[Lets Play MGS4 LIVE!] NOW!

edited June 2008 in Games and Technology
Ok so a bunch of people I know don't have PS3's and want to see Metal Gear Solid 4 and I realize the same is with G&T.

So Ive developed this idea, I'm going to play through MGS4 and using justin.tv I'm going to play through MGS4 live over the course of the next few days.

So I'm going to start tomorrow at about 10 am eastern.

The link to the stream is http://www.justin.tv/bloodyroarxx

I will be taking questions and what not for the people who want to see specific things. I figure this is the easiest way for people to see it without dropping a boatload of cash on it.

    This guy just finished Act 4 today, and has videos up of his playthrough of both Act 1 and Act 2, in case anyone is particularly impatient.

    I'm curious how you do these "let's play" things? What software is involved in streaming the video and getting it online?

    Just using my webcam and letting justin.tv do the rest.

    Dang, I was planning to go job hunting to tomorrow or else I'd be all over this :P

    Sounds like a great idea, Are you gonna be recording it as you go? I'd love to watch the bits I miss and eventually catch up on your progress on a live steam.

    It's a shame they're not in a coherent order.

    Intriguing. I won't be able to see the live feed but I believe I will watch it after you have recorded it.

    This is a stupid idea.

    Virgin LPs are usually horrendous and live LPs tend to be pretty bad.

    Combine the two and I'm sure what comes out will be the most amazing LP anyone has ever seen.

    Oh no, I got called an asshole by a guy with more than one X in his name and that's doing an LP by pointing his webcam at his TV.

    I agree that virgin LPs are a bad idea, but only if it's a virgin LP you're trying to make it funny. I'm assuming Bloody Roar will be letting the game speak for itself.

    Exactly, like the OP states there are alot of people who cannot afford to jump into a ps3 for one game. Therefore I am letting them see the game, and have impact on things they may want to see.

    You're pointing your webcam at your TV.

    That's like sub YouTube standards here and they routinely point camcorders at their TVs.

    You can afford a PS3 and MGS4 but not a $30 Gamebridge? Okay, whatever, you're the hentai guy with poor social skills so what do I know?

    Uh, don't do it. That's as constructive as one can get without saying "Don't point your webcam at your TV and stream on a low quality stream", "Don't LP a game the day it comes out", and "Don't LP a game before you play it once". And you don't seem like you want to take that advice.

    Jeez, let the guy do whatever he wants, if it turns out like crap it'll be crap, if it's mildly entertaining or fun then it'll be that. No need for name calling.

    Besides, exactly how is this going to affect anything for anybody if it does turn out bad? If you don't like it, don't watch, and don't click on the thread. How is that so hard for some people to process.

    At least since GTA4, it's not terribly uncommon to see these sorts of feeds of gameplay...I don't see the issue.

    They don't exist.

    Well, unless you're lucky and can find someone to answer your want ad for one for under $30. But on Ebay or Google or otherwise, then no.

    Bummer. Can anyone vouch for those cheap alternatives on DealExtreme? Here's a link:

    http://www.dealextreme.com/search.dx/search.usb%20capture

    Surely there's something better than those at a decent price. I might as well tell my friend to get a PVR-150 at the rates the secondhand Gamebridges are going for...

    I think no one was watching probably because you started it in the morning on a weekday. You might get more people watching if you started it up at night when more people are home, but now that you've already started the game and they've missed a few hours, I don't know.

    Yeah weekdays don't lend themselves well to live events.

    You should just record it and put it up on google video or what not as a traditional lets play. I'd watch every single video.
    because i dont have mgs4.. :(
