Oh, I see what you are saying. I wonder how Skate tackles it though. I would imagine the code is what's being uploaded to EA and some back end system is doing all the rendering outside of teh 360 environment. Would be much easier that way. Code gets exported from 360 and loaded onto a much more powerful hardware platform running the game engine where it is then captured and uploaded automatically.

Nope, it's rendered by the game. It makes way more sense to do it this way - why dedicate servers when the client can do it itself. Also you can see it being done - when you save and upload the film it plays the film back in what appears to be slow motion as it captures individual frames, then it takes the result and encodes it and uploads it to EA's server.

The difference between Skate and Halo is that Skate has a certain time limit for saved films which keeps the size down.

If you guys want to upload videos easily from your file share use gamevee:

i would use it too if it weren't for my broken file share (thanks micrsoft)

Ah, the last bit coupled with a resolution reduction is the difference. Thanks for the knowledge, dude. You are smart.

How does this work? I just registered, but can't find how to submit a file from my file share.

Edit: found it.

No problem. I've implemented this solution before in 3D software I've worked on when we needed to get high resolution video (higher than a capture card supports) while retaining what appears to be a solid framerate.

It's the same trick some game companies use when creating trailers and they say the video is created "in-engine" (but fail to mention that it's not realtime).

Put the file you want in your file share. Then go to the link and fill out the info.

Well look at that. It worked.

The last guy I splatter is one of the pair from a few seconds before. Nailed him about one second after he respawned. :lol

GameVee is cool but it takes like a week or something like that for the video to get up on the site...this is the only one i did...

They seem to have gotten faster. My second video in one hour has gone up.

A week? I did wonder how they were grabbing the video's, guess someone is sat there playing and recording them all :lol

First time playing Halo 3? Give us your overall impressions of Campaign, MP, etc.

Have you played the H3 campaign at a friends house or something?

 

[Falagard]

Me too, took about an hour.

I wonder if they've developed an automated way of doing it. That'd be cool.

Nah, i used to have a 360 months ago, but sold it to buy a Wii. Worst mistake ive ever done in my (gaming) life. I did have Halo 3 and was pretty decent at MP, but after months and months of playing CoD4 on my PS3, it make take some time to get back into the groove i think :lol

 

[urk]

Nice. As long as Gamevee is up, I think can put my services on hold. If they crash and burn again, I think I can get something lined up.

 

[EazyB]

Naw, seems like they're pushin all the vids manually. I imagine there's a couple Urks on the other side of the computer, 360s at the ready, slaving away with their capture cards.

 

[NH Apache]

Just tried uploading a clip to gamevee, we'll see how it works.

On a side note, I'm leaving for my two day drive up north the day after tomorrow. Also, when I get there, I don't know where I will be able to hook up my 360.

So, looks like I will be out of gaming for 2-3 weeks. Ugh. This is going to be tough.

If you look close it's an elite with added long head, tail and little bits.

it looks like the monster from 'alien'

Correct but look again, or adjust your constast because there is an elite standing there.

so i'm guessing this is a special version of the elite in the game halo wars?

 

[t4ng0]

Larger version
I can pick out BRs and a Brute Shot in the tail, Hammers on his back, maybe more BRs for his neck?

Edit: This is done exclusively in Forge guys, Predator5719 according to HBO but I can't find his gamertag.

DOUBLE EDIT!: Tons more. Dark Knight, etc.

 

[EazyB]

It might be an new armor permutation in the upcoming Halo 3: Blue

 

[KevinRo]

forge? damn, i it sucks that i cant follow whats happening within halo anymore :/

Would you want your own special Elite armor perumation for Halo Blue, Eazy?

This GameVee thing is working out pretty well. I had to go frame-by-frame to see what happened in this one. One of my favorite recent WTF moments.

Alright, the bungie logo on bungie.net has a flash of something. Every once in a while, I think I see the SI. Am I losing it?

It just blinked for me, but I didn't catch what it was.

 

[NH Apache]

it was the si. I've seen it 3 times, about 25-45 seconds after loading my fileshare

edit: 60-70 seconds this time

edit2: and again. Nothing in the bungie forums that I see.

Editdunce: And, I'm lttp I guess

Maybe we should all post links to our GameVee videos in the Online thread? That should give the Online thread new life and not clutter this thread with videos.

Yeah... Its frustrates me even more than I can't get my 48 in LW back either.
