Well, with no sign of the game heading off to duplication yet, there is an intriguing bit from Anandtech.com on September 12:
"All of this discussion isn't for naught, as it brings us to why today is so very important. Not too long ago, we were able to benchmark Doom3 and show you a preview of its performance; but with the game being delayed until next year, we have to turn to yet another title to finally take advantage of this hardware - Half-Life 2. With the game almost done and a benchmarkable demo due out on September 30th, it isn't a surprise that we were given the opportunity to benchmark the demos shown off by Valve at E3 this year."
So, no game on the 30th is likely, but will we get a demo? This makes it sound like the demo itself isn't just a benchmarking tool, just that it can be used as one...might it be a playable demo? Inquiring bandwidth hogs want to know....
