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.

Yeah it is better when a company fully focuses on the game itself.

I think this is a good idea, then again, I don't think it is.
First off, I like the idea, that they're focusing more on the game itself. But some people wanna try a demo of the game before they actually buy it.

Invictus Since there's no demo, does that mean no beta ?

That is the same thing. They are just too different names.

I think thats a good thing because it means they have more time to focus on the the actual game it self!

No demo = completed game. Makes sense to me. This game is going to be amazing!

This could have positive and negative impacts on sales and of the game itself. However, if they pull this off, it shows they can spend more time working on producing a good game, inside of releasing a half completed demo.
