Welcome to Neowin 5


Recommended Posts

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.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

    • Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
