    There is no confirmation anywhere in your information and you should refrain from posting misleading threads.


    This is just you speculating based off hearsay with little context.

    This thread did not deliver.

    Also beta and demo are not even close to the same thing.

    The only difference between a Demo and the Beta, is that the Demo is usually more limited (With the amount of stuff, campain, difficulty, w/e) than the Beta. Otherwise they are the same thing, a playable version of the game for X reason.

    for all we know, this "demo" could be a LP of the tutorial done by Tiy himself. I remember playing the Demo for games at walmart AFTER they where released. The demo is essentially "do you like this? if you want more SPEND YOUR MONEY"

    Well, there is another tiny detail you missed. Demos are often a very tiny but completed section of the game, so you can get the full experience of knowing what it will be like when it's out. A beta will not be complete (obviously) but is the whole game.

    *fixed*
    And not really, demos tend to be a portion of a completed game and betas normally come out before a demo, so if a demo is maybe coming out in late September then the beta may come out a month or so before that. Of course this all means nothing as Tiy himself isn’t sure if he’ll have one in time.

    And a Beta is for watching how a game works exspecialy with online games when hundrets of people play it. also to kill bugs or change things which are not good enough.
    A demo just not. :)

    Sometimes, beta can be pretty much the full game, sans the game breaking bug unfixed and any other glitches or bugs without fix. I will admit that betas are more in a constant state of flux than a demo though.

    This is a beta:
    be·ta

    /ˈbātə/
    Definition:
    A beta test is a limited release of a product with a goal of finding bugs before the final release. Software testing is often referred to by the terms "alpha" and "beta."
    Generally speaking, the alpha test is an internal test to find bugs, and the beta test is an external test. During the alpha phase, the product is opened up to employees of the company and, sometimes, friends and family. During the beta phase, the product is opened up to a limited number of customers.



    This is a Demo(nstration):

    dem·on·stra·tion

    dem·on·stra·tion (d[​IMG]m[​IMG][​IMG]n-str[​IMG][​IMG]sh[​IMG]n)n.

    1. The act of showing or making evident.
    2. Conclusive evidence; proof.
    3. An illustration or explanation, as of a theory or product, by exemplification or practical application.
    A demonstration is not the same thing as the Beta. A demonstration is the Dev team showing off their product, be it the general product or an aspect of the product, in the hopes of generating more interest/income.
    As an example, we have seen many Demos of Starbound: "Water and Lave mechanics," Building Demo" and so on.

    THIS is what they will be showing off at Eurogamer, this doesn't mean they will be waiting until then to release the Beta.
