No Gears of War 2 demo

By James Orry - 21/04/2008 - 11:55am GMT

The development schedule is too tight to fit in a demo.

Epic Games associate producer Tanya Jessen has told Shacknews that there are currently "no plans" for a Gears of War 2 demo, citing a tight development schedule as the primary reason.

"The reason being that it's been such a fast turnaround. A two year production cycle, for a game of this calibre, is really short," explained Jessen. "Whenever you do a demo, you have to basically ship a whole separate product. As far as our plans after we ship, I can't really speak to that."

It's not like the game needs a demo though. The first game has sold over 4.5 million units worldwide and no demo was released on Xbox 360.

Gears of War 2 is scheduled for release exclusively for Xbox 360 in November.

Junemas	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Do we really need a demo? I sure don't, I'll keep in mind that the original was a demo for the second, just a glimpse of what's to come. The first Gears paved way for whats to come from Gears as a series and proved the 360's power, this time with Unreal Engine 3 being improved upon, better graphics, better a.i. and even more enemies on screen at once. The first sold 4.5 million on the 360 alone with out a demo I wouldn't expect anything less of part 2. Report Reply
