Maybe he's referring to the fact that those who have played it said the whole game is pretty much hiding behind cover, and that when you do get killed you don't respawn (a la cs).  I want to respawn...

Well Cliffy has said all along that the game is like a real battlle scenario, in real life you can't just run around shooting at everything that moves.
You definately need to take cover in this game, I found out the hard way.
I got curve stomped twice and executed once.

As far as respawning is concerned, there wasn't none in the demo we played (at the TCM screening).
But I'm not so sure that it's not an option.
And even if it isn't an option, you still have a chance after you go down.
You don't die instantly, your player drops bleeding to death.
You can prolong your life by repeatedly hitting the A button to slow the bleeding down.
Your comrades can revive you if they're able to get to you before you die.
I like this new approach actually. It forces your buddies to rely on team work.
Losing a teammate can really affect the outcome of the match so you not only have to make sure you take cover, but you have to make sure your teammates stay alive. And if they go down, you need to make sure that you get to them fast enough to revive them....

IF and only if a demo comes out I can only imagine that it would be multiplayer or possibly what we have seen in walkthroughs of the single player...  Epic doesn't want to give out the story they do however like to feed us more info on the story to entice us more... but we'll see when the day comes...

I work at Gamestop (I loathe it as much as you do) and I remember talking with my manager over a nationwide midnight viewing "party" for Gears of War.  All it is is us showing a preview of the game, not a demo. This might be what the website talking about... and if it is, don't waste your time.

Game Stop and EB are going to have a demo party! Thats what got leaked! My friend is a Mgr and told me that it will be a beta demo for people to try, and he played the multi player at the mgr meeting and said it was the Awsome!! He was glad that they waited to bring it out because the last time he saw it , it wasn't that great!

I work at Best Buy, and the M$ rep came in last week.  He said he would be back this week, hopefully tomorrow, to 'update' our demo 360.  He also said something about tearing down the Madden 07 stuff around the 360 and putting up the GOW stuff.  That sounds like either some new gameplay footage, or a demo.

I don't know if anybody's noticed but the link has changed from

www.gearsofwar.com/48hrsexclusiveaccess
to
www.gearsofwar.com/emergenceday

Wouldn't that be cool if they were changing the release date of the game!

No respawn = A Last Man Standing game.

Of which I'm a big fan of.

This is getting unbareable (spelling, lol). I need this game. These are the kinda games people play games for. A+ production and killing o' plenty. Bring it on.

[AntiEmo]

I've seen the demo at my GameStop.











Just kidding  

I'm going to GameStop in a little bit though so we shall find out.

3 days and still no demo. what the hell are MS doing.

Ever heard the word Hype used with a video game???

[DV8ORMODS]

the problemis there willbe no gearsof war demo until release date

[melongstrike]

I wouldn't release a demo of the game either... I figure if the game is as good as you guys made it out to be based on trailers, everyone will run out day 1 and purchase it.

If there is a demo and someone see's something they might not like they may not purchase it. The way it stands right now a demo can only hurt the sales performance of GOW since everyone has full intentions of buying it anyway... at least from my marketing background point of view.

I hope the game rocks so I can purchase my 1st game for my 360 but with my thoughts of the game looking like a kill switch with beefed up graphics with monsters and no demo to put my soul at rest I am going to Block buster this title then decide what to do... like all other titles I decided not to buy.

So once again do not expect a demo till after 2 maybe 3 weeks or untill sales for the game begin to level out, then I would release the demo for everyone else who has not purchased it during the 1st few weeks.
