Recently a demo for LEGO Indy released on the PC but the publisher has confirmed that there isn't going to be a console version. So if you want to get a taste of Traveller's Tales Indy then you better head on over to their website, unless you can wait until June 6th. Can you? WELL!?

I know that many of us were hoping for a console demo, but it doesn't seem that it'll happen.

Maybe they discovered it prevented sales.

Thanks Activision !

Maybe they discovered it prevented sales.

How did the next-gen versions sell?

I recall the Wii version selling rather well.

They just announced today they have sold over 18 millions of the Lego Star Wars series, so it's makes good money.

I really enjoyed the PC demo :)

I am a bit confused though.... i thought Lucasarts published this and Lego Star Wars?

[PuppetSlave]

Actually I can kinda understand them. Their targetgroup can probably be happy with just a demo and not need to buy the full game. Atleast the younger ones.

[Yoboman]

I can understand why. The Lego Star Wars demo convinced me to never buy a Lego game ever.

I downloaded the PC demo and understand the complaints in the PC thread. Having only played Star Wars lego a total of 5 minutes, I never realized how awful the fixed camera was.

Kids playing with real LEGO blocks > kids playing LEGO-branded video games.


No console demo needed, anyway. The PC demo already showed that the new game is just more of the same. Maybe rent it if you're a huge Indy fanatic.

Activision isn't publishing this title... Is any of this true?

[NinjaFridge]

Why the hell would activision know?

[Indeed]

Well the Pc demo convinced me to buy it

Lego games are awesome!

Well Activision, my shitty video card can't run your demo so a console one would have been nice.

Not that any Lego games really need a demo.

[Visualante]

Well Activision, my shitty video card can't run your demo

I don't actually believe you. My card is 3 or 4 years old and it ran it beautifully.

This.

Why the hell would activision know?

Activision is publishing it in Europe.

[Monsterland]

It's been 10 years since a good game came out of that studio.

Lego Star Wars Games are fun co-op games.

Not because it's Lego, because it's a simple yet amusing take on the Movies. Yes the games are a little buggy here and there, but I really had some awesome fun playing with my bro.

Well, messing around with my bro in the game, to be precise.


And don't talk about playing with real Lego bricks. It is awesome too, but it just has nothing to do with those games.

[atomico]

at least they're still giving pc users a chance to try the game before downloading the full game

I don't actually believe you. My card is 3 or 4 years old and it ran it beautifully.

Really? When I installed the demo and clicked to run it it said:

"This demo will not run on your PC because your video card does not support Pixel Shaders V1.1, the demo will now exit."

If you still don't believe I can screeshot it for you.

I see what you did there.....
