[OFFICIAL] Xbox Live Latest Demos


Recommended Posts

Not trying to cause pages of arguments, but if there are indeed tearing issues on the 360, which I am not sure if there are or not as I am currently downloading the demo so I can try it out on the 360 as well so I have not seen it in action, but I can tell you there are no tearing issues at all on the PS3. None.

Yea, but that was my point. If a game has tearing issues on the 360, it will probably also have tearing issues on the PS3, especially since the 360 has a higher memory bandwidth. So the issue goes down to the developer, not the console. If there are any exceptions they may be due to a game that was developed on the PS3 and then ported over to the 360 poorly. But again, that goes down to lazy/incompetent developers.

Wow after seeing some videos months back, I finally got to play the demo of DMC 4...and wow! Since I never had a PS2 I missed a lot of fun Capcom games.

This was my first play with the series and like before...wow! I only got to play the first half of the demo (executioner?) but still Capcom delivered. I realized how much I liked their in game cinematics when I played through Lost Planet. I immediately loved DMC 4 for that reason.

Just reading some of the comments above shows that I wasn't the only one with camera issues at time, but I think that can be looked past because this game overshadowed it. :D

It kind of makes me mad thinking back to how many button mashing combo games I missed not having a PS2 like the God of War series for example. At least I will get to have a taste of God of War on my PSP because the demo was fantastic. This kind of fighting games (button mashers) don't beat out of my love for FPS's, but they sure do come close (especially with CGI). :D

Wasn't there supposed to be a Turok demo up sometime?

Did anyone else get weird control responses when playing DMC4? Seemed to me that nero walked, ran and sprinted as and when he bloody-well pleased, even though I had pushed the stick fully...

I could be wrong, but I think it has nothing to do with pressing in or anything, just if you fully walk forward for x amount of seconds, he would start to run.

Yeah, I actually just read that in a review of the demo, haha.

But I had trouble just telling him to run (not sprinting, just running), a lot of the time he'd just walk forward. I found I could move the stick back and forward and THEN he'd start to run, if that made sense.

Yeah, that makes sense. Pretty much the exact opposite for me, he seemed to run all of the time. LOL

Ah the running, I forgot to mention that. I had no clue what button I pressed the first time he started running. After about another minute of deducing, I realized I went brain dead and that the main character just runs after you have been moving for a while.

For those that have played the Turok demo already, does it feel at all the N64 ones or is this something completely new.

Completely new. Completely.

And man, I finally checked it out last night, how did Turning Point even make it's way to the public? What a huge steaming POS.

Funny you mention Turning Point. I think that was the quickest time from the first time I played it to when I deleted it. :p

The Turok demo wasn't half bad. I could see it being a pretty fun game as a rental. My main complaint was that the frame rate isn't all that hot at times.

Remember though, it is a demo so I wouldn't expect perfect frame rates all over. I would think they still have time to polish some of those "rough" spots.

What was wrong with the turning point demo? It seemed like a pretty generic FPS to me, but nothing majorly bad stuck out. Did I miss something really obvious? (wouldn't be the first time that happened!).

I felt the same way about the Turok demo, it didn't seem anything particularly special either.

Exactly my thoughts, I was gonna warn you to not bother downloading but I thought it best you see for yourself :p

Seriously though I was sitting there AMAZED at how bad this game was heck its worse then last years Hour of Victory and I began thinking why do they bother? Isn't this a waste of money does it not cost a lot to produce this? geez I will never understand what goes through these peoples minds :|

Maybe my mind was so completely blownwith how good CoD 4 was that no game will ever come close ?

Let me explain..

1) Has the graphics a developer should be ashamed to produce on a PS2.

2) The dumbest AI video gaming has ever seen, the type that all literally line up and wait for you to shoot the one after the other

3) The accuracy of the guns is so bad the only safe place to be is the actual enemy etc.

I guess if Turning Point was my baby I'd be pretty pleased with it to be honest. That's why these games come out, 'nd if all the ****ty games never came out we wouldn't actually have that many...

Turok was okay, just okay.

    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
    • Just saw a news report of a Waymo driving into a flooded road.
    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.
