It's been filmed and ready to go up one I've added the voice over for the game section. This comming weekend I hope.
Retro Core SS Vol:3 is out now and again YouTube have fucked up the interlacing - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbnXa54nek0 Looks fine on my site's download mind you!
You should probably do the deinterlacing at your end mate, rather than relying on YouTube to actually do anything properly. Anyway, brilliant stuff, I do like sitting down and watching these with a mug of coffee.
I do de-interlace the game video sections but yeah, seems like I'll have to start deiterlacing the viodeo camera sections as well since YouTube makes a mess of it.
The camera sections do suffer from interlacing artefacts. Example: Admittedly YouTube's decoder is making a pig's ear of it, but their transcoder has to automatically try and make the best out of terrible videos as well as good ones so it's not surprising things go wrong sometimes. It's frustrating that YouTube won't give uploaders the exact specs their player wants and let us encode it ourselves, but hey, you can't argue with the price.
Very excited to watch this one - great game choice! I will check it out when I get home from drinking.
I think from the next show I'll fully deinterlace a version just for YouTube uploading and keep the crips interlaced version for my site.
Have you looked into deinterlacing it as it comes off the camera? That should result in the best image, depending on how you go about it.
Yes, I did that last time but it looses some of the sharpness. Actually the original file from the camera is 1080p which is down sampled to 480p to match up with the Saturn's game captured footage via the capture card. I think next time while converting from 1080p to 480p I'll also add deinterlacing. That should solve all the issues.
@ Yakumo. As a matter of curiosity is there any particular reason why the Tokyo Game Show 2005 Special isn't available for download? If this has been asked a thousand times before I apologise.
Yes, it's been asked a million times . Originally, Konami got a bit pissy over the PS3 Metal Gear solid footage I took with my ninja camera skills remember this was in 2005. The game didn't come out till 2008 did it? Anyway, archive.org had to remove it and my original DVD is dead. However I have a DVD image. i will upload that tomorrow.
Thanks for re uploading the Tokyo Game Show special Yakumo. I must have watched all the original Retro Core episodes over the years, but it would be great to be able to see the "lost" episode again.
Great episode. What a beautiful game. Definitely looks difficult (blast, I still never picked this up even though it's on the top of my Saturn list... -_- ), you died more than most Marios!
I love watching people play shooters because I'm so shit at them myself. I've tried them on every system I've ever owned and the only ones I seem to be half decent at are the ones I play in CoinOps on the Xbox and that's only cos I can tweak the dips :redface: Another great instalment by the way and looking forward to the TGS upload, thank you.
Here you go, the Tokyo Game Show Special from 2005 ! - http://www.segagagadomain-gamevids.com/retrocore2/RetroCore-TokyoGameShow2005.avi The file is a massive 795MB and broken! tinny resolution and lasts about 30 seconds. I'm going to take the original DVD-R to a specialist to have the data recovered for a very nice price. Fingers crossed.
Somehow, this submarine game reminds me of Operation Neptune, an educational PC game back from the day, and Metal Slug. Interesting stuff.
Well, there is a connection to metal slug. The guy behind the design of this game also did Metal Slug :nod:
Ha! Well, seeing how the submarine moves in water, and all the hazards from outside and whatnot, yeah, there is a huge similarity. And then there's the other game I was thinking of, but there seem to be no decent screenshots of that one anywhere. I played that one a lot in the seventh grade.
What? If it's 480p then it isn't interlaced. It doesn't need to be deinterlaced. Judging by the video, however, it looks like you converted it to 480i. Either that, or maybe you recorded it in 1080i instead of 1080p. That would explain the artifacts. They aren't all that noticeable, though. It was a good show. I loved to play In the Hunt in the arcade. Never beaten it, though. It would have been cool if they'd made a version that utilized the RAM cart. That's the only console port it got, isn't it? I hope you're safe over there. It's not looking good in many parts of the country.
