I don't think they would give us the whole level like that. The would be given us too much. Most likely, it would as long as the one at comic-con. Maybe even the same one.

I do hope we get one….even if it is only that long.

I've got 3 demos on my PS3 that are the full first levels of the games.

It's not uncommon for publishers to release full level demos,Bioshock and Deadspace did it,and those are big,great games just like GBTVG will be.

I'm not going to play any Ghostbusters demo. I know that I'm definately going to buy it and I want to spoil the experience by having played some of it already.

To hell with that, the games been delayed long enough, I want to play at least part of it.

Demos do not spoil the experience for me. I play it to help me understand it better. It's not like the experience has been spoiled before with all the demo recording at the comic-con.

Very rarely have played a demo that I enjoyed only to have the final game suck.

So the Ghostbusters demo would not spoil for me.

For me, playing a game demo is kind of like watching the beginning of a movie before I see the whole thing. I'd rather go into the cinema having not seen any of it. For me, game demos are simply a free sample to help you decide whether you want to buy the game or not but since I'm definately going to buy the game, playing a demo just isn't necessary. Plus, when play the game on for the first time I want it to feel like an entirely fresh and new experience which I think, for me, will be slightly spoiled having previously played a demo.

Wouldn't that concept also apply to commercials and trailers for movies? Since watching a movie is viewable only, then any trailer you watch would spoil it for you.

Whatever float your boat I guess. For me it is opposite. I know I am going to buy the game, but I wish to have a demo that will hold me over till I get the final game.

Anyone have any idea if they are going to put the new trailer on XBOX LIVE trailer downloads (marketplace)?

For me, trailers are a little different because they are collections of short clips from different parts of the movie where as a game demo gives you one section of a game. This is why I made the , I think fairer comparison, of watching the first 5 minutes of a movie before you go to see it at the cinema. True though, I do think that some trailers in the past have been slightly guilty of showing a little too much of the movie they are advertising. It really all depends on how the trailer is done. The trailer for Ghostbusters is a perfect example of not giving it all away in the trailer by not showing the Stay Puft Marshmallowman.

You know what is weird. The commercials for the movies….some of them actually reveal the ending in them. I mean, I watched the movie and then I go back and look at the commercial and it spoils the ending of the movie. Though you don't really know this until after you watch the movie.

This is why demos and trailer do not bother me, because I don't know when or where the demo actually takes place The demo could be made up of a combination of many levels to make one short interval. Just like how a trailer can take sections of a movie to make it up.

Sometimes I never know when things from the demo occur in the real game. The F.E.A.R. demo was completly different from the actual game, but contains the same elements.

To give another simile to your demo and trailers is books. You know how in the folding of a book as a short paragraph or two explaining somewhat of the story you are about to read though never tells you the out come? That is what a demo is to me. Like reading an intro paragraph to a book. Just enough to pull me in.

You must've watched a different trailer then I.
