General Information:
This is a trial version of a japanese game called Berserk Millennium Falcon Hen Seima Senki no Sho (ベルセルク 千年帝国の鷹篇 聖魔戦記の章) for the PS2. The Demo was packaged with a limited edition of the game Vampire Panic in Japan. The game is based on the manga Berserk (who would have guessed!) and covers the manga volumes 22-27.
The TGS Demo contains a small portion of chapter 4 showcasing the troll fight in the village and eventually fight agains the Ogle, once defeated the demo ends. The Demo overall contains little differences here and there from the final game.
Datamining:
Now this is where it gets really intresting. A friend of mine SolidSnake11 digged into the files for me and was actually able to locate a unhooked debug menu inside the files. After a lot of work he was actually able to program a proper way to load it into the game. Unfortunatley the menu doesn't work properly but it exists.
After some checking it turns out the TGS Demo is the only known build so far to the contain the menu.
There are also some unused images in the Demo wich were probably from older demos used at other TGS shows.
Also heres an full out of map exploration, showcasing some of the differences hidden inside the demo.
Screenshots:
And at the very least...
