Twitch streaming from PS4 is now live

Knack actually looks a lot better than the reviews make out, actually looks like a lot of fun to me.

Also really impressed with how decent the Twitch PS4 integration is (get to it Valve, get this universal on Steam).
 
It's both cool that it blurs out friend requests and other notifications, but if it's smart enough to acknowledge that they're there, why don't they just not show them at all for people watching the stream?
 
Was already browsing Twitch and was surprised I didn't see any. Nice to see that it works but why can't I change the resolution, hope that's a setting made by the streamer and we're not stuck with sd.

This. Also, the friend request notification is huuuge.

Resolution option is not a PS4 thing. Resolution changes on twitch is only open to certain streamers who meet a criteria for streaming (viewer count).

For those streams that don't have resolution option, you can use betterttv addon and stream through VLC will give you res options.
 
He's using his iPhone connection btw, looks really smooth. I think i'l ask my friend to stream for me while my PS4 get's here in december :/
 
That standby screen that showed a no video recording sign. Was that because Sony actually disables the recording/streaming of certain parts of Knack?
 
Anyone else having issues with the iOS Twitch app today? Everything except for the actual videos are working on my phone.

No, it's because he went back to the system menu.

If he's actually doing this on an iPhone connection, I'm fucking STUNNED

No that was him on the dashboard accepting friend requests...
Friend requests you receive while playing are blurred out as well...
 
Knack looks okay. Not really grabbing me after 10 minutes though.

One thing I wish Sony would change was that it would just totally hide friend requests on the stream. It's really annoying to see that censored black box appear every minute or two on the stream.
 
never been a big fan of twitch but this could be pretty neat if well integrated.

do you need the ps camera to do voice though? or can viewers still hear commentary if you have a mic or headset?
 
lol

He's on an LTE connection on his iPhone because his home internet upload speed sucks.

BTW, Knack actually looks really cool. Could see my wife and kid really enjoying playing this with me.

My guess is that Sony will eventually update the firmware to work like you describe.
 
They're streaming off a 4G phone, impressive.


Does anyone know if it's possible to stream in fullscreen on PS4 without the Picture in Picture?

I watch Twitch pretty regularly and did not know this -_-
 
Can you have it not display chat on the stream itself but still on your screen? Cause it is obviously useful on your screen, but having it on the stream, when the chat is right there, is kind of silly.

It also means you can't watch the stream and not get exposed to the horrific pit that is a stream's chat.
 
Twitch chat is ridiculous.

I really wonder why people find satisfaction at posting dick pics all over the chat.
 
Watching the stream right now and have to say I am impressed with it functioning this well on release. Looks like him and his friend are having fun with Knack also on couch co-op.

I imagine Sony will work on making improvements as time goes on to it but this is a nice start.

I'm surprised this is functioning at all on 4g internet.
