[clarky003]

the latest and only article in the Christmas 2003 PC gamer (UK). Is the US version the one with new material (pictures),, ?? why do they put the images in one mag and not the other,..? cause in the other thread (PC zone material) somone posted the latest PCG , with pics ive never seen.. so why arnt us UK subscribers getting it aswell???

(sorry about the bit of glare on the digi photo. dont have a scanner )



Edited by Fenric: Sorry but as pointed out here http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=15752 by Abom. We can't allow attachments like that. Sorry


For anyone interested, it basically talks about some of what happened and they gave the April 2004 date as a possible release and that you can find out more info on www.steampowered.com

I know! thats my point . this is the latest UK PC gamer.!! its a great mag but im feeling left out when I hear about new screenshots in other mags, and more importantly in different PC gamers in other parts of the world.

poo. im not allowed to post the pic anymore cause of 'reasons', but anyone with the christmas PC gamer (UK), will probably know what im going on about

(off subject, why exactley cant i post text from a magazine,, ? im sure there are more than just one reason, but still id like to know for future reference)

did you notice, in the cleaned up pics from the other mag that Abom sorted out? More importantly the shadows.. they looked completely different to what we'd seen in the E3 stuff. The whole thing seemed a lot more polished, Valve certainly haven't been sitting on their butts, I can't wait to see how it looks in April, bet its quite different to what we think we're getting. Which is great!

It's to do with copyright reasons. hl2.net could get in a lot of trouble for keeping them up. Images from the game taken from the mags are fine if its just the images. Just scans of the text, pages and so on. Too risky

If you or anyone else are ever in doubt feel free to PM a link to a scan to one of the mods and we'll let you know if its ok to go up. By the looks of it though images on their own are totally fine (unless their from the stolen files but thats a whole other can of worms I don't want to open lol)

Generally, images are copyright of the publisher, or whomever they mention has copyright below the picture. So NO pictures can be scanned and posted here legally.

Text can be *quoted*, this is general practice. Quoting means sentences and/or paragraphs, not full articles or large portions of articles.

Well I live in the U.S. and got our version, big ol picture of Gordon on the front. Open it up and in total there was 1 picture of the G-Man that everyone's already seen and 1 new concept art squeezed at the top half of the page to leave space for the breaking news "Half-Life 2 Source code leaked".

If your U.K. version had more than that then you're better off. Deceitful covers made people think some new screens or info would be found inside, but there was none.

Too bad when we originally saw that scan, EvilEwok2.0 deconstructed it and pretty much spit on it pointing out all its faults.. oh well, then I did the same to some of the official Doom 3 shots and all was well

Can't you just cut out the pictures of the images? Do it in Photoshop or something if you have it, or paint =)

Im slightly annoyed at the censorship of scans. If they would HAPPEN to end up in my PM box , Id be appreciative winkwinkwink.

PC Gamer UK is far better than PCG US, the quality of writing is just so far out of the US' league kinda extraordinary. http://forum.pcgamer.co.uk
