[OFFICIAL] Xbox Live Latest Demos


Recommended Posts

Haha, yea I did. But they just keep coming and they're REALLY hard to take down. Eventually the demo times out, though, so you can't ever really get them all.

AC6 is a great game, definitely give it another go. Be sure you understand the controls and give it more of a chance.

I thought Microsoft was keen on this by now?

The thing I didn't get about AC6 was the targetting. It just seemed to target random planes. I couldn't make sense of it.

There were rumors that they were going to block it, but they haven't done anything about it still. I think they were more concerned about Live Marketplace than demos. Actually SpartanX said they don't care much about the demos a while back.

Yeah they are strict on the marketplace videos. It will tell you the content is not available in your region if you use a US account from UK for example. Themes/arcade etc you can still download

Yeah, I'm enjoying Eternal Sonata right now. I LOVE this game.

It's one of my most anticipated games. Completely blows Blue Dragon out of the water IMO. Everything about it is beautiful. Love the combat system, which is supposed to evolve as the game progresses.

Eternal Sonata is only available in Japan right now (Korea also maybe?) and the only way to get it in the US/UK etc is to make a new Live account with a Japanese address etc. It was explained a bit a page or two back if you want to look for it.

I would assume a US/European demo will be released soon enough, since the game is coming out soon after all.

Yeah that is true as i tried to download that free high def austin powers movie from the american marketplace with my fake us account but it blocked it and came up with that message

Thread Updated: The Bigs Demo

We're at a hundred pages, woot! :woot:

Was just going to point that out actually which is why I am in here.

It is quite a feat actually, especially considering this is one of the few threads that is not made up of pages and pages of responses going back and forth about the same thing over and over. :p

I'll have to try out The Bigs. I'm not much of a baseball fan, so I definitely need a demo to determine if I want it or not.

Thanks for the info! :)

Oh, and go and congratulate me in my 8000 posts thread in Milestones :shifty:

The Bigs is AWESOME. First Baseball game I've played on a console since like 1997 or so. I tried MLB 2K7 etc, but just didn't like them at all. The Bigs is arcadish and just plain fun.

The home run pinball minigame is a BLAST (pun intended) and overall I think the game is terrific. It's also the first game where I've gotten the majority of the achievements :)

Well I never played any of the Blitz games, but yes its very much like them. Over the top action, overpowered hits/pitches etc, but it also offers some pretty deep gameplay like when to use your special power hits or pitches or throws or base running ability etc. Plus even though there isn't any season mode or franchise mode here, the Rookie mode is pretty robust and offers some nice touches.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
