Games are as much for achievers as for luck. At times, you may find yourself poor or missing out on best guns or perks that a game might offer and you could play substandard. But there are times when your gaming skills surpass even your expectations and you would wonder if you could record your game play to show off to your friends, peers, competitors or fellow game plans. Unlike a screen recorder, game recording is a different world all together.
Here are a few points all good game recorders need to have:
- Recording in a different resolution, so that the picture is clearer and lag free.
- Launching of the game recorder should be in a single click once all the settings are configured.
- Game recorder should launch the moment game starts so there is no loss and shut off automatically once the player logs out of the game.
- Recording of video and audio should be possible together, so in case of missing out of live stream your viewers should be able to watch the recorded game play.
- Overlay of webcam, adding audio through mic. So though the game with its own sound effects and graphics is being recorded, gamers would like to put their face on the gaming video. All they need to connect a mic and a webcam.
- Separate audio file to fix goof ups during commentary while playing the game. Gamers need to play extra attention during challenging gameplay, it is during this time, there could be periods of quiet or exultations which should be avoided and the commentary should be smooth. With a separate audio file it is possible to correct mistakes while audio recordings.
- Game recorder should work the best on any gaming processor whether it is Nvidia, Intel or any other, also recording in 4K resolution up to 120 FPS.
- Want to capture iconic moments or game statistics, easy one click screen capture or photo could help you keep save stats or simply create profile pictures or channel profile pictures. High quality video shots are preferred.
- Convert and edit footage into formats like MP4 which are easier to share.
Best game recorders have unique qualities that are not similar to screen record features.
