I received the January issue of GameDeveloper magazine yesterday, and on page 5 is a half page blurb on the Pandora. It gives a brief overview of how it originated, what it's about, and gives a run down of the specs.

It's good to see Pandora coverage in the mainstream game development press!

Do you have a scanner?

atomicthumbs: just pester somebody you know with a subscription, they get sent a pdf version

[Soulkiller]

I know no-one

upload of the pdf?

[Gruso]

Perhaps wait until the next issue is out before sharing a scan/pdf (as Duddyroar did when his feature was in GamesTM). I want to see it now too, but fair is fair.

It's a pretty neat write-up.

And it's got a nice eye-catching image of Pandora right on it.

ooh, you can buy the current issue in digital format!

[edit] Removed PDF reference, I don't think that's the format. Anyway, just purchased. $4US, not bad.

[edit2] It is a nice little writeup. Brief, not much more than a sidebar, but gives a good rundown of the history, the specs, and the capabilities that have already been demo'd. I do think a press release needs to be done when the first batch ships, if only to get some newer renders out there.

seriously, screw new renders... people would love actual pics, and at launch they'll probably have one

Regarding the Blog. You shouldn't put a scan of the article there, unless you asked the publishers for permission. A scan was posted in this thread, luckily I saw it before it was deleted
The article is just a pretty boring summary if you ask me.

I seriously just slapped myself for not thinking of that.

True enough. I wrote that there mainly in the hope that someone would post the scan here, I wouldn't post it on the blog itself. However, since it's been posted and deleted here, I'll edit out that sentence.

It is just a half page summary. Nothing really special.

Thanks for the pic.

Wow, not only is that a really old render, it's Fluffy's (unofficial) really old render. We have a high rez version of the new render on the official site just for magazines and such. I wonder why they didn't use that?
