I'm really excited for this game now. It looks like the previous games with Split/Second mixed in and I loved S/S.

So I posted in teh Random Thoughts thread that I had received a demo code from Gamestop in my e-mail but it didn't work. I did a bit of research and it seemed nobody's code was working.
Then I saw this article on Kotaku last night...
Kotaku, the Gamer’s Guide
The most interesting thing was a comment left by a user that doesn't seem to be showing up now. He said that he had won a press release copy a bit ago and speculated why the demo and game have been delayed. I think he's dead on. He said that there is a bit of a cut scene early on where you see RC cars racing through a cardboard town when someone kicks over the cardboard buildings and says "There goes Tokyo." It's obviously a Godzilla reference but considering the current events in Japan I can see why Sony pulled it.
This is like the LBP Arab song all over again.
Edit: Found it.

I think a demo delay could be seen as a bit "much" but as far as I'm aware it doesnt come out in USA for a while?
I can however understand why the game has been delayed though. I've already recieved my copy (as I won a competition and got one of them fancypants press kits directly from Evolution) and there is one scene I have seen so far which seems extremely and unfortunately distasteful.
*EARLY GAME SPOILER*
Motion comic where 2 people are racing RC cars around a cardboard town. Someone stops them, calls them immature, then proceeds to kick down all the buildings. One character then exclaims "there goes Tokyo".
Although I know this is a reference to Godzilla, it still feels pretty disheartening due to timing, no fault to Evolution though.
*SPOILER OVER*
On a brighter side, I recommend this as a day one purchase because it is still an awesome game. (Edit comment) -

I thought the same thing too, but Motorstorm 1 with the MM crew lead to epic gaming nights. Twigg's headset and/or connection always seemed to crap out during that time though. Everyone else would be playing and he always got booted, it was weird.
I never picked up Pacific Rift, but i still search craigslist for it every once in a while to see if anyone is selling it for cheap.Comment

I also forgot the psp game. It's hard as hell too. I'm stuck about halfway through that one I think.Comment

I asked the mgr at gamestop if any release date has been set, she said the "sony rep" was in their store the other day and told them it might come out this year. WTF? I can see delaying a little bit but 8 months possibly?
I watched the videos at gametrailers and i have motorstorm fever.Comment
