Killzone 2


Recommended Posts

I've had a playfire account for some time now, applied for the clan and preordered the tin at shopto so fingers crossed should have it at launch. Might even still check the local independant retailer for copies a few days before though.

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 >_<

We'll get some console fps practice this weekend with halo :p (are you in btw?)

The controller pre-sets and options are posted here for those interested.

You can change whether or not iron sights are hold down / toggle, the same goes for crouching too (in MP anyway). There's also an L1 iron sight / R1 fire scheme for those who prefer it.

Interesting presets. Although I really wish we were able to customize it.

I'll probably be sticking to alternate 2 since that's as close as what I have set for R2.

I'm sure the price of 1 cent is a mistake though :laugh:

By the way, everyone's favourite.... Hitler is back :p

(it's new footage, not the same clip that's been played 100000000 times)

What's everyones sales predictions for this?

I think

Safe: 2-3 million WW

Expected if all goes to plan: 4-6 million WW

There's a lot of money going into the advertising of it, it's getting good reviews and it's part of the arguably the most popular genre, FPS. I'm sure the :drool: graphics will draw in people as well.

Even though I can and will get by using Alternate 2, not having fully customizable controls for any Modern FPS IMO = Fail. (N)

I seriously just do not get how a developer could not let the user pick whatever they want when it is a possibility to allow them to do so.

You mean Kushan's the source for this???

But anyway, if true, damn, finally some smart advertising. That's definitely going to improve sales :yes:

However 52 seconds is an odd time for a commercial, it doesn't look THAT professional in some places and it's on the hiphopgamershow website :/

30 Days of Killzone: The comic that never was?b>

killzone_01a-660x510.jpg

What you see above is a piece of promotional art for the Killzone comic that that never saw the light of day. Set to be published by DreamWave Comics (the same company that brought out those kick ass Transformers and GI Joe comics a few years back) issue #1 wasn?t able to make it to store shelves before the company?s 2005 bankruptcy.

Would it have been any good? Hard to say, but having comic veteran John Ney Reiber on for the scripting was certainly a hell of a good start. Hit the jump for the intended cover art for issue #1;

    • In what way is any of what I said incorrect? To install an update you need to close all browser instances, upping it from once a month to once a fortnight is an inconvenience for users. Particularly when updates don't offer functionality that users want (notably copilot). Security updates should come as they are needed, not on a release schedule
    • Dopamine 3.0.6 by Razvan Serea Dopamine is an awesome free audio player which tries to make organizing and listening to music as simple and pretty as possible. Dopamine has been designed for Windows 7, Windows 8.x and Windows 10 and plays mp3, ogg vorbis, flac, wma and m4a/aac music formats quite well. The best part? It's created by long-time Neowin member, Raphaël Godart. If you’re looking for a music player to handle a large music collection, you should definitely give Dopamine a try. Dopamine 3.0.6 changelog: Fixed Manually edited album covers are overwritten on the next collection refresh Fixed AppImage package not working on modern GNU/Linux distributions Deleting song from playlist sometimes fails Playback controls only work when clicking on upper half of the buttons It's unclear that files must be tagged with an external ReplayGain scanner (for example rsgain) before normalization can take effect. Change to Artist or Album tags is not reflected in the song list view nor in the Now Playing information ReplayGain issues Smart playlist filters ignore text containing accents or other special characters Some MP3 files trigger an "MPEG header not found" error due to a too-narrow initial MPEG header scan range Changed Updated the Vietnamese translation Download: Dopamine 3.0.6 | 122.0 MB (Open Source) Links: Home Page | Forum Discussion | Screenshot | Other OSes Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • 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.
