D3 demo@quakecon

O_o

A lot of people wouldn't download a 300MB demo. I would, sure, but other wouldn't.

[Fredrik]

I'd certainly download 300 MB of a demo (1-2 hours for me depending on the server). But yeah, it's a shame that Internet connection speed isn't increasing in the same pace as the hard drives.

Heh...

/me wants a 120GBps internet connection.

Demos appear on the cover CD's of games magazines as well. And some websites put the file on a CD if you pay a few $ for it. I know, both ways it will cost you some money, but so does a cable/adsl connection.

i'm not picky. . . anything would be better than my dial-up.

Companies are not going to wait for people to upgrade to cable or DSL just because you cant afford it or it is not available. Just the way it is. *kisses cable modem*

[Arno]

I forgot to mention that the cheapest and easiest way to obtain a demo is to have a friend with similar interests who downloads the file and burns it to CD-R for you.

oh . . . you . . . bastard. . .

Out of all the PC magizines out there that have covered Doom³, PC Gamer seems to have had the most, I wonder if perhaps they will inclue a demo on their cd? Or if there's a mag that covered Quakecon. I have dial-up, but if it comes out there'll be some way to get it. Either that or wait. A lot of people, including me have gotten a taste already *coughalphacough* I can only imagine how much better a demo or the full version will be.

They will, but it takes them a while to do it. So, when it's released, PCG won't publish it for at least two months.

Seems id software will release a Doom3 demo at Quakecon consisting of 2 levels. (Could be a lie, but whatever. It'd make sense)

Soundz zweet!!!

[deathbringer]

Bah at big file sizes, im on 56k but i either:

1-am very patient, and use a manager

2-get friends with broadband to download it and burn it for me (hey, he never did give me my asian gay porno's...)

There was some site i went to a while back for people who made games with stuff like multimedia fusion/the games factory, and everytime someone uploaded something over about 7 megs there was always some twats ranting about "nobody will download that, and i know teh 3v3rything!!!1"

Oh, and the content of the demo will probably be the same as the alpha, just tidied up with "Hah, that'll show you, you fuckers!" writen on a wall somewhere

[The_Aeromaster]

That'd be fine with me since I haven't played the alpha, and would teach all the motherfuckers using it.
