Crysis 2, MLB 2K11, Top Spin 4 and Black Ops demos hit Xbox LIVE

XMNR: Xbox LIVE went a little demo crazy this morning as four demos landed for Xbox 360 owners to download and try out. Three of them are for upcoming games while one is for an already released game.

Black OPs demo? WHo give a rat's ass about that? I bet the demo plays better than the full game.

[siyrobbo]

its much better because its finished in ten minutes and then can be deleted

[Megaton]

Does Crysis 2 require this retarded registration on 360? If not, 360 is clearly the superior version. THIS SH*T REFUSES TO WORK ON PC!

Hey. I might be wrong, but my mate downloaded the demo and he said using "login" for both username and password gives you access. I don't know if he's just messing with me but at least it's something, right? Peace.

Worked fine for me on PC

Honestly...why on Earth would one download the Black ops demo today,almost 4 months after the launch of the game? :/
Let alone the Crysis 2 demo is released the same day! :/

Remember the impact the Modern Warfare 2 demo (which released in April 2010, even later than this) had on game sales? The game began to chart on the NPD listings again. I assume there is a sizeable audience waiting for COD demos before jumping in.

im going to dl this one and try it today.

[sourav93]

Why would you give the 360 another multiplayer demo when the ps3 demo has not even been released yet? You (Crytek) said that you treated every platform equally. All lies!

[ColecoVision]

I'm downloading it right now for my Xbox. As for the PS3... Crytek is most likely dialing things in, cause a first impression is a lasting impression.

[plb]

Blame MS. They paid for the timed exclusive.

[Raptura]

what?

The Crysis 2 Xbox 360 demo is pretty fun.. but I already had lots of chances of playing that version of the demo for a while now, the MP beta a little while ago & now this one released today..

I want to see how the PS3 demo performs.. And if it looks as good as the 360 one. :)

[starchild]

I'm sure the PS3 demo isn't too far off now.

[Buho]

Every Xbox 360 owner already owns Black Ops, that's all they ever play LOL!

[xstation79]

Thats all ps3 gamers play too LOL!

Played the multiplayer beta on xbox for 2nd time and still not impressed at all. Graphics are nothing spectacular. Apart from realistic lightning engine, it looks like there's no AA, constant textures and shadows pop-in, sub HD, and still only 30 fps. CoD is nothing spectacular graphically too, but it has 60FPS which is much more easy on eyes.

But most importantly, the gameplay is nothing new, imho. It's just plain boring, same old shit once again. Once again they just copy Call of Duty's perks, attachements, killstreaks etc. I want something new, I want to be surprised like I was when CoD4 came out three years ago.

Here's hope that single player will be good. Overall, it looks like it's gonna be the 2nd big dissapointment of the year, after Killzone 3 which really is Killzone 2 minus some features.

The aliasing isn't any worse than the aliasing in Killzone 3 or Halo Reach, i.e. pretty standard for a console game. If you want better anti-aliasing build a gaming PC.

Aside from COD, which doesn't have very impressive graphics, the vast majority of shooters on console run at 30fps.

LOD changes and shadow draw-in are also completely normal. They even happen on PC games, but you don't notice them as much because the changes occur at a much farther distance from the player/camera. Consoles have much less RAM to work with so the LOD changes happen at a closer distance.

As for the gameplay, I completely disagree with you. I have played the PC version and the 360 version quite a lot now and I find it extremely enjoyable. The nano suit really does add a lot of tactics to the gameplay. I also love how much freedom of movement the game gives you to traverse the levels. There is a lot more vertical gameplay than in most online shooters.

It sounds like you are more of a COD fan, so I guess you just have different taste in games.

Starchild halo reach graphics were crap and had massive frame rate issues.

Killzone 3 is top notch with some the best graphics ive ever seen a a gaming platform. The killzone game series is some of the most hardcore fps games ive ever played so here is what I have to say.

I noticed a few of you loosers maybe multiple account users trying to downplay kz3.

Do your self a favor sthu quite talking sh1t about killzone. Find a damn article or website that will make you feel good about your piece of plastic if you need that kinda of reassurance.

I cant go into one article without it being flamed by a 12 year old nub and killzone being smeared threw out.

Btw I don't reply to haters so don't bother.

[baodeus]

so demo of crysis2 is for the sp or MP?

[trancefreak]

I dunno about xbox those gold card days are gone but the pc version That I have for my rig is MP

[baodeus]

oh i just check, it is the same MP demo i believe. Nothing new. I was thinking they gave us some SP demo or something.
