Yay! Finally, those of us who haven't been lucky enough to go to the banquet of games at E3 get thrown some scraps from Ubisoft's dinnerplate.



Go check out the <a href="/http://www.mightandmagic.com/uk/darkmes ... er/">Might & Magic teaser site</a> for an E3 demo and trailer, a dialup-slaying 400Mb video with developer commentary on <a href="/http://www.fileshack.com/file.x?fid=8799">Fileshack</a> and an entertaining DMoM&M comic strip by Penny Arcade on the <a href="/http://e3.ubi.com/">Ubisoft E3 website</a>. Enough to whet your appetite?

I loved when he struck the cyc in the eye and the blood just poured. Damn. I know the MM-lineup would get a boost when a "real" publisher picked it up. It's not strange that 3DO went out of the biz... the commets on this game around the net is mostly great.

400 MB Video - 7 Minutes O_o

That's just crazy... That's almost four hours of downloading...

Took about 2 mins here...

Try this, for some, it should be alot faster. Here at the work, I get ~3-4MB/s

Reminds me of Halflife 2 so much in that you can use the environment against the enemy. In Halflife 2 it was IMO too much since that gravity gun together with those razorblades took care of everything. DIdn't had to use normal weapons at all hardly.



But I'll get this for sure! Looks way cool.

If your connection can handle a 400 MB download, you need to see this. Even if you have only a moderate interest in action games. I'm particularly excited about the fact that the monsters will be able to use the environment as well (although they didn't show that in the demo). A very well done movie.
I'm on Steam and Xbox Live.

This is totally awesome! Makes waiting for my favorite game that much more harder! I didn't have a problem downloading from the teaser site. I personally think DM will be the most ultimate game ever put out but of course when it comes to the M&M series (I own them all), I am prejudice! I love this game even more-so than HOMM and I am really looking forward to it.

32 KB/s is the maximum Internet speed i can get.

Today my internet can hardly reach 10 KB/s for an unknown reason :(

Anyone got a ~1024kbps@320x200 Xvid Video? just keep it below 20MB... Please... anyone?

(It's not nessasary, but it would be very nice)

That 400 MB download actually is the same video that is on the official website, only bigger size and much better quality. The movie is great since it shows lots of elements that willl be in the game. Especially I like that "Gravity Gun" will be also in DMoMM! :D
