^ what about KZ2 :/ or even RFOM2?

Killzone 2 has classes, even a healing class - That's a killer for me.

Resistance 1 was the most boring and bland game I played in a long time, so I won't hold my breath for Resistance 2.

EDIT: Removed for the sake of peace :sleep:

Each to there own I suppose.

My situatioin is that there are enough games coming to the PS3 that I am interested in to make me keep my PS3 (also the fact that it is a BluRay Player too). Also I use it as a Media Centre to stream my music & movies from my Mac & Wireless 1TB HD.

Inregards to Socom, I am still hoping they sort out the problems in time for release as I was enjoying the "Demo" especially when online with friends.

Update is out now :D 226MB of SOCOM fixing goodness :D they say it fixes the loading but there main problem now is...

Some late joiners have really bad framerate (5fps) and crash if they exit the game from the start menu. This happens at approximately 1/50 frequency.

but they know about it and are fixing it :D

Awesome, thanks.

And I have gotten that bug, really annoying, everything stutters like its going out of fashion, and quitting the game froze my PS3.

But as long as there fixing it.

Maybe with this new patch we could get another Neowin game going at some point, I can't wait to be team killed by Scazza again one day. :p

So has anyone here played it? If so does it help at all?

I have, and for the short time I did it certainly seemed to be running better. Joining games is far quicker. I've noticed a bit of lag, but nothing out of the ordinary.

There is a bug (as mentioned a few posts above) that I've experienced but they are fixing that.

Tried the demo again with the latest update. The menu has improved a lot, loading screen was still a bit long but not the worst out there. The gameplay though, ****, they keep making it worse every time. The amount of lag spikes and freezing was awful :no:

The score boards are broken too, wtf is up with that? The speed (lack of that is) of the update as well was terrible. I could go on..

Definitely not purchasing the game after what I seen/played tonight. They've had plenty of time to fix this so it's not excusable imo.

Yeah, I played with that random guy above me and game still seems very sluggish. They did fix the Red X issues where you constantly lost control for a few seconds. They also optimized the menu a fair bit which is certainly welcome, although they still have the characters standing in the background and they still take a second or two to load, get rid of them!

Very first server we joined had some serious issues - I saw a guy and placed a few shots in his head with no effect, I emptied almost 3 entire clips into him and still nothing. He saw me and started to empty a few clips into me and still no effect. Tried shooting a few RPG's at his feet and then I heard Andy was lagging, so we found another server.

Second server Andy joined, no problem. My PS3 froze with a black screen but second time worked fine. So we played for an hour or so though constant "Lag spikes" where the character freezes for a split-second happens frequently, then you end up looking somewhere random.

Oh and not to mention the Playstation 3 fans are at full blast constantly, sounds like a helicopter taking off in your room.

Damn this Multiplayer demo(!) has its flaws. Even after what, 3 patches and it's still not up to scratch.

We are using these extra few days to test the patch but we are still on schedule to release in North America on October 14th. We appreciate all of your feedback and hope you have been enjoying the Public Beta.

I'm still undecided. I've got a lot of friends that will be buying, but based on the beta I'm not very enthusiastic. Plus the fact that it releases in 10 days doesn't bode well for those that were hoping the final build would be more stable. I'll try it out with the 1.5 patch, but the last few patches didn't do much for the gameplay.

    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      Windoze 11 could finally go to hell, instead of making me savor yet another error I've never had. "Bad Pool Caller" or whatever TF cryptic crap0la message it is. Adding salt to injury, it says something along these lines (on the blank black screen after it hard stops): "Your windoze needs to restart. You can restart." NO WAY SHERLOCK. The PEECEE, look, it's *blocked*, I can do jack sh1t with it as it is and you say that it needs to restart? Further, that I can restart? What am I supposed to do, take a herbal bath? Sudo a sandwich? Timewaster pile of useless slop and errors, coded by monkeys and force-fed on us by a pedo-founded corporation, that's all there is to it. Now, let's have a fun weekend trying to handle the error, which after a quick internet check can basically be due to EVERYTHING, from memory faults to drivers to motherboard issues. Thanks M$.

      Zen Browser 1.21.3b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders.

Zen Browser 1.21.3b changelog: New Features Updated to Firefox 152.0.1 Fixes Fixed transparency not working after updating to 1.21.2b (#14259) Fixed frequent crashes affecting users with Intel Raptor Lake processors Fixed an issue on macOS where choosing a PDF option, such as "Save as PDF", from the system print dialog would send the job to your printer instead of saving a file.
