Rumor: Universal video recording feature coming to Xbox 360

It
seems as if a developer has let slip that universal game recording is
officially coming to the Xbox 360 courtesy of Microsoft. By universal
video recording we're referring to the type of recording stuff you see
in Halo 3.

In a meeting last week with a game developer at the Tokyo
Game Show, I asked them if they were planning on trying to incorporate
in-game video capture into their title. The type you see in Halo 3.

The answer was interesting and, I believe, accidental.

"We'd love to have video capture in our game, but why work on something
that the platform holder is already developing," said the developer,
who I'm keeping anonymous to cover for his accidental slip-up.

The idea of a universal, platform-level video capture system for games
seems like a good idea, and one that fits in nicely with the plans that
Microsoft has for the Xbox 360.

When I had a chance to sit down with Microsoft's Scott Austin, director of digital games at Live, I asked him about the concept.
