No Gears of War Demo :(

Despite rumors floating around stating otherwise, Beyond Unreal has some comments from Epic's Mark Rein clearly stating that there will not be a demo for Gears of War on Xbox Live! anytime soon. He also comments on some bad "screenshots" floating around:

There is no chance a demo level of Gears is hitting the Xbox Live Marketplace this month, next month or the month after that. We love the Xbox Live Marketplace and Xbox Live Arcade and have lots of cool ideas how we can leverage them but not until the game is finished and we don't realistically know when that will be at this point in time. I can tell you however that the game is incredible and there will be lots of cool stuff in it that you didn't expect to see. Sorry for the tease.

Now, about those screenshots. Those are NOT new screen shots. In fact they're quite old and some aren't Gears at all. Here's what I wrote about them in a different thread on this forum...
