The most I've played is with 4 players and it was a blast. Are 8-player vs. 4-player recorded games (same time length) of the same size? I've only played 4-player so far (and some 2-player) though I've not recorded any of them. I recorded a solo for about 5 minutes and the demo was about 800k! I know that DOOM just records keystrokes in a certain order and then just plays them back, thereby reproducing an entire game. This makes even long demos relatively short and highly compressable (sp?). A 1 megabyte 2-player DOOM demo lasts about 1 hour. I've no idea how Descent does it.
