IMPORTANT N2003 DEMO INFORMATION!

The N2003 demo that is going around is a leaked media beta demo. There are
known issues, bugs, and missing
features in the media demo. It seems lots of people think it's the release
demo. Just a heads up that it is NOT! The real thing is being worked on as
we speak.

I gather you mean to say this was, gasp, *leaked*...  Gracious!

Pretty obvious, actually, comparing the state of readiness to previous Papy
releases (and the readme that says it's an 80%-finished beta demo).  But
it's fun to mess with in the meantime, and I'll certainly reserve final
judgment till the real one pops up.  As if I weren't going to buy it
anyway... ;-)

I'd say they've since finished working on it.  :-)

One nice thing about egotists: they don't talk about other people.

Actually the demo is still in the process of being completed, and if all
goes as planned it will be finished this week.  It will still need to go
through Sierra QA and certification before it can be released however.
I'm not sure just how long that process will take, but I'm pretty
confidant the official demo will be available before the game hits
stores in early Feb.

To which I guess the Avault one also is, no?

They just didn't want to miss the train and just listed it to their servers.
Talk about non-professionalism by them (not Papy, Avault).

Everyone knows that this demo was leaked.  Papyrus, however, has sanctioned
its leakage, even going so far as to post links on Sierra's board.

So what you're telling us is nothing new.  Maybe you thought the information
was new, the way you yelled it into everyone's ear.

Try entering a little more quietly next time, and then maybe your oversight
wouldn't be so noticeable.

Deja vu all over again, I think. Can't work Google smartly enough to find
out, but I think there was an almost identical post about 12 months ago.

Realizing the futility of trying to un-ring the bell is a far cry from
sanctioning the release.

Hehehe... oh please, apart from the perennial misers/grouches and Nascar
haters the basic reaction from the community is that you guys have come up
trumps again. This "leak" will hurt you guys a lot as far as pre-orders are
concerned, I'm sure. <g>

If this is a beta demo, I'll bet there are a lot of people who eagerly await
the real demo.  We've all seen demos before, and some of them are very, very
bad.  But here we have a beta demo which is actually very, very good.

I'm not sure who the original poster of this so-called warning is, but my
guess is that he's just a regular guy, with no affiliation at all to
Papyrus.

He's a guy who apparently wants to be heard, who thinks he has some new
information or knows the scoop, his importance to himself possibly resting
on these very things.

That's my take, psychologically speaking.  :)

I love it when someone that has no clue about what they are talking about
posts something like this.

As David G will tell you I was going to pre-order it anyway, but aside
from a few niggles that I'm willing to let slide since ift's a WIP I'm
thinking that this will be a very good purchase.  It is very obvious
from the moment you jump on the track that significant time was spent
on this release, and it's still an early build.  I'm also very e***d
by the damage model, which seems more geared towards punishment than
playability.
