I am curious to try this one out too, wonder if it will become too repetitive quickly. However it is only a short demo so I guess not :D

That's what I want to know. I can't see an entire game of this being that thrilling, so I'll be getting the demo of this to see :)

Demos out on PSN, get downloading guys!

I want some impressions :)

I can't download till 10pm :(

Alright, alright! Since you twisted my arm so much :p Downloading now, but it's going soooooo slowly as usual. I *might* get chance to play it today, but i've got a lot of Prison Break to catch up on :D

Go live with DirtyLarry then, he downloads off PSN at light speed :laugh:

I think he downloaded R&C Booty Bay in like 15 mins (it's 2 gig odds).

Awaiting impressions, I only have 3mb, so even if I start at 10 I won't get it that quickly :(

ps. Do you have the ports open on your router for PSN?

Seriously, I love how people blame their crap connections or their crap ISP's for bad PSN speeds. I truly do.

So sorry, but I download things on the PSN just as fast if not faster than Live, as AB pointed out, I got Ratchet N Clank Quest For Booty in less than 15 minutes, and it was over 2 GIGS.

But thats right, I have the magic PS3, the only one in the world, that downloads fast. :rolleyes:

Yeah, funny how on my connection I can download at ~800kbps ANYWHERE else. A gig on Live takes minutes but even a system update from PSN drags out for ages. But yeah, it's OBVIOUSLY my crap connection :rolleyes:

It could be port settings.

PlayStation?Network>

* TCP Ports: 80, 443, 5223

* UDP Ports: 3478, 3479, 3658

That link has all the ports you may need to open for PS3/PSP related things.

I personally just assigned my PS3 a static IP, then setup that IP as a DMZ server (means every port is essentially open for use).

DMZ server isn't that safe for PC use, but for console use it will be fine. No one tries to hack your PS3:laugh::

What is this magic PS3 you speak of... and where does one acquire such an item

I think it comes down to pure luck of the servers... I have had great DL speeds at times and extremely slow DL speeds... I am on an 8mb connection.... I doubt Sony and MS have that big of a difference in bandwidth speeds... just comes down to how many other people are DLing when you are..

ugh, cant wait to play this demo, but i have to wait until they update the American servers :(

Just make a European PSN.

All the cool kids have a USA/European and Japanese PSN account for downloading :laugh:

Problem is, we're blaming Sony's servers ...

Problem is, this is a thread about a demo, and instead of talk about the demo, there are people complaining about PSN's speeds.

That is an issue.

No offense as I happen to be lucky and it was in my area and that is how I have FIOS, but yeah, that is not the best of connections.

On average I get 25 MBPs, which is at least 25 times faster than your 800kbps.

Above is the slowest test I have seen to date, on my iMac, which is wireless. My PS3 and 360 are both wired.

And the reason I made the crap connections comment, is I am seriously tired of every time something is mentioned about a PSN related item, there are always the same comments about peoples speeds. It is without a doubt trolling, as you are adding nothing to the conversation at hand and you are not saying anything that has not already been said 1000 times in other threads, so give it a rest, seriously.

And that is directed at several people, not just you.

It could be port settings.

I have to ask, did anyone who has bad speeds try this????

I had to do this on my router for both Live (different settings) and for the PSN. Until I set this up, my speeds were not great on either.

That link has all the ports you may need to open for PS3/PSP related things.

Also, I do not see the demo on the American or Japanese store. I do not have a European account. :blush:

What? My comment was entirely within context. But yeah, if we all shut up and stop mentioning a problem that rears its head at times like this, it will go away. Damn why didn't I realize....

Just had a quick playthrough, the game is really fun. Controlls are very intuitive, graphics are good but there is HUGE problem with jaggies, I think that's more down to the PS3s inability to handle AA more than the game itself, i'll be interested in seeing the 360 version.

On the plus side, they have the 'whole body' thing down to a tee. It really feels like you're an actual person in the game rather than a bodyless set of floating arms like in Valve games. Looking forward to getting this on release.

    • I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.
    • No support for Windows Hello!
    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
