Just like with any new device that comes out it also comes with a wide variety of questions. One question people might be wondering about the Wii U game console is how to record Wii U gameplay in HD. In this step by step video tutorial DesertEagle814 shows you how to easily record gameplay from your Wii U in high definition.
After teasing content creators over the past week about an imminent announcement regarding their new product, it appears a leaked Best Buy ad may have already announced it for them!
That's cool I have the elgato HD it's awesome literally the easiest thing I have ever set up but I can't see YT having 60fps support for a while like for everyone I mean I know they are doing some promotional things in 60fps maybe I'm out of the loop and they already do it if so awesome
I use Elgato Game Capture HD for console streaming a lot and I love the device's features, but I stream games through OBS, which allows overlays. I never really liked the first Elgato's built-in Twitch streaming interface (it felt too sketchy and unreliable for me), so that leaves 1080p/60fps as the only selling point for me right now.
I'm gonna wait and see what the early reception is before deciding on this. Right now, there really isn't anything in this new device that the original Game Capture HD can't do (aside from 1080p/60fps and overlays outside of OBS, both of which don't really seem essential yet).
Avermedia's ExtremeCap U3 can already Capture/Record in 1080p60, and is already a bit cheaper than the price ElGato's solution is rumored to launch at.
The only problem with the Extremecap is it uses USB 3.0, which is very picky with what it works with.
I have to imagine the HD60 is going the same route as well, due to the bandwidth limitations of USB 2.
Is Elgato hinting at a new game capture device?
PlayMagazine writes: "We all know that the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are capable of capturing players’ finest gameplay moments, but why should players on other consoles feel left out? The Elgato Game Capture HD offers an elegant solution for let’s play fanatics and game capture connoisseurs alike for a great price."
I've been doing the streaming/recording thing a long time. This is not the best way to do this at all. Not to mention this exact same method will work with every console (even the PS3 with the right tools).
Also, if you're gonna be serious about this you gotta go with internal capture cards. They also let you stream.
I'm only saying this because I was expecting some ingenious way to capture the WiiU gamepad simultaneously meanwhile I've just been shown the most basic capture setup.
Do we really need a video for this?
Phase 1) Buy capture device
Phase 2) Install capture device
Phase 3) Use capture device
Shame on you if you thought i was going to say phase 3 is profit. although, i suppose if you have youtube ads enabled, you might make a few cents doing something every other gamer already does.
why not ..
