I like how the colour palette for this game consists of 18 shades of black, grey, white and very little green :laugh: The more I look at screenshots the more I realise this games beautiful looks is all thanks to the advanced lighting system.

Still can't wait to see it with my own eyes and try out the game, all these ADHD previewers whom always seem to love everything! and the closed-knit beta testers who kiss the ground Sony walks on isn't doing it for me. ( That comment was not aimed at any Neowin members )

The game is intended to have this palette. It's supposed to be dull, drab and disturbing. It's a war zone. I've personally never heard about a war zone with tulips, butterflies and rainbows... have you?

Just a follow up on this.

Colours in your world is just flowers and butterflies? Have you ever seen pictures from a war zone? Just because guns are fired and tanks roll through the grass does not automatically turn grey, the sky does not turn black and everything does not turn into a 2-colour palette.

The grass is still green, the environment still has colours and buildings are still their original colours plus some destruction. I have no idea where this "remove all colours!!!" mentality came from, watching too much black and white footage from World War 1 & 2 perhaps?

So using "war zone" as an excuse for using a million shades of black and grey doesn't hold up in court, might be an atmosphere decision but it still looks boring, lame and even more boring. Not to mention its so much easier to hide low-res textures, funky optimizations and 'improve' on the graphics when you can hide everything.

We've seen like 1~2 levels of KZ2 guys.

And only 2~3 of the multiplayer.

1UP I believe said there's some pretty unique SP levels (think weather effects or something they said - like purple acid rain :p)

Clearly there's going to be some more big media blow outs closer to release, R2 will be getting the attention from now till release.

This is a very tired excuse. Nobody is asking for tulips and butterflies. The real world does not consist of just grey, black, and green. War doesn't automatically make things become monochrome or (dualchrome, what have you). I fail to see that you can't have rich, and varied colors in the textures in a war setting. Look at other war games; they don't look this drabby.

This is the same complaint I have of the MGS series. Why so much green!??

counter argument? By no means, you don't like the color shading in the game, then just play viva pinata or some other crap, or just boost the color palette on your display...

I don't believe I remember saying I don't like the colours or style of the game?

I just think your "counter arguement" sucked big time.

so "lulz, whatever!"

(see what I did there) ;)

We Want YOU!

Your Feedback Helps Us Make The Game!

Are you a die-hard Killzone fanatic? Have you ever destroyed a squad of Helghast with a single M194 percussion grenade? Can you take out an ISA platoon armed with nothing but an StA-52 assault rifle? Prove it! Download the new Killzone 2 Multiplayer theme and you may be selected for the next phase of the beta trial.

Phase three of the Killzone 2 multiplayer beta trial is about to commence, and Guerrilla wants to offer you, the hardcore fan base, an opportunity to participate. In order to provide a stable and balanced multiplayer experience upon the game's release, we need worthy soldiers to enter the online battlefield and report their feedback to us. And that's where you come in.

If you're an able-bodied PLAYSTATION 3 owner over the age of 18, enlist now! To become eligible for participation in the beta trial, simply go to PlayStation Store and download the new Killzone 2 Multiplayer theme between October 16 and 23. Your PSN account will be flagged and added to our list of prospective recruits. If you're selected for inclusion in the beta trial, we'll notify you via e-mail.

It's a win-win proposal! While we can't guarantee that every flagged PSN account will be entered into the beta trial, you'll still get an awesome Killzone 2 Multiplayer theme for your effort. But remember: we're looking for worthy, honorable soldiers, so you'll have to abide by the terms and conditions of the SCEE beta test agreement if you're selected. Foul play will get you dishonorably discharged from the trial.

So what are you waiting for, recruit? Get downloading!

You don't have to use it

Just download it, you dont need to use it.

The idea is that as soon as the PlayStation Store registers that you have "purchased" (it's free, dont worry) this item, then your PSN account will be flagged as someone who is interested in the Killzone 2 trial.

This allows us to better pick our Beta Trialists and target the content effectively.

The camera motion is cool, but I think it'll make me throw up after a 30m session.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.3 changelog: Fixes issues with MP4 files with more than 8 channels Fixes incorrect VBR detection for some CBR MP3 files Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
