Uncharted 1 2 and 3 all have this feature. Skate 1-2 also. Blackops, Uncharted's is insane, you can freeze time, fly around, slow motion, etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfwvD-tYzIs (bout 2 minutes in he edits)

never played them but cool.

ran out of room
Since people ounted out my error (though it isn't like I hated the idea anyone, and infact repeatedly said this) It is a good idea. I will also like to state. I've never posted on here to a jerk on purpose, I'm actually a nice friendly person. Just i'm a bit sensitive. I do have a learning disability and do have issues in both grammar and in typing in general. I do try not to soundlike i'm better then anyone, nor do i assume such things. I do not claim to know everything. I've said this meany times. If you misunderstand something i write, or I make an error, poilitly correct it. There is no need to humilate a person over such things. There is no need to act like a jerk to someone over the internet. I got a bad temper due to frustrations when ppl misread what I say, and assume the worst.
I met quit a few of you ingame, and haven't I've been friendly and pleasent? I do lake a few social skills but I try to be nice. Want i ask is to be able to start fresh. I'm not the troll you think I am.

This is a terrible idea, imo. An in game recorder would be worse than fraps, and it's completely unneeded and wasted development time. If you can't record with fraps, what makes you think you can record without it? Recording live *anything* on your PC is a resource hog, and fraps is the best program out there for it on a PC. If you want to record your game play, buy fraps and learn how to use it, pirated copies are usually not good alternatives. It's well worth the $.

You could just use Xfire. >_>

FRAPS is a resource hog because it records in video format. An in game recorder would just record the bare minimum graphical data to reproduce the scene and thereby alleviate alot of stress on people's computers.

FRAPS is not a resource hog. Recording requires high write speeds on the hard drive. Most of the slowing down people experience when recording with fraps or any other program is likely because they are running everyone off of 1 hard drive. I'm not really sure I understand what you're saying, but if I understand it right, if the game did do what you're saying, it would be recording into a relatively useless (non avi) proprietary format (similar to replay files for games like SC2). I'm not really sure that kind of thing is what the posters of this thread envision.

A recording program like fraps (or one of the half million lesser alternatives) is the only way to record high quality raw video data for use on the web.

Lineage 2 has had an imbeded video recorder for some time now. The recorded footage can be viewed from the login screen and you can actually move your character around in the recording itself to get different views.
