At least 2 brand new demos are set to be released in the next couple of weeks for the Xbox 360 Marketplace. The demo to the highly anticipated Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter is set to be released on February 22nd, although Ubisoft have given no further details about this demo.

 THQ's forthcoming war game, The Outfit, is set to be released a week later on March 3rd, which will feature multiplayer mode. The Outfit game demo will also feature the unique “Destruction on Demand” feature (DOD); which allows players to call in extra tanks, guns, troops, vehicles, artillery, air strikes and basically anything that's going to help them in combat. Reports also show that Japanese fighting game, Ninety Nine Nights, will be released on March 1st; however this may be a Japan only release.

Please let it come out today....rumor is it will be out around 4PM EST time....

Yes, I really wish it would have been something new....but it did look amazing on my TV! I can't wait to see the game in motion on my 360.  

[rrmorton]

You can't? I had no idea!

[Calvin]

FARK!! I want this demo SOO much!

[Hetz]

You can't? I had no idea!

Shocking, isn't it?

I can neither confirm nor deny any possible participation in said events and have no comment until Saturday...I've done enough damage...

[mikeg]

Where's the friggin demo already!!!!!!!???????????

[mikeg]

Well, after reading the blurb about GRAW in this piece, I don't think we will see a demo until AFTER the game releases.  
 
Read the paragraph right before "Serving It Up".

[Calvin]

That would seriously suck since they have said all along that the demo will be out 2 weeks before the game.

[Turtle]

Technically, with the new release date, it still isn't two weeks before the game.

You keep mentioning a delay in release and yet I see no delay for the XBox 360 version (the PC and PS2 version are coming out at the end of March, but the two XBox titles are coming out March 7).  Care to link to the place you read that the XBox 360 version is being delayed?

[Bullwinkle]

I think the confusion is coming from this news:

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter Delayed on Xbox 360
But not by much, according to a report from Prodigious Gaming. The info came from a release schedule update via Ubisoft UK. Expect GRAW for Xbox and Xbox 360 on March 17.

If I'm reading that right, it's delayed in the UK.

To add to this:

UPDATE: As news sometimes changes for the worse, sometimes it changes for the better. According to an updated article, GRAW for Xbox 360 will still be available March 10 (cheer!), but the Xbox version of the game will ship March 17.

[Bullwinkle]

[Hetz]

It's March 9th in the USA, March 10th in the UK.

Though it might be out the day before at EB/Gamestop.....depending on if there is a hard street date or not.

[Knightshade Dragon]

I can personally confirm this.

[Turtle]

And thus, Knightshade hath spoken and so be it.  

Man, I'm glad it's still coming out soon.

When I posted it in addendum to the replyee's post which showed kotaku, I assumed all would know I was showing the rest of the post which contained the update.  I was wrong.  The link is the same.

Is The Outfit still March 7?

There seems to be a lot of confusion within the internet community over the UK release date for Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 3 - Advanced Warfighter. The Xbox 360 version of the game will be on shelves throughout the UK available for sale from March 10th, 2006. The game will be available in North America a day earlier - March 9th, 2006.

[Bullwinkle]

I wasn't actually doubting the news, by the way.  Just having fun repeating the verbiage.

I know.

[The_Man]

The Outfit ships on 3/13

[Turtle]

So what's the current word on the demo, we've been getting different dates on the demo from various people.

[mikeg]

I believe I will have the game before I see the demo.

[CeeKay]

Well, considering the pattern I have seen, a demo will not come out until I've either bought the game or rented it and beat it.

[Calvin]

Where the goddamn hell are the demos!! I want these games badly! In fact, I want The Outfit so much I think I am going to go pick up mercenaries today for a little replay.

[Hetz]

Demo out tonight!

It will be up tonight (Thursday night).

It is in Microsoft's hands, so its as soon as they can get it up today. I'll let you guys know if I get an exact-er time..

[Booner]

Wheeeeeee!!!!!


I've been really looking forward to GRAW and it'll be sweet to get a little taste of it.

[Turtle]

I do hope they include the coop mode in the demo.
