I'm downloading it now except it taking me forever, right now 19% and still slow. PS3 downloading speeds need to increase and the internet on my computer has no slow down.

The servers are probably getting hammered, be patient.

Thanks for the info. :) Earlier in the day it was basically impossible to register because of all the Kotaku folks hammering away at the links.

Personally I didn't really enjoy the demo... mostly I guess because it was so damned short! Oh well, it still seems to be an interesting concept.

Started downloading it as soon as I found out. I'm still waiting... 18% so far.

Benderx, let me guess, you live in either Australia or Europe? PS3's download times in Europe are a fucking joke. average waiting time of 30 minutes for just little patches to games. Demos take days. It's not my connection either, I run a maxed out 8mbps downstream line. Which is better than most connections in the UK.

Finally finished downloading and I finally got to play the demo. I wasn't very impressed by the graphics. I thought they might have been a little more ground breaking than this. The controls are overly complex. The walk using R2 was ripped straight out of Shenmue, yet made more retarded. The entire game just seems like QTE hell.

Very unfortunate. I was looking forward to this game but colour me unimpressed so far.

Got a chance to play the first half, loving the fluidity of the QTE.
