So we have seen Drag Strip in the earlier video, and we still don't know the name of that six wheeled vehicle yet, right? And didnt High Moon say that we havent seen every big character yet? So what if the six wheeled vehicle is Motormaster. Menasor perhaps? :-?

Just putting it out there.

I don't know whether this is specific to the UK or not but I can't find the demo on the PlayStation Network at all which is really unfair. I am desperate to play the demo until the actual game comes out at the end of August.

Does anyone know if this is a problem specific to the UK?
I have just found it is finally out there

You're my second confirmed UKer who can't seem to find it, I have one UKer confirmed who found it at the same time as the US release time on the store, so I'm not certain what may be the issue.

I don't know whether you got my message so I have put this here just in case.

I found it not long after I posted that comment actually. I have been waiting for it since Seibertron said the demo had been released and I just don't understand why we ended up waiting a few days extra for it. Unless it was to reflect the difference in release dates perhaps?

Someone tell me if I'm wrong but it's my understanding that the U.S. online services are updated on Tuesdays, which is why the demo was released when it was. The E.U. PlayStation Store on the otherhand isn't updated until Wednesday, usually resulting in a slight delay. As to why you still hadn't found it on the 2nd though is beyond me: I'd got it downloaded and installed by 18:00 on the 1st.

As for the game itself the updates are definite improvements: it's certainly a better game than WFC. The gameplay still doesn't compell me to play, but I'm sure the story will pull me through. The multiplayer customization is highly overrated. All that talk of unique transformations for your creation is a load of bollocks. Scratching my head as to why Ratchet's parts are named 'Mercenary'. Also, the different voices aren't so different. It's all nothing more than another tick on the back of the box.
