No Gears of War Demo
This week’s big announcement – that Gears of War launch day will be November 12th – left many gamers disappointed. Not about the fact that GoW is coming out in November, but that they were hoping the big surprise would be so much more. Like maybe, a demo.
However, Epic Games‘ Mark Rein has dashed fans hopes. He says don’t expect a demo anytime before the game’s release. In an Epic forum post, Rein comments, “I don’t see any way we could do a demo before the game comes out, we’ve said that before. Demos take a long time to create and polish, and we can’t afford to get derailed like that if we want to have the game in stores by Thanksgiving.”
Rein added, “I know we have some very cool plans – not 100 percent solid so too early to give any specifics – for additional downloadable, so that might take a higher priority than creating a demo.”
Of course, this doesn’t rule out a demo after Gears of War is released. Gears of War will be out on Xbox 360 on November 17th in Europe and November 12th in America.
