow you to do in order to get a good feel for the game without giving you too much..

    @Binman88: Once again Infamous done a good job of that.

    However if we've not seen one now and they put such a late embargo on the reviews, I doubt they'll release one.

    Maybe just make the demo the opening sequence where the game basically gives you a very quick run down of your powers. You probably know what I'm talking about. Maybe even add a timer onto that so you can't run around forever. Anyways, just a thought.

    Yeah a timed demo would be a good idea with that opening sequence - kinda like Burnout's PC demo.

    an open world demo isn't the big of a problem in a design point of view, look at infamous or burnout
    but i guess there won't be a prototype demo hmm...

    I'm pretty sure I read that there was suppose to be a demo, or at least they were thinking about it.  I do wish they would make one, I want to try the game out.
