Mega Man 11 Gets a Demo on PS4, Available Now

Defeat Block Man

by Stephen Tailby Fri 7th Sep 2018

Demos are few and far between these days, but the resurgent Capcom has seen fit to release one for its upcoming addition to the classic action franchise, Mega Man 11. What's more, the demo is available to download right now on PS4.

In this snippet of Mega Man's latest adventure, you'll be able to tackle Block Man's stage, fighting through the whole level before facing off against the boss itself. While not a lengthy demo, it provides a decent chunk of the game for you to get to grips with the blue bomber's new techniques, like the Double Gear system.

Ooooh, we like demos!! will download straight away. It's been a very long time since I last played a Mega Man game, and this is a good way to find out whether I still enjoy it.

Cool. It's not available in the US store, yet but I actually played the Japanese demo earlier.

@FullbringIchigo "pretty good but still hard and why the hell any modern games still uses a lives system is beyond me"

I'll give the demo a whirl but likely skip the game, but my kid may be happy, he's always up for a challenge. Don't know where he gets it from, but I'm happy for him.

As with @NintendoFan4Lyf I also tried the demo on Switch. Not a bad game. Not day one but I’ll get it eventually. Maybe on PS4.

I'm a big Mega Man fan but this is average at best so far, gameplay was ok if nothing special but the music was poor and the voice acting not great, whilst the backgrounds were a bit bland for the majority. Still plenty of stages to see so I'm still hopeful the game will be good overall

Capcom have a community challenge tied to this. If send a screenshot to twitter, facebook or instagram with #BustBlockMan when you defeat him then you'll chip away at the block man statue on Capcom's website. And if the statue is completely destroyed then everyone who played the demo get a set of one time items to use in the full game.

I'll try it out later, though it's unlikely to be a Day 1 purchase for me since I haven't yet got round to playing 8 9 and 10 from the 2nd Legacy Collection.

I preferred playing the demo on PS4 Pro. I love the Dualshock's dpad and prefer it over JoyCon and Pro Controller (I own one with a buggy dpad though, not the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 themed redesign). Also, I thought that it looked and ran a bit better on Sony's console. I had some slowdowns on Switch in the area with the falling blocks that you can traverse by jumping on them.
