I’ve been playing around with a new gaming community video content hub/service called GameVee.com. Along with the ability for users to upload and share HD game video content, GameVee has a unique utility called “Grab.” Using a top secret voodoo propietary algorithm/solution, Grab automates the process of capturing video content from games and uploads it into a tidy Flash-based video player for you to share with everyone on the web.
Right now the service only works with game replays/clips on Halo 3 file shares, but it’s still pretty damn awesome. All you need to do is put in an Xbox Live gamertag along with the title of a video clip on the person’s file share and Grab will automagically capture, convert, and upload the clip. It does take a few hours to complete a Grab request, though, as it looks like a laborious process for the black box to download, play, capture, and convert a replay. It’s hard to find fault with the results though.
Making gameplay video capturing this easy is going to take social gaming to a new level. Games like Pixeljunk Eden already have the ability to capture gameplay video and upload directly into YouTube from within the game. I know I’m going to be sharing my awesome gaming exploits with people who don’t even own a game console. It’s only going to help generate interest and awareness for games and the games industry.
Indulge me after the jump as I share with you a video of me going 19-1 in a ranked doubles match recorded shortly after the release of Halo 3 last fall.
I really hope Reach is better than the last one. Either way, can’t wait to get my hands on it. Anyone else with me 🙂
