Thought on the Pragmata demo?

[MegaHiro91]

As those following Capcom's new IP may know, a demo was just released for Steam, running for roughly 20-30 min of content. So what are people's thoughts? Personally, while third person action games are nothing new in gaming, I like the hacking during combat, and I am always a sucker for dad/daughter games, so this is still a day one for me.

Note that I am getting the game for PS5 but played the PC demo, which, running on my dinky laptop on the absolutely lowest settings, didn't at all give me a glimpse of how beautiful the game is gonna look on console or max PC settings.

Don't know why Capcom didn't release the demo on consoles

Who knows how AAA companies thinks. But it may be because they noticed that PC gaming audience is larger or their PC port was done earlier or several other reasons.

That really is strange. With them it's usually the other way around. Ideally all relevant platforms should get access to demos whenever possible.

Thanks for bringing the demo up, I'll check it out later. I feel like third-person shooters really need to work hard to differentiate themselves from the pack at this point, so I'm definitely curious what this game has going on.

I loved this demo, but I also noticed that Capcom is looking for Twitch streamers, and I hate Twitch drops with passion - I don't want to watch a game played, I want to play the game myself for Pete's sake. I truly hope this game doesn't have them... I like my games complete, replete with all DLC so drops would ruin the whole game for me. :/

Alright, just finished it and yeah, that was great - really wish the demo was a bit longer and featured a bit more combat, but what was there was really fun.
At first I thought the special guns could use some more ammo, but then I realized it's really more about dodging until you get a stun rather than playing it as a more traditional third-person shooter.

The demo of course never really got all that challening, but I can imagine these building blocks could make for a really fun action game once everything clicks into place and they throw tons of enemies at you.

Also, the performance was fantastic even on pretty high settings for me, despite my aging Laptop - they've gotten really good at making the RE Engine sing at this point.
So yeah, I went in with zero expectations and now I'm actually kinda excited for this game.
