[OFFICIAL] Xbox Live Latest Demos


Recommended Posts

They need to get a GOW theme and picture pack out now!!!!! :D

I do believe one is coming Sunday. I could be mistaken though...

There is one coming on Emergence Day (this Sunday the 12th) for those with Gears of War. I'm sure it will probably be available to those w/o GoW as well, but I don't know how it's going to work exactly.

Defender Coming to Xbox Live Arcade

Defender, the Midway classic is launching on Xbox Live Arcade tomorrow, November 15th. This game features classic and enhanced graphics, multiplayer (local and Xbox Live) and 2 player co-op (local and Xbox Live), online leaderboards and 12 Xbox Live Achievements.

[update: I've just been told that this one's coming hot out of cert, and we?re still aiming to bring it to you on Wednesday on XBLA. However it?s probably not going to hit at our traditional time of 0800 GMT, but our team is working really hard to get it to you as early as possible on WednesdaySource: Gamerscore Blog

is it a gold member exclusive again?

I hate how they are pushing silver members more and more towards gold, at first it was just the same except for no multiplayer, but now you have to have gold to download new releases or wait a week or 2.. :(

To be fair they did say from the start that Gold members would be getting extra content over Silver. They've just taken a long time getting around to it.

I kind of wish they didnt make Game demos Gold exclusive though, videos and other stuff yeah but demos I dunno

Yea, I think it's stupid to make it Gold exclusive and I really wish they wouldn't do that.

To be fair though, I think they're realizing how costly the bandwidth is for 1GB avg game demos and they need to do something. So, if you think about it, you can't really blame them.

As long as it's eventually accessible to Silver members, then I think I can overlook it.

Drawing within Superman is cool! (Y)

Okay, I know that was lame. So what!?

I downloaded the demo and played it for a little bit. It was alright. It was a lot like the Spider-Man 2 game but with flying instead of swinging. lol

<~ idiot

^Lmao

The demo was actually better than I expected. Granted my expectations were quite low. However, I found myself playing it for a lot longer that I intended. Kind of fun to just fly around, throw cars around, pick up chicks and drop them in smoke stacks while they thank you for "saving them". It was interesting, but next gen it is not.

Well Microsoft isn't short of money and you dont see people paying to get their demos on PC

Usually because PC demos almost always have mirrors set up by different servers to help alleviate any bandwidth issues, rarely does a developer have to serve all the bandwidth by themselves. There are even whole websites made just for serving up game demos.

The 'Cars' demo is now available on the Marketplace now. Silver members will have to wait another week if they want to download it.

    • I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.
    • No support for Windows Hello!
    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
