Game News Metalheart: Replicants Rampage Demo

[RGE]

I can't even get the demo running on Windows ME. Is it a compatibility issue or something?

I can't get it to work either, with XP, maybe it's because we live in sweden?

Yeah, it is too cold for the game. :twisted:

2.11.2004 - Official Refutation!!!

As we have just learned, a “demo” of Metalheart: Replicants Rampage appeared in the World Wide Web not so long ago. It’s our duty to inform you that “Akella” is not responsible for this illegal distribution at all. This is not an official demo-version and it appears to be an incomplete fragment of 2003-year game build flooded with various errors.

This inconvenience has occurred due to frustrating misunderstanding between “Akella” and its partner that has mistakenly put the archive into the Web. The situation is being discussed and taken care of right now.

However, it won’t influence the date of release at all. It will happen in January 2005 as it was previously announced. For this very “demo” is not a complete and tested product, we’d appreciate much if you do not mind its appearance. The final version will be completely different regarding the total conversion of RPG system and many other aspects directly influencing the general game concept itself.

We are especially addressing the masters of web sites that host this archive asking them insistently to remove it from their download sections immediately as it corrupts our respected name. Let’s not allow any provocations to confuse us.

At this very moment the official site of the game is under intensive construction. You will be able to find all the necessary information on Metalheart: Replicants Rampage there just a few days later.

Well, we know what happened last time a developer claimed the game was nothing like the demo. They'd better release a new demo before the game's out or their sales will probably suffer quite a bit.

It's strange. Today I got a new issue of CDAction and it has a Metalheart demo on the accompanying DVD. It means that the demo was ready some time ago. CDAction is also quite a respectable magazine, I doubt they would do something illegal, but it's my personal opinion.
The demo on the DVD might be different, though. Don't know because it exits to desktop of my XP-run PC.

Well, I've tried this preview version and I'll say this: It's definitely very Fallouty. Aside from the lack of dialogue, the game feels like Fallout, with a similar interface (no Skilldex, though? Maybe not in this version) and right clicking on enemies even brings up an Aimed Shot popup menu. The music's ambient and has the same ambivalence as Fallout.

I can't wait to see the real demo, or the real game. Some dialogue and dialogue choices would be nice. The game would definitely be Fallout-ish, then.

Yeah, I have cautious high hopes for this game. Even if it's just a bit better than FOT, I'll be happy.
