Proposal: Video tape library

I'll just partially quote this comment tentacle wrote on a rockpapershotgun entry here:

"I REALLY wish there was a surveillance tape library. There was one $160000 house on the scoreboards for a couple days (the typical combination lock approach, with a not-imho-fair-cannot-exit-trigger) and hundreds had tried and died on it. Then one moment it was gone, someone had beat it. I would’ve loved to watch that tape!"

Maybe make the owner decide which tapes to upload, or let it be defined by a combination of some variables such as how many tools used, how many steps needed, how much money stolen etc. That would be reeeeeally awesome.

Or... they died in someone else's house. I agree with the idea of having a video library for some of the "high profile" houses, but I've had a few over 40k and all of them were erased when I died in someone else's house.

No I think he means a permanent library onto which you can load the tapes you liked most. It's certainly what I think.

And maybe the video tapes won't reset anymore with our death somewhen in the future. Just be saved on the hard disk as files that have the game files as dependencies (like Supreme Commander does it) to make it much smaller. Perhaps in house-specific folders.
