Anyone else try the Pure demo?


Recommended Posts

It's that horrid "super-shiny light" effect that games started going crazy with a couple years ago. The one that makes things appear to have some kind of aura/halo around them.

pffffft! whenever a new technology comes out for games, such as the HDR effect, then game companies go nuts over using it. kinda like doctors who over prescribe anti biotics and now the foreign agents are getting immune to anti biotics. same premise.

So we're getting immune to HDR? :blink:

:p

I tried it out earlier, and it just feels like a cheap MotorStorm imitation. The tricks are meaningless as well. Disney just tried to combine MotorStorm with SSX, and they've failed.

You do realize that Disney only published this, yes? Black Rock Studio, the guys responsible for the ATV Offroad Fury franchise are behind this, a game that was out before both MotorStorm and SSX.

Good visuals - quite a decent ride. Only thing I have an issue is the control system (i didnt check whether it can be changed). But the "preloading" thing by pressing down on the stick seems unnatural - by default I keep feeling like pressing up. Pressing up would give the motion of leaning forward and pushing more weight on the front, then by pulling back you get more air when you jump. Thats how I think they should have done the controls anyway!

I liked it but not enough to purchase it. At least not for now, I may pick it up cheaper sometime down the line. Right now though there is far too many games on my wanted list.

Better than Motorstorm imo, but didn't have the fun element of SSX.

What we really need is a new SSX.

i was just talking with some friends about this the other day and it was one of my favourite games on the last generation consoles and i don't know why one hasnt come out this generation

on topic: planning to play this game later, watching dark knight again first :)

i don't know why one hasnt come out this generation

I think there was one released for the wii, but it just looked like SSX 3 with motion controls. I've been hoping for a new SSX since the 360 launch, why they waste their time with the stupid wii instead of releasing a proper sequel is beyond me.

I could probably report your post for that, but I'm not going to be that petty. Any particular reason you felt it was inadequate to phrase this along the lines of "I'd prefer to see a sequel for the PS3 or 360 instead?"

I'm in the same boat as Munky (promise I wont bail and land it on your head this time ... private joke :)) I liked the demo, but not enough to actually buy the game just yet, maybe wait till it drops in price or as pre-owned.

TBH I thought the videos of it released thus far were pretty dire, but I decided to give it a go this evening and it was actually quite fun. Demo was quite abrupt too, finish the race and then it just dumps you out, no option to try again. I'm also unsure of the longevity of it overall :(

    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
