Battlestations: Pacific Demo Next Week from BluesNews!

Eidos announces plans to release a single-player demo a week from tomorrow for Battlestations: Pacific, the World War II action/strategy sequel. The demo will be released on April 30 on both the Games For Windows LIVE and Xbox LIVE marketplaces, and here's the outline of what it will offer:

"Players will experience one war through two epic sagas, enabling gamers to be a part of history or to dramatically alter it. The full game features an historically accurate US campaign alongside an historically possible Japanese campaign, spanning a total of 28 missions, five new multiplayer modes that can be played with up to eight players and over 100 air, sea and undersea units."

The full game is currently expected for Windows and Xbox 360 on May 12 in North America and May 15 in Europe.

Great news. I definitely will try the demo!

Normally, I don't like this sort of game, but I'm going to have to admit that the trailers have me interested.

Demo is tomorrow! BANZAI!!

The demo is now Live.

I am using Gameshadow which seems to be DL at a pretty good clip.

Please let us know how your demo experience goes.

I actually enjoyed the heck out of it. I also got my butt handed to me as well. I am glad I have the game pre-ordered.

How are the new water affects/dynamics? How are the damage modeling/physics?

I can't play it for some reason. I have downloaded it twice now from Fileplant and got the same error message when I installed it. "Error missing d3dx9.4.dll" I am puzzled with this. But I am on Vista Home Premium with DX10 too, so not much surprised at this.

Try downloading the latest DirectX9 distributables, and install it.
