Ugh this zip look odd. I don't think it will work.

[RoboPlato]

Weapon sounds are way nerfed from ME2's. Are they final?

That's surprising considering that DICE helped out on the weapon sounds.

[Milly79]

WinRAR wouldn't even open it correctly. Was giving me an error. Hmph.

[Skilotonn]

I'm getting a million errors trying to move any files/folders that were in Vire's download to Horizon, mostly things about invalid headers and not being a valid Xbox360 package. I have no idea how the data file was pulled, either whatever was in Vire's download isn't complete/correct, there is something weird specific with this demo (which seems like it might be the case), or I'm doing something wrong. I'm going to wait until someone figures this out.

Yeah, dunno how it was pulled either, but it typically follows the format of content/0000000000000000/eight-digit number with letters/00080000 - which is why I won't be able to do anything with this I think.

Vire, did it ever look like that when you took it out within those four folders, and you just took the content of the last folder?

[LumpOfCole]

Anyone streaming the demo or put their playthrough up on a video site yet?

[Moaradin]

Weapon sounds and sounds in general are leagues ahead of the last games.

[SailorDaravon]

The .rar worked fine for me, but I was (apparently) one of the lucky few who got it from the original dropbox link.

Yeah, what I got was nothing at all like that, I think this is either missing files/directories or something weird is specific to this demo.

I really wish we could get this to work...

Anyone have a good guide for how you typically rip a demo off the 360? I'll try again recompiling if you guys can help.

This guy is http://en.twitch.tv/sournothardcore

but hes not really being serious anymore. Hes done like 3-4 playthroughs already and right now hes just messing around with the ugliest Shepard possible. Still gameplay though.

[The Xtortionist]

No way dude... Sounds way better.

I'm using DT990s with a Mixamp. I know it's not my sound system because other SFX like the Reapers (EARGASM) sounded amazing.

how did you ripped it?

It's structure looks like a content that can't be shared (XBLA games, etc).

edit: I just saw the demo sharing thread, and it's working. So its not the case. Must be something wrong with your procedure.
edit 2: oh... I just realized that you just plugged the USB stick in your PC and copied the content? It will not work. You need a specific software to rip the content.

[Sanjuro]

EDIT: Wait, nm. You're in the same boat as me still.

Alright, what is the software I need? (I'm running Lion OSX)

Edit: Couldn't you rip the content since it's the same file I would be ripping?

[rozay]

Do you guys think there's any way to get the music out of the uploaded file?

[Skilotonn]

Do you guys think there's any way to get the music out of the uploaded file?

Probably, but I wouldn't know how though.

Damnit EA, I think I'm just gonna call it a night till tomorrow to see if something works out.

I peaked just for a second and the graphics are a huge step up over 3. The motion blur really adds a lot too. I just hope that's intact on the PS3 version since it's a huge part of the visual makeup of ME3 and I don't know of any UE3 games with motion blur on PS3.

[Sn4ke_911]

The music now on stream. I fucking need it.

edit: ah fuck this guy, he ruined the whole scene.

[Dany M]

Just go back when he started. I'm going to watch that. I was hoping since I am at my parents house this weekend; that someone would fine a somewhat feasible way to get this through but it doesn't seem like it anymore but whatever. I'll just watch this guy play.

[shinnn]

I don't know if the structure is locked to your console id. I'll try just copy the content.

What's the size of pendrive you used? 4gb?

[The Xtortionist]

On weapon sounds:

26:30

13:30

Pistol sounds way weaker in ME3.

In the ME2 vid he switched to disruptor ammo.

[Vire]

8 gb

I found the program USBXTAFGUI - but I can't run it since it's an exe. I tried using Wine but it's giving me all sorts of errors.

[hlhbk]

So we haven't found a way to put it in the USB or DVD that works yet? I am downloading from that 2nd link right now.

[Milly79]

Considering people are still working on it... no. Learn to read?

[Robot Pants]

Man...BioWare really has some of the worst UI design I've ever seen.
EVER.

[The Xtortionist]

I don't believe that has an effect on sound.

Anyway I used incinerator ammo on all weapons in the ME3 demo and they still sounded weak (except the shotgun).

Maybe I'm just crazy.

In other news, those Reaper SFX are possibly the best SFX I've ever heard in a game.

[Dark Sun Cetra]

That's surprising considering that DICE helped out on the weapon sounds.

I thought the weapon sounds were much punchier than ME2. Eh, different strokes I suppose.

[The Last Wizard]

So the We transfer download wont work right? So I can just cancel it now?

[Vire]

So the We transfer download wont work right? So I can just cancel it now?

Yeah, pretty much.

I'm trying to get a second file going but I'm having a lot of trouble here using the programs since I'm on Lion.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.

[shinnn]

I don't know a program to work with mac =(

Well. I managed to reproduce the exactly structure in my pen drive. I used a 4gb stick and formatted in the X360 as 2GB. Trying to copy right now.

If it not be recognized in my X360, I still can try to rip the content via USBXTAFGUI.

[The Last Wizard]

Will try. Gonna take a while to D/L, however. Either my connection or the hosting, I'd bet on the former.

You only get banned if you are super annoying on GAF.

Not to sound ungrateful but this thing is downloading hella slow,says 50 min left but no progress.

It's spotty. It sped up for me after about 5 minutes.

Damn, yeah. I'll try there then.

Ashley looks much better now.

Beta:


Demo:

[Nirolak]

You know, I don't use my 360 a lot, so maybe I'm just terrible with gamepads, but I feel they definitely weren't joking when they said this was a lot harder than ME2.

[StalkerUKCG]

Do you guys think there's any way to get the music out of the uploaded file?

Unless you know how have the ability to rip the Game/Demo file itself to your pc and then know how to extract the audio is a format you pc can read then know.


Protip. You cant

[rozay]

Gambit, is your link also in files like Data0000 Data0001 or do you have the game files not encrypted in the 360's format?

[Skilotonn]

It always pays to take one last look - thanks a lot Gambit61!

Getting it at 1.8 MB right now.

[The Last Wizard]

The 275 mb file is downloading quick but the 1.96 gb is downloading really slow.

edit seems to have sped up to 1mb a sec now.
