There is an interesting editorial on the The Slow, Strange Death Of The Demo posted at RPS that is definitely worth checking out. I remember a day when a demo almost always came out before the game...now it's all just trailers...and most of those aren't of in-game footage.
I miss demos. I miss them so much. I wouldn’t be here, writing these words, if it weren’t for demos: how else could a sport-fearing, skinny young misery with only the slightest pittance for pocketmoney have found his way into playing video games? Once, my bedroom was littered with floppy discs, each and every one of which had at some point led to me standing outside a game shop, counting pennies with a quivering hand, praying I had enough.
