A demo for space siege will be available soon

Here

Who is looking forward to this game?

I certainly am.

Oh sorry posted this thread twice. post in this one

mine has an actual download link....is this really the demo?

Its up now, wasn't up when I commented on the last one.  For me at least.  Downloading.

What is space seige?

Alright its up! its such a shame im on dial up atm :(

"What is space seige?"

AS a huge fan of DS2 and scifi, I've been looking forward to this game a lot, gonna download it now, too bad I'm hooked to a crappy wlan right now, it's gonna take ages. And not sure how much justice a demo is gonna do to a game like this that is all about looting and leveling(I pressume it's about those).

Really enjoyed what little there was of the game on display in this demo. Seriously, it's like 10-15 mins. And you don't get to have much of a look into the skill upgrades and whatnot. But they look similar to the Diablo/Hellgate style trees. They've removed all loot and experience/levelling it looks like. I don't actually mind/care (saw this as a "big deal" complaint for the game over on neogaf), the spare parts/scrap metal system for upgrading armor and weapons looks to do the job nicely, and the combat seems to be fun enough to sustain the game on its own without the standard cheap loot trick dungeon crawls usually pull on you.

Takes a little time getting used to the camera movement. It's a lot like Guild Wars actually, except you can't move the camera with the mouse, you use the keyboard for left/right and zoom in/out. Mouse is only for clicking to move with the left button and weapon firing with the right. Works really well when you get used to it.

Only other possible complaint I've got from the demo is the console/flash game style user interface which just looks really cheap, but I guess I can.. easily.. live with it. It's a defnite buy for me, even from such a short demo.

Yeah it was a decent, I just wonder if the full game will have more varied environments, like alien planets and such, the space ship in the demo was a very bleak environment, not bad but if the whole game were like that, well I'd pass.

Also classes, character creation and such. Will you have a whole party at your disposal like in DS2? Can you create your own character at the start, choose class etc.? Or are you just playing as that guy and develop him to different directions? The demo left me with more questions than answers.

I liked the core gameplay tho, and it's still on my wish list but not as an immediate buy. Despite being a scifi fan I think I would had rather taken Dungeon Siege 3.

Seeing a lot of mixed reactions for the demo...guess I'll have to check it out when I get home.

I haven't played Dungeon Siege, but as soon as I get time, I'll definitely play it.  It'll be nice to get a sci-fi hack and slash.

thanks for the heads up, i can't wait to play it, there's been a lot of talk about it so i finally get the chance to see what all the rage is about.... it looked good from the screenshots i've seen

ok after playing this demo i can safely say im pretty impressed with the game as a whole... The one thing springs to mind the second i started playing this game was how similar is it to another old game called Shadowgrounds. It has the same playing style, same graphical look and i just freaking love that. The core gameplay is just lots of fun, yeah it has that RPG top-down element but it really doesn't play like it at all, its a much more hands-on your in control of how you attack and your character will not attack unless your clicking buttons which i like, because it gives you a sense its not just a dice roll or an automated action where some fights you'll win some you'll loose like most RPGs. Even tho its short, you did get to see quite a bit of stuff, from how you use the workstations to do your upgrades on your weapons to how you install your cybernetics aswell as the loot system which i liked a lot.

I also thought it has a good storyline to it, aswell as some good CGI video stuff. I thought overall it was quite a lot of fun. I'm guessing the multiplayer you'll be able to play co-op and im sure that will be a blast lol,  and probably you'll only control that one dude through the whole singleplayer campagn but im also thinking you might get to control certain characters in the game to help the main dude get through obsticles and stuff like that. As example, you cant open a door so all of a sudden you get control of some other tech dude who is in some other place, find the leaver, so your guy can continue on heh....

I enjoyed it a lot, and looking forward to the full game.... but was a bit short for a 1GB download...

Damn, looks pretty good

hmmm Just finished the demo and it was greats just wished it was longer because it was a big download

Cant wait to see how the story works out
