Cool Quake 4 leaks, dumbfuck idSoft response

By at 5:20 am Monday, Jul 21

This enormous gallery of leaked concept art and test-renders from the forthcoming Quake 4 game is astonishingly cool. As cool as the company's reaction to the leak has been uncool:
"On Friday 18th July a large number of unauthorised Quake IV assets were leaked onto the web," offered the statement. "We do not know the source of these leaked assets. Please be warned that id Software has instructed Activision that we are not to work with any magazine which uses any of these assets. If any magazine does so, id Software will not allow any assets for id games to be sent to these magazines in the future."
Update: the page is down. I have a 4MB tarball of the images. Got a Bittorrent tracker? Email me. Link Discuss
