Welcome to Neowin 5

Might I ask what design restraints are preventing the front page being a tad more fluid in it's resizing?

+1

A simple enough script has already shown it can go wider without breaking, so I'm interested to know why such a slim design in a computing realm where so many people use widescreen monitors?

stop complaining about the ads, because without the ads, neowin wouldn't be here, so just accept it!

I am complaining about the completely ridiculous placement of t

he ad not the fact that neowin has ads. I have always been fine with he ads.

as you see an ad smack in the middle of something is quite annoying.

It just bites that the fact i'm paying for a sub means I still get ads. Heck, in the forums all the requirement is that you register not to see the ads. Front page, you pay, and you still get 'em? ehhhhh. :/

Nice work on that click to refresh, but I need a new mouse already and i'd like the auto refresh back. It's just invaluable, sorry guys.

Gotta pay the bills some how right?

There is a lot of space taken up from the ads, I will agree with that, and I am sure they could change the layout around to incorporate a better flow, but how long do you spend on the front page? Most of the time is really spent on the forums, which has very small ads (this version anyways). Also, one of the developers (Timan i think) said the section of news has been cut down, rather then pasting huge blabs about news, where most of it is stored inside the "Read More.." link

I am really loving the comment section of the site, it was really well done (Y)

Well, I don't see the big deal ... like mentioned, how much time do people REALLY HONESTLY spend on the front page? I think I might spend a total of 2 seconds on the front ... if I want to know the stories, I check twitter .... then it takes me to the whole story...

This is really minor nitpicking, but in the about section where it lists the advertiser's contact details, area code 905 is not the US, but Canada. ;)

Yes, Yes it is. I would know, because my area code is 905 :p

Ambiance's pic just about sums up what just about everyone has been trying to say the last 17 pages or so. I agree completely with his idea, it keeps the new ideas, while making it a little more familiar and easier to set eyes upon.

Am I the only one who doesn't like it that much :/ ?

No, you're not. I find the colors combined with the newer font very hard to read. It makes my eyes go all blurry and watery. I'd really like the option to switch back to the old look. :(

It's also more ads than the previous version. :(

We have replied to this on this thread and the main page. No you cannot switch back to the old version.

As for real estate on the screen, lots of people are moaning about this but if we change it to be wider it'll break the whole ideas behind neowin5.

Like others have said look at other sites like vnunet, ars, cnn, ebay etc etc and there is fixed width for reasons. Just because we didn't have fixed width before doesn't mean we will have fixed width now. It just takes a little getting used to that's all.

HTML was meant to flow like print layout. Why does Neowin want to restrict that?

If I subscribe will the ads go away?

Nope. :(

I like the header design, but the layout of information irritates me. The thought process behind it seems to have been: how much stuff can we shove in? Before, there wasn't as much stuff, but it presented information in a simple manner that one could easily discern and use. Now, information is crammed together and it doesn't offer as much text per entry. Please go back to focusing on use, rather than stuff.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
