On the May 9th, 2017 Bombcast, Ben mentioned an idea for a post-match map in PUB-Jee where you could see everyone's paths over time. While I like the idea, it got me thinking about just how cool it would be for this game to have a Halo 3 style theater mode, that would locally save a "film" of the entire match that you could open up later and fly a camera around and see where everybody went and when.
From what I remember, the file sizes would be relatively small compared to actual video files, because all the file contained was a little player movement data that would render its self in the game engine. This also got me wondering why more games didn't attempt to replicate this feature as time went on. I, for one, would love to be able to watch some of the "Murder Island" matches after they're done from each of their perspectives with a camera that I can control and see what they may have missed.
That also got me wondering as to why a theater mode like feature hasn't been implemented in more games? What are your thoughts on it in general?
