THIS IS NOT REAL. I REPEAT. THIS IS NOT REAL. At best, it's a bunch of new screenshots from E3. At worst, it's a bootlegged copy of the E3 demo and that magazine will DIE for posting it.

Well, looks like APOC527 is laying the smack down on the thread in the Delphi form.
Funny, no where in the form rules do I see "Do not post things that may scare OSI"
Anyhow, the "demo" is already in the hands of thousands of Australians. (from the looks of things anyhow) Trying to "cover" it up now just seems impossible.

Good god.. now they are removing the links to the pics on the Delphi form.
Can you repost them here? I should have them still in my history..

It's possible this is a demo. But I somehow don't trust it when the website for the magazine behind this makes no mention of said demo...and the only evidence they have is a webpage at a private URL. |
That actually isnt there website. Thats, mine, i just uploaded the autorun from the cd.
There actual website is http://www.pcpowerplay.com.au/
I'm a subscriber, so i got my copy early. They do also have a 6 page preview to go with the demo.............
{edit: the thread i posted is now deleted..... too bad thousands of people like Zanteogo said would already have a copy of the mag.}

No 'grand conspiracy', as Zantego seems to believe
I don't mean to apply that I feel there is some kind of "conspiracy".
No, there is no "legit" demo. Anything shipped out on the CD is out of both PC Games and OSI's hands now however. Editing the message leading to these pics seems kind of pointless. (though IS enfocring the form rules, however pointless now)
APOC527 posting how the mags going to "die" does seem somewhat.. umm.. unprofessional.

Ok, assuming that the "demo" is not legal, wich it is almost certainly not..
It means PC Power Play (Next Online?) has published private corporate data. This was not legal. Shame on them. OSI can send a world of hurt at them. Have fun.
Now, is it unethical? Really, who was hurt because they did this? The "demo", if there even is one will be next to unplayable. So the public gets to see a few screens QSI did not want them to see yet.. big deal. If anything they helped QSI cut past some red tape for releasing (badly needed) screens.
The only real people hurt here will be PC Power Play, which did it to them selves.

*as further information has been revealed.......... the stuff i posted here has become irrelevant*
{that isnt the site for the demo, thats just the autorun .html file of the cd to prove MOO3 on there. The demo itself is 274mb, as i'm 56k i'm not going to upload it.}

Well, i've posted it on the MOO3 official forums. Wonder if the response will be more positive. 
Well, it turns out my post has been deleted. Again.

Well, Ibbz, you've certainly ensured that today will qualify as interesting.
I signed up for an account here (which may be interesting in its own right).
Your post is almost certainly going to land you in hot water with QSI, whether the material you have is legit or not, and whether it was legally obtained or not.
Look at the screenshots all you want, people -- it's fairly obvious that they're from the E3 build, and therefore bear little to no resemblance to what the final game will look like. For example, Rantz said yesterday that the "side bars" on the main user interface will probably be gone, with only the bottom control bank being needed with the streamlining of the interface.
Furthermore, I strongly urge everyone to exercise extreme caution if you elect to download the executable linked at the site. Not for legal reasons, but technical ones -- this could easily be a shiny new trojan horse, root-kit, or some other form of viral "special delivery".
Remember what your parents told you -- if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. QSI has stated repeatedly that they were not going to do a demo. That makes this material unofficial at best, and illegal at worst, to be in non-QSI hands. I strongly suspect the latter.

GUH!!!!!!!!!!!!
I said the thing i put up on the site was only the html file. the actual EXE isnt THERE {there is no exe there for that matter}. If you QSI wanna *****, they can take it to Pc Powerplay, because soon thousands of other people will have the demo.
I'm takin it all down. The response's i have got are very negative which leads me to believe QS dont want them there. If i see things change, i'll put em back up.
