Gold - Deus Ex: Invisible War

Eidos sends word that Deus Ex: Invisible War, the highly anticipated follow-up to Deus Ex, is now gold. Here's the announcement:

As we near the Thanksgiving break, we want to keep with tradition and give thanks for the good things in life. What could possibly be better than announcing to the gaming community abroad that their anticipation is truly almost over. We are pleased to report that Deus Ex: Invisible War has OFFICIALLY GONE GOLD for both the Xbox and PC!!!! The day is now almost at hand when gamers no longer follow the leader being spoon fed their experience when they pick up the controller. Invisible War lets the player take the lead in their own gaming experience and create the world around them. The choices you make, the actions you take the directives you follow...or choose not to...will all play a key role. On December 3rd, Deus Ex: Invisible War hits retail shelves across North America....how will YOU choose to fight?

Creston, everything you say makes perfect sense, but try the demo first. The majority of all the positive remarks come from people who haven't seen the game for themselves. I guarantee the overall response would be more positive if the game ran like it's supposed to on high-end machines. You have to admit something is definitely wrong when people with the latest Geforce and Radeon cards have to play at 800x600 for a decent framerate. Especially when there's nothing visibly draining processor power.

Mad Max, I totally agree with you. However, the entire Internet is currently being linked to the "Mod your DX : IW Demo" thread on the Ion forums, which has improved performance by a billion percent for most people. Yes, it sucks that you have to do that, but I think that in the full version, they will at least have fixed that. It's just settings in an .ini file, won't take THAT long for them to change that on their Gold Master.
This is the kind of shit that happens when you are rushed to try to release a demo that receives very little testing.

Btw, it's actually still sticking true to vein compared to the first Deus Ex. Remember how badly it ran on Nvidia cards, and Ion had to release a new version of some .dll after two weeks to get Nvidia users up to a decent framerate? Nothing we haven't seen before, people.

As for trying the demo, I think I'll try the full game, then let you know what I think. If the game sucks, I'll be sure to let you know.
It's my point that for a game like Deus Ex, a Demo just DOESN'T work.
