Who thinks this is a good idea?

[Night]

Should we make a montage of like gameplay with the controller? Advertising viking360 it would be pretty cool. we could have a competion of who makes the best montage and this could be as "proof" on the site. Whose up for it? I am getting my controller by tuesday. I HOPE

where can i get a cap card?

 

[obo]

ehh, ebay is one place to get one. I personally dont have one, but i would check ebay to start

 

[theblur1]

future shop or best buy sometimes have them.
alot of electronic stores sell them

What is a capture card? Is it X-box only? How much is one?

 

[theblur1]

you can get ones that you just have to plug into your tv and then into your computer and you can record the tv screen so it saves on your computer and then its just editing from there. i dont have one myself but i have a few friends that do and have seen their setups.
and you can get a below average one for like 50-75 bucks. good ones cost even 100+ so its up to you. look around and read reviews

some guy on youtube had a dazzle dvd recorder which worked as a capture card, its up to you though

So it can record anything? Sounds handy -> record satelite movies.

theres better ways i know, but its just an idea that i saw

I might look into geting one of these. They look like they could be very handy. It would be fun to just tape all your online daily, and then take the best parts and make a montage.

 

[theblur1]

^exactly.
haha ive heard so many stories of people recording all day and playing brutal and getting absolutley no clips. and then theyll turn off their cap card and get some of the most disgusting plays. thats the frustrating thing about it

 

[obo]

Thats why i love halo's theatre mode

 

[theblur1]

^exactly.
if only cod had that... :/

 

[PS3andCOD]

What is "theatre mode"? To be honnest, I've never even played Halo.

 

[theblur1]

^ basically in theater mode you can watch recent games of your own and other peoples games.
theres alot of great featues to.. you can record clips and save them, you can go into free mode where you can fly anywhere and watch from different angles, you can also capture screenshots.
with saved clips, games or screenshots you can save them in your 'file share' which anyone can go in and download the files and watch or look at them.
Its a great feature because i dont have a cap card so i can save any nice clips i get there and other people could download them and capture them for me !

 

[PS3andCOD]

Oh, I get it. That does sound like a nice feature.

 

[obo]

its super nice when your in a game and somebody is like randomly in a tree and your like
"wtf?"
then you go into theatre mode and watch them get there, so now you can do it

 

[PS3andCOD]

Nice. I'm thinking about geting one of these http://www.amazon.com/EasyCap-DC60-Capt ... 995&sr=8-7 I can use it for games and for the satelite. I do wish that COD had this theatre mode though... Sounds even better than just capturing it.
