magik Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Rumor: GEARS OF WAR DEMO COMING OCT 12TH Gears of War just got all viral on us. People who subscribed to the game's official site received an email this morning with a cryptic message and even more cryptic link.The message seems to be a bit of coalition propaganda, but a dozen of the words in the paragraph are hyperlinks to the same page. The links all point to a sub-page of the Gears of War site called 48HrsExclusiveAccess. The page first shows a little black and white security video of Marcus Fenix in a prison cell and then goes black. You're give three matches to light and explore a wall on the page. If you click on any of the four messages you find there you get to see four different videos showing backstory and some gameplay. More interesting is the fact that the dozen words that are hyperlinks in the email form the sentence: Marcus Fenix has been located. You have 48 hours to mobilize. The question is what does that mean. It could mean that the linked page is only around for 48 hours or, let's hold our breath, that we will be perhaps getting a demo of Gears of War in two days. Go, rend the site, let us know what you come up with. The full email is on the jump.

The underlined words all linked to http://www.gearsofwar.com/48hrsexclusiveaccess/ When you put the words together it creates "Marcus Fenix has been located You have 48 hours to mobilize" I thought it was a pretty awesome teaser site, you should check it out while you still can.

Trong Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Aww, I vowed to quit Neowin since I got my 40% warning but I'm just so darn excited about GoW! If the warning thing actually goes down in 6 months, I should lose 20% on the 13th of October!

Oh, I don't mind. A separate thread is probably better anyway since this is pretty big news... I was just wondering if we were referring to the same thing. :cool: Yeah, a demo would be sweet. Although part of me thinks it would be better to wait for emergance day and get the full effect. :DYea, I definitely agree, but you can bet I won't be able to resist trying out the demo if it does come out! :devil: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/502522-new-gears-of-war-site/#findComment-587945588 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lingwo Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I thought Epic already said that no GoW demo is planned before release because they were working their ass off trying to get the game finished for november Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/502522-new-gears-of-war-site/#findComment-587946139 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PabUK Veteran Posted October 11, 2006 Veteran Share Posted October 11, 2006 Yeah they did. I can't see them having changed their minds either, with the game being as hyped as it is it probably wouldn't get them any more sales anyway. It makes more sense for them to put the effort into polishing the game for release, then working on a demo later to try and attract those that didn't buy the game on release.

Remysaus Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I'd be happy with some HD-video since all I saw were some crappy cam-vids from the E3 demo and the trailers...
