No Watch Dogs demo because "demos take time"

Over the past few days, Watch Dogs creative director Jonathan Morin has been deluged by anxious fans asking about a potential demo for the open-world adventure - a demo that, Morin claims, is not in development.

"Dude relax, I receive too much tweets," Morin replied to one Twitter user who had repeatedly badgered the developer for an answer. "[There is] no demo planned before release. Sorry for the wait, doing my best," he added. The next day, Morin was asked to explain this lack of a Watch Dogs demo. "Doing Demos take time, the focus is on the game," he tweeted. "You will see more footage before release. Be patient & thanks for your passion."

Watch Dogs is slated for release on May 27. It will debut on the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. A Wii U version of Watch Dogs is also in development, but we haven't heard anything on when that version will be released since Ubisoft delayed the game in February.

Tickets They're kind of telling you they aren't ready.

They better be ready by May. I pre-ordered the game last year and it still hasn't been released.

No, they probably don't want YouTuber's ruining the big surprise for them!

Monster-Munch That sucks i was hoping for a demo to try the game out and see if it is worth the money but it will be im pretty sure but still sucks.

just wait a little bit after it comes out and see how the reviews on it are

most major reviews are generally a bad idea to go by, they are ever biased (money) or just plain subjective. Of course there should be some subjective criticism but it can't just be that.

I agree, most of the bigger gaming sites that do reviews are heavily biased toward the bigger games due to them being paid to do so. The best way to determine if the game is any good would be to play a demo, but apparently that isn't in the cards. Next best thing is word of mouth.
