So I've been interested in doing Let's Plays for awhile now, but I don't know where to start. What kind of equipment do you need and are there affordable options? Are there any tips and tricks you'd be willing to share?
Thank you in advance!
- System to play games & games
- If it should also cover livestreams - high upload rate, consistent internet connection
- Capture Card for console projection on your PC/laptop
some cables are necessary depending on your overall equipment
- software to stream and/or record; Open Broadcaster software is recommended: https://obsproject.com/
- a specific cable that you might need for consoles like PS3 to connect to your capture card
- HDMI cable
- probably RGB cable
- a few splitter cables in case you stream from an old TV and cannot use your HDMI cable, in this case you might also need a both-ends RGB cable
- depending on your preference: microphone (with that cover thing because, as silly as it might sound, it is very possible that a person slightly, even very slight spits while talking and that might be heard)/headset/camera; I never use a camera
