Great, if it's true cue mass download of game and Crytek going console only... maybe it's an 'accidental' mistake so they can ditch the PC altogether. I hope it isn't true.
I have to say, it probably isn't the greatest idea for sites like RPS to go and inform people. There's really no need for legitimate gamers to know, aside from the petty gossip angle. I hate to think of the number of people who might otherwise not have known about it and are now looking for it. Putting that tinfoil hat to good use, I see.
I agree with Ceberus, this will just give them an excuse not to develop for pc next time. (although it could still leak on the consoles)
How the hell does a whole game get leaked this early? I mean, considering the number of games released every year, how many do you hear of that get leaked over a month before release? Either something very fishy is going on, or Crytek's employees are the most incompetent morons in the industry.
Oops we accidentally spilt a game on the internet, better luck tomorrow chaps. Seriously, what the hell?
Well, Half Life 2 got out ages before release. My guess is this came from somewhere in EA, didn't Sims 3 leak, too?
The fact that SO much has been leaked is probably going to have serious implications for the online play in the legit version now, which means I'm probably just going to be giving this game a miss all together now.
This isn't good in any way I don't think. Cannot understand how it happened, but I highly doubt it's going to be anything but bad for PC gamers.
Maybe they can get all the pirates to submit bug reports... might end up with a game that didn't crash quite as much as the original.
hahah! This is just a beta test!! But really, how the hell does a game get leaked this early? surly people making games for pc's understand that this hurts their work? must of been some low level employee who is ticked about how little money he makes.
I went on to a certain site . It's only up a few hours and one of the torrents has over 2'300 lechers already. Although there is alot of comments saying not to download it as Cyrtek care about the PC community and then others saying that they don't with releasing the beta on Xbox first. I really have a feeling it was done on purpose. Maybe to build up the hype?
To be honest, I think the only people downloading this are people who would pirate it anyway. take a look at the Facepunch thread, the all seem to be against it.
I dunno, I've had a look and I can't see it. TBH, I won't be downloading or buying it until the reviews come in. Every piece of software I own is legit and I'd like to keep it that way.
