DEUS EX: INVISIBLE WAR DEMO PLANS REVEALED, NEW MOVIE
PC and Xbox demos of Invisible War coming in December, says Eidos. Warren Spector video interview and footage also inside
15:30 Gamers in the UK and Europe smarting over the two month gap between the release of Deus Ex: Invisible War in the US and on these shores are being given a soothing sticky plaster by Eidos in the shape of a demo.
Speaking to an Eidos representative earlier this week, we were informed of plans to release both a PC and Xbox demo of Ion Storm's first-person shooter-cum-RPG in December.
Obviously with the title due out on both formats in the US in the last month of the year, the appearance of a demo in December may be of little consequence to gamers Stateside.
However, for those in the UK and Europe looking forward to the game's heavy dose of action, role-playing and conspiracy-filled plot, it means that they will at least get to experience the title in some form prior to Christmas - and prior to the full game's arrival in February, of course.
Although Eidos has confirmed with us that an Xbox and PC demo of Deus Ex: IW will be out in December, an exact date has yet to be confirmed. The seventh or eight of the month was suggested, but it appears that nothing is yet written in stone. Demo content is being kept a closely guarded secret as well.

Good news.

I'm really looking forward to this game. I want to see a demo run on my PC before I buy any game though. I bought Tribes2 like the day it was released. Unfortunately, I couldn't play it for nearly a year until I upgraded. Don't wanna go through that all over again. :p

Hopefully along with the source code too...

So the two month delay has been confirmed then?
May I just say - what a fucking load of tosh! What pills have Eidos been popping that releasing DX:IW a full two months later seemed like a good idea?

Probably to translate it into German and French so they can release the game across Europe at once instead of staggering the releases...saves em money that way I'm sure.
But if you really wanna play it why not just import? I did that with Gothic II and saved months and months of waiting.

I don't belive the translation part is the big reason for the "late" european release. Seems to me that it's because of changes for the PAL release. And then M$ have to test it. And they want to release the PC version together with the Xbox version. Just my guess anyway :p
Still, the original DX was released in Europe 2 months after USA. It was released in June in USA, and in August in Europe.

I've waited for this game for 2 years. I guess I can wait a bit longer, and the demo will certainly be a welcome christmas present.

This isn't much consolation.
The original wasn't as highly anticipated as this one was.
Waiting two months will be torture.:mad:
