No demo planned for Gears of War 2

Epic fans hoping for a little pre-release Locust-slaying action will be disappointed to hear that no demo is planned for Gears of War 2. The first taste of the roadie-running action title will have to come when the full version is released sometime in November.

According to associate producer Tanya Jessen, producing a demo takes valuable time out of a game’s development cycle, and with a two-year turnaround for Gears 2 a demo was simply not feasible. The first Gears of War also lacked a demo version, and with recent reports that demos aren’t as great as publishers think they are, we have to trust that the folks at Epic know exactly what they’re doing.
