Alpha 2 Live Streams/Videos/Recording Discussion Thread

**Cayenne** · Jan 25, 2012, 07:33 AM

This is your always up-to-date center for all known links for the Alpha 2 live streams, videos and discussions on recording/saving/formatting/posting in-game footage.

Alpha 2 is over!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few words about this thread:

Any recorded video links or live streams posted in this thread will be linked into the first post.
If the link is dead, please PM me and I will remove it from the list.
Please stay on topic and try to keep arguments to a minimum.
Do not discuss how to illegally obtain software in this thread.
If you post any videos/images or do a live stream, please follow the SEGA Guidelines (See Below)
Do not discuss how to obtain or share an Alpha 2 account.
If you post links, please categorize them i.e. Ranger Footage, Grinding/Shops, Using Techs, Player Rooms, Boss Fight, Barehanded Fighting, etc.

The SEGA guidelines to legally post your videos/images:

Spoiler!

Video Guidelines:

In your videos please add （C）SEGA for more than 2 seconds at the beginning and end of your video.
In addition you can add a notice like, “The following video contains footage of “Phantasy Star Online 2 2nd Alpha Test”, since this game is currently under development, the contents may not reflect the final version. Additionally, such contents may be improved upon in the future. Phantasy Star Online 2 Official Site http://pso2.jp”
I would recommend using this description so SEGA can understand it, giving you better odds of not having your video removed:
『PHANTASY STAR ONLINE 2』α2テストにおいて撮影された実機動画です。
開発中のため、正式版とは異なる内容であり、今後改良される可能性があります。」

『PHANTASY STAR ONLINE 2』公式サイト
http://pso2.jp/
You are prohibited from altering your PSO2 Alpha Test 2 footage where you use other videos and music or change the playback speed.
However you may modify the footage to obscure your player names and ID and append the notice as previously mentioned.
If you are live streaming, it is recommended you get consent from other players featured in that footage before you start streaming.

Image Guidelines:

You must write （C）SEGA in all of your screenshots that you release to the public.
In addition if you are posting images on a site, please write something like, “These screenshots are from “Phantasy Star Online 2 Alpha Test 2″, since this game is currently under development, the contents may not reflect the final version. Additionally, such contents may be improved upon in the future. Phantasy Star Online 2 Official Site http://pso2.jp”
You can crop and resize your images, as well as photo manipulate them to censor the names of your character and player ID names.
If you use the in-game screenshot feature it will automatically append Sega’s copyright text for you. In fact, please use the in-game screenshot feature because there is a function that lets you remove your name/id and interface from your screenshots.

Other:

When other player character names, player ID names, and chat logs are displayed in your screenshot/movie, you can either obscure them before you show it to the public or get the other player’s permission.

For those that use Bandicam, I made a custom SEGA watermark to put into your videos:

Wonder how that would apply to streams.

To stream or not to stream....

**Cayenne** · Jan 25, 2012, 07:43 AM

I had that in my head but forgot while i was making this thread, thanks.

**Menochi** · Jan 25, 2012, 07:57 AM

Even streamed videos that have permanent residence online? (Meaning replayable at anyone's convenience).

**Cayenne** · Jan 25, 2012, 08:04 AM

If it's a stream where you can replay it and some where permanent then that's a different thing and those i can post but the thing on live streams are they can start and end at anytime, it's not in the viewer's control.

I'm not gonna post links and have people click them to find out it's no longer streaming.

**Fayorei** · Jan 25, 2012, 08:07 AM

Thanks for the info!

In two days this thread will be my main entertainment for the weekend, unless my friends kidnap me of course xD

Previous streams for those who want to watch after the fact will show up below the current video.

Current test clip - A little stuttering present due to running this while my PC was still booting back up after a power surge from the tornado. Will be removing the mouse overlay -

Not really knocking you guys but... we're not really even attempting to keep this on the DL with all these threads, are we?

All a SEGA employee would have to do is look at this board and find a foreigner blacklist goldmine.

**Cayenne** · Jan 25, 2012, 08:27 AM

That won't stop me from posting legally recorded videos plus SEGA is being loose this time around, I wouldn't worry about blacklisting.
