Yes, on the same day.

[dupton69]

[chalkman]

What time do ya think it will be out?

[Robersdee24]

well its the 9th here uk time. Can one of the mods confirm a demo release time? you obviously have had the demo for a while so its just a case of pushing a button.

Can we get an ETA, midnight would be nice.

[Jaeger_CDN]

it'll likely be either 10 or 12 am west coast time like most Steam releases

[acare84]

I think demo will be released tomorrow. 10 AM Pacific Time.

[Kernnun]

Can someone confirm this in GMT aswell, so we in most of Europe got something to lean on :D

Thanks in advance.
^^

[Voldy]

Shame no midnight release UK time, could start the download then head to bed :o

[Kernnun]

I think demo will be released tomorrow. 10 AM Pacific Time.

That's like 17:00 GMT, tomorrow..

That is late for us in the EU :(

[dupton69]

Ofc i understand that.. hehe, but i'm sure they will get it before us non the less..

They will get axx to the entire game the 24th, 27th in EU....

[Robersdee24]

its the 10th in Europe now valve, press the button.

[Robersdee24]

still waiting valve

[ansib]

No demo at the moment either i'll check it tommorow morning i guess. But i'd rather leave it to download over night so my download doesn't go mega slow :/

This Demo will make my final decision on whether or not to pre order the game. And if you decide to purchase it. Buy it from Amazon. I think the Mafia II key will be able to register on your steam and its much cheaper from amazon (uk) too.

Guys it's released ON the 10th not at midnight.

In other words your most likely gonna get it around 10 PM Valve HQ time which would be around 6 PM in Britain, add hours as you go to the east.

Stop moaning and wait the ♥♥♥♥ patiently or go and seek a download site.

What the hell is your problem? I'm not moaning. Go do something production instead of flaming. I Googled and it said it'll Release 10th August. And here it is 10th August. But i guess your right so i'll just check it later on tommorow then. And again stop being so hot headed :o

[k37chup]

omfg it is 01:52 uk time and no demo..... ah well i go have a 9+ hour nap.

You have no concept of how time zones work, do you? The world does NOT revolve around you.

This from the official community site for Mafia II:

The Mafia II demo goes live tomorrow for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC. Want to know exactly when to expect the demo so you can be the first to download it? We have time windows so you can plan accordingly!

PS3 North America: August 10, 4 - 6 PM PT / August 11, 12 AM – 2 AM GMT
PS3 International: August 11, 12:01 - 6 AM PT / August 11, 8 AM - 2 PM GMT
Xbox 360: August 10, 2 - 4 AM PT / August 10, 10 AM – 12 PM GMT
PC: August 10, 12 AM PT / August 10, 8 AM GMT
IF Valve has the demo out at midnight PST, there are still FIVE hours to wait.

[Kernnun]

It just clicked over to midnight. Calm the hell down.

[ruvapost]

Boring to wait on a Demo and ho punch the button. If not son you gonna get a piece of the CAKE... beep.

[StabbyStabStab]

:D I was actually joking but SPUF doesnt understand jokes

[EmptySkin]

my guess is it doesnt come till 9-11am

[ruvapost]

Now The Mafia 2 is gone from the front page. Soon the many ears waiting is over.

[Hvk]

Waiting too, It's like our own mini forum/mafia version of the sc2 release.. Back to my Kane & Lynch 2 multiplayer demo while we wait :P

[agent47]

the suspense is killing me!

[JK_DC]

I still see it.

[Doctor_Hades]

It's actually 8:12am here in England where I live but according to a 2K thread the GMT time is actually 7:12am so it looks like the PC demo won't be released until 9am where I am... when I'm at work. Drat... I was hoping to download it before I left at 8:45am. :(

[EmptySkin]

my internet is slow and i want to start this before i go to bed. 2 GBs will take like 10 hours...

[klex]

it's out go download it.

[Hvk]

Yeah boys, it's up! dling now! :D:D:D

[Mr_Clark86]

downloading, will post impressions later today most likely

[FulValBot (ITA)]

faster for me this download :D

[truantx]

How many gigs is the download? I was spamming the 'next' button while installing and missed seeing the size.

[Bjoern]

How many gigs is the download?

1GB

5chars.

[Doctor_Hades]

I was getting 1 MB/sec download speeds and now the demo has paused! Why, why, WHY???

[FulValBot (ITA)]

right clic, paused, right clic, resume.

[Mr_Clark86]

downloaded for me in less than 10 minutes....

[Funky.H.BusGuy]

Gettin good download speeds.

[truantx]

Same. It's actually going 200k higher than what my isp caps me at.

[FulValBot (ITA)]

don't check current rate, is broken...

[Mr_Clark86]

Alright, just played thru it once, didn't do much exploring, but it's a must buy for me. Was planning on pre-ordering the CE but now I know I will. Gameplay was fun overall, driving feels very well tuned, shooting seems good, cover system works, dialog is REALLY good and the cinematics are very well done. Looks gorgeous. Playboy.

Ran well on my system @ 35fps:
2.6ghz dual core 64 bit
9800gt 1 gb
2gb ram (my other 4 gigs went bad, surprisingly it ran well with only 2 gigs)

[MarkcusD]

Nice demo. The gun play seems good (much better than GTA). Good looking game on my system. I'll try it in 3D tomorrow.

[gamestud2010]

good game to bad it did let us drop him at the DR its must buy
now hard to choose steam or D2D for free mafia 1 or get DLC 2 pack from gamestop but i got a D2D 5$ off coupon but i like my mafia 1 to be on stam RRR to hard to choose with so many choices so little time left
