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.

    • BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta

      By Copernic · Posted

      BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta by Razvan Serea When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions. Clean APT for Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint Find widely-scattered junk such as Thumbs.db and .DS_Store files. Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta release notes: BleachBit 6.0.1 beta is now available for testing. This maintenance-focused release includes bug fixes, updated translations, and a range of safe enhancements. This release fixes a Windows security issue that could allow arbitrary file deletion during privileged cleaning (reported by Zeze with TeamT5). It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data. Clipboard is now cleared automatically after shredding files via paste operations. Linux Added AppImage support. Added cleaners for Visual Studio Code, Codeium, Librewolf (.deb), Transmission (Flatpak), and Profanity. Improved Linux trash detection, including Snap-installed applications and mounted drives. Fixed Wayland root CLI issues and several Snap-related problems. Improved package dependencies, AppStream metadata, and desktop file handling. Fixed startup crashes when Python Requests is unavailable. Windows Fixed a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary file deletion when cleaning with elevated privileges. Added %WindowsSystem% variable support. Improved clipboard clearing using native Windows APIs. Improved installer experience on unsupported Windows versions. Reduced installer size and improved application robustness. Fixed Unicode handling, filename anonymization, Git revision reporting, and splash screen stability.

      DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
