Seems like it'll be a good game, but it's a very short demo. I'd also personally get it for the 360 or PS3, too, just because of the feel.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm getting tired of developers who port games to the PC not give us PC-standard features like save anywhere. That's one of my biggest beefs with current PC releases.

So I downloaded the thing and didn't even play the full 3 minutes until I decided to quit.

I can't put my finger on it, game just seems ... generic. The Call of Duty 4 engine is the only plus about it, everything does feel a bit familiar but there is something about this game I don't like. Maybe it's the boring animations, how every enemy seems to fall over the ledge the exact same way when you shoot them, how many times you are able to shoot at the guy you are chasing yet nothing happens ( I know you aren't supposed to kill him during the 'chase' but why give me 30 chances to kill him due to horrible scripting ). Could be that fact that console ports just feel like ass and trumpets when played on the PC ...

Oh well, skip :)

Well that was dissapointing, everything felt really clunky and awkward, im guessing cause its a simple console port. What a shame i had high hopes for this, i will probably still play it cause i love bond.

Its a shame really. They know they can make a sub par game, but people will buy it just because of the name. That's the issue with games such as this nowadays. With it being the first Bond Game on PC for what? 4 years? I was hoping people would be ranting and raving about it. Oh well :(

I think the reason it sucks so bad is because Treyarch are the main developers, the only game worthy of note they have done was Call of Duty 3 and that was rubbish.

Cant blame the developers porting it to PC if the original game to begin with is crap.

This given to Gearbox could have been an amazing game, but then it probably wouldnt have been out in time for the movie, maybe thats why Activision chose Treyarch because they can knock out any old crap quickly.

Just IMO, but some of you guys are being way too critical of it. It's just a short demo to give you an idea of the game. It's fairly fun, looks good and has good mechanics. It definitely feels like a console game, which is why I'll likely get it for the 360, but it's not a bad game at all.

We can't criticise from the short demo yet you can praise it, double standards much?

The demo was fun and action packed. However, it was too short. I had a "WTF" moment when it ended. What happened to the demos from back in the day? Nowadays, demos are increasing in file size and decreasing in playtime.

    • Snap Inc. launches new SPECS augmented reality glasses (for 'just' $2,195)

      Snap Inc. launches new SPECS augmented reality glasses (for 'just' $2,195) by Aditya Tiwari Image: Snap Inc. Smartglasses powered by augmented reality are the latest fashion because the smartphone market is slowly reaching saturation. Snap Inc. announced its latest AR-powered smartglasses, called SPECS, that aim to strike a middle ground between underpowered AI glasses and heavy headsets you can't wear all the time. Available in two sizes, Snap SPECS are made from high-performance Swiss TR90 polymer and feature removable inserts to support prescription lenses. Its 47mm model weighs about 132g; the bigger 52mm model weighs 136g. Snap Inc has been spreading the word about the new glasses for a while now. Earlier this year, it even spun off its smart glasses team into a subsidiary called Specs Inc. Its proprietary LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) display delivers a 51-degree field of view and 16 million colors. Snap says the device gives the feel of a 24-inch desktop monitor when you're working, and of a 115-inch home cinema screen placed about 10 feet away when watching a movie. A pair of custom stereo speakers and 6x high-SNR MEMS microphones are built into the temples of the smartglasses to deliver open-ear audio while you cast a screen, stream content, open a whiteboard, or collaborate with others. Snap Inc. patted itself on the back, saying the smartglasses don't need tethering or a puck to connect to a computer. Under the hood, SPECS draw its power from two Snapdragon processors: one for computer vision and another for running Lenses. The device supports fast hand tracking, low latency, and responsive interactions that help digital content feel anchored in the real world, according to the company, which claims that SPECS can "deliver 7-millisecond motion-to-photon latency." The smartglasses offer up to four hours of battery life on a single charge while providing AI assistance, Bluetooth notifications, Lenses, audio/video playback, and more. The battery life could jump to 20 hours of mixed use when the charging case is included. Image: Snap Inc. You can view and interact with AR Lenses anchored directly to the physical world around you, and an on-board AI assistant uses the camera to see what's around to answer questions or provide real-time help with tasks. Snap Inc. noted that it filed more than 7,000 patents during the development of SPECS. It's trying to build the required digital ecosystem around the smartglasses, and said that developers have already published hundreds of Lenses for SPECS. Moreover, their electrochromic lenses use the same technology available in Boeing 787 Dreamliner windows, enabling them to shift from clear to tinted in just 10 seconds when you walk out of your house. Snap SPECS are now available for pre-order on the official website with a $2,195 price tag ($200 refundable deposit). The smartglasses are expected to ship in the US, UK, and France during the Fall this year.

      Sound Booster 1.13 Build 575 by Razvan Serea Increase volume on your laptop. Boost the volume of even very quiet speakers. Raise volume above maximum. Letasoft Sound Booster can be used as an extra amplifier when the volume of the program you are listening to is too low for comfortable listening and you feel that your PC’s speakers can produce a louder sound. This can be the case when the audio or video has been recorded at the level below normal. Or, for example, when the other person’s microphone you are talking to on Skype, is not working properly. There can be a plenty of other reasons why the sound is being too quiet and there is not much you can do about it except buy external speakers. Sound of any application that is being played in the system can be amplified up to 500%. Letasoft Sound Booster can raise volume of programs like web browsers, on-line communication software (Teams, Discord, Zoom), any kind of media player or games. Simply put, volume of virtually any program that can play any sound in PC, can be boosted to a comfortable level with Letasoft Sound Booster. You can control current volume with the pop-up slider from the system tray. Alternatively, you can assign system-wide hot keys for increasing and decreasing, and use them when you need to adjust volume Letasoft Sound Booster constantly monitors current gain level and prevents samples from clipping, thus reducing all major sound distortions.

    • Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are once again selling at their lowest price

      I own these and the normal QuietComfort ones from Bose. The QC are amazing and I want to love these, but for the life of me, I have a terrible time getting them attached to my ears.
