davemania Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 it hasn't been established as true either, because it isn't. like I said the US journalists will jump over it first. this is just a wild guess by a magazine (and hopefully a good guess cause I want it to come ASAP) this has nothing to do with journalist. This is probably because of miscommunication (or intended action) between the ad companies and valve. Publishers contract different advertising firms in different countries and if anyone gets a head up about the release date, the ad firms are probably the first few to know.

RGSPro Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I bet they had just seen the fake gabe post about going gold and it printed before we all found out it was a hoax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanky Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Theories abound that PC Powerplay readers get a free copy of HL1 next issue (which would be sweet). That would be awesome!, I dont actually own the original. Goooooo Pc Powerplay!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dio Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Bah-Lam-Bo. Come on, with the HL2 preloading then the game is no doubt going to be released sometime in September. That's almost guaranteed. So no worries, mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varsity Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 I believe the editors of that magazine took a guess when they went to press.Rest assured, either Gabe or I (or both) will be sending up flares when HL2 is done. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted September 2, 2004 Veteran Share Posted September 2, 2004 in the picture of the magazineupper right corner I thought it was already said somewhere else that that September 22nd date was just the release date of the magazine itself and not the game? No official word yet from Valve, plan and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcdShdw Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 why would somone go to buy a mag on a certian day and inside the mag would tell u when u can start to buy it , makes no sense at all, the release date wouldnt be anywhere on a magazine, especially if u just bought it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyLarry Veteran Posted September 2, 2004 Veteran Share Posted September 2, 2004 notice it says "PC PowerPlay On Sale Sept 22" @ Solarix. Because it is an Ad for the Next months issue, not the current one. I should have been more clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
