Also seems like HDCP stripping is a non-issue at this point for this PS4 launch stream which is nice. Someone should tweet Vinny or Drew about going a bit deeper with their encoding settings though. A few tweaks can do wonders for size and quality. 2-pass doesn't even add that much of a hit to time if you have a good enough CPU since it's not actually encoding anything, just analysing stuff.

Man, Resogun looks really awesome. This is the kind of game that you don't really get on PCs I feel like.
Really? Smaller games like that have been arguably the PCs biggest strength over the last 4 years.
2pass encoding on my setup would usually add 60-80% more time in the encoding process. I still do it, but it's not "free". However, most of that time is wasted on deinterlacing. On progressive material, everything is easier.
Also, Giantbomb stuff is all uploaded offsite for encoding, which makes sense when you take into consideration that they need at least 3 different encodes of the same content (low, medium and high quality). I don't know how much access to settings other than bitrate hey have, specially since it's probably all hardware encoders.
Either way, Vinny has been preaching "bigger bitrate, still 720p" for a while on every place he's asked: Podcast, his Tumblr and live streams. And I agree with him.

You're going to have to expand on this.
I'd love for them to host 1080/60 high bitrate videos offsite. Throw it up on mega.co.nz like digital foundry did for those interested, and no bandwidth cost.
I don't think it's even about the size. Having the hardware to edit 1080p60 video is a pain in the ass. Most of their capture gear is 720p60 (and probably 1080p30) and 1080p60 capture gear is usually aimed at sports-related TV material. In other words, shit's expensive.
720p with a bigger bitrate is a good compromise for now.
I wouldn't assume anything.. The devs could have lent them hardware for this vid.
Yea, it was confirmed to be an old build of Resogun.
You are a screencap.
Was the screencap invented or discovered?

Add to that the Kongregate flash shmups, numerous Japanese indie shmups, the 10+ "particle shmups" I've played somewhere and didn't remember off the top of my head to link above... and yeah. You're definitely set with this particular sub-genre on the PC.

I just want a new Geometry Wars.
Yeesh! Just let the guy enjoy his enjoyment of Resogun
He can enjoy it as much as he wants, just don't say there's no game of that kind on PC because you'll be almost always wrong. It may not be the same game and it may not be as good, but chances are pretty high that there's a PC game in the veins of whatever game you're thinking.
Hell, there's even a Windjammers analogue to PC. Crazy Power Disc Perfect sucks, but it exists..

If anything, having more games like it to play should make him happier, no?Yeesh! Just let the guy enjoy his enjoyment of Resogun
And because I think it's hilarious - in the span between my first post a couple hours ago and this one, I stumbled upon three more particle shmups in the same vein (without explicitly looking for any, I swear). :lol

Came across these while reading an article about the newly released Humble Store.
edit: and because I feel bad about initially forgetting it, there's also Orbitron: Revolution, made by GAFers.

I got the eXceed collection for a few bucks and I really liked them. I'm in the process of 1-CC the third one but god it's hard.

Livestream starts at about 11am Pacific on Friday.
I have a feeling twitch will be completely dead for at least the next few weeks. They're going to get hit hard.

It already sucks for the most part, I have no clue how they'll do anything but utterly collapse.

Twitch will disable the PS4/XBO apps once they realize that neither console runs LoL.

Is there a know time yet for launch stream special?
It's going to suck for people who pretty much make a living off of streaming.

Finally nearing the end of the Extra Life videos and goddamn this was some sweet action!
Giant Bomb is the best website about video games.
Also, time for me to watch this again.
I really miss that office.

Hm, I guess you're right.
Oh man, I hadn't thought of that. Twitch is already a mess for me (last weekend during WePlay finals, I was not able to watch at a higher quality than Medium and even then it lagged from time to time).
Uh, shit. Twitch streaming is bad enough at the moment (can't even view streams on 'Source'), hoping GB simulcast on Youtube or something.

Their "upcoming" tab has an interview with Yoshida.
NICE
Plus a Ps4 unboxing which could be hilarious (the Wii mini one gave that look brad did when he found out they removed component)

Especially when other countries get the consoles too as Twitch hates having European servers so neglect the shit out of them.

Would have been Day One Xbone for me if they had made it..
Boggles my mind that they didn't.
The hysteria over this PS4 review event is ridiculous.

I wonder why Sony couldn't have had reps hand out PS4s in San Francisco this week and had the event two weeks ago like Jeff said.

They probably could, if they really wanted to. They clearly did not really want to.
