[OFFICIAL] Xbox Live Latest Demos


Recommended Posts

Won't let me download the Test Drive demo. Keeps saying connection lost, try again in a few minutes. Must be tons of people trying to grab it.

yeah i noticed that last night, keep trying and you'll get it eventually

i noticed a lot of people were using the servers (practically everybody on my friends list was downloading the E3 content)

Haha, yea, and I'm sure the fact that Gold is free for this week doesn't help matters much, eh? :D

I'm getting that crashing bug on Test Drive, i am sure it has something to do with the online portion of the game. I played it fine multiple times yesterday when it couldn't connect to the server, but today, twice in a row it crashed.

Yea, I think they underestimated the servers they would need just for the Demo and the servers may be crashing which in turn crashes the (already unstable) demo.

The Lost Planet demo causes my 360 to freeze....It's getting on my damn nerves.

You are not the first person I have read saying this. Definitely not good. :no:

Well, it is a demo, and my guess is it was probably rushed to meet the E3 hype, so I would just take it with a grain of salt and chalk it up as it maybe it should have not been released as soon as it was.

People keep saying Lost Planet crashes there 360's but it runs sweet as on mine. :s Am i the only one? :| lol And is it just me or are the XBLM downloads zooming today, i've just downloaded about 6 trailers in 10 minutes when usually it would take 10 mintues to get to 50 percent of one. (I ain't complaining)

Same here, no crashes here neither. Test drive unlimited though is a different matter, crashed on me twice so far and its the 1st time my 360 has crashed heh

yeah the XBL servers seem faster, probably because people have stopped downloading all the trailers :p was well busy last night

Same here, really enjoyed both levels in the demo really shows alot of the game. Blooming hard though, maybe thats because i'm crap at aiming on a console.

It's not your aim that's the problem, the game is definitely difficult to aim as compared to other console FPS.. trust me, this is coming from an avid console FPS gamer. :cool: Anyway, I thought the demo was fantastic and I wasn't really all that excited about this game until I played the demo. I might just pick this up, I think the aiming thing is just a matter of getting used to/compromising.

MotoGP '06 Demo is on Marketplace and weighs in at 882.53MB

Also looks like they've got more servers on Live now because this download is belting along.

That's probably just because most people are at school or work right now. I'm sure it'll be bogged down by the time I get home from work. Hope I'm wrong, though. I really want to try out MotoGP.

Lost Planet seems like it'll be a good game, but I really sucked at the pirate part (I forget the full name). Once I got somewhat near the mechs (or was it just one? I was getting shot too much to tell) I could barely stand up long enough to shoot sometimes. :rofl: I'll give it another go later today.

Nice, my boy just called me about the MotoGp Demo, I had no idea up until this point.

I am already at 20% and just started DLing it right before I responded in this thread, so it appears MS may have gotten their act together with the servers. (Y)

it looks very pretty. but does anyone know whats been improved besides the new season, riders, etc? still as hard as ever :p

The only thing i've seen that has improved are the graphics. The game is still blooming difficult and the default controls i found were awful.

    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
