I was riding 02, and got an idea, why not to do that demo guys could connect to the server, BUT ONLY to spectate, they couldint do anything exept spectate, and do something that wouldint even cost us lag, even there would be 100 demo users, our pc would only handle people that has keys in the server, it would feel pretty fun i guess, to feel that someone is really watching ya or something like that hahah, people would invite them, to see the organised races, and maybe some of this stuff would make them to buy the game.. as adverstatment.

they couldint do anything, chat or something, just spectate . what u guys think about that? sorry for my bad english tho hahahaha.

I like the idea! The demo users would buy the game when they see the sx races

Ye maybe it should be good, BUT they have to download the track and put it into their personal folder, can't they ride the track then?

This would be a way to get the big organized races out there. People that doesnt play the game could download the demo and watch.

Yea, the chat isn't ridiculous enough as it is...
If you want to watch the SX races watch the livestream, derp....

Your entire suggestion is exactly the the livestream of the races already is. With the exception that the livestream is much easier for people who don't have the game but may be interested in it to actually view, and has more to offer, like the ability to chat....

But he is saying that it would be cool if they can join in and spectate on any race, not just the bug races.
You should read the first post again.

and in livestreams u cant see what u want, + no offence buy they arent greatest ones.. , it would be better solution to make demo users see what they want to, see how the people whips the triples etc.. , and now livestream is just showing top 5... yeah same as irl.. but thats why irl people goes to watch it real.. even they cant see top 5 battle so good, but they want to see 1 section, and ur watching every rider doing it.. , its hard to explain, but im not diggin live streams

would be a good idea if we DIDNT have live stream.
and really in all honestly, i don't think its going to change the outcome of someones decision to buy the game. There gonna buy it or not if they are not in a hardship, they see whats being produce and whats going on from the forums to youtube to sx series. People who keep running the demo are just being huge Jews like shack

or are incapable or purchasing for their own reasons. It defeats the purpose of the livestreaming that everyone has worked hard on putting on for the public.

So you're suggesting that by being able to see how terrible the racing is when there is no moderation in place that would make people want to buy the game? LOL. If people saw how out of control the pick-up racing was in this game they would run screaming the other way.
