Killzone 2


Recommended Posts

Okay, has there actually been a confirmed release date for Europe? I keep seeing 27th February but not sure if that is confirmed?

It's the 25th for Europe, but will be the 27th for the UK due to the day games are released.

Killzone 2 gone gold

We have just received confirmation that Killzone 2 has gone gold for America, UK and Europe.

This means that Killzone 2 can finally hit the presses. With the European mainland release scheduled for February 25, we along with alot of gamers are hoping that it will hit the shelves in time for the official release date.

I'd be up for a clan I suppose, though if you guys were thinking of taking the clan multiplatform when you started it you should have pobably put a bit more thought into a name that is probably going to be far more popular on one platform. :p

If Kol and L3thalsab3r read this, you both have to get killzone 2 for more fun times. :D

It was never planned but we were open to the idea one day. With Killzone 2's clan features though it just makes sense to bring the clan to the PS3.

Insomniacs was chosen because it describes us as gamers, I mean, you and I are still on Neowin at 5pm. Its a perfect fit :p

Clearly deprived of sleep as it's AM :p

Will be up for joining the clan as soon as this game is out. Should be interesting to see how the who system works within the game. But nice to see the web stats as well to make things a bit easy.

I think it was KICK asking about "bonuses" earlier?

Well play have a pre-order theme - http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStation3/4-/...-2/Product.html - ?32.99>

1021986l.jpg

Thanks but already pre-ordered cheaper elsewhere(Y))

Theme looks good but not worth me spending the extra just to get it.

I get paid on the 27th. Coincidence? I think not :)

Where exactly is it cheaper than ?32.99?

On Shop-To you can get it for ?31.99

http://www.shopto.net/page.php?page=dettag...mp;platform=PS3

Voucher ?1 off: shoptovoucher2

And with quidco another 4% off - http://www.quidco.com/shopto/

(although play has quidco as well - http://www.quidco.com/play-com/)

With them in comparison to play at least you're guaranteed fast delivery, most likely get it early.

Dang, so we need to rank up before we can create a clan :/ At least it's only 100 points, I'll get that in my first match hopefully :laugh:

edit: please don't tell me you have to rank all the way to General before you can even play as Scout? :unsure:

I have no idea where that list came from, it was just fan posted so I can't state it's credibility.

But I can confirm you DO need to unlock class badges - The 41 min interview confirmed that. People were playing as the scout in the MP beta, which didn't last that long I don't think? (couple of weeks)

Rumours go unlocking all the classes and leveling up doesn't take that long, it's all the medals and ribbons which are essentially "achievements" that take a much longer time to get.

Oh what, not happy about that :( Just gonna have to play this like **** and get it as quick as I can.

Try and attract the attention of the beta testers around here for answers :p

We had quite a few on NW I think.

beta testers say that they can unlock the scout badge in a week.. not too long i think

    • 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.
