Thread: BODYCOUNT demo now available

Hey you! Yeah, you - with the face like a well kicked ass! (Gary) The demo for Codemasters upcoming gun-heavy/plot-light shooter Bodycount is now available on XBL.
Considering the game aims to put the "fun back in gun" (grammatically, that'll never work but I get the point), it looks loud and explodey, much like curry guts but without the need to buy new underwear.

The demo is 1.45 of your earth gigabytes and is an early part of the game set in Africa. The full game is due out September 2nd.

Are you at home? have you tried it? (Whilst I'm slaving away at work chatting on the site and posting this update) If so, let us know you initial thoughts!

Bodycount does look graphically dull but hope the gameplay is more exciting

I'll be grabbing this tonight anyone else?

its supposed to be a "spiritual successor" to black, which was awesome. but i dont know if they are using that to make people buy it or whether its true or not.

ill try the demo anyway

Black was the shit fuck knows how they made an xbox game look that good

I will try the demo, if it is similar to Black in gameplay then brilliant but graphically it is too much of the dull colour compare to Black which was more colourful including the level where you are in the woodlands with flowers on the forest floor

From all the screenshots I've seen of Bodycount, it looks very colourful compared to other games, lots of outdoors action mixed with some weird neon Tron-style architecture, much more colourful than Black, which was mostly set at night from what I remember.

Dammit man, I purposely insult you on the opening line and you don't even respond. <sob> I try so hard!

Same as Space Marine, I'll try it, but I'm not optimistic..

i had black on ps2, it was an amazing looking game for that generation. in fact it still holds up pretty well. it might have been a huge franchise by now had it come earlier (or on the 360) and with online MP.

its a guy called stuart black who co-created black (not sure if he named the game after himself) thats working on bodycount, after "differences with EA" regarding black 2

PS sam im so used to the random insults that im developing immunity lol

Didn't think much of the demo, had high hopes for it but won't be purchasing it on release. Very disappointed!
