If Crackdown and Saint's Row can pull off a demo, then Far Cry 2 can pull it off. By doing this they're pretty much screwing themselves out of the little PC sales they'd get because everyone's going to pirate this now like they did with Crysis to test it out and/or see how it is.

Actually I just remembered that Crysis had a demo and it was still pirated like crazy. However, by not doing a far cry 2 demo they're only making their PC situation even worse only this time they're going to have the likely strong sales from the 360 and ps3 to back it up this time.

That's the lamest excuse for not having a demo that I've ever seen.

And I believe the full quote was that there was no way they could make the demo shorter than 12 hours. LMAO.

Hmmm, I guess they forgot to place a "clock" into this engine, maybe they were afraid Konami would sue them, there was a timer in the first TMNT...

I played a demo of this at Wireless Festival in London last Friday.
Of course they can make a demo!

the real reason why far cry 2 demo isn't happening:

you can pretty much experience the whole game in 5 minutes because Crytek games are nothing more than glorified tech demos

I had hours of fun in the Burnout Paradise demo - I was amazed at how big the small area was, and so much to do! It basically guilted me into buying the full game - and I'm happy I did.

I dont buy modern PC games like this without a demo. My video card is not top end so I have no guarantee that it will run well and I am not going to take a chance buying a game that may or may not be playable at acceptable detail levels.

They dont understand that PC demos are important not just for gameplay but they allow people to see if the game will RUN on their computer. System requirements have never meant anything other than if you can install it or not, they have no bearing on actual gameplay.

yougamers.com and the systemrequirementslab are both great places to check "real" system requirements and the such. It's what I use and they're usually dead-on.

PLEASE, try to get some info on the map editor for Far Cry 2 on consoles. This feature was the saving grace of the first Far Cry and prolonged it's playtime for me exponentially.

FCI:P on the 360 sucked eggs, but the map editor was great fun, despite me not even having LIVE at the time of using it.

There is no point in demos these days.. I'd rather they concentrated resources on making the game good.
