Why was anyone expecting them to make a different demo? We would've heard something or seen videos from JPSN users by now if it was a new demo.
On the LQ-841 Boss at the minute. I'll be able to report if there's anything new afterwards.
As for performance. I've played through the ZoE demo a load of times and think i'd be able to notice any large difference. But nothings sticking out for me. I noticed Boris still goes out of sync, when i enter the first building, just like he does for me on the ZoE disc. So perhaps it's exactly the same code as the first demo? I'm not sure though.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Konami PR is as usual too mysterious for its own good. Glad its not another level though, as the game is gonna be too short most likely and you dont want to play too much beforehand.
But it'll all be new to me!
In their press release they said.
"You'll be able to try out three stages from the Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance game. What they are, Konami didn't say."
I guess most people, myself included, counted the first demo as a tutorial and one stage. The fact they wouldn't comment what the demo was, was also quite interesting.
Crashing was reported with the original 360 demo as well (triggered by the very same thing as the PS3 one, apparently).
I'm not surprised it's the same demo, really. They'd have to branch off the data and code all over again with the latest stuff and test it all over again, which would be a massive time-sink while they're already trying to get the full thing finished.
Would've been nice to get some of the major bugs like crashes fixed, but if merging new code into the old code to fix it is too dangerous or time-consuming, I can't blame them for not doing it, especially if the crash is rare.

The lack of an evade feels very odd considering I'm supposed to be playing as a super cyborg ninja
Other than that, I thought it was pretty cool

The fuck? Where was all that in the tutorial?
They only thing I learned was how to expertly slice a watermelon

So there is a dodge!
I tried for ages and couldn't work out how to do it!
So um how do you do it?

Square and X, which would be A and X for the 360.
Seems kind of awkward. Will try it out.

Go into blade mode and go nuts on the watermelon - the framerate has a heart attack.

Oh God this game is good.
And how disgusting is to play action games on 360 controller.
PS3 version, DAY FUCKING 1!!!

I believe at press events before the ZoE demo, the game didn't just have a heart attack. It just flat out died. Back then, I don't think there was a limit to how many separate pieces, items could be cut into.
I actually thought it was surprisingly fine on the 360 pad. Though I've been playing a lot of Bayonetta again, which is good training for the pad.
Also worth mentioning, i haven't got to try the PS3 demo yet. But since it hits EU tomorrow, i'll get to try it at last.
It died prior to the ZoE demo. I think my record was close to two hundred fragments before the crash would kick in. Obviously, we fixed that.
Is the exact same demo as the one that came with ZOE? Do you know if the crashing was fixed?
I think even now, it's crazy how many slices you can stuff into. It's amazing that it has the cutting mechanic, mixed with 60 FPS.

Just got done beating the demo a second time, it's pretty fun! I'll probably try it on the PS3 to; not sure which platform to get it for.

Well that was flat-out awesome! I had high hopes and the demo still managed to surpass my expectations. The tutorial was ho-hum, but after that I had a smile on my face the whole way through.
First of all the game from a graphics perspective surprised me – it really looks fantastic to me. I’m also surprised at how detailed slicing the environments is. I was not expecting it to be so fleshed out.
And the gameplay? Pure PlatinumGames bliss! The team has done it again! You feel like such a badass and its just pure fun to play. Thank you so much PlatinumGames.....you are freaking amazing! ♥

Died a couple of times fighting two Gekkos, had trouble keeping up with them with the camera. Aside from the camera giving me some problems the game seemed super awesome, hopefully the camera will be less of an issue the more I play.

That crash is fixed. Although I'm sure you will spin it negative.
I thought you were cool, man. I mean the Gekko crash on the PS3, btw.
LOL. Yep. I know which one you are talking about. It is fixed. And we cool, man. We cool. 60fps.

JP, send Grace Chen a threatening tweet or something, duder.
god I suck at this parrying is ridiculous hard for me. I hate having to push the analogue stick in for any primary function in any game though. If I ever do pick this up I may have to play on easy. I just didn't get it. I had to sneak pass the two mechs I was actually starting to think you can't beat them. Got to the boss kept dying cut it off. I'm just not the caliber action game player this seems catered to.
Well, that's great!
Do you perhaps know anything about the particle effects difference between PS3 and X360 versions? I only own a PS3 and had to suffer worse version of Bayonetta and I'm kinda worried it's going to happen again
dem textures are harsh, but 60 fps, also slicing up the car makes it look like it's a giant car cake or something, nothing acts independently of each other.
Never beat the demo, but it was fun, and I gotta go, I'll try it more when i get back.
I do how ever hate that the blade mode doesn't slow down more, I guess that's something you need to level up? I got further button mashing my way through it then I did using blade mode.
Oh I never played the ZOE demo so I'm new to this.

A+X (SQ+X)
Raiden does a side hop depending on where you point the analog stick. I get the feeling this game won't rely too much on this move, though. It's super slow.

Thanks. Downloading now.
You can lock your camera onto an enemy using RB.
its not up in germany/ip blocked if you try another account. ms or konami fucked up.
Ugh, guess I gotta wait for it to appear on PSN. At least does Sony not block other regions.
