just wondering if anyone else ever records parts of games that they really like a lot.
i have a friend that made a tape that's nothing but special intro's in fighting games (you know, depending on what characters are fighting).
personally, i love recording my favorite intro's and ending so i can watch them whenever i want.
so do you guys ever do anything like this? i'd imagine there's a lot of people out there that record their best combos in fighting games and what not.
Well, I record the CGI cut scenes from the games I play, if I like them. Since many companies dont care to release those CGI compilations, the only way to watch those without replaying is to record them on tape.
I wish more companies would follow Square example of releasing CGI compilations. They would be great.
i used to back int he day record game endings to watch again but i got lazy and lsot the tapes havent done it in 8 years or so
I've got tapes full of cut-scenes and endings.
My favorite is a glitch I found in Ico where he's stuck against a wall and tries to climb on it, but ends up humping it like a madman. At one point he gives these long, relaxed thrusts before going back to his rapid humping...cool game.
I have a friend who has a videotape of him playing the end of Dragon Warrior where he continuously says "No" when the King asks him to marry his daughter. That goes on for about twenty minutes.
Another friend of mine has a tape his younger brother made while playing Golgo 13 on the NES. For four hours. Just playing it, not doing very well, and starting over.
The horror... the horror...
I remember back in the day a friend of mine recording all the boss battles in the orginal Final Fantasy when he beat them.
Why is that a big deal you ask?
He used four white mages...
I have over 35 tapes that contain nothing but game footage. People used to call me weird because I recorded my videogames. I try to record a piece of every single game I have on VHS.
I have a tape of SNES Castlevania IV played from beginning to end. A tape of Treasure games. Tapes of Samurai Spirits, King of Fighters, various shooters, MD Sonic CD and Final Fight complete... no RPGs though, I don't have the patience to play through them, and I don't want to tape hours of dungeon wandering and talking to NPCs.
I have a similar tape some where of Quake 3 for Dreamcast. I cranked the gravity up to 99999999 or something, and when anyone jumped on a bounce pad, they would get stuck, but be moving up and down rapidly. I got a shot of Wrack and Hunter stuck on a bounce pad in which it looks like Wrack is giving it to Hunter from behind.Quote:

Heh.
The only time I record anything is if I etheir perfrom some really amazing combo like in THPS or something, or if I see some kind of wacky glitch.
You mean kind of like that GTA3 video you're making? *coughcough*Quote:

I've sent out IIDX tapes (if anyone wants one after 6th Style comes out...)
I'm also contemplating having footage of me play the game being recorded... some people have asked for that after I sent them the Auto Play reel.
I have a few choice maneuvers in Umihara Kawase saved. on the cartridge. which is a cool feature. but thats all.
I want to put some things on tape, but my VCRs AV input section is busted , or something. -_o
I've never done it myself, but I hvae friends who have done it. They've recorded numerous movies of game endings, such as all the Dragonforce endings, FF Tactics, and such. I record gameplay movies with emulators every once in awhile as an ego booster. Wish they would have recorded it when I finished Legend of Oasis, Shining the Holy Ark, and Panzer Dragoon Saga over the course of a week.
I try to document my one-credit clears in shmups whenever possible.
Heh, it's coming very soon!Quote:

Here's a sneak preview.
I know a guy that's working on recording himself beating every NES megaman boss with just the pea-shooter, without taking damage. He'd gotten pretty far, as I recall, but recently decided to take a bit of an extended break from it.
I'll get his list next time he's on.
One day (though not any time in the near future), I plan to make videos of myself playing all the way through FF4,6,7, and 10, then edit out all the random battles, so I can re-experience the stories without having to play through them.
You know what? I plan on taking all my VOOT replays and putting them on tape. You know why? I have nearly four VMUs full of nothing but VOOT replays. It'll be nice to use those VMUs for other things. :D
Alright, got the list.
These are the Robot Masters he has yet to record-
Megaman: Fireman
Megaman II: Quickman, Woodman
Megaman III: Hardman, Needleman, Shadowman
Megaman IV: Brightman
Megaman V: COMPLETE
Megaman VI: COMPLETE
Currently defeated: 39 out of 46
If anybody would be interested in seeing footage of any of the bosses not on the list, I'll ask him for you.
I always thought about taping the endings for the games I beat but never got around to it.
What would be a good idea and something I always wanted, if they released a video with the funniest video game commercials from around the world... that would be great :)
