TF2's "Replay Update" Adds Video Recording, Movie-Making Contest

[Awexsome]

Hope they can match the quality of Halo's theatre mode.

Took 'em long enough. But still, plenty of TF2 vids were made without it. Now there will just be more of them.

I mean, crap...Consoles have even managed this type of feature for quite a few games.

So, its like halo's theater mode?

Yes because every single idea and concept came from Halo.... i still remember the first game in the world Halo.... it was a revolutionary FPS in wich you played has a tottaly non-generic "Space Super-Soldier", to fight hoards of tottaly non-generic Aliens fighting the same Aliens trough every single game......

Dont know if i should laugh at you, or simply /facepalm.... i decided to do both...

Don't laugh or /facepalm.

Try being less of a dick, instead!

Halo 3 really introduced the concept to the masses, and basically did start this type of mode.

Acctually it came from a Mod for Half Life a couple of time before Halo time..... Bungie just grabbed a good idea and claimed has theyre own, and you all considered "if Bungie did it, then the idea was from them and only them"...

You're the one looking for any opportunity to bash Bungie and a Halo fanb you dick.

Besides show me an in-game theatre type mode that matches the quality and polish and accessibility of Halo's. There are none. Bungie's the best at it so far.

Lol what's so special about Bungie's theater mode? It's just recording demos and watching them.

I dunno. Ask youtube?

Again it's quality, polish, and accessibility. The accessibility has been the greatest ever out of any game when they released it. Any other form of it doesn't come close to it there. With TF2 I think I can put a yet behind that last sentence. Although knowing Valve and TF2 updates it'll probably take 3 or 4 patches until it isn't broken.

what a douchebag, using a game you don't like as a frame of reference. I'm with ya buddy! where does he get off, trying to compare a game element similar to another game element, the nerve...

OT: so yeah, it's pretty much theater mode. i can handle that.

The thing is... i realized the stupidity of what i saied right after i wrote it (mainly because i tend to read everything so fast and not getting half from what i read).... then i tryed to remove my stupid comment and failed at it and now i have to hear sarcastic retards like you.... so yeah....

we all type stupid things once in a while, it's cool.

Instead of arguing about Halo and innovation, you could watch my video made with the replay system.

Accidental Pyro flare into Flairshot.

*fanboy squeal at the mention of Touhou*

Ehrm. It's nice that it's implemented into the game. That means everyone has a chance of winning.

You stupid *****!

You killed him before he could interview the Medic & Pyro!

I BLAME YOU, MISS PAULING.

I BLAME YOU.

In the comic, she says he had done all of the Red Team, and asks if the Administrator wants him to do the Blu team as well. But Valve have pretty much confirmed that "Meet the Pyro" will never be released/made. I think it would be funny if they did one, and the Pyro kept his helmet on for the entire thing. That would be hilarious!

I think PES (or WE for international people) have done it earlier and better than Halo, also I think the FIFA series, (ohh all those magnificent goals)
and also if you want to talk about FPS COD has had that feature (/record) for a long time

CoD? Since when? Never played a FIFA game so can't speak on that, but I know Halo 3 came out well before the first Modern Warfare let alone Blops and that was the first time I ever saw a theatre-type mode in a CoD game. Even now though CoD's theatre isn't as good as Halo's. Blops's footage can lag severly from in-game to theatre and there are a lot of frustrating problems that I've run into like a much more inconvenient file-share, sound not rewinding with the film and other parts of the game severly de-syncing when trying to rewind or jump through a film...

Maybe there was some system on PC that did it that I don't know about but then it can't hold a candle to Halo's accessibility. The biggest strength to Halo's system that no one has yet to match.

DasBoSchitt has already made one of the funniest video's for this.
I think he is gonna win.

I think there have been a record feature on COD since COD 2 (console /record)
I didn't say COD one was more accessible, but it has already been done before on COD and boast the same features (if you know how to use it)
But I still prefer the system on PES or FIFA which has the same functionality and accessibility to Halo's theatre

I read the "Director" comic and three words popped in my head after viewing the last panel:

MEET. THE. MEDIC.

 

[GamingAwesome1]

So can I do this using the game demos I already recorded?

You can do this.

It's a bit fiddly from what I understand and not supported, so it might be buggy.

Hang on, let me dig out that How To thread for you...

Last thing I read about Meet The Pyro, their main idea was to to show it through the eyes of the pyro in first-person, a day in the life of the pyro, something like that.

OT: Would be nice if Valve update replay before 2 weeks so I can try and get a submission for the saxxy award, atm most servers ahve it disabled since it's DC, stutters and lags the servers >.<

Didn't seem much different to me. Yes, it works very well, but it's not like it's the top in what it does (recording and playing demos).
