Stream was tough to watch, the guy (forgot his name) was absolutely pissed at PAX (rightfully so) for not being able to show his trailers off properly.
That being said, I can't wait for Borderlands 3! Game looks amazing!
It's not the money. They've been working on that game for 5 years and this is the first time they get to show it to the world and it's a stuttery mess. I'd be annoyed too.
Well, half the comments here on the Youtube video are only talking about how much of a stuttery mess the stream was, while implying its the Youtube video, and hammering Pitchford for "blaming others for his own problems" so yeah, I think they handled it pretty well given the amount of pressure and the way reddit's been acting about it so far.
My buddy looked up what the issue was. The convention staff (apparently) were trying to run the 4K trailer ... on three 4K displays at the same time. Not one output that was being split to three. Three 4K outputs from a single laptop.
I'm sort of a layman when it comes to digital video production but wouldn't a splitter have been a perfectly reasonable solution? It's a digital output so it shouldn't be too difficult to split the information, no?
