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:

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.

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 :(

    • Classic 7 is Windows 10 LTSC cosplaying as Windows 7

      Works fine here too. About this build, I don't like to download any kind of Windows, from any site except Microsoft. The mod might work, but I don't know what it's inside. Can contain malware, backdoors... Long time ago I've used something like this but reversed - it was 98se with the look and some functionality  of XP. Or, later XP with Vista look. But I made it myself. Not downloaded from obscure sites.

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Rockstar is preparing to launch Grand Theft Auto VI later this year, but ahead of that, the company has revealed a new offer for some Grand Theft Auto V owners. It today announced that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version owners of the 2013-released title will soon be receiving a free upgrade to the current generation version. The studio released the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto V back in 2022, bringing significant upgrades to the original console editions. This included 60 FPS gameplay at up to 4K resolution, as well as major upgrades to textures, draw distance, and audio. Faster load times, ray tracing elements, and HDR support were also added with it. While this new and enhanced version needed a new purchase of the game to jump in, now Rockstar has decided to make it a free upgrade, dropping the $40 price tag entirely on consoles. "Beginning tomorrow, those who own any PS4 version or the digital Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto V will be able to upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S versions at no additional cost, and experience the best versions of GTA V and GTA Online," said the company in an official blog post. The free upgrade offer will be released tomorrow, June 18, for all Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners of Grand Theft Auto V. Players who will be jumping in on the offer will want to check how to migrate their GTA Online profile from last-generation to current-generation consoles by heading over here. The offer lands ahead of The Kortz Center Heist hitting Grand Theft Auto Online, where players and crews will be tasked with stealing priceless international art from a prestigious gallery in Pacific Bluffs. It doesn't look like Rockstar plans to stop updating its previous game even with Grand Theft Auto VI being on the horizon. The latest title is slated to launch on November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.

    • Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta

      By Copernic · Posted

      Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta by Razvan Serea Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need! Oh, and Rufus is fast. For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO (with honorable mention to WiNToBootic for managing to keep up). It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USBs from ISOs. A non-exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is available here. It can be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.) you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS you want to run a low-level utility Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta changelog: Improve the guards for using the "silent" option Improve the ability to cancel during write retries Fix unrestricted XML entity expansion and integer overflow in ezxml parser (courtesy of @esadowski4) [GHSA-55r2-34wg-8mv9] Fix "silent" Windows installation failing at 75% in most cases [#2960] Fix a crash during boot when using UEFI:NTFS on Snapdragon X based ARM64 platforms [#2934] Fix the first WUE option always being checked by default [#2965] Fix an infinite loop when using Windows ISOs that contain multiple WIMs Fix "Enable runtime UEFI media validation" checkbox not always being properly enabled Other WUE improvements/fixes for OneDrive removal and username validation (with thanks to @christian8641) [#2984, #2991] Download: Rufus 4.15 Beta | 1.9 MB (Open Source) Links: Rufus Home Page | Project Page @GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
