Ladies, Gents,
I've been toying about with the idea of doing a LiveStream of VII for a while - I want to replay it prrior to the Remake anyway and thought I'd play about with it tonights.
My PC isn't anything Special, but I have decent supporting equipment - An Elgato Gaming Capture Device & Software, which I see I can Upload to Twitch on it!
So Far I'm testing out my PlayStation Classic, look I have VII physically so I don't think anyone can whine at me - But I am wondering if it would be better to just run it on a PS1 Emulator on my PC? What would be more demanding, using the Capture Card Device Streaming from an external Device or Running an Emulatore on my PC and recording that? (As I said, my PC specs aren't the best so saving on performance will help!)
I haven't hooked up my Mic tonight - can't be bothered to be fair but I have done it once before, so i know I can get that working, a Blue Yeti.
Here's a couple of Streams I tested, the 1st Video was in 480p, but on the Game Capture HD Software I bumped the Mbps up and it allowed 720p - Which I believe is the output of my PS Classic anyway:
Test 1 (480p):
Test 2 (720p):
I was just curious to see if the quality was acceptable for Streaming or not?
If i go ahead with this I'll probably do weekly streams from 7-10pm-ish on Wednesday Evenings UK Time, Nothing intense but just a few hours to chill and play.
Sidenote... Yes I COULD Stream FF7 off my PS4... but I can't stand borders and prefer the stretched image!
