No. We're talkin' about the Full Auto demo that is supposed to be available to download today on the Xbox Live Marketplace!
It's 2:48 PM right here in Canada and the demo's still not there!

I've been playing it all day on the OXM demo disk.
I decided to give it another whirl.
It's a very good game but it seems to get a little old pretty quick. I hope LIVE really makes this game shine cuz this game reminds me of a HiDef Crazy Taxi with guns.

If the game is to come out today in Marketplace it will probably be by the end of the day today. Normally any updates done to a server take place at a certain hour during the day and from what I remember Figh Night Round 3 came out in the evening.
We'll see if SEGA said the whole truth!

Are you taliking about Full Auto? Cause in the latest issue of OXM it came with a demo for FFXI,, let us know what's up? or what are you smoking this days that has you playing games that have yet to come out?
We're talkin' 'bout the Full Auto demo that will be on Xbox live Marketplace 4 FREE today!
I didn't want to pay for a OXM issue play the damn demo. I heard also that the Full Auto demo on that OXM disk sucked alot cuz of the frame rate slowdowns issues. I'm hoping that the NEW demo will be sumthin' more like the finished product.

January OXM has this exact same demo! The only bad thing is that every time you race it goes back to the discs menu and you have to reload it. Atleast this demo you can keep playing without reloading it everytime,......................Hopefully!!!!!

I have the OXM disc just so you know you can play one level and you have the choice of 2 cars... it didn't really grab me but then I've only played it once since I got got.
Also I've heard that the OXM one is the exact same demo that was at ZeroHour leading up to the launch, so it's a very old demo and I highly doubt they've made a whole new one between the OXM release and the XBLM release.

The final question is - will it flop as big as Ridge Racer???
Post by: shodanjr_gr on January 26, 2006, 05:47:00 AM
Also i hate the fact that at the end of the demo it throws you back to the dashboard.
Gameplay wise i like it though. Reminds me of twisted metal, and unwreck is really cool.
Lets just hope that by the time it is released, the framerate will not be such an issue.
Post by: Lerxst on January 26, 2006, 07:09:00 AM
I hope I'm wrong cus I was really wanting this game to be good - kind of nostalgic with carsh and burn on the 3D0

And clearly those hitches are bugs in the beta version. It's funny how people jump on a game like full auto but let NFSMW (glorified in this very thread) get away with the same kind of crap. It's demo is FULL of stutter, tearing and insane slowdown especially at HD, and again nowhere near PGR3 graphics (bloom over last-gen geometry doesnt equal great graphics). Double standards, tisk tisk!
If the final Full Auto still has these same issues THEN I'll join the lynching squad happily. A small developer cannot take risks like EA can, as in release beta level products with huge performance issues.
Post by: LowProfileWurm on January 26, 2006, 09:05:00 AM
The thing that twists my nipples the most is that this is supposed to be a demo that encourages sales... not discourages them. If you're going to offer a game demo 2 weeks before retail delivery, you need to put out something that glorifies the title, not some thing that's 2 months old (or more). Obviously many of you are doubting buying the game now on account of this crusty old demo... this is NOT what Sega's PR machine needs.

If it weren't for this demo, I wouldn't even be interested in this game.
It has tons of potential, and you won't hear me bitching about how an unfinished demo has frame rate issues.
The dev has gone on record many times saying that they're aiming for a rock solid 60 fps.
If they can't achieve that, well shame on them. I won't lose sleep over it....
Having said that, is anyone else experiencing freezing?
The game seems to lock up more so when I use the red car for some reason.
I was having this same freezing problem with the game running on two different OXM disks.
Now the downlaod is doing the same thing.
I'm worried that there might be a problem with my X360
Yeah, your 360 should be the problem because I have experienced no freezing.
Just call M$, to make sure to have a working 360 before your warranty is dead.

You should do the same! Even if you got an extended warranty, this is only applies for the retailers. Like you should know, you cant just walk-in a retailer and exchange one cuz they don't got any! The best move is to deal with M$ directly!

Now that the game is finished, they should make a demo with final code so people could see how it has improved. But most publishers think when its out its done, no more money wasted on demos or patches unless there is a devastating problem with the product (where it hurts them more than wasting some money on a patch).
In fact all and any games could be patched, but we've yet to see a single patch on any actual game on the 360. The publishers do not want to admit their titles have issues (like poor performance or downright bugs) to save face and money. And hey its working for them, many people deny their favorite title has any issues at all (Quake4, NFSMW etc).
People always say we dont want the PC thing happening on consoles where patches come out later. Well now we have this reality where many if not most of the launch games are poorly optimized and buggy and no patches. Thats the other side of the coin I guess.
Would I buy NFSMW or Quake4 if they ran at a rock solid framerate? No, but it pains me to see such criminally bad performance in any game.
