[OFFICIAL] Xbox Live Latest Demos

Cool! How did it fare in the review? Good or Bad?

7.5

The main thing the review said is it appears as if they left content out for later Marketplace Purchases. They said they hoped that was not the case, but they cannot thing of any other reason it was so stripped down.

Typed straight from the review...

The single player game offers 20 challenges, which are basically battles against increasing numbers of A.I. controlled worms. We miss the clever, more puzzle oriented solo scenarios from past Worms games, but these challenges definitely hone your kills for the real goods: multiplayer, On one console or via Live, up to four players can engage in a tension filled battle for pride and glory.

As thrilling - and funny - as the cartoon violence can be, Worms feels oddly incomplete. Many of our favorite weapons and tools from previous Worms games - including the BAseball Bat, Holy Hand Grenade, Skunk, and Select Worm option - are missing, and you can choose from just three environment themes (although a random landscape generator mixes up the terrain). True, this version is just $10, but it almost seems purposely downsized to allow for paid downloadable additions. (Lets hope not.)

Root Beer Tapper got a 6.

Is it just me or is NBA Street Homecourt really fun?

I really enjoyed NBA Street so i think this'll be my next purchase... they seem to have gone more extreme with this one too.

No, I had a lot of fun with this year's NBA Street as well. It was a lot of fun, I thought. Much better than previous NBA Street titles! :D Definitely at least renting. :)

Def Jam: Icon Demo Tomorrow :D

Gamers anxiously awaiting their chance to sucker punch some of hip-hop's biggest stars can finally breathe a sigh a relief. The demo for Def Jam: Icon, which was announced and quickly delayed in late January, now has a new release date.

The demo will appear on Xbox Live Marketplace tomorrow, according to EA. The details of the demo haven't changed; it will feature the Gas Station level and include two playable characters, T.I. and Outkast's Big Boi. Both artists will also have a song included in the demo. The full game will feature 29 songs, and the ability to create a custom soundtrack on the Xbox 360 version.

Def Jam: Icon is scheduled for release on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on March 6 in North America and on March 16 in Europe. For more information, read GameSpot's previous coverage.

I have 6mbit and it went pretty fast. I'm just glad I saw this thread before most people made it home to download this.

I'm just hatin' on DL because I remember him saying he upgraded to 50mbit, which is ridiculous...but I want it. :D :drool:

It's actually 30 down. ;) I wish I had 50!

I really was not trying to rub it in, just stating it was coming in faster than normal so it seemed like a good time to download it.

Still have yet to try it out.

ehh, it went fast, i downloaded it before i took my stuff from my house. Stupid dad... i hate this right now i can't stay at my house cause of him. bleh... anyway, mixed feelings about the game i think it's good, but the controls are a tad clunky, prolly cause i have no idea how they work as the demo has such a short ass timelimit.

hehe, my dad said some pretty brutal stuff about my girlfriend's race, and instead of him retracting his statement and attempting to you know do the right thing and apologize, he blamed me for having a bad attitude, and kept talking mad crazy ****. So... i picked up my ****, **Computer/360/some clothes** and went to a friend's house, and he has fight night lol so we can do that. But yeah, some really mean stuff was said about my girlfriend's race that is so far from true, and i just wasn't about to sit there and let him talk like that. It nearly ended in a fist fight between me and my father. So in turn i've basically just disowned him and luckily i've been looking for a place to move out to for the past week and a half with my best friend so i should hopefully be out soon. Until then i'm stayin here at my friend's house who's parents are being kind enough to let me stay.

Demo's i've got and played, and impressions:

Def Jam Icon: I don't care what people say about it. I love it. I loved FFNY, so i'd love this whether it sucked or not, but it doesn't. If it feels slow remember 2 things: its pre-build, and if you remember fight for new york, you had to develop your character before he became faster/stronger etc, and if you don't like the styles, you can make your own. That may not be the case, but i know you definitly make your own fighting style. I love the way you scratch songs etc, and i really hope they still have the amazing finishers? cause they made the game great for me before.

Crackdown: Amazing, buying on release.

Graw 2: Its exactly what it should be. it feels like they added more onto the original graw, and it feels better and more tactical.

i love it.

i might also try that blitz ****.

The NBA Street demo wasn't half bad. I'm going to be at least renting it.

Cuttz: Man, you're a posting machine! You joined yesterday and already have made 92 posts?! Welcome to Neowin. ;)

LOL

yeahh, guess i got alot to say man.

I love games :p

hows that NBA demo? i never got into basket ball games, but these next-gen ones are supposed to be better.

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
    • The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
