Unreal 2 Demo noch nicht vom Tisch

Laut einer E-Mail von Legend Entertainment an die Kollegen von Unreal Ops ist eine Unreal-2-Demo doch noch möglich:
I apologize for not paying more attention to this topic earlier. By throwing my two cents in at that point, we might have been able to avoid a lot of the controversy.
What Headup said wasn't entirely true, although it's easy to understand how he came to this conclusion. While Legend was working on Unreal II, there was absolutely no time to produce a demo, and whenever asked, we would say, "There are no current plans to produce one, but you never know."
Now that Unreal II has gone gold, we've been exploring the possibility with Infogrames and Epic, which is something that Headup wasn’t aware of. FWIW, everyone involved—including Legend—is very conscious of the benefits of a demo, and we’d all love to do it. I hope to have more news soon.
Also FWIW, don’t read anything into Headup’s post concerning Legend’s dedication to supporting Unreal 2. Even while Legend transitions onto other projects, Unreal 2 is still our top priority.
Only a few more days now until the game is on shelves. I’m really looking forward to seeing what everyone thinks about the game.
Es sind also vage Hoffnungen erlaubt. Übrigens: Auf der offiziellen Homepage findet sich das erste Testergebnis zu Unreal 2: Satte 94% hat der Action-Kracher von einem englischen Spielemagazin eingeheimst. Es wird als das beste Game aller Zeiten gelobt. Man kann für die Spielergemeinde nur hoffen, dass dem so ist.
