[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:

    • This Samsung T7 external SSD deal lasts less than a day by Sayan Sen Recently we had covered some nice deals of internal NVMe SSDs which include the 4TB TeamGroup G50 for only $400, the WD_BLACK SN7100 2TB for just $243, as well as the Samsung 990 PRO 1TB for $370. If however you require an external SSD for portability and quick data transfers and have a budget of less than $200 the Samsung T7 1TB model is currently on a limited time deal at just $190, it's lowest price in nearly three months. The deal ends today so you better hurry if you need one (purchase link below). The T7 weighs in at just 72 grams meaning it should be fairly easy to carry around helping in the portability department. Via its USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface the T7 promises sequential read speeds of up to 1050 MB/s and writes of 1000 MB/s. It is also fairly robust with a drop protection of up to 2 meters, though bear in mind that this is not waterproof. For that you will have to choose the rugged T7 Shield. The technical specifications of the Samsung T7 1TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Model Code (1TB) MU-PC1T0T / MU-PC1T0H Interface USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Dimensions (W × H × D) 85 × 57 × 8 mm Weight 72 g Sequential Read Speed Up to 1,050 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 1,000 MB/s Drop Resistance Up to 2 m (6.6 ft) Encryption AES 256-bit hardware encryption Operating Temperature 0°C to 60°C Non-Operating Temperature -40°C to 85°C Humidity 5% to 95% (non-condensing) Shock Resistance 1,500 G, duration 0.5 ms, 3-axis (non-operating) Vibration Resistance 20–2,000 Hz, 20 G (non-operating) Get it at the link below: Samsung T7 Portable SSD, 1TB External Solid State Drive, MU-PC1T0T/AM, Gray: $189.98 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • I just wish they would put more love into Virtual Desktops. There is just so much more they could do.
    • Sounds like you just skimmed over the review, I answer all those questions in it. Although I admit I did not test if DTS works over the headphones, when I get some time I will test this. My personal use case is more speaker-driven (I cover this in the review too).
    • It actually does the same exact thing as yours, 7.1 virtual surround over headphones. From the product page: "Experience sound that surrounds you with 7.1 virtual surround, delivering a wider, more immersive soundstage for movies, games, and music." So both of them are two channel, with 7.1 virtual surround that only work in Headphones mode.
