Red Faction demo in April

Pre-order to gain exclusive access.

According to US video game retailer GameStop, a playable demo of THQ's upcoming destruction-heavy action title, Red Faction: Guerrilla, will be available next month.

There's a catch though. Currently it appears as though the only way to get hold of the demo is through pre-ordering the game with GameStop.

"Reserve Red Faction: Guerrilla and receive exclusive access to the demo from April 3 to April 23," states the product description.

We've contacted THQ for clarification on whether the demo will be available at a later date for gamers who don't pre-order and if there will be a similar pre-order promotion in the UK.

According to GameStop, Red Faction: Guerrilla is scheduled for release in June.

Update: THQ UK has confirmed to VideoGamer.com that it will be offering early access to the demo to a "select number" of people on April 4. Expect further details soon. The publisher also confirmed that the demo will be made available to the public at a later date.

guyderman	0 1 In response to Article » Go to 's original post How pointless! - I thought the whole idea of a demo is to see if the game is worth buying. Are they that unconfident in this game that they need to confirm a sale before letting people see or play it. What would happen if you pre-order and then decide to cancel your order after playing the demo! Report Reply

Jarus	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post I've noticed it happening more and more recently, at least they didn't call it 'exclusive beta access' like other companies have. Is it just for spin so they can say they've had ... pre-orders or am I missing something in this master stratagem? It's not like they need to keep those people who have already pre-ordered happy, if they've gone to the trouble of pre-ordering they're probably going to buy the game anyway... Report Reply

Does anyone know what 'select number' actually means? It seems like a slight deviation from stating pre-orders. Also, any update on the 'further details'? Time is running out if it's gonna be before April 4th. Report Reply
