Doom3 already leaked...

RobertFoster

According to Eurogamer Doom3 ISO's have been leaked already, with people reporting 27,000 people currently downloading it via bit torrent.

I wonder if too much hype can be a bad thing, resulting in that amount of pirates?

Nothing new here. Every game that hits retail is available for download, sometimes even before.

Giblet

Most of them might still buy it, if they want working keys that is.

For some reason, I still have an aversion to software piracy. Maybe its because I think the games industry is more hard-working and honest than the music industry. Maybe its because I'm a software developer. I'll be buying it as soon as I can get my hands on it in a retail outlet.

evad_lhorg

Ah I can run it so. with lots of power left over,

Although I wasnt really a fan of the other doom games.

ChipZilla

I'm grabbing it just now - purely to evaluate its performance on my machine of course. If it's as sh*t hot as they say I'd have no problems forking out for a kosher copy on release day.

It's because ur a software developer and you wouldn't like ur blood sweat n tears being download by some spotty teenager, just because the "graphics r k3wl"

Qualified to be a Software Developer!!

Anyway, I have ordered it from the web and was invoiced today. I will be downloading in it so I can play it until it arrives..

Ah now, none of that talk around these parts...

How would you normally play a game though? Install the data FROM THE CD and then run the game...

Doodee

in all fairness this was inevitable. If it hadn't been warez before the release then it deffo would be up on the day.

I'm gonna download the game, and im gonna play it. And if its worthy of purchase then it shall be done so.

As someone said to me, serves them right for not releasing a demo.

BKtje

Already purchased (well pre-ordered) but was hoping i could get a sneak peak before as im really lookin forward to this!

Fenster

Personally I download games as the demos don't give me the full story of a game. If I like it, I'll buy it, if not I'll delete it. No loss.

OfflerCrocGod

How can you wait?? I can't stay put for 12 days when I know I can get it now - so I do, there is so much hype around this game even my sis wants to see this. I just hope that it lives up to the press build-up :cool: I think it will - I'll find out in 5 hours . Has anyone seen the American Boxes!!!, they look really well designed us poor sobs in EIRE are getting cheap DVD cases

bizmark

You people have no self control im more than willing to wait the few days

hours? for one and a half gigs? not on 512/128 even with 50k/s speeds youd be more than "hours"

balkieb2002

If anyone wants a sneak peak at the game, i have the manual, if ya want a looksy. Bunch of big pics showing all the pages etc..

get it from [insert link to copyrighted material here]

be sure to rename to .rar


It would take ya approx about 9hrs to get it on broadband so i should have it (as a sneak preview of course) by the time i come in from work tonight

kensutz

i got it at steady rates from newsgroups.

Civilian_Target

I don't have BB at home, so I'm going to wait and see. If it's any good, I'll buy it.

Celt

When I checked at 4pm it was closer to 45000, on suprnova alone.

Has to be well over 100k overall..

CombatCow

I counted 60 thousand ppl downloading it on suprnova,impressive number...... getting it now, should give me somthing to play tomorrow,still gonna buy it tho.

evad_lhorg

agreed mr_angry

game developers are the cream of the crop in the entertainment world

i dont think id bother downloading it, anything that could take more that 1 hour to download, and hogs all the bandwidth, just doesnt seem worth it

Thats copyrighted material that you shouldn't be putting up for download or even have, not sure how the mods will view it but id expect a banning if I were you....

jesus_thats_gre

Am getting two copies myself.. Just in case.. Averaging about 10kbps on each though

Same here I started this morning using the [INSERT BANNING OFFENCE HERE] torrent but now that guys seems to have buggered off and everyone is stuck at 55%:mad:. So I've been forced to start another one - I wont be playing this today after all. I expect better service from my warez sites :rolleyes:


[Thank you for using the Games Moderator service, enjoy your 2 month ban]

Azza

I picked up early alphas on Bittorrent as well a few month back and that was a 650meg dowload on a isdn line. Took about 20 hours I reckon. Its the only time I have every download a leaked beta with the exception of a phew leaked patchs. I get a max download speed of 7.6k as well. If you think thats bad I download almost 3 Gigs of mods (mostly for battlefield and unreal tournament 2004) in the space of about 1 week.

kensutz

anyone know a decent program to get screenshots taken of it in action?

zAbbo

heres one using fraps,
