Video capture coming to Xbox Live?
Written on October 3, 2009 by Matt
An interesting little report on Kotaku recently about across-the-board video capture for Xbox games.
While chatting with a developer at the Tokyo Games Show, the roeporter brought up a question about implementing video capture, much like the kind already implemented into Halo 3: ODST. The developer’s reply?:
We’d love to have video capture in our game, but why work on something that the platform holder is already developing?
The developer in question has been kept anonymous, just in case they really have let a secret slip, but I can’t say how much I’d love it if this were true. I’ve made several unsuccessful attempts to get a good video capture method for gaming, if only to get original review screenshots, and the best I’ve been able to do was get screenshots from an SD video. I was delighted with how simple ODST made the whole thing, and if Microsoft could get this set up for every game, I’d almost be willing to forgive them for my first RRoD.
Just the first one, I’m not going nuts here.
Check out the report and Microsoft’s “maybe/maybe not” response over at Kotaku.
