PlayStation 4 and The YouTube Effect


Submitted by UnashamedVandal; February 21, 2013


YouTube has its fair share of gamers that own expensive recording hardware so they can upload footage of themselves playing games, however Sony has taken it into their own hands to make a lot of this hardware obsolete. The PlayStation 4 will include a recording function, meaning gamers all over the world will be able to record themselves playing their favorite titles and share it with the world with the click of a button.  I call it...The YouTube Effect.

 

Its a sad time for many successful YouTubers, who have already made their mark on the online video world as established gamers, because now everyone with a PlayStation 4 will be flooding the internet with videos by simply clicking a button. Don't get me wrong, its a fantastic feature and will save a butt load of money for those who want to get started, but the huge increase in gamers uploading footage to the internet is going to make it that extra bit harder to find something unique.

 

For those of you that missed the PS4 meeting last night, I urge you to go and watch it using the link below. Its a fantastic showcase of what we are going to expect from the console and it really is a large technological leap from the PS3.

The PlayStation 4 will be released during the 2013 holiday season, a price is yet to be confirmed.

 

Let me know your thoughts.

the features so far sound impressive, dont get why MS and other fucktards are kicking off or bitching because the actual system hasnt been shown.

i dont really care what a system looks like (as they all usually look like a brick).

all i care about is what it does, how it will do it, and sony have done a good job in showing the world what the ps4 has lined up and this is before showcasing all its games.

the games it did show looked impressive (not revamped last gen 360 footage that wiitarded nintendo used) but these are just rendered images, cant wait to see actaul game footage.

It was an impressive meeting, the specs of the PS4 and the games they showcase were fantastic. I can't wait until it is released.

that's a great idea. A lot of people can't afford the additional hardware to record gameplay. Others don't have the space.

You are correct and I did highlight this...its a great feature to include on a console. However, my worry is that unique content will become harder to find.

... right my point exactly. That's what makes uniqueness "unique"

Well...no. Your point was that everyone can have a means to record their game, my point was that although that's great, unique content will be hard to find, because every can record stuff.
