If youre worried about performance, give the Unreal Tournement 3 demo a try. It should give you a rough idea whether or not you are able to play it.

If youre worried about content, then let me put my $0.02 in: Gears of War is an awesome game, and definately a worthy purchase. Its a little short, but the added content should increase it up to about 8 hours or so (from the original 6 it took me on 360).

I really hope there is a demo, but then again I already want like four games over the next two months I dont need to slap on a fifth one.

For your system i'd say build a whole new one. You need at least core 2 duo, 2 gig ram, and an 8600 gt to enjoy the game. You might be able to run it on low but you will lag for sure.

I hope there is a demo.
My pc runs the UT3 demo on high settings with no problems so I am sure it will run fine.

But a demo would give me a chance to check out the gameplay...
- the third person view and how it helps or doesn't
- not to mention all that duck and shoot over cover
- and more importantly the AI

if you dont buy because there is no demo, you might as well just go to the consoles.

You again... I don't play consoles I am a PC gamer and PC gamers like demos so they can try the game out on the PC. If a PC game doesn't have a demo are they trying to hide its optimization? I'm not going to buy a game just because it was popular on consoles. Without a demo, alot of people won't buy it...

all of you again...

HELLO! yea I think hes right. A demo is a great way to advertise and give us a taste of gameplay, although i must say that the Crysis demo was messed up because everyone began whining about graphics and power, again not hardwares fault like i mentioned in another topic.

DEMOS FTW!

I agree with the above. I beat GoW on all skill levels with a buddy on the X360 and plan to get it for the PC, since I don't own a X360.

FYI - even consoles have game demos nowadays.

Yeah, but it's not that relevant actually, the whole point of wanting a demo to be able to try before you buy remains the same no matter for which platform you're willing to maybe spend your money on a particular game.

If a developer provides a video, screenshots and a whole bunch of rants about features, the gameplay and so on, people should still be able to make a discision based upon that alone. There are probably about a million webpages that discuss games that you might consider buying .... and in fact you're on one right now. I'd say gather as much information about a game as possible before you buy. Downloading a demo can be one of the things you could do, but it's not like videos, screenshots and reviews don't say anything about a game experience.

I agree No demo, No buy im not gona play a game that I dont know if its gona run or have fun whit it

Is it really that hard to figure out if your PC isn't fast enough to run the newer games? Usually an old PC will always be slow when it comes to the latest next gen PC game. More recent games tend to demand a more powerful system. If you're wondering if a game still runs on your PC, it's probably time to earn some money and upgrade your system.

Lets take the Crysis demo for example. People shouldn't have the illusion that a PC that runs Far Cry on it's highest settings might still run Crysis on it's highest settings. It's just stupid.
