"DOOM 3 - PC version leaked."

the PC version on Doom3 has been leaked over the net. dont know if you guys know this.

i havent got it but have played it at a friends house.

he had the settings turned down, and it looks great, it feels great, and its really not as scary as people are saying.

really when something jumps out at you, you just jump and then laugh as you shotguhn off its head.

its put me in a great mood for the xbox version.

A t-shirt I think? Game are doing some special edition with a shirt
*shrugs*
Could be wrong though, it's just something I saw earlier and can't be bothered to check out more.

Does anyone know what you get with the special edition that you dont with the normal?

That's not the point Bell.

By downloading a game you haven't paid for, you are guilty of piracy. And piracy, as our government tells us, funds terrorism and criminals and smugglers and other evils.

You can't say "Well there are more pressing things" simply because you've broken the law by downloading Doom 3 and not paying for it.
That's no different to somebody smoking dope, they don't think they're committing a crime either.

You either uphold your shiny staff of justice, or realise you are no different to other people that think "Yeah but what I do isn't really a crime"
It is, especially in your black and white world where you can berate Timmargh for using pot for medicinal purposes.
You've broken the law simply to play a game a week early and save yourself £25.

Tut tut, you'll never be admitted to Special CIA Training Academy now - no matter how many Rainbow Six games you play.

Problem is that the piracy is overseas, that's the serious stuff that really does fund all sorts of illegal activities. And nearly all of it is now being sold over the internet, and on eBay in particular. I'd say a good 70% of DVDs on eBay are now fake and copys.

Though to be honest, if the authorities want to crack down on illegal funding sources there are far more pressing things to look at such as people smuggling, drugs, counterfeiting, forced prostitution, illegal pornography etc

I agree, just like Product Activation for Windows XP.

As for the anti piracy messages, they should just say that it gets people unemployed. Because that's the only truth that isn't overly exxagerated.

The best ones are the billboard ads in Nottingham - a picture of a tv showing a shaky cam copy of Day After Tomorrow and the words (or similar) "90% of copies are like this". Which to me is a clear breach of trading standards as 90% aren't like that. I'd say 10% were.

The mess that is Doom 3 lies 100% with ID - I mean how retarded can you get going for a delayed launch in the UK? UK retailers have lost sales from people importing and people downloading it. Plus in this day and age would it not be an idea to spend some of the vast development budget on anti-piracy features - how about CD Key's being verified via the net instead of just offline - face it, if you can run Doon 3 then you have internet access.

The adverts in the cinema are worse.

There's like some fat guy, fire and a load of "pirated" cd's everywhere, as if to emulate some sort of vision from Hell.

Blockbuster try that now with their instore "Watch our DVDs" channel.

"Piracy funds criminals, helps to pay for their 'causes' and will herald the arrival of Saytan upon our planet" etc etc, whilst I peruse a wall of 19384 copies of the latest Paramount P.O.S release.

That message on my donnie darko dvd cracks me up everytime.

"Pirating funds organised crime. Pirating burns a hole in your pocket. Pirating funds terrorism"

*chuckles*

*crickets chirrup. In the distance a coyote howls mournfully*

Thanks Bell, I wasn't aware of that.
