[OFFICIAL] Xbox Live Latest Demos


Recommended Posts

Well,

Just gave the demo a test run and my god, it was horrible. It reminded me of Need for Speed: Carbon actually!

The graphical aspect of the game is great and the damage model is also very solid, the the feel of the cars is a complete joke.

There's Realism, Arcade and Codemaster Games :/

Not being fortunate enough to have a Live! Gold account, I'm not privy to downloading the new Bourne Conspiracy demo.

I was wondering if anyone here has given it a spin yet or not, and if so what your thoughts were on it? I had read the previews for it in the Official X-Box magazine and the combo system sounds interesting. It seems like they captured that bone crunching combat has seen in the movies, but from my understanding are focusing a bit more on the novels story line.

So, your thoughts on the demo?

I've played it. My thoughts? It sucks. Complete waste of time.

I agree, i liked everything apart from the feel of the cars which is very disappointing. Hopefully they will sort it out before launch but its highly unlikely that will ever happen.

I am amazed thet Demos clearly state "Not final product/Not A Representation of full game" And yet they have been snipped directly from the finished final game.

I really hope CM does sort this out and gain feeback from the demo and sort the steering out which i would like otherwise i don't think i will bother with it.

Wow we must have played a different demo, i love every bit of GRiD and it's a deffinet a must buy. The handling is great, yes it does seem a little weird at first but once you do it a few time it's pretty realistic. Make sure u turn off all the driving aid and it makes the game alot more fun. Drifting is quite well done way better the NFS ever was, but it is a little tricky to get the hang of it just give it time guys.

Everyone has their opinions and that was just my personal opinion, it's no Forza 2 but it is alot better than NFS and it is not geared as a simulation so u just have to give it a chance, I am sure the full game will be somewhat better. Again just my opinion.

Whats the general feeling about The Bourne Conspiracy?

I really don't know how to feel about that game, it feels like I could play through all of it but on the other hand It would hurt to spend money on it...

Overall I feel its ok-ish enough for me to play it through to the end but not ok-ish enough for me to actually purchase it...

thoughts?

Yeah, i'm in two minds about it. Somes bits i thought were really cool, while other bits really annoyed it. I think i could play through it and enjoy it but i don't know. A lot of the instant death situations annoy me. QTE's are a great idea if they give you more than one chance. Shenmue did them so well because if you failed the first one, they would give you another situation.

    • I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
