Doh! lol Okay not quite so much of a rush to get it now then if it's that short.

But what was it actually like for those 5 minutes? :D

I like it a lot - it's quite hard, tho this difficulty setting is not for me.,... I can run and gun through it...

yet the feel is very epic

i think i need to play with sensitivity settings, its very sluggish as standard...
I thought so too, turning is very slow, yet, when aiming you need it that slow... at least I do... I personally have the X sensitivity 2 steps up and Y just 1... quicker and it feels better when turning, yet I constantly overshoot my target when turning to it...

Played through the demo twice now, first time took me a bit under eleven minutes with 1 death (friggin' turrets...), 2nd pass no deaths and 6 min 23 sec.

Oh I have definitely found my new baby, it's so much like Rainbow Six: Vegas in terms of the very slow paced gameplay, slow 'aiming' and endless possibilities for tactical games without hyper kids rushing around. Visuals are definitely some of the best I've seen on a console and I can't wait to see some more (Y) This just has potential to be an epic multiplayer game with that cover system and slow paced movement - I freakin' love it. As for negative points in the demo, bit too short and the bass being seriously messed up, the sound experience was SO flat due to having sound come through my stereo speakers :/ So they better fix that for the retail version, I'd also like to either see customizable controls or more control schemes. Is it too much to ask to be able to aim on L2 and crouch on the left analogue button?

But the messed up surround sound is definitely my main gripe - Awesome demo though, going to give it another bash - Excuse me >.>

Sethos; The cover system isn't in the multiplayer part of the game. So it will be slightly different gameplaywise, however I still think it will be relatively slow paced indeed.

Now that you mention R6V, indeed, I have to agree, it was the first game I bought for my PS3 and I played it endlessly, great great multiplayer and I loved the fact that it was slow and relatively tactical. By the way the SP of KZ2 feels I have to agree, the speed is somewhat the same and I just hope this translates into the MP as well... Kind of sad that there isn't a cover system, but crouching behind walls will do the same trick... like back in the old day - when we didn't have cover systems :p

Nah, I still like it, just disappointed :p
Guerilla actually had it in the beta at first (or so I read), but due to the level design and people being shot in the back too much and complaining they pulled it and favored crouching behind obstacles. Apparently it worked better according to the testers...

Ditto, although the biggest fail for me is literally having to use the right stick to zoom. Its horrible. I can live with "arcade" killing and using more bullets, the visuals are good enough obviously and I don't mind the sound or check point pauses. But the fricking controls, arghhhh, so annoyed honestly. Made twice as bad cause of the DS3 itself to begin with.

Demo looks awesome. Better than the last beta. :)

I want to have zoom mapped to L2 and there isn't a control scheme with that. The closest to it is L1 and then the rest of the controls are screwed up if you decide to use that.

I "settled" on Standard 2 controls. Still awful :(

L2? that is a bad button to zoom hehe

Alt 2 is perfect for me :D. I play pretty much all FPS like Alt 2, maybe crouch on the circle but no big deal.

      Crazy. The government fired everyone who was capable of actually understanding this. More security theater. Just checked it is gone from Claude.

      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 Copernic · Posted

      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.
