Forum:Screenshots

Hi, I have a question I hope someone here can answer. I am currently putting together a walkthrough for Fallout 3 for a friend of mine with no internet access. We both have the X360 version of the game and what I was wondering was if there is a way to take screenshots of gameplay and transfer them onto my system?

I know in game such as Halo 3 you can go so far as to save video clips, though I am not certain if that is just online play having not done it myself. Any help in this matter would be more appreciated! And who knows, if the walkthrough is really good it could always be uploaded to this site ;) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.92.171.162 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~ !


 * No you can not take screenshots on the 360 or PS3, only on the computer. --Saphireking65 23:05, November 12, 2010 (UTC)

Start looking at Capture Cards for the Xbox 360 (quick google search). There should be something that'll help you out. --Viper720666 01:47, November 24, 2010 (UTC)

Now, I have a question someone may be able to help with. I can not take screenshots on my PC. I push the print screen key, and the game freezes for a second, but no conformation message pops up. I have set "bAllowScreenShot=1" in my preferences, and still nothing. --Saphireking65 23:05, November 12, 2010 (UTC)

When you hit the print screen button, you will need to open up Word or any document editor you have. Then just paste the image and you will be good to go. I have not done this with any games before, but this should work. Matthew 14:50, November 19, 2010 (UTC)

An easier method of doing this is downloading FRAPS. FRAPS allows you to assign a specific key to record screenshots and videos in-game. This'll make your life easier as you don't need to back out to save each individual screenshot- it saves them to a folder automatically for you. Plus, it records videos. It'll show your frame rate (which is how you know it's working for the game) either at startup or once you enter the game. I've used this program a lot for many computer games and haven't had one problem. I'm sure you'll find great use in it. --Viper720666 01:47, November 24, 2010 (UTC)
