Theater Mode?

Can’t they just make that so there’s an overlay with the current players HUD on it?’

Tried it in etqw, but iirc the ammo/health count and such were off. Surely wouldn’t take much to get it working.

Did they say if “console” would be enabled with commands? didnt see it threw all the other clutter when I searched. ( pc ) of course. I hope the FOV is adjustable because it looks like **** along with the “bob” movement… quake / rtcw console with commands would be awesome. Game has a chance to have a future with a franchise since cs and cod are over. Making the game user friendly as possible would be a huge step in the right direction.

You can’t play the scene from the other players perspective with Fraps. That’s a huge part of why the theatre mode feature is so popular isn’t it? Plus, in demo’s you can do things like show skeleton through walls and better determine if someone is using a wallkhack or aimbot as he tracks guys through walls.

If Fraps is implemented, it certainly won’t be to replace demos, but work with them. Demo recording in ETQW did work, therefore will be the same or improved in Brink. The only reason I can see for including Fraps would be for capturing your chosen section of demo and dumping direct to .avi for editing with. This also peaks interest as the only reason you would go to the trouble of including fraps would be because there was decent demo control and slicing, or even camming tools and the ability to recapture a section of the demo ala black ops theater mode.

seems to be a console thing to me, there’s lots of options for PC

Consoles have hard disk recorders.

The first time I ever captured and edited a clip on my xbox after playing a splitscreen session with my friend from Halo Reach it was pure magic for me. I hope even if Brink doesn’t have theater mode that possibly the next one will. Even though theater mode for halo seems to add to loading times.

Yeah that won’t happen. In ETQW we also asked for better demo options.

Pity we can’t always get what we want eh?
