Unreal Tournament 2004 Demo Released
JSDopefish writes "The demo for the PC game Unreal Tournament has been released, and Blue's News has a full list of mirrors [including BitTorrent links from GameTab and AIXGaming] for downloading the 209mb Win32 client. If you like classic Deathmatch, it's a great game - I still love one on one deathmatch. The site explains: 'The Unreal Tournament 2004 official demo includes five playable game modes, and offers fans their first taste of Unreal Tournament 2004's two new game modes: the introduction of the hyper-charged Onslaught mode and the return of the fan-favorite Assault mode, which last appeared in the original Unreal Tournament. The demo also features established gametypes like Deathmatch, Capture the Flag and Bombing Run'."
Another mirror at runuo.com (Plug: Check out the site while you're there! ;-) )
And who could forget the UT 2004 Linux server: http://www.filerush.com/torrents/ut2004-lnxded-dem o-3120.tar.bz2.torrent
Here is a torrent, if you need it.

Not full price if you already own UT2K3. Epic is giving a rebate to those who buy UT2004 and already own UT2K3. That means the game will actually be $20
Ask and ye shall receive: http://www.macgamefiles.com/detail.php?item=18034. Enjoy. Quit your bitching about no OS X and just look around a bit. There are other mirrors, this is just the first I found.
today is spelling optional day.
No, the mac post is out too. Not sure about Linux. See my other post for the link if you are too lazy to look for yourself.

Yup, it's out for the Mac as well. Macgamefiles.com has a couple of mirrors for it...painfully slow mirrors, but mirrors none the less.
Though from what I've seen of the stability, they might as well call it a Gamma demo :P
PlanetUnreal has a message from icculus saying that the linux version will be out soon, but 'not tonight' because he's short on sleep and can't concentrate.

They are going to support Linux, in fact, according to some sources, they are actually going to put a penquin on the box this time, unlike UT2K3, which they forgot to mention had a linux port. (The Linux binaries are included and installed with a shell script on the 3rd CD)
According to LinuxGames.
I'd hereby like to thank Ryan 'icculus' Gordon for his hard work on the Linux and Macintosh clients. (linux one is forthcoming tomorrow, Ryan needs to sleep before he can coherently fix a bug that's still in the linux client)

Post #31 in Link: "Icculus (Ryan Gordon, the guy doing the ports) said Linux and OSX demos should become available within a few hours of the Win32 release."

The site linked in the article (bluesnews) dosen't list all the mirrors, here is the real mirror list from Atari's web site...
AFAIK, UT2004 still uses Vorbis for music. Speex is only for low bit-rate (4.8 kbps narrowband, 9.6 kbps wideband) voice communication.

If you already have the file, please join the swarm anyway, the more seeders we have, the better this will work. To join as a seed, just download the .torrent file and open it in your client of choice as normal, but point the location to save the demo, to the location of your already downloaded demo.
Will people please leave their torrent windows open once they've downloaded the demo. Suggested clients: Official BitTorrent client Azureus Java client
In November/December-ish, we stopped selling 1.8GHz P4s and offered the 2.0 as our bottom of the line P4. We still carried some boards with CPUs already attached, including a 1.(2 or 3)GHz Cyrix, a Celeron, and an AMD2000 Pro. So the assertion that computers bought last year have beefy processors is correct.
The second thing, though, is that for every tricked out gaming rig we sold, we must have sold 15-20 computers so Mom & Dad could check email or the college freshman could surf the internet and write papers. That's the bread and butter of a small custom PC business, not the high end gaming rigs. There's more profit in those, of course, but they sell such in such relatively low numbers that one can hardly say that it drives the business.
As far as new products are concerned, there are a couple areas that are clearly pushed by gamers. To the computer industry as a whole, I think they represent a pretty nominal demographic.
