The point is (if this mag says the truth) that Valve didn't want the testers to go here or there. Once the tester did, the game crased.
That gives me to think about. Nothing more.
Why do you know its Gamestar ?? An UK guy ?
Your post is absolutly false. Gamestar never reviewed the leak. They just reported that Valve had been hacked.
Man, they told us 2003 already they will finish soon.
I would love it to see it this summer.
I just wanted to outline the fact that noone saw a finsihed version.
We saw the vid on E3. And the reporter wrote about what they play. 3 Level (out of....13?) while they had to strictly following...
Hmmm...
new vids (on 2 diff. stands), pushing ATI again (40% faster with R420), Codename Gordon,inviting game-mag-reporter worldwide while all mags had to make a cover-story of it. Otherwise it would have been forbidden to report about.
Sounds to me like hyping...
I mean from now 'til Sept. Valve says its done and people play the game, they watch this and customizing.
But I would say a crash to desktop during playing needs a very bit more then this...
Right, right. Valve said so a couple weeks before that date. So everone believed them. Bought ATI-bundled new graphic-cards and so on...
Its also not finished until now. A quarter year for customizing ?
I realy hope HL2 comes out this summer but I read interesting stuff in a mag.
All the magazins who reported about it as a cover-story were quite much controlled from Valve while they visited them.
They got only that pieces of information which was 'optimized' for them.
That special mag...
