The executive producer of Visceral Games Steve Papoutsis said in an
interview released on G4 TV that
Dead Space 2 will benefit from a demo before the game, so that everyone can test it in advance. Papoutsis also said that the demo of the first title was too difficult and not all effectively demonstrate the strengths of the game: this time it will focus instead on a demo that allows you to experience all the features of the title. However the game is scheduled for release by year end, so even for the demo we will have to wait several months.
