Shatter Demo In the Works
The best-selling game Shatter, a PlayStation Network-exclusive brick-breaker title for the PS3, obtained a great following by combining innovative gameplay, a great soundtrack, and of course Trophies. However, for skeptics, there was not much available to market the game besides an elusive trailer.
Fortunately for gamers that need a taste before making the large investment of $7.99, Sidhe is working on a downloadable demo. Managing director of Shatter, Mario Wynands, stated the following:
“The development team for the most part was only 4 to 5 people in size for most of the project including post production. We decided to focus on the actual launch of the full product to get the game out there and start earning revenue. We will be making a demo available down the line for those gamers on the fence.”
With such a small development team working on the title, gamers can truly sense the dedication and love put into making this innovative, new game. Make sure to stay tuned on PlayStation LifeStyle for more news on Shatter.

This game does not deserve a demo. If you’re on the fence… BUY IT NOW! It’s 8 dollars. Even if you don’t like Arkanoid that much, go to http://sidhe.bandcamp.com/ and give the music a listen. If you don’t like the music, I guess wait for the demo. If you hate the music, get better tastes in music.
If you like the music buy this game. Even if you don’t like the music buy this game. DANG IT IT’S THE BEST 8 DOLLARS YOU CAN SPEND RIGHT NOW JUST BUY THIS GAME!
lol
I guess a demo can show skeptics how awesome it is, but it’s been greatly reviewed, it’s cheaper than most games, and it’s got so much content. 10 stages, each with multiple levels, bosses, boss rush, bonus rounds, bonus round mode, leaderboards that update in real time and tell you who you’re trying to beat the score of next all intuitively placed directly into the game and viewable in the bottom right unobtrusively…
This game boarders on perfection. Add custom soundtracks and Youtube uploading and it’s probably achieved it.

whatever happened to when demos were released before the game? they shouldve released this demo a week before or the day of release… but i do agree with Makai that this doesnt even need a demo… its a purchase no question.

They should have released a demo on the day it came out..not everyones into buying cheap games for the sake of just spending money.

I’d really like to try the gameplay out. Maybe I’ll buy it if I really enjoy it.

Generally PSN games give you a lot of bang for your buck. People buy 60 dollar games all the time that end up being an 8 hour experience and mediocre at best. Where as some of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve had on my PS3 I’ve gotten for 15 or less and spent countless hours playing. It’s hard to waste money on PSN titles compared to a Retail.
Also remember if they released the demo BEFORE they released the game it would slow the time it took to have recieved the game. Sure that doesn’t matter for those of you who haven’t bought it, but most people who have bought it are glad they didn’t have to wait any longer.
