[OFFICIAL] Xbox Live Latest Demos


Recommended Posts

Apparently, you only get the time limit on the Crackdown demo once you have levelled up something twice. If you don't level up you don't get a timer. I can't verify that though as i'm still waiting for the thing to download.

Definitely picking up Crackdown.

It seems like it will be a great time killer, and I am already hooked on jumping from Rooftop to Rooftop.

Most of the time I spent I was collecting Agility Orbs, did two of the missions as well, and I had more than enough fun.

Probably will go preorder it sometime this week.

I'm not too sure about Crackdown to be honest. I've never been a great fan of sandbox games and I always get pretty bored of them in the end. I want to like Crackdown though so I can justify the price and Halo 3 beta :p I have it on preorder for now and decide once I play some more.

There is no doubt the game looks fantastic though and I can see the appeal it has, it just doesn't hold my attention very long :/

I liked the demo, except the time limit thing. They could have just limitted how much you could increase your strength. I didnt even try any of the missions, i just had fun jumping on stuff. I got 50 or so of those agility things, i could have gotten more but i didnt realize what they did until i got the 30 minute warning. I was able to jump 25ft and throw 1,000lb or something like that.

hmm i really like battlestations midway, but im getting stupid lag whenever i play the demo, i dont know if its cause its a demo, a crap host or a problem at my end,

im on 2mb, have my 360 connected to my pc and connection is bridged, then my computer wirelessly connected to router, the lag is stupid, like not 5 seconds, it seems like minutes! ill be there in my battleship and i always test to see if there is lag, by using the AA guns in the water, once i did it, and nothing happened for 5 minutes...

i just cant seem to have any more fun with this demo!!!

Ok,

I had a quick play with the demo. So far first impression is it looks similar to GRAW, but then you start to notice the tweaks and enhancements.

For example the Droid to scan areas, is now manually controlled when you scan, and you see an top down view of the map, and you move the droid around to scan what you want to see etc. Pretty cool.

All in all it looks very polished, and i like it so far.

i wish it was a MP demo but when is the release date?

Does anyone know if they will be using the Engine from the single player into the MP yet? the one thing i really didnt like was how SP was differnt than MP engine wise and you couldnt do all the same things

    • Web search has been one of those crap ware that I try to get rid of asap. It's annoying and slow. It was a cheap way for Microsoft to drive traffic to Bing.
    • All I can say is that think the USB G8 is better in many ways, and costs the same or slightly less. I wouldn't part with mine. It's even a big improvement over the G6 USB. (You can also use studio phones (up to 600 OHMs I think) with the G8, but I have to say that even relatively cheap 30-50 OHM phones sound absolutely great--far better than through most internal motherboard sound!) Considering the difference in these products I am surprised that Creative is still making the PCIe internal card versions. https://www.headphoneer.com/cr...ve-sound-blaster-g8-review/
    • I missed this when you first posted it, but those are awesome icons! I would normally prefer things to be uniform, but each of those icons seems to fit perfectly for the game! If I may ask though, what was your thought process on which icons are circular - MK makes sense - and which ones should be rectangular or square?
    • What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact. Also, the clipping tool comes in handy, as well (hit print scrn on the keyboard and it activates immediately.)
    • I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output!
