2006-03-03 21:01:17 Blue Dragon was just on Marketplace then removed!

Wow oh my god...blue dragon was just on the xbox live marketplace in the demos section and it was an ACTUAL demo... then I start my download it was about 600MB forgot exact number, but I know it was in the 600MB size range and then at 8% of my download got totally cut off and now its gone from the list totally...

Think someone made a mistake by putting it up too early?

2006-03-03 21:06:42

if you have a japanese account check that, maybe it got sent to the wrong servers?

2006-03-03 21:06:52

haha wierd, hope its gonna be put up soon anyways :P

2006-03-03 21:08:31

You're right slabs I'm going to check the japanese account maybe its over there or something.

2006-03-03 22:07:00

are u sure it wasnt a video?

2006-03-03 22:12:06

If you downloaded more than 1% of it, you should find it in the memory section in the Dashboard. Please try and take a picture of that list with the game file visible, would be nice.

2006-03-03 22:13:31

yes. something fishy about u

2006-03-03 22:19:52

that's weird...

2006-03-03 22:20:47

I think you just get "incomplete data" on the HDD but if you selected the same file in the marketplace it would resume

2006-03-03 22:56:43

It's not avaliable in Japan I checked. I think optimus has been smoking a little to much sumthin sumthin. Lay off the drugs boy there starting to affect your vision

2006-03-03 23:01:37

No it was really there I'm positive it wasn't just a video either. It was DEFINETLY a demo i'm 100% sure about this.

Then again I wish I could somehow capture the screen in some manner so I could prove to you guys it was really there.

What I downloaded of the blue dragon demo is listed as Incomplete Hard Drive.

Sakaguchi has said since awhile back that it'd be possible to make a demo of blue dragon and maybe microsoft already has that demo and are waiting for the right time to release it. E3 possibly? As a way of letting 360 owners experience a piece of E3 without being there? Or maybe we just wont see the demo till the game is close to being released, but I'm sitting here sure as hell that what I was downloading was called Blue Dragon and was in the demos and trailers section of the xbox live marketplace and was in the range of about 600MB+

2006-03-03 23:29:30

There is the possibility it was another game uploaded and mislabeled by someone on the XBL side.

2006-03-03 23:42:01

Thats the thing it couldn't possibly be such a thing that took place because there was a description mentioning how blue dragon represents the first of legendary japanese developer hironobu sakaguchi's leap into the next generation and he has selected the 360 as the primary destination for his return to the industry.

Something along the lines of that didn't read through the whole thing or rather when I figured I would the download just disconnected on me. What I found pretty funny is WHAT IF i would've finished downloading that thing i'd actually be able to play blue dragon before alot of other people :)

If only you had been quicker!
You could have got in the Xboxyde halls of fame!

2006-03-03 23:46:30

or Microsoft's hall of shame

Don't you have a digital or web camera in your house? If not, it should be worth just borrowing a friend's camera.

2006-03-04 13:49:56

Isn't the Lost Odyssey demo supposed to come first?

2006-03-04 13:57:29 In reply to lumzi23 (2006-03-04 13:49:56)

No. Blue Dragon will come before Lost Odyssey.

2006-03-04 17:53:10 In reply to lumzi23 (2006-03-04 13:49:56)

Yes the LO demo is supposed to be out around E3, I haven't heard anything in regards to a BD demo.

I think Optimus is seeing things again, wait up was that a Halo 3 demo i just saw..

2006-03-04 20:23:23

No jolli trust me it was seriously there i'm not mistaken about it at all. I

remember awhile back sakaguchi said all the basic gameplay elements are in place it would infact be possible to make a blue dragon demo, its apparent now after seeing what I saw that it indeed has been made or maybe they wont be putting that version up I was downloading maybe they'll change it, but it was definetly a blue dragon demo.

Man I would've loved to finish downloading that demo so I could get a feeling of what that game is like. Also a webcam wont do me any good now as its gone, I don't have a webcam but I do have a camcorder though but how was I suppose to know what I was downloading would be gone when I hit 8% complete I mean people haven't exactly recorded themselves downloading content from xbox live before to my knowledge (Only recording i've seen is some geometry wars action)

While I was downloading it I was thinking to myself currently someone has probably reported seeing this on some forum and people are going crazy right now.

take a damn picture already

2006-03-04 23:01:51

Demo listed as incomplete Hard Drive

2006-03-04 23:07:35 In reply to Optimusv2 (2006-03-04 20:23:23)

Yeah, there must have been more people who have seen this?

2006-03-05 01:47:37

I sure hope so cause then people will know that it was really there, but its not my job to really convince anyone because if the incomplete files showed a proper file name then i could find a way to show that it says blue dragon, but since I can't there is really no way to prove it.
