For those interested;

Belgar, at the beginning of the Install, does this Demo offers the possibility of a choice of language, including English?

HI Chief
I'm assuming you read French.Could you tell me what the description says when you click on the above link ?

cathy

Install can be done in several languages but the in-game is in French.

Cathy, click the link "demo jouable #1", then click the red box "lancer le téléchargement" and it should start downloading.

There is a lengthy intro in French that sets the morbid tone of the game, and then a good game sequence. I liked it a lot, especially the limited space to carry objects that need to be stored is a nice feature.

Not sure if it is the same download but someone posted about this saying its multi language demo.

Have you tried it Skeeter ?

Nope.

Both demos are the same size. Over a gig. I noticed that your link Skeeter says at the top of it that it is an multilanguage demo. Mmmm.

Sorry, had some errands to do.

If you download and install from Skeeter's link, you will get the possibility to INSTALL the game in English and play in English.


The link from Clubic being a French one, they probably gave the link of the French demo

Have fun.

Chief

i just played the demo and it's english

everyone interested in this game should check it out

its a short demo that lets you play as paloma not vic

but lets you get a little feel to the game

Thanks Chief and JMartin for the info I was looking for.

Glad to hear everyone will get to enjoy the demo in their native language.
I was a little disappointed in the graphics. I thought after that much time they would have tried to improve some of the characters and backgrounds, some looked really to blocky.

Yeah, maybe the whole 3D thing didn't come out as well as they had hoped.

EDIT:

It can now be downloaded from WorthPlaying..

HI JMartin -- I combined your stacked posts! Thanks for the info.

Wow
Just finished the demo. Well I've decided that I will be getting this game. The demo was short but left me wanting more. I noticed that on the credits it says there is a Mac version. If I understood correctly. It only took 50 minutes to download the whopping 1 gig demo. Surprised me for sure. The graphics left a lot to be desired but I got over it quickly. The plays the thing as they say. The music was eerie and got my heart pounding. I like the idea that you can watch the cinematics as many times as you like. Enjoy the demo boomers. I think it's worth the time it will take to download it. The whole demo played in english. I never checked out what other languages there might be.

Cathy

Glad you enjoyed it, I did as well. It's quite suspenseful and the music fits in well. Interesting they decided to use the Paloma kidnapping as the demo and not one with Vic, since that's who everyone is coming back for.

Hi Cathy1
Just finished downloading the demo and i trust your judgement in games. We are alot alike. Can't wait to check it out. Thanks for the review. Going to play it now and i'll have my scoop about it afterwards.

Lynnypoo2

Thanks for the links! I am downloading it.

Hi Lynn
It is a very good game from the demo. CYE.

Cathy

Cathy1, you were right. I loved the demo. Didn't mind the graphics at all. The chests where you keep things in remind me of Resident Evil games. Really cool Demo. I would definetly buy this game. Can't wait till August when it is released. Finally figured everything out. I give it a 10.

Thanks, Belgar

I played the demo yesterday and thought it was actually pretty interesting. I haven't actually played the first, but so far I like the story and the characters.

The first one is a must play also. That was an excellent game.

Downloading as we speak! From the previous posts this should be fun

Spyros

I've gathered that some postings by people who are playing the German version that the story line from Post Mortem will also be a bit of a factor in Still Life 2.

Those who plan to play Still Life 2 as soon as it releases might want to play Post Mortem and Still Life again now, so as to be fully and completely and thoroughly prepared for Still Life 2.

I'm kind of surprised about the reaction to the demo here. Over at a different AG site, most people don't like it. At all. They seem to think the move to 3D is a bad one and lots of complaining about the animations and graphics in general. Many are saying that the story takes second place to the puzzles, and they won't be purchasing the game when it's released in the states.

Personally I found the demo very intriguing and although the graphics not the latest and greatest, good enough for me. As to the story I hope there're wrong about that as that's really the only reason I play AG's.

Ive just installed the demo and played it a few minutes (its late). Th graphics and animation do indeed look very ametuerish although the cut-scenes look ok. Microids must have been a bit shocked when this was turned over to them given the expectation that has built up for this sequal. It also seems to suffer from the dreaded sluggish mouse cursor syndrome (anyone else have this?). I`ll have proper go at it tomorrow.

Finished the demo. Looking forward to playing the full version when it comes out. Didn't mind the graphics, but Paloma sure walked really slowly during one scene.

When I go to download the demo and I'm given a choice of several countries to download from, must I use the U.S. choices, or can I download from any site? I see some of the other countries have faster downloading (if I'm reading correctly) and wonder if there's any reason I shouldn't use them?

Mary, I use the fastest one.

ana

I also use the one which is less occupied than the others, i don't know what the problem is though, i have tried from 3 different places and they all time out at 1.02 GB (99%). I still haven't been able to download it.

Thanks, Ana, that's what I'll do. I really enjoyed the original Still Life and am looking forward to the sequel. I'll give the demo a try!

Just got email now from Microids said that Still Life 2 will be officialy release at the 8 of may 2009 .

It will be possible to buy and download from microids shop online and its now on pre prder .

Thats great news two games in the 8 of may : Secret files 2 and still life 2

hmmmmmmm

German language release only...so I !

Or am I wrong...please let me be wrong!

Interesting they are looking for $30 when other adventure games being released lately, that are arguably "better," are only $20.

The English release (download) is scheduled for June and the retail in August.
