Mega Man X8 PC Demo

Post by Kyouryuu »

The latest chapter in the Mega Man X games released on the Playstation 2 earlier last year, but now there's a demo of it for the PC.

Click on the big red button at the bottom to download it (108 megs).

For the uninitiated, X8 is a traditional side-scroller implemented in a 3D environment. It stays very true to the old games while using the PS2 to push better special effects and graphics.

Interestingly, you can run it at 1600x1200, though the low-res nature of the PS2 texture work shows. Although it is a Japanese demo, it has full English subtitles and voices if you chose that option during the install.

Hum. I still need to find a way to play X4-7 first. All I ever played of the X series is X1-3 on SNES before they moved it to the psux.

Avder, with the exception of X4, you didn't miss much. Don't sour happy memories by playing X5-X7. Heheh.
