Hello again Funky Kit readers! Today I am reviewing a product that I have not messed around with to much. Back in my younger days, the only way to watch someone play a game was to go to their house. The Internet at this time was just starting to turn the corner. As the Internet grew, so did our online gaming experience. People started to post online video guides on sites such as You Tube. The best way to learn how to play a game or get past a level was watching someone doing it. While all this was going on, our society had also switched gears on what we all enjoyed watching. Reality TV had become more prevalent! In essence, that is what a game capture does; brings a gamer to an audience who enjoys watching real life action.
The GC2000 from Diamond Multimedia does just that and more! If you are interested in capturing or streaming your gameplay, this might be the game capture for you! With the GC2000, you are able to revolutionize your gaming experience by capturing and recording your gameplay from all the major consoles such as Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and even the Wii U. The GC2000 comes in three modes which are PC mode, standalone mode, and streaming mode. With PC mode you are able to capture and stream live straight to you PC or laptop. Standalone mode allows you to capture you gameplay with an SD card, while streaming mode allows you to use an Ethernet cord to stream you gameplay to audiences across the world using sites such as Twitch. The GC2000 also allows for voice over commentary during all modes! With only using my video card for such adventures, I am definitely excited to test this baby out!
