[OFFICIAL] Xbox Live Latest Demos


Recommended Posts

So it appears that date of the 20th for TH might have been bogus? I guess they still have until 6 PM Pacific Time, but it is now 7 PM Eastern Time and nothing.

I just got home from work, this is the best news all night YESSSS I LOVE skating... I mean I skate in real life so im totally a fan of tony hawk and this one looks like a must get for me. This and Splinter Cell have been godsends for my 360. I can hardly wait for Gears of war though :cry: :cry:

Tony Hawk's Project 8 Demo is up according to lots of people at MajorNelson.com, at a size of 350MB.

Unfortunately it's not showing up for me yet.

It's there, but there is a problem with the Marketplace because it's not showing up as 'new'. You have to go to Games > Game Demos > Game Demos by Genre > Sports and you should be able to get to it.

I learnt that trick a long time ago with the Marketplace. When I said it wasn't showing, it really wasn't showing - anywhere. Like I said, it's now listed twice under the Sports section. Still no MK3 but I'm sure that will be sorted soon enough as well.

THP8 demo is small but good. I'm no skater but it certainly feels a lot more realistic than the previous games. The improved graphics help too, though there seems to be some bad slowdown in certain areas. The new nail the trick feature is fun. Definitely a worthwhile demo for just 350MB. :)

DAMNIT! thats the second time i missed the PSU beta. I tried downloading it at 10:00am this morning, the beta ended at 7:00am!

bah.. i guess i'll wait till tuesday. P.S. the licence is uploaded, and you can now purchase guardian licences for PSU, but it's $14.99 (CDN or US, i dont know)

I can't see the Tony Hawk Demo.. is it US Only? and the splinter cell demo sucked, i kept getting booted, i was never able to play a game

Tony Hawks Project 8 and MK3 Ultimate released to the marketplace! :)

Now on Marketplace for all Xbox Live members except those in Asia.

Edit: I am getting reports that some folks can't see this or the UMKIII arcade title. I have escalated to the operations center. Until then...no need to post that you don't see it. It's been a helluva week, huh?

Edit: Both MK and TH are starting to appear in Marketplace for folks...if you don't see it yet, give it time as the team is actively working on this...meaning it may appear/dissapear/re-appear. Both titles will be available as soon as they can address the issue. Again, thanks for your patience. I won't have a chance to check for an update for a few hours, but it should be fixed by then. By the way: Your abilty to see (or not see) the content has nothing to do with your geo-location.

I got bored of of Tony Hawk along time ago but thought i would try the demo (seeing as it was a complete re-build from the ground up), but i have to say I LOVE IT!

The new "Nail-a-Trick mode is great, the graphics are MUCH improved, there is some nice ragdolling (Is that a real word?) in there and bails have hospital bill on them! Nice :D

Ah, I wasn't gonna even bother with it as I felt the same way with other TH titles. But after reading that, I'll definitely give it a try now, thanks! (Y)

Can anyone explain how to actually land Nail A Trick? I keep trying it and trying it, but my board just spins out of control no matter what I do. I am sure it is something simple I am missing, but I need to know. :laugh:

There's a little tutorial in the game. It's pretty easy though, you just hold down a direction on either of the analog sticks and then let it go when the board is facing back up.

I missed the tutorial... or perhaps skipped it I was so anxious. :laugh:

Okay that is what my problem is, I have just been pressing the direction instead of holding it and releasing.

The demo just timed out for me, so I will try it in a few. Thanks. (Y)

Go speak to Rodney Mullen, he's doing some street tricks in the mid section. He's the one that glows orange when in middle distance. :whistle:

    • 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.

    • Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • 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....
