The importance of this demo lies not in persuading me to buy it but in the fact that it might be something to tide me over untill the release; if it releases before hand that is.

If you can’t wait to kill zombies (like me), check out http://www.zombiemaster.org

It’s a pretty decent mod for the Source engine, and if you can find a decent server, it’s lots of fun. Try it out, it’ll grow on you. I was ready to quit after 15-20 min of play, but I kept at it, and it’s starting to become lots of fun. After surviving a few rounds, be sure to type MENU into the chat field, hit enter, and then hit escape to see the upgrade menu. You can spend points on getting more health, running faster, etc, etc. I would suggest the running faster perk and the ammo regen perk. :)

More important is the ‘how well will this run on my system crowd’

and the ‘close friend who is not utterly convinced of its awesomeness’ demographic

I’m kinda surprised at the ‘it doesn’t even need a demo!’ replies. Everything needs a demo. Ever. Games that should be often can just as easily suck as anything else.

I really hope a demo comes out before the game, but if not, we can wait ;)

@Devin:

I thought the same thing (re: Walon) when I saw that screenshot!

Is that Alannah Myles on the left in the first picture?

Indeed. As soon as I learned you could play this thing single-player, I set aside one of my children as a sacrifice to the dark gods, that they might ensure that I get a copy on release day.

Or… or I just stuck $60 in a jar. Yeah, that’s what I meant.

Bot support makes me a happy panda.

It’s kind of built on bot support. The previous game by the same team was Condition Zero.

Ah, that’s interesting. I didn’t know the game had bot support.

The main reason i’m considering going to the PC Gamer showdown is to give this a go!

‘it does look gorgeous for a source based game doesnt it?’

I dunno that I’m surprised, Episode 2 was pretty damn gorgeous too. =P
