Most likely. On Xbox 360 we do. You would have to get the demo at GameStop or some store that retails games.

Where'd you get your info fella? We didn't get a demo for the first one, and ME2 demo didn't come out till it hadn't reached "expected sales".
Bioware isn't known for their demos, so I doubt it, but I would be pleasantly surprised.

MW2's demo came out nearing a full year after release. You sound like a quantum physicists, stringing 2 & 2 together to make 9.
EDIT: No problem on the misunderstanding, I just wish your math worked........

It doesn't really pertain to the OP's original question, but according to B3ta's eyes, the MW2 demo came out no more than 2 months ago.
It's the third in 'recent demos'. Why argue over the irrelevant....(I should ask myself this, no?)

All we know is that some demos came out before the game, but not for all of them. Case solved.

Game demo's require an entire team to build and sculpt a particular portion of the game to a polished state while the rest of the game is not finished at all. RPGs are not very modular leading to demos being rare and difficult to produce. Remember the Jade Empire demo? The one that had no real connection to the game other than a few minutes of combat, taking place in an area that would be used totally different in retail.
*shrugs* I'd love for Bio to do a demo. But I doubt I'll see one. Also keep in mind, dev playable demo or tech demo is very different from a customer playable demo.

I'd be happy with a character creator. Or m!Hawke smothered in Nutella.

You forget to mention the obvious economic reason for developing a demo. DA2 should have no problem selling.

They should just polish the demo they've been exhibiting at cons and let us have that. The escape from Lothering would be a great demo, IMO.

I dont know if a demo would be such a good idea, Bioware games are renowned for there story, you cant put that in demos easily.
IMO, i think demos are only good for games that have really fun game play and is mainly about game play.
If a casual player downloaded the demo, he may not reckon the gamplay is okay and when he reaches the end, he might find the game intriguing, but not good enough to buy the game. If he bought the game in the first place without having the demo, he would continue on, and by the end of the game, hes really, really in to it, and it ends up being his favourite this year. My opinion.

You don't think you'll be able to wait? Do you have another option?

No, there won't be a demo.
There's always death.

Just do a demo of companions bonking each other brains out, that should make the full game sell.

Hell yes it did. I even imported the demo's Shepard to continue the game once my copy of Me2 showed up from Amazon.comaang001 wrote...

I´d like a demo even if it´s a few months later as with ME2. It can be done from actual gameplay and be used to get people who are doubtful about the game to buy it (or not).
ME2 didn´t get expected sales? What´s the point then in MEing DA?

This is a very frequent misconception, but what they exhibit at conventions isn't a demo as such, it's a build of the game with restrictions put in so that you can only see part of the game.
