Machinima

[BlazeKun]

I Admit it, I'm a machinima fan. Especially well made machinima. My one gripe about Machinima is that too much of it is translated into AVI/MPEG/MOV/Whatever instead of keeping it run in the actual game engine. I remember the great Quake 2 Machinima like father frags best and out late, I think that was the name. Anyways, I just wanted to get everyones opinion on the machinima in game/out of game.

I also want to add that HL2 Machinima should be great considering you don't even have to record a demo file. You just make the map and use scripting to make the virtual actors act out the scenes. Should be great! :E

Well I like the fact that I can play it with extreme resolution, and true to the game quality. Not much else to say really. I know most games can't do machinima in game very well, but it's awesome when they can.

What annoys me about out of game stuff is that it is the highest quality and then when the video ends its back to me shooting up the place at 640x480 with 16 bit colour and everything on low

Like it's teasing me.....

Excuse my ignorance. What the hell is machinima?

Gane engine cut scenes then.

Do You have to tag complex words onto something so simple it confuses me

Machinima? This still confuses me, how can you have a out of game one.

You just record it to mpg/avi/whatever

In game stuff is fun, i even made quite a lot of halflife "short stories" which were annoyingly lost when my harddrive broke. The out of game stuff though, generally seems to be put together better, as it can be edited a lot more easily.

What annoys me with the out-of-game stuff, is that the downloads can get quite large. And even though I'm on a 1mbit DSL line, it's a pain to download for example all the red vs blue episodes. But that's just me whining probably
