New Demo: Rumble Roses XX; now available
I just finished playing this demo and ::puke:: This sucks, IMO. The controls are delayed, the characters move weirdly and it's really not interesting...unless you're into the T&A. After playing 1 round of this, I quickly deleted the demo. LOL!

I'm really enjoying the marketplace. I love how you can download stuff!!!!

Agreed. Rumble Roses was garbage. :x

Definitely looking forward to giving Prey a whirl in 3 days, no doubt about that. (Y)

I am definitely interested in comparing the two different platforms, both the 360 and the PC versions as well, as my comp handled the Doom 3 engine fairly well... So I do feel as if it will be a pretty good indicator of performance between the two platforms themselves...

I'm looking forward to it too... but something tells me it's going to be delayed. Here's hoping I'm wrong! :D

Well it appears as if the PC version for Prey has indeed been released, but I am getting terribly slow speeds... I do imagine we should see the demo for the 360 tomorrow as planned, so that is the good news, I was just hoping it too would also be released at midnight... Oh well...

From 3drealms:

"Here's a quick message from our forums, posted by 3DR president George Broussard about availability of the Prey 360 Demo.

We do not want 360 people waiting up for the demo or having false expectations. The 360 demo will not appear on Marketplace tonight.

I'm still waiting for specifcs, but I'm being told that it's still in testing at Microsoft. From what I understand this isn't Microsoft's fault, and is more likely just an issue of timing.

I'm hesitant to give any estimates for a release, but I've been told it should be reasonably soon after the PC release, but could be as long as a few days.

We will post an update as soon as we have more solid information."

So magik, it looks like by this latest news your hunch about it possibly being delayed might have indeed been correct, as that post says to me it may come out tomorrow, and it may not, that they simply just do not know...

Here is to hoping it does, because if not, MS never releases a demo on Friday correct? So that might mean all the way until Monday we will have to wait... :(

Just read that before I came here. I'm not surprised it's delayed, though. Practically everything on the Marketplace as well as updates have missed their expected release dates except during E3 week.

Oh well, I may or may not try the PC demo first. I'll check the requirements tomorrow and decide then.

Edit: Forgot to add a funny quote from George Broussard of 3D Realms in that thread...

It's not Microsoft's fault. They aren't gay. Really.

This, however, was in response to someone else calling the MS testing department gay. :laugh:

I had come up with a reason in my head this morning why I thought the Prey Demo might be delayed, and it appears someone else come up with the same theory in the thread I link to the 3D Realms forums in my above post, it it is actually quite a simple one... the Cursing/Swearing.

Reading on those forums, people are claiming although the option to turn it off is there in the PC demo, but it does not work. I am not going to bother checking because honestly I did not want to overplay the demo as I do want to try it on my 360, but I would think perhaps something is up with the cursing or even the fact the game is Rated M for mature players only. I am not sure right now if XBL would stop a kid from downloading a demo that was rated M or not, and maybe MS are trying to figure out a way if that is possible, because the demo does has a few F bombs and cursing in it.

Just a theory...

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
