You’ll be able to get your first taste of Red Faction: Armageddon this coming May 4. Volition and THQhave confirmed that the game’s demo will be appearing on Xbox Live Marketplace and PSN on this day.

Despite the fact that Armageddon’s PC port is being developed in-house, this demo will not be making an appearance on the PC.  When asked if there were plans to release a PC demo,  Volition’s community dude J Goldberg replied with a somber  “unfortunately, no,” over Twitter.

too bad for ps3 owners.

Nuuuu, not again! :o

As a PC gamer, I must say that this didn't surprise me one bit.

Developers always getting more retarded. And I'm being kind.

I loved Guerrilla.  I can't wait to try this out.  Does anyone know if the demo is going to be single player or multiplayer?  RFG multiplayer was amongst the most fun I've had in a multiplayer game this gen.  Sledgematches ftw!

I was gonna say what else is new.  It's a new level of sad that as PC gamers we're officially used to being ignored in little ways like this.

Smart move, those wily PC folk would probably just hack the demo and turn it into the full game!

Excellent, will have to pirate it then to make sure the port isn't utterly terrible. Guerrilla was utter shit from the start (on ATI cards), but was fixed after like a year or so. Performance was okay though. Saint's Row 2 is still absolutely fucking terrible, one of the worst ports this generation. I get more FPS in Crysis 2 on maximum than in Saint's Row 2 on medium, for example.

This is why when devs bitch about their PC sales and whine about how they deserve more money for their work so their just not going to work as hard, I want them to just go fuck themselves. If you are taking the time and effort to port it in house, your WASTING your time if you don't put out a demo. PC gamers especially need demos NOT ONLY to know that the port is any good, these days, or that the game is enjoyable (just like everyone else), but also to make sure the game runs decently on their system, so you don't end up buying GTA IV on PC and having it running at 640x480, lowest possible settings, and STILL getting lower frame rate than Metro 2033 with 24x Super Sampling, crazy amounts of tessellation, etc. at 1080.

You can't bitch about PC sales and say "it didn't do as well as we hoped" when your the fuckers digging the hole for yourself. With the state of ports to PC these days, unless you have 50 (or more likely, 60) bones to throw away on garbage, unplayable ports, pirating is almost the only option for trying a game. I don't care if you put out a demo that is just a building in the desert, with all weapons, and you get to blow it up. I just want to know that the turrets don't feel crazy weird, the game performs well, and doesn't hate my video card and decide to stop rendering the water in Liberty City.

Sorry to be the angry PC gamer, but we all know that if consoles got this kind of treatment, all the CoD babies would be, rightfully, just as pissy.

Guess they don't have confidence in the PS3/PC version then.

Well that's not cool. I'm not particularly surprised though. Like others have said, we've got used to the occasional-to-frequent second-class treatment.

I shall bet 10 bucks it won't be on PSN on May 3, any takers?

So which date is it? The title says May 3rd and the post says 4th.

Sure I will download that.

no pc demo? weaksauce
