Flatout UC demo is available on the UK marketplace.

 

[DJmizuhara]

Juiced 2:Hot Import Nights is available to download on the UK marketplace @ 1.31GB
Flatout is 751.67MB

 

[Skilotonn]

Awesome - I was hoping they'd make a Flatout demo, and they actually did!

Juiced 2 isn't something I was watching, but unexpected demos are always nice!

 

[McBacon]

What do you guys think of the Juiced demo? I like the car modding section, although it's been in so many racing games, it fits the whole Juiced world well.

But so far I can't my head around the racing, any tips?

 

[Wario64]

Dammit, I'd rather have a Flatout 2 demo for the US. Oh well. I'll try out Juiced but damn it's 1 GB.

 

[Bowen_B]

The new Harry Potter demo is worse than the Hour of Victory demo.
Try it at your own risk!!

Why is Harry's arm jointed in like 8 places? It's pretty scary.

 

[squicken]

Juiced is awful. The driving is unfun, and the T & A is just sad. There's a silhouette of a writhing women during game loads. The narrator at the beginning sounds like the lady from Burnout Revenge, only she sounds like she's trying to talk sexy, and ends up sounding like a she-male.

I used my EU account to get the Flatout demo. Excellent game, though it's kind of difficult b/c of the janky driving physics. But the amount of objects thrashing about during a race is amazing, and the framerate stays pretty steady at 30 fps. And it's pretty to look at as well. I wish this game was available in the US. I would have already bought it

 

[FrankT]

Anyone get the German Blacksite demo? Is it different than the one already released in the US?

 

[robot]

I noticed someone on my friends list was playing a Beautiful Katamari Demo - sent him a PM about it but no answer yet. Anyone know what region (if any) it was released in?

What's the guy's gamertag? I want to check his online profile.

It's on the new OXM disc.

 

[nubbe]

I think it was on the OXM disc

 

[Vyse The Legend]

It's on the new OXM disc.

Boo. People still buy OXM? KEKEKEKKE

 

[KillJade]

WTF did they do to the Juiced series? Ugh! Horrible! It's much more arcadey then the previous game. A bad arcadey! Ugh! Stupid demo.

 

[Shogmaster]

The horrible aftertaste from playing Juiced demo has throughly been washed with the Flatout demo (I used my UK silver account). WOW! That's a pleasant surprise out of nowhere. The amount of crap bing thrown in the air from the crashes and debris are awesome! If you can pick it up for $40~45 from Frys release special or something, it should be a very nice time filler while you wait for Burnout.

The Darkness demo is up:



http://www.majornelson.com/archive/2007/07/20/demo-the-darkness.aspx

FINALLY!

Getting now... even though I played the first couple of hours already, now I wanna see what it looks like over here at my place...

 

[joaomgcd]

Why is it gone?

 

[Flock]

Played through the darkness demo, pretty short but sweet. I'd like to get this game but not at full price, i'll probably pick it up in the post christmas sales.

 

[Big Takeover]

Why is it gone?

Yeah, I see no sign of The Darkness demo too. Weird.

 

[WickedLaharl]

wish my 360 was by my side right now b/c i really want to give that juiced 2 demo a spin

 

[DuckRacer]

According to Major Nelson the demo was taken down temporarily.

http://www.majornelson.com/archive/2007/07/20/demo-the-darkness.aspx?PageIndex=3

The operations team pulled this..it will be back up later today.

 

[Speevy]

I downloaded the Darkness demo earlier today. Why would it be gone?

 

[DrBaalzamon]

Why is it gone?

Weird, I downloaded it earlier today. Wonder why they pulled it? This has been a reoccurring theme hasnt it? Demo gets thrown up on the Marketplace people start downloading it like mad and then it gets pulled. Wonder what the deal is, hmm!

By the way the demo is pretty great for the first few minutes I've been playing it, woot!

-E

 

[Speevy]

Oh, well I'm deleting this demo. Don't want it giving my system another reason to die.

 

[Father_Mike]

I turned it on to get the darkness demo and it wasn't there, but all turned out fine because I ended up getting a slightly better pacman score.

 

[TheGreatDave]

I managed to get it.

I'd want my money back if I'd paid for it, because it was awful.

 

[KachoMakura]

What did you not like about it? From the first couple of levels I've played of a friend's copy it seems really interesting and fun.

 

[VibratingDonkey]

Juiced 2
I laughed at the general lameness and corny lines (his DNA is cooking, be careful you don't get burned) then made a Camaro covered in birdcrap and proceeded to drive into walls due to the floaty, erratic physics.

Flatout 2.5
Marveled at graphics, PITed a Lancer and forced it into the woods, laughed like a maniac. Pushed another car into a huge signboard, laughed like a maniac. Tried hitting a car, missed, went offroad into the woods, recovered and managed to hit the car perfectly so it went flying into a tree, laughed like a maniac. I didn't win, but who cares?

I thought I would be instabored by it as I already own and have gotten bored of Flatout 2. But nope. I'm now contemplating a purchase.

the demo was terrible, I was hoping for another decent racing game, after forza 2 got me back into racing, but this demo is laughable. No sense of speed at all.

Try Flatout UC.

 

[TheGreatDave]

What did you not like about it? From the first couple of levels I've played of a friend's copy it seems really interesting and fun.

The first "chapter" is just "sit in the car and do nothing". They have 3 for you to play, and I found the controls to just always feel off, making the combat unfun. But I didn't delve too deep, so I can't judge too much. Bad first impression though.

 

[slidewinder]

Is it still possible for an American to make a UK Live account, or has that been disabled? Thinking of checking out he Flatout demo.

I'm pretty sure you can still make one you just won't be able to buy anything from the Marketplace.

As jet1911 already said: get the FlatOut demo.

That's pretty much how I feel about the demo. It's not really great and the whole Darkness-thing feels kinda "clumsy"..

 

[Jel0man]

The Darkness demo was pretty sweet, I must say.

 

[FFChris]

That's pretty much how I feel about the demo. It's not really great and the whole Darkness-thing feels kinda "clumsy"..

I agree.

The Darkness powers felt unresponsive really, I didn't like them. The creeping was clumsy to control, and the other one had a really short range. The aiming was pretty annoying as well, seems like they added too much auto-aim.

Still, it was fun, and the graphics looked very cool.

 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

The auto aim in The Darkness is freakin' ridiculous. I'm usually not too aware of it in most games but you couldn't help but notice it in that demo. The reticle(s) are like freakin' character magnets. You get anywhere near a couple inches from an enemy and the sights gravitate towards them like a fat girl on ice cream.

And what's up with the default setting for the aim sensitivity? This is another thing I usually don't fiddle with in most games but here it's definately way too low. You really have to crank it up for it to feel half way decent.

 

[Jirotrom]

Ok guys, I don't really like the darkness I beat it and kind of was underwhelmed but in the full game you can turn auto aim completely off and adjust the turning sensitivities, so if you cant do that in the demo dont judge the quality of it from those parts.

 

[p3tran]

except x,y sensitivity, you get sliders for x,y acceleration too.

turning the auto aim off, maxing the x,y sensitivity and lowering (a lot) the x,y acceleration
makes this game play a lot better

 

[Aaron]

Even with that though, I don't think I'd enjoy it. The enemy AI is non-existent and I actually found the darkness powers boring. The snake thing was awkward, there's almost no control over the gremlin, and using the tentacle to lift things was just tedious.
