F.E.A.R. 2 scares up demo January 22

[Prime]

Using its guerrilla marketing firm's psychic powers division, Warner Bros. Interactive made us prick our fingers and write on the walls in blood: a demo for F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin is coming January 22nd. The press release Warner sent soon after was just as effective at getting the point across.

The demo will be available to all on Xbox 360, PC and PS3 starting next week; however, the PS3 demo is available right now for Qore subscribers. Download it ... if you dare. Alma is waiting. (cue: rain noise, thunder and demonic laugh.)

awesome i can run it.

The recommended is only a 8600 GTS? That's pretty amazing as that's the card I have. But I only have a Pentium D dual core (3.0GHz) so that will probably not even come close to a Core 2 Duo... Though I honestly hope that the 8600 GTS thing is accurate. The graphics engine must be pretty optimized or something.

Edit: Dang, just noticed it said 512MB card. Mine is the old one with 256 I guess.

Specs look comfortably in range, which is great. Just a shame my computer's being repaired at the moment (and will still be when the demo comes out). Still, it's rare these days to see a PC demo for a major release. Kudos to Monolith for bringing it to us PC users as well
