PCG UK clear it all up, as they take a trip to valve

[clarky003]

im quite releaved to see that the PCG may issue has a massive 8 page talk over what the PCG team found out at valve, they state they have played the game for testing at present, and 'it is everything that we'd hope for!'.

ive taken shots of the 'text' from the first 2 pages, im sorry about the glare , but you'll get the idea when you read around it, (shitty digi cam but its not that bad )... Its excellent news, and the reaction to what gabe said about 2005 is totally an over reaction, as PCG have said valve plan to release it soon, .. meaning a month or two . theres some new intresting information, about what valve is doing to spice there game up... like attempting to make the strider a Driveable,, Yes 'Driveable' vehicle!

gj posting copyrighted material This thread'll last.. oh.. 3 seconds

 

[clarky003]

what I thought it was just the pictures... that werent allowed...? so confused,, anyway Pick up a copy of May PC gamer UK,, and all will be revealed.

I'm sorry Clarky but posting that kind of stuff can get us easily sued for hosting it. It's all copyrighted material at the end of the day.

 

[Vegeta897]

Ok? Does this qualify as "news"?

 

[Munro]

Thanks but we don't allow scans on the site

like attempting to make the strider a Driveable,, Yes 'Driveable' vehicle!

Aye. That and many other things were grabbed from our articles section they never got it from Valve, cheeky bastards. There's nothing new on it just recycled old stuff from sites and other magazines

 

[clarky003]

thats kool, get rid of it post haste ,, sorry i just got exited

 

[clarky003]

is it alright if I sit down and type it all up for you to read, and just change a few pointless words,,?

 

[Munro]

No, that would still be a problem Although you could copy the stuff they copied from us

 

[clarky003]

hmm, so theres nothing I can do whatsoever really apart from tell you in my own words...?

 

[Shuzer]

Couldn't he rephrase all of what they said?

 

[clarky003]

I believe them when they said that they had been to valve to test the game out. As for the Strider.. im sure they where told themselves, .. by gabe or the programmers?

but they said they where playing around with the idea,, who knows whether they'll implement it.

Everyone could buy the magazine

Cheap asses

Im pretty sure its legal if you write it in the form of an essay (basically you just rewrite everything in your own words) as long as you cite where you got all the info from. After all otherwise magazine articles would have to be considered as some higher form of information than encyclopedias or other such works.

But ya its still better if you just buy the magazine. Although its still good for people like me who are have already bought it and are just waiting for it to arrive in the mail.

 

[clarky003]

sounds fair to me,, hows about it then Mullinator.. guys?

 

[WhiteBoy]

Which stores would I be able to find the PC Gamer at?

 

[Munro]

No point really there's nothing new. It's not worth buying at all.

 

[The Mullinator]

Keep in mind I am no legal expert, so don't go by my word alone. Plus you should see what Munro says first.

EDIT: And by the sounds of it there isn't much of a point anyway.

 

[Chris D]

Re-writing the article in in your own words would technically make it your own work.

Everyone want some third-hand information? Go ahead and re-write it.

 

[clarky003]

so its perfectley fine that way.., im just going to cut to chase...

if you guys honestly dont think theres much point, I wont

I just fancy putting the worriers at rest for a while :thumbs:

so all these silly threads stop being made

'hate valve this, valve 2005 that' blah blah

 

[Duracell]

I would like a looksie at them

Clarky, I sent you a PM about it, if you would be so kind to read it

 

[Lobster]

i wouldnt mind readin it obviously im more interested in part 2 lol

 

[Axyon]

This has been discussed for the past few weeks now, I don't really see the need for a new thread about this. The 6 page article basically offers nothing new at all, so writing it up would be pointless anyway...

 

[clarky003]

ok Abom , I was honestly unaware, Its just it seems to have come straight from valve, officially in PCG's eyes, but sure ,, close the thread

 

[Triggerhappy41]

Everyone could buy the magazine

Cheap asses

LoL! Beautiful!

 

[clarky003]

well im going for sleeps, I guess if you want to leave this thread open for talks on the article, that wouldnt be a bad idea, because im sure everyone will have the magazine soon after this..
