Halo 3 to be precise and on a TV bigger than your house. That's got to be worth a look.
The screen at the Dallas Cowboys new stadium is big, and I don't mean 50" big, I mean over eleven thousand square feet big. The screen measures 72' x 160', which is around 176' on the diagonal or 2100" if you prefer, and made up of thousands of LEDs. So what do you think the best use for a TV the size of four tennis courts is?
That's right, videogames. Specifically Halo 3 and Gears of War 2.
What's odd about this story though isn't the fact that someone played games on that monstrous screen, it's who played them. Something like this you'd expect to come from some gaming website or a Texas based developer trying to drum up some publicity. It's certainly not something you'd expect from the director of Jonas Brothers videos. Steve Fantone took a little time away from concert preparations to get some giant gaming done, and even to make a the above YouTube video.
Just goes to show, anyone could be a gamer these days.
I literally just stumbled upon this and was going to read it but decided to look at this post first. That is an awesome thing, just hope you don't make a mistake (or else everyone will see it and you'll be embarrassed).
Awesome, I think that would just fit in the field by my house... Now I just need to steal all of Bill Gate's money to pay for the construction of the screen, Best part of it is, my bedroom window overlooks that field, so I could lay in bed and play on it :)
1. You know when you play a game and the light from the sun comes through, making the screen look darker? your going to have THAT problem.
2. Plus, why Halo? Seriously you want to play a good game on it, [Prototype], Red faction, inFamous, Valkyria Chronicles, and before the other PS3 fanboys say anything, NOT Killzone 2.
