things are indeed a bit busy

irishgeo · 28-02-2003 11:52am

i have not played the demo yet as i am at work but i have downloaded and so tempted to test it at work but i wont.

I have it just in case i dont get a hold of the mag.

So vaggabond your years of work have paid off and its finally all out in the open. No "legal isssues" anyhting like that well apart from the release date.

Any cant wait to play it and any change of getting some more information on the media and international management i cant 10 hours till i gert home and slap it on my computer and bring liverpool back from despair virtually anyway.

Thanks vagga for everything.

no work being done here today....tis class stuff.

http://gamefiles.blueyonder.co.uk/blueyondergames/ gives good speeds.

Unfortunately it crashes while installing here in work, which I means I might have to do some work (boo!) Shall download tonight and see what it's like.

Mountjoy Mugger · 28-02-2003 4:54pm

Thanks for that, Twosheds - now downloaded and being burned.

Does anyone know the min specs for the Demo?

I doubt my PII would be up for it

Asuka · 28-02-2003 5:09pm

PII should be fine.

tHE vAGGABOND · 28-02-2003 5:52pm

recomended specs are 600MHz+ and 64 megs of ram + (really need 128 kinda thing)

We are really amazed at the almost 100% positive reaction!

s8n · 28-02-2003 5:53pm

vaggabond, slap on the back to all involved, I've played it now for 4 straight hours. It's a work of art.

zAbbo · 28-02-2003 5:55pm

only got 5 mins at it, before i had to dash to work, can any one tell me the multiplayer aspects of the game?

DapperGent · 28-02-2003 6:01pm

How big is the download?

Jesus **** I haven't been this excited about a new game since I was ****ing 14.

Come to think of it thats pretty sad.

You ****ing loser DapperGent.

tHE vAGGABOND · 28-02-2003 6:19pm

download is about 30 megs...

network aspect is not in the beta demo, but its not a million miles away from the way it was in CM3; <pimp mode>only much faster...</pimp mode>

TwoShedsJackson · 28-02-2003 6:20pm

It's 29.9 megs.

zAbbo · 01-03-2003 2:33am

but its not a million miles away from the way it was in CM3

So its ****e then eh

MrJoeSoap · 01-03-2003 10:21am

The game is absolute class, and there'll be no breezing through seasons like in the past. I was a bit sceptical over the overhead view thingy, but it is really good. A massive pat on the back to all involved and a kick up the rear end to get the actual game out on time. The demo should keep me busy til then though. Now, to actually get good at the game would be a help.

irishgeo · 01-03-2003 12:14pm

the game is awful buggy and keeps crashing on my AMD processor.

Mountjoy Mugger · 01-03-2003 2:04pm

Umm...3 friendlies! Is that it?

tHE vAGGABOND · 01-03-2003 2:57pm

dont worry lads 99% of the bugs we have been told about are known and mostly fixed...

the other 1% is the reason we released a beta demo

The K6 2 issue is a weird one, as all K6 2's are below the min spec anyway. AMD dont want to know and have been no help...

zAbbo · 01-03-2003 5:58pm

seems rather sloooooow to me, running on an amd xp1800+(1.66ghz) 512 ddr, and a gf4 ti4200

I was expecting something a tad nippier.

And more details on themulti aspect please, vagga you fiend

PiE · 01-03-2003 6:11pm

Yea it feels a bit groggy, that 1sec pause from when you click on something to when it actually shows up gets quite annoying.

But if that's sorted out for the full release, I'll be a happy bunny.

irishgeo · 01-03-2003 9:21pm

i dint seem to get any news on tranfers. Normally cm3 tells you newcastle bid for chopra but cm4 doesnt.

the first i heard of him going to newcastle was when he playing agaist me. dont wanna have to sort list the whole database

DapperGent · 01-03-2003 10:20pm

Doesn't Chopra already play for Newcastle?

I remember promoting him from the reserves a couple of versions back.

ManWithThePlan · 01-03-2003 11:01pm

I think the interface is a bit sluggish.

Like the features, but expected the game to run a bit smoother.

tHE vAGGABOND · 02-03-2003 12:12am

several interface and memory issues have been sorted since we sent the beta demo to the magazine ppl..

so chill lads

Pepe LeFrits · 02-03-2003 1:46am

Looks quite nice. I like the overhead highlights. The interface is a bit sluggish alright, especially when going to the tactics screen. And some of the player attributes get obscured when a players injury, form, appearance etc details aren't minimised.

Other than that, seems nice. When is it due for release ?

ManWithThePlan · 02-03-2003 12:10pm

Due for release 28th March methinks.

kaimera · 02-03-2003 4:48pm

any word on the Irish price?

ManWithThePlan · 02-03-2003 4:54pm

Cheapest place i've found it is amazon.co.uk
Roughly exchanges to €36. Not sure about delivery charges, but shouldn't be that much.

Amazon are usually a few days late sending out after the release so you might have to wait while all your friends have the game!
