No Gears Of War 2 Demo For You!
Sorry, Charley, but you're going to have to wait all the way until November 3 to get a taste of what Epic Megagames has in store for Gears of War 2. Tanya Jessen, producer for Gears of War 2 laid out the reasons why it is better for them to forego producing a demo, and in knowing how development for major products tends to work out, I have to agree with Epic's decision.
"[There are] no plans for a demo... The reason being that it's been such a fast turnaround. A two year production cycle, for a game of this caliber, is really short."
"Our focus is always on putting out the best possible game we can," she continued. "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."
While it's disappointing to know that you won't be able to sample some of the sweetness that will be Gears of War 2 prior to the release date, multiplayer demo or not, it is reassuring that they are pushing all of their energy toward ensuring a fully-tweaked and viable title from ship date.
