Recommended Posts

Fairly awesome? I believe they hang you for such statements in some countries.

It's SUPERDUPERWTFBBQAwesome, Mmmkay?

Well I don't get too hyped before games these days,

Corris, by the way, check out the level I posted here in the LBP thread - https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...amp;p=590493704

Tell me what kind of bicky you see at the beginning :shifty:

I feel a Hobnob moment coming up....

....I was right!, lol.

People need to

I don't live in America

That never stopped you before! make me proud! :p

Tsk, bots are for newbs :p

Aka me.

I swear I'll be playing with the bots first before I get my ass handed to me online. Or at least doing a couple of rounds with the bots on hard in-between online sessions :p

Gotta invite the bots Wanke and Assink to the clan :laugh:

LOL at the French saying PS3 in that video, "PS...######"

edit: Direct feed link of bot action [no crazy french dudes] - http://www.jeuxvideo.com/extraits-videos-j...ec-des-bots.htm [good watch, the bots look genuinely quite intelligent, and OMG sound effects are gonna be amazing in 5.1 :p]

Sounds like you need a Kol. :p

What do you mean? :p I thought KoL was good at FPS games online?

By the way, this video is awesome - http://www.gamersyde.com/stream_9911_en.html [Get it watched!]

Exactly, when we played R2 on-line I would spend most of my time hiding behind him, lol.

KoL/Sethos/DL/Munky/ect will all be in front of me online if our planned clan wants to win anything :rofl:

I joke, I'm not THAT bad, I swear *wink*

Lol, *Insert innuendo about doing it from behind* :p

And to point out, I'm not saying I was crap at R2, I got the high score most of the time we played, but I was a medic, and as such wouldn't stand much of a chance on my own, not that ever stopped me from running into a horde of enemies and coming out the victor. :D

Can't wait for this game to come out, is there a 4 player co-op? or just single player?

No Co-Op.

SP campaign, and MP online and offline with bots.

Closest you'll get to Co-Op for now is creating a private match with a friend(s) and adding bots then playing together. Rumbles about Guerilla adding Co-Op with a patch, but they've been denied... still some hope.

Those bots look pretty decent. I always liked being able to blast some bots in UT when I was bored or just wanted some target practice (or playing with mates against them on a LAN).

Multiplayer looks like it has win written all over it. Looking forward to having a blast with fellow Neowinians (Y)

This level looks awesome btw.

Oh yes, it's WTFHAX they manage to get that visual fidelity into the MP component.

By the way

Indeed. It's really interesting to see how they pushed the Cell's SPUs to do all the post processing. In that 40 minute interview you can see an overlay of numbers and a diagram in the middle showing how the SPU's are spending their time chewing through different tasks. Very impressive stuff. :)

Sadly, I'll prolly be lagging behind AB....

IGN US gave it a 9.4 as well....

Is it possible for the hype of a game to completely fuel both its designers and its fans eagerly awaiting its release? In the case of Guerrilla Games' upcoming Killzone 2, the answer is an emphatic yes; the developers knew that they wanted to meet or surpass the action of the now infamous E3 trailer and have been trying to perfect their anticipated shooter. As far as fans were concerned, they were hoping that Killzone 2 would be the system seller and showcase for the PlayStation 3 -- a game that could conceivably rival that of Halo and Gears of War. Fortunately, the wait is almost over, because Killzone 2 will be released at the end of next month. That might seem a bit far away, but believe me when I say that the wait has been well worth it. Killzone 2 is an outstanding evolution of the franchise, a bullet and adrenaline-fueled rampage against an implacable enemy and a fantastic shooter for the PS3.

....

Killzone 2 is only a short month away from hitting shelves, but the game will definitely be worth the wait. The single-player experience is a truly enjoyable campaign across the Helghast home world that will test your skills, particularly on the higher difficulty levels, and the game simply looks phenomenal for a console shooter. But perhaps the strongest segment of the game is the extremely deep multiplayer, which gives seven basic classes with which you can create your own customized super-soldier after performing your class-specific duties. Not only did Guerrilla achieve a milestone of delivering a great exclusive title for Sony's PS3, it delivered one of the better shooters to come along in a long time. Get your hands on this game.

Hmm... I don't seem to be an household name here - no one mentioned me in the "I need to hide behind..." phrase... ok, ok, if I only lurk I don't get noticed - I get that. But at least a lurk a LOT :o!

Nah, I dunno, I have never finished lower than top 3 in every COD4 game I have played (I was pretty much only playing tactical games and TDM - I SUCK at DM - glad it's not in KZ2 afaik, or at least the focus is elsewhere). I believe I'm going to do fairly well in KZ2 as well :) but time will tell :p

In the mean time, I need to finish Valkyria Chronicles before KZ2 hits >_<

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.
