Next-Gen Consoles Rumors & Related NEWS


Recommended Posts

Nice, its about fking time. PS3 did get universal screenshot and record/upload movies to youtube feature, but it was too taxing on RAM so they left it for developers to decide. I suppose RAM won't be an issue next gen, and Vita already does OS level screenshots.

Its more than the screenshots and in-game videos, its like the recording function STBs have.

IMO the in-game video part is harder than STB part, given how much resources FRAPS eats on PC while recording. PS3 is already used as dedicated DVR in UK with a tiny external accessory called PlayTV.

Yes, they could be equally taxing.

But in case videos are recorded using the game-engine, similar to Quake3 Demo recording feature, it would be much easier.

So create the demo locally, then upload the file to a server where they are processed and converted into videos and hosted.

 

Yeah, I read that. The thing is, in India, when was the last time you watched TV/shows on your console via some service provider? :P

Not all console features are designed for India, neither would anyone stop themselves from doing something because they cannot cover a specific region.

Right now, 360 has many features which are only for US, market which matters most for them.

I never denied any of this :P

I'm just seeing things from an Indian perspective.

How is this in-game recording different from the halo videos where you could record your exploits and share it on bungie.net ?

Its OS level recording, so you can record everything thats happening on screen, not just specific gameplay sections. And the video format is usually MPEG or WMV etc. Its basically a separate process running in background and capturing everything thats pushed to video/audio out from GPU.

Hmmm, then I would assume it would also come with a time limit ? Like past 20/30 mins etc ?
