Overall progress : <10%


Episode 1 : L.A. Meltdown (Restarting)

-First testing run : Restarting...

-Enhanced run : N/A.

-Recorded run : N/A.

Episodes 2, 3 and 4 are coming after 1 is completed.

-Recorder : Dxtory. This needs me to set it up for the new hardware, witch is not very fun. I also need a License key (done).



Description (WiP) :

Duke Nukem is an FPS (mainly) Developed by 3D Realms and published by GT Interactive Software. I first played this game on PlayStation (1) in ... French (Jerky and soft translations AND acting). This game is quite a lot fun to do on higher difficulty, but, for the longplay pace I'll stick to middle one. There aren't too many aliens to fight and bosses are a bit weaker.

Episode 1 is fairly easy to do in one sitting run (1 hour and 30 minutes, a standard football match duration.), pretty straight forward the most time except the last level which use a bit of backtracking. The first 2 levels and the secret one can be done under 15 minutes each, from level 3 you are likely to do 20 - 30 minutes while knowing the levels well. The end boss is fairly easy to beat if you're strafing enough. In this game, like all FPS you don't want to stand in front of your enemy.

I think I'll do a multi-part longplay from Episode 2. This will require some internal testings (How to do the longplay as smooth as possible and such things, I will use save, obviously).

(Episode 2 will be started when Episode 1 is recorded)


ToDo :

- Finish up and publish the demo video
- Fix once and for all that storage issue (done !)
- Get a better computer (Done ! Laptop with 2 Graphics card working at once, good storage and way better CPU)

Next update : Whenever there are news to say.

i'm really interested in seeing the gran turismo 2 longplay. after that maybe you can record the other gran turismo games on ps2 :)

I'm nearly finished the first run :)

Update : Skipped the first run. I've found my cars for almost all tracks. I will finalize end game tests on the fly.

Added "Pok?mon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team (GBA)" and "Strategy games" on future projects

Why are you recording ps1 games with fraps? There is a ps1 emulator that has rerecording + savestates, so you don't have to edit manually anything.

As for PC games, i recommend dxtory, using lagarith codec to record. It makes less lag than fraps and has more features.

If you have any questions, go to the irc chat. There are people there that can help you with these things.

Thanks a lot I'm taking notes :) I will look at TASVideos for emulators.

I will check for dxtory too. Come back later to tell what.

Added new general notice to the OP.

Please read before posting.

Finally found a job ! I will be able to resupply myself HDDs (or SSD) and HD-PVR.

Gran Turismo 2.... Oops.

I will working on GT 2 When I have some rest Found a new job recently That would fix up pretty every issues I currently have

I'll keep you up to date

Next update : 15th June.

That's not what I meant. I too am doing GT2... arcade mode... then again are you using the arcade machine or ps1 because I'm doing the ps1 version.

Ok :) If you doing it then you can doing it :) .

Please confirm so that I can modify the OP ;)

Confirm.

Ok, so I update the OP :)

I shall buy my new HDD soon. I've already chosen the one I want. I now have to schedule my money.
Stay tuned for more updates :)

Here it is. My new SSD is here. My current project will start very soon !

How's the setup going ffx?

No HDD sounds and, I hope, Recording is better.

Cannot try recording now. Do not have enough time :/

Finally finished Episode one. This shouldn't take more than a hour and 30 minutes.

I've done 30 minutes in one sitting play-through (speed-runny), with half the secrets. Add another 30 minutes for a watchable longplay and, maybe 15-30 minutes more for all secrets.

The next thing is to enhance the whole run. I want to give you the smallest duration with the most fun possible.

See the OP for further informations.

OK folks , my Demo Video is ready to encode. I found the best settings between quality/size. I will encode this evening and (probably) upload to Youtube tomorrow.

A question though : Should I do anything else for the admin here to validate it or what ? I want to see if the future video (that will be encoded in the same process) would be OK. I've followed most guides on support section, Talked with some of you on IRC (Who advise me to do the classic game first).

If I really have to do classic first, I'll do another demo video.

Thanks for reading this crap with a huge amount of English mistakes ;)
