Before you invest your time in obtaining this, you may want to consider:

- Link has to be copied and pasted into browser. Didn't work when I clicked
on it.
- Download is 170MB in size.
- Download speed is not that fast 40kB/s (at least not on the site I started
downloading it from)
- Can't comment on quality yet, as mine is still downloading

Easily fiexd but quite annoying I agree
I think I have found the problem with this one
Some times the "editor" used by google groups adds word separators
Very nice :-(
Something like this

I think its caused by copy'n'pasting from another GG page

As stated on the webpage I am linking to

Watching it full screen is much better than in a window.   The scene is
"high range rendered", and is a LOT more realistic looking than anything
we've seen in the Source engine yet.  It's lighting.  It's really good
lighting :)

Yeah, the water in the initial scene was jaw dropping.... that's
realism...

water...and so on :)  Pretty cool!

Link worked for me, Firefox.  DL is big and is a zipped .MOV.  DL speed
was 492 KBytesPS by the time it completed.   Image quality of the vid is
OK, not great.

Just watched it. Looks incredible. The graphics are just getting so close to
real life now. What will they do to improve games once the graphics just
look perfectly like real life? Better controllers? Looking forward to
finding out.

I watched it first windowed.  Yawn.  I just watched it full screen.
Wow.  So that's the kind of lighting you get with high range rendering
huh.  You know it's a rendered model scene.  It just looks realistic.
It'll make you want to stop and look at everything.  Again!
