Thumbs down No demo planned for GoW2
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.

The gamers think it's stupid, but Epic doesn't mind it will keep you waiting and wanting more.

I didn't expect there to be a demo actually. A lot of big games (obviously with a few exceptions) don't feel the need to make a demo because they predict the game will do well or even better without one. I will rent it or borrow it from a friend, I rarely buy a game based off of a trailer unless it's amazing, and GoW2 doesn't look "amazing"...yet.

Demos make people decide if they're going to buy the game or never buy it.

I get disappointed with demos.
there have been very few games I've played were the demo was awesome, but the game sucked. But I have played demos and got the assumption that the game sucked but the game was pretty good. (e.g. Lost Planet) I thought the demo sucked, but when I went over to one of my friends house's to play it, it was really good.
