As an extra point, in my experience it ran much better on PS4 Pro than it did on PC (with a 1080Ti) :thinking:

Anyone played this on a standard PS4? The framerate and motion blur is horrendous.

Ive just been playing and didnt find it too much of an issue in infantry modes. Ive heard its bad in flying modes however.

Takes soooo long waiting for players that every one drops out of waiting.

Dude give up. It's a beta, not a demo.

It's more demo than Beta. Beta is just a marketing phrase these days. They won't be making changes based on the "play testing" done this week.

Of course they will.

It's released in a month. This is a demo in all but name.

All demos are beta's.. pedantic much?
demo as a verb means;
demonstrate the capabilities of (software or another product).
in fact 'beta' is used incorrectly as the term “beta” refers to a product’s stage of development.. you can't really release a stage of development, but you can release a demonstration of a current stage of development.
Jees kids these days.. try going back to the 80's and getting a demo cassette of a spectrum mag.. none of us got beta cassettes :stuck_out_tongue:

We didn't get betas because we got full releases on Speccy or Amstrad. They had to, since it was shipped out on a tape, and they couldn't just patch a tape after release.
Technically all games are rolling betas now, since games are constantly being developed, even after release. It's one thing I hate about modern gaming.
Imagine if you bought a book, and then in a few weeks the author decided to change chapter 7, so they sent you some new pages to read :grin:

Not a deal

Not sure you can call this particular beta a demo if you have to commit to buying the full game first...! If you don't enjoy the demo you've already bought the game!

Multiplayer betas are pretty much demos of a online game, they say it's to test the servers but it's clearly a marketing plan to sell more copy's of the game. Will be downloading it and giving it a play but very much doubt I will buy it unless the campaign gets favable reviews.

We’ve already had the beta/demo debate, don’t cause a is it a deal/ not a deal debate too

Looking forward to trying this. Although it’s not really a deal, there’s new free demos released several times every month for various games...

Call it what you like.. It really does not matter does it. All I am 100% sure of is I have never liked Star Wars! :smile:

How can you not like R2D2..... that little tin rascal, he gets up to all kinds of mischief. I do think he would have been better with a mexican handlebar moustache though :face_with_monocle:

Cold, can't camp a hero pickup, then spawn kill with Bossk. They've taken all the fun away...

It's a Multiplayer Open Beta, not a demo :wink:

Does it not also act to demonstrate the product.

As this wont be the end released product then I'd say no.

No demo ever is.

Nope, this isn't representative of the final product. It's beta. You're supposed to play it to report any bugs / glitches etc.
QuickProfits to manc80
6 Oct 17#7
No its multiplayer beta access.
manc80 to QuickProfits
6 Oct 17#8
So it's not demonstrating the multiplayer element in its current beta state? I think most people will be using it as such rather than to report bugs. Especially given its proximity to the release date.
QuickProfits to manc80

You don't report them yourself. The developers are watching to see what happens and will adjust things accordingly.
A beta is testing the game for bugs and other issues.
A demo is promotional. They may well release a demo in the near future. You will know if they do because it will be called a demo.

Now that I think about it... games that get released are not the final product either lol

I'll put an end to this... neither a demo or beta is the final product :thumbsup:

Who gives a crap if it's a demo or a beta, just play it and decide whether or not you are going to buy it.
manc80 to fuzzle3
6 Oct 17#20
Don't decide based on this!!! It's not a demo for Christs sake !

Because you're not a "real gamer" (aka sadact) unless you get these things right.

The existence of this forum begs to differ.
