    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.

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

    Ill buy it regardless. Might have a peek before then..

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,918 ✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 954 ✭✭✭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!! :p

    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..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,918 ✭✭✭evad_lhorg


    If I download the isos how can I play it?

    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...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,422 ✭✭✭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.

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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,763 ✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,341 ✭✭✭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 :p. Has anyone seen the American Boxes!!!, they look really well designed us poor sobs in EIRE are getting cheap DVD cases:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,892 ✭✭✭bizmark


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

    Aways before retail release, usually 2 weeks before because thats when the distrabution starts in preperation for the shop release. I see the manual is got released as well with is unuasual.

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,839 ✭✭✭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..

    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 :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,204 ✭✭✭kensutz

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,618 ✭✭✭Civilian_Target
