Vivendi confirms The Bourne Conspiracy demo arriving next month

Vivendi confirms The Bourne Conspiracy demo arriving next month photo
     Xbox 360

CVG has confirmed with Vivendi that a demo for the forthcoming third-person espionage title The Bourne Conspiracy will be coming to Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Network next month. The publisher tells CVG that the demo is still "awaiting confirmation," which hopefully means we'll see the demo prior to the game's June 3 release date.

Developed by High Moon Studios (the folks that brought you the reasonably solid first-person shooter Darkwatch), The Bourne Conspiracy expands on the adventures of Robert Ludlum's popular character Jason Bourne, made most famous by the film trilogy starring Matt Damon. The title will mix hand-to-hand combat, quick time events, and driving sequences; the demo is said to contain more than one mission, including one that takes place prior to the events of The Bourne Identity

It should be noted that no one at High Moon Studios is f**king Matt Damon, and his face and voice will not appear in the title.

Played this at the recent Play.com event in London, i have to honest i was pretty impressed at what was on display, seems to have maintained the frantic pace of the fight scenes seen in the movies. Also saw some driving in the game but no idea how that works hands on.

Incidentally if this could be very same demo so look out for the embassy scene from the first movie and some random shootout not seen in the movies.

Maybe Matt Damon didn't want to be involved with the project?

Like Demios I played the game at play.com live as well and it was better than I thought it was going to be.

The atmosphere and intensity of the Bourne films was captured really well and the pacing of the game was good.

The main problem I had with it is that the hand to hand combat system could end up being really repetitive and dull. All you have to do is mash the attack buttons to build up your adrenaline meter and once full, press the takedown button to unleash a powerful pre-set move based on what's around you. It's all automatic unless there's multiple enemies so it ends up a bit of a button masher. Although that being said it was fun to play but it'd be interesting to see how the driving and shooting levels work out.

Matt Damon!

I'm like, one of five people who's even halfway interested in this game. Somebody somewhere is doing something wrong.
