Bump + Huge support.

We do have logs, therefore we could have battlelogs, readable via out-of-game, game engine based rendering software, that allows us to operate camera, attach camera to different ships and so on, i believe whatever i say in here was already said multiple times, so yeah, CCP go for this.

WANT!!

A camera effect that shakes by the severity of the hit would be really cool.

also for making tournaments look amazing in post production, a TV show like Swamp People (who woulda thought doggone hillbillies killin gators'd be COOL? they could do the same with EVE)... and this

To take this idea one step further, and actually make Incarna useful for something, I would like to propose the following to add to your Battle Recorder:

- Be able to playback recordings on the CQ display screens
- Create one more room (a Corp/Alliance War Room) and allow for playback on the display in there

This allows you and your corp/alliance to look at an event, and establish what went right/wrong with it, and learn from it. And if multiple people have recordings, play them on up to three display screens (as that is what the CQ offers), so you can see the event from a couple of different angles.


great idea

I've not gone through every post so I'm not sure if it has been suggested.

The data recordings (the simple data showing ship positions, weapons/offensive module notifications) could maybe be downloaded allowing us to load it in to a "lite client". When loaded, it would allow us to play the "video" as if we were playing the game. It would not include things like shield/armour amounts of ships on field, damage notifications, local chat, people not on grid etc. It would just allow us to see the battle and control the camera thus allowing us to see from any perspective on grid.

This could be nice for watching recorded fleet battles or Aliance Tourney battles. One of the most annoying things I find about watching an AT match is the fact that you are forced to watch what the person making the vid is watching and they are often zoomed right in to a ship basically missing all of the action. Obviously you wouldn't be able to use this to watch the AT live, it would need to be recorded and then loaded up to be DL'ed and watched later.

We could also set up a database of these videos in a sub-forum. Instead of uploading a vid to youtube, you upload the data and people can watch it on their client instead. If theres a fight on the gate between a very good PVP'er and a small gate camp, you could set the camera over the gate and watch from above as the pirates blink out of existence one by one.

Interesting idea. The only thing I could point out about this is that even with the lack of shield/armor data, etc, you are still looking at a lot of visual data, especially displayed over time. We are probably talking about hundreds of gigabytes per video. Perhaps a "battle simulator", where you built a "grid" and then placed the different ships on it, sort of re enacting the things that happened on the field. However, an interactive "video" is not very likely... I do however like the concept.

This is something that has been discussed internally numerous times and it is pretty awesome. I do believe it's even on some backlog or other, but I don't know when or if it will be attacked.

I think you (CCP) can really see how much player driven content adds to the game. This could be amazing in that regard. This is my way of saying: I think it would be in your best interests to make this happen soonhorse.

Thanks guys, such awesome posts! In whatever final guise they bring it, I at the very least know that if CCP can bring it 'safely' to the client they will. (Safely implies secure from misuse, mostly.)

Even CCP staff have talked about it amongst themselves. I find that inspiring at the very least.
