Codemasters servers all screwed up for the release of the DiRT (pc) demo too. Pretty good going! Maybe they should move into digital distro.

Why don't companies use torrents for demos ffs? Speaking of which, whatever happened to Eurofiles?

because the temptation would be to big to download the whole game instead of just the demo?

Woo! Good job, Verwandlung!

Was hoping Fileshack would put it up soon - I hate to see my Mercury (Preen preen) account go to waste! :D

Verwandlung: How does a demo being available via bit torrent make people more likely to pirate a game? Really don't see the link there.

If it runs on a Radeon 9500 it only requires PixelShader 2.0 since that's what that card supports.

Yes, this is exactly what BitTorrent was originally designed to do, it's just also the best P2P tool as well. Plus, if the full game's not out yet, varying the method of download will not automagically allow you to play all of it. Nor does using it make you a pirate. Torrentism! =P

You will find this on torrent sites, just don't expect Codemasters to link you to it.

It's a fun game - a bit system heavy, I suppose, but mine is starting to err on the side of old.

If I get a new rig I'll certainly get the game.

What's with the camera, it's so restrictive, it's driving me insane. Don't like the ultra-generic cartoon style and the cliché "we're so evil" humour, either.

The destructive environments are fun, though.

Ack! This is driving me insane! How in the seven pants of Om would they NOT include the ability to reverse the y-axis of the mouse?! Demo ruined. Game under question. But yes, luverly, I got the option to configure my bloomin' gamepad of which I have zero, nil, zip, nada. Oi, people, get real, PCs are a VERY big market - don't slag them off, you'll just get burned.

Downloaded the bugger from UK servers vie Gamershell at over 600 KB/s. About two hours ago. Just look at my previous post.

It's definitely not as evil as I was expecting. Freeing Slaves? :(

Control scheme's a bitch as well, my mouse kept cutting out for some reason.

It's fun but I don't see it holding my attention too long. I'll pick it up later in the year probably, for a lower price. Not worth triple A title price imho.
