Ever > heard of Google? http://www.quake4game.com/ just shows me a shit flash animation that doesn't go anywhere. http://www.idsoftware.com/ doesn't seem to mention any demo. Ah, wait, the top site uses a pop-up for age verification. Er, right, that's really useful. ... oh, look, more flash garbage .... jesus, now it's loading sounds .... nothing in 'downloads' ... nothing in 'press'. >> Am I really going to have use BitTorrent just to check it out? > > No, you go to the store and buy it, doofus. Perhaps the poster, like me, is nowadays somewhat wary of throwing hard-earned cash at something that may well turn out to be more hype than a Hollywood blockbuster and with just about as much substance. Given the reviews I've seen so far I'm not sure that it would be in the interests of ID to provide a demo until after people have given up and bought it anyway. My, how times have changed. Still, I've not yet seen it myself, so shouldn't pre-judge. I'll be getting a 'demo' soon enough, and if I play the demo for more than 30 minutes I'll buy it. -- /mel/ np: silence
