I'd like your opinion on PS4's share button

[Pollopingu]

Hi everyone!
The other they I heard that on the PS4 there will be a "SHARE" button that will allow you to record your gameplay and post it on youtube right away... I heard it might also let you livestream and let another person take control of your character (which i think will be a treat to al lot of hackers ).
What I was thinking is that there will be an explosion of new gameplayers and let's-players (don't know if it's written like this but you get the point ) and I wanted to know what is your opinion as youtubers on that!

I think it's a good idea so people can see if they like doing gaming videos before they buy expensive equipment

I think it's good for Youtubers but for "just" gamers they won't care unless their Facebookers. TV One also has these features but they didn't explain how they work yet.

I don't like how my game might be hacked either, I hope there's an option to lock all of that out...

Everything is supposed to be connected to social networks - and i dont really like it.
Just stay with PC is the best if you ask me.

Problem with that is that most people can't afford a PC good enough to play most games on properly

Well, playing a game on ultra graphics isnt a must.
You can get a decent PC for a cheap price.

Well still you will need to modify ur video, so I hope they won't add that!
And PC is good enough for live stream!
But I like Ps, I got ps2 and ps3
But still PC is #1

 

[Br00tal]

PC will always be #1

Because they update every few months and parts can be swapped out, unlike console where it's only every 5 years or so

I also heard you will be able to record gameplay and upload straight to sites like YouTube, Vimeo, etc.
IMO, these console are great, but the cost is getting silly! Over £400 for a console is way too much, especially for one that may have limitations with the ability to play used games - important when new games cost around £60 each! I like games just as much as the next person, but sorry, Im not spending that much one a game! I'd rather spend that money and take the kids on a day out![DOUBLEPOST=1369768533,1369768381][/DOUBLEPOST]

Bear in mind the console cost is a one off. You then don't have any worry about whether a game released a year or two down the line will run at max res etc. A PC is more costly over the same lifetime since you need to update the graphics card etc every so often, which aren't cheap alone.

Personally I prefer the ease of consoles. Knowing I don't need to check recommended specs etc at all. Knowing it will just run the way developers intended it to. Its just the cost of the console and the games that put me off now!
