Skies of Arcadia Dreamcast Footage P1 (HD)

Part one of two!

This is a not-so-short video of the very first segment of Skies of Arcadia, tested on my $5 capture card. I was kind of amazed, the quality came out pretty rockin'!

...the audio, unfortunately, I cannot say the same for.

It seems the further up I get into the spectrum towards modern day, the worse off the audio quality is! Fortunately, I THINK I have a solution for this. I'm likely going to be recording more games next weekend, using an elbow connector directly into my microphone jack rather than on the card itself. We'll see.

THIS VIDEO GLITCHED DURING THE BOSS FIGHT. IT MADE ME SAD. But on the bright side, you get to listen to the characters on the CD yell at you.

God, this game was epic in its day. The camera angles on the ship blew me away when I first played it. This is a real GD-Rom copy, too--not burned. You can tell because A.) There's no slowdown and B.) there's not a 1 second pause at the beginning of each battle/special move.

@TheSasku80 Burn it illegally. Fuck it...

[bahamut2k456]

@dmaskell92 If only that worked as well as you think it will.

Skies was a very big game, it filled out both GD-Roms. The only versions you will be able to find use a streamlined decompressor for special attacks and the like, so it really hurts the play experience. There's a noticeable pause before every action in-battle.

@TheSasku80 You can download it for free, put it on a cdr and play it straight from the dreamcast... but, it's illegal lol. I did it bc I already own the game, and my cd is extra scratched up :/ but I doubt you're really contributing to the company by buying someone's used copy, so it really hurts noone if you just download it. It's not like it's in production.
