GTA IV on the Big Screen

Trevelbond · 30 May 2008, 04:30 PM

Last night my boss and I were messing around and we decided to try GTA IV with our massive digital projector. Unfortunately, the projector is pre-HDMI and I wasn't prepared to drop seventy bucks on the proprietary component cables for an experiment, so we just used the composite and set it at 480p.

It's about a 340 seat theater, and the PS3 controller has awesome range. It reached from the back of the projection booth and all the way to the front row of the theater. I actually got some motion sickness after driving for a while.

Next time I buy the component cables and It will look awesome.

I'm trying to find a picture of the theater with the lights on, to give that other one scale. If I don't have one I'll take one Saturday night.

A few months ago my friend had to do a demonstration speech, so he chose how to do a level on halo, and somehow got the school theatre to do it in. This is a 1,000 seat theatre we're talking about, so it's not so tiny. Hooked it up to the projector in the back, and projected it onto a massive screen in the front. 360 controllers also have good range. We were able to sit front row while the xbox was in the back room.
