Twitch streaming from PS4 is now live
- Thread starter GeoramA
- Start date
Considering how I've felt a lot of the gaming press has handled lead up to the launch of both systems, I'm glad that is the case.

Stream is awful. I'll just wait for somebody who knows what they're doing to set up a proper HD stream.
He's on 4G, give him a break.
he lurks neogaf in his work all day...
he is already ONE OF US.
It is impressive considering he is using 4G instead of proper broadband

No. His stream is awful. A blurry, muffled mess. If your barber only had a rusty breadknife to cut hair with would you give him a break? Etc. Etc.
There's nothing to really "know", the PS4 chooses the resolution based on your connection.

Don't go to the gamespot stream. It is "Gamers" central.

He is right, the stream is an blurry mesh and not a good way to present an game.
But then im more shocked mobile upload speeds are higher then getting cable what an fucked up situation is that.

You pay your barber. You're not paying him. You can complain all you want but it'll just make you look silly.

Agreed. Is the X1 implementation going to be the same? I haven't been following at all.

Not quite, Xbone is just Twitch. PS4 is Twitch and Ustream, although I'm sure most people will use Twitch. As for customization on both, none of us knows yet.

I guess I'll just have to look silly, then!
To continue the tedious barber analogy (which I indicated was tongue-in-cheek in my OP by the use of "Etc. Etc."), I am paying him. I'm paying him with my time. I watched an ad before I got to the stream. And if my barber starts hacking my hair with a rusty breadknife, I leave without paying and I complain about it to my friends. Same deal here!
I wasn't being flippant or trying start an argument. I was simply pointing out that the stream is garbage and that I'll just wait for someone to do it properly rather than waste my time with a sub-standard experience.
I'm continually nonplussed at the internet's attitude towards stuff that is "free". It's not free. Value your time. But that's a totally different argument and far from on topic. I'll say no more - I was just doing a bit of complaining about a poor quality stream.
Twitch integration looks awesome, one of the things I'm most excited for this gen. Knack looks horrible though.
I'm starting to warm to the PS4 UI too, although it really doesn't look practical for when you have loads of games installed.
It's going to be awesome when you can just hop onto twitch and watch people play console titles, but I do wonder if devs will impose restrictions on twitch streaming for perhaps the first week after launch to protect story elements.

That's on you, not on him. And no you are still not paying him.

He's still doing you a service you requested, this guy is not.
Little more then a "bit" I'd say. And it doesn't matter if it's free or not, no one made you watch it, no one even asked you to watch it.
GamesRadar is playing it too: http://www.twitch.tv/gamesradar

At risk of dragging this wildly off topic, this is exactly the response people always come up with! Does the fact that I have a choice prohibit me having an opinion? Why are positive opinions acceptable, but negative opinions always met with "well, you don't have to do it!". Absolute nonsense.
I promise, I'm saying no more. This attitude just gets on my tits.

You got it all wrong, no one is prohibiting you from having an opinion. You are not giving opinions, you are complaining about him wasting your time. That is not an opinion.

Now you're just arguing semantics. Opinion, positive or negative, praise or complaint, it's all perfectly relevant and acceptable, whether the thing you're talking about is "free" or not.
But let's agree to disagree. In my opinion, "you don't have to watch it, so you are prohibited from complaining" is complete and utter rubbish. A ridiculous stance to take. This is a discussion forum.
yes, optionally
with camera = video (or voice only) optional
without camera but headset = voice optional
no camera/mic = just the game feed
Seriously? Mine is 2mb and it always looks so shyte! I've been thinking about upping it to 6mb.
pretty sure I've seen over the last few days Sony mention that you will need over 2Mb for a "high quality" stream. 2Mb or less and your quality is going to be totally YMMV.
FWIW, between going all digital this gen and twitch streaming I just upped my time warner to 30x5 for $55. Yeah it's $240 more per year... but in the long run it's going to pay off. We've already had more than a few times were there were two or even three streams going in the house at a time.
Yeah Knack looks better than I expected. It looks like a decently fun little brawler with some interesting mechanics.

The stream is nice and pretty seamless. I didn't know if I would use this, but ties pretty rad. Also, Knack looks better than reviews.
I think live streaming will change the way people discover and form an opinion about games. Seeing real, everyday people playing them live will do a good job of showing them what the title is and how it plays, instead of having to rely on heavily edited, and possibly biased, reviews from the usual outlets.
I already feel like this with PC gaming, now consoles will benefit from the same. It's great.
