Valve to Add Video Recorder Functionality to Steam
Post by Steve Farrelly @ 04:00pm 23/03/11 | 15 Comments
Kotaku points out that Valve may be adding a bit more than the recently revealed SILK voice codec to their platform, with a Steam Forum Post citing Gabe Newell as mentioning the team are looking at video-recording for gamers to then record their own gameplay video and upload to the Steam Cloud service, much as you can do now with your own screenshots.

While Valve haven't officially confirmed this, there's added heat to the idea in that a number of companies are now poised to release their own video-recording devices for consoles for uploading to the likes of YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Twitter et al, such as the Roxio Game Capture System that was announced last week.

I can't imagine any such implementation being too big a deal to make happen on Steam, either, but stay tuned as we try and get confirmation on this from our pals at the Seattle-based studio. The forum link though, has a bit more info on iOS/Android mentions and an interview about TF2 for all the TF2 nerds out there :P

I'd just like a recorder like fraps that doesn't output 500gb files for 20 min of footage. I swear I had one that did fullscreen, 30+ fps recording and outputted to a xvid codec'ed file.

Now I have a few things to say about Portal 2. One is that you need to buy this game. Portal 2 is just mind-blowing, the story, the puzzles, everything is the best that Valve has ever made. Valve could sell this game at $100 a pop and I would still buy it, thats how good it is. And as for a demo, this game does not need one. Take it from me, Portal 2 GOTY 2011 no contest.



excellent

I think it's crazy this sort of platform implementation hasn't already been done with the net that is social networking practically screaming for it

Sounds like OnLive is doing well in the US. Well that's what came to mind first when I read this.

I used to use xfire to record end game killshots in mw2 until for some unknown reason steam + xfire stopped playing nicely together on my PC. Works well but I don't know how big the files are and I only ever used it to record a couple of minutes.

That's pretty useless in games like modern warfare 2 that don't have their own demo recording ability (that I can see).

Why would anyone buy such a crappy s***** game that doesn't have technology that's been in FPS games since Doom? O rite, it has 'call of duty' on the box!

^^ I guess because the first thing people care about is playing the game, not recording the game?

I do like the demo recording in Valve games though. Just records the actual game data instead of a video, so it's small and plays back at full resolution for you to capture later.

That's the same thing that old games like Quake did, right?

You can also add shortcuts to older games into steam and it will use the overlay in those games. Also, what car racing games do you know that have demo recording abilities? Not all games are FPS, though that may come as a shock so maybe I should spoiler this :p

Need for Speed (the original). Used to have fun randomly hex editing the demo file to see what on-road mayhem would ensue.
