How many polygons per second would resident evil 4 on ps2 run at.
Is there a way to record gameplay -like recording a ordinary programme on videotape vhs-pal?
thank you

Answer
Since you've asked several questions, I'll answer them in order:
1. http://faqs.ign.com/articles/368/368964p1.html
This is the only Doom walkthrough you will ever need. =) It tells you about all the hidden levels and such.
2. Around 5000
3. Many VRCs will record anything at all that is on the television screen. In the past, I would run my console through the VCR and then tape it with that as the input from the console is being routed through the VCR to the television. That is the easiest way. However, some people who are unable to do this for whatever reason also hook up video cameras and point them at the screen (it also makes the format a LOT easier to port as many modern cameras use firewire to download the footage directly to a computer) as they play.

Let me know if I can help you with anything else.

Thanks!
Helen =)

Expertise

Ever since I played "Pong" in the early 80's, I've been a video game aficionado. I can answer hardware & games questions about PSP (PlayStation Portable), all PlayStation (1,2,& 3), Wii, Wii Fit, GameCube, Nintendo DS, Nintendo (NES), Super Nintendo, Gameboy/Gameboy Advance, and antiquated systems (ColecoVision, Atari, Sega, etc). I can answer hardware questions about all systems (including PS1 - PS3, Wii, NES, SNES, PSP, DS, GBA, GB, Xbox and Xbox 360). I can also answer PC game questions, especially CounterStrike: Source, Vampire: Bloodlines, Half-Life 1&2, Portal, Team Fortress 2, and all Sims & Sims 2 questions. I am ESPECIALLY knowledgeable in Square-Enix (formerly SquareSoft) games such as ALL the Final Fantasy games (I can even tell you really obscure things about these games). If I haven't played the game yet I will research it and help you find the answer, renting the game if necessary. I can even answer questions dealing with the consoles themselves (hardware questions). I cannot answer questions about Action Replay. I cannot answer questions about football, basketball, or wrestling sports games. I also have very limited knowledge about Xbox & Xbox 360 games unless they are cross-platform. If it is an independent game that has not been widely published and/or a game only released in some countries, I may not be able to help with it either (sadly!)

Experience

I currently am employed as a supervisor for a large, national video game retailer. I am also an expert here in games/roleplaying games, weddings, childbirth, and doulas. My husband is a computer programmer and one of the forefront coders for CounterStrike: Source scripts & mods. He has his own forums for coders/scripters at Mattie.Info. I have been an expert here since 2000 (under the name of Helen Chipman) and also volunteer on numerous other game-related websites and forums.
