I love this one simply for the contrast between the two.
 
I think the real issue with content producers is that this sort of thing is a minefield right now, with the rules more or less being completely random. Every IP owner seems to have different rules, and they run the gamut from where they don't care at all to not allowing any content to be used for any reason. It's a mess to deal with, further magnified by the fact that IP owners can change the rules at any time.

Just Arc System Works/Aksys though.
Sega doesn't allow for any videos, so no Aquapazza, The King of Fighters, or Persona.

Except that Aquapazza is published by Examu (with Aquaplus involved) and SNK handles the KoF games. Aside: anyone remember when MLG was filing ContentID claims on KoFXIII matches back when XIII was being run at MLG?

We still got French Bread. UNIBEL console release believe.
M2 is doing a follow-up to Koihime Musou too, I think.
Click to expand...
The console version of UNIBEL isn't happening in 2014; it got bumped due to French Bread's development with DBFC (to the point where I think you'll see DBFC on console in 2014 instead). You also forgot the PS3 port of AH3:Love Max!!!!! which was originally announced for fall 2014.

I would hope someone would be able to step it up as well. Right now, Twitch seems like the logical contender, but I feel that they have a number of issues (both technical, and I don't mean just streaming, say, API for example and UX related) that they need to improve dramatically to make it close to providing what YouTube does in the VOD space.

That said, even if Twitch did rise up, that wouldn't stop companies that have claim to the original content from leveraging claims against whatever new service pops up and becomes the service du jour and taking the content down there.

If a company is going to be aggressive enough to protect their IP, they're not just going to go after it on YouTube, they're going to go after it everywhere that has a monetization model in place (which Twitch does).
Click to expand...
If a video/streaming service sprung up with the intention of bridging the gap between publishers and players it might work out. Since, you know, the entire business plan of said site would depend on simultaneously letting its users monetize their broadcasts while also giving publishers control over their IP.

On the other hand the world is terrible and nothing large corporations do ever makes sense so this is like extreme pipe dream kind of stuff.
 
the thing is, going on tv is nothing like going on a stream. i was expecting it to be like a stream so i wasn't nervous at all and i'd done lots of preparation so i was pretty confident.

so first off, i'm not in the same room as the guy interviewing me. i'm in LA, he's in new york city. i find this out approximately 1 minute before they take me from the waiting room into this tiny room with a giant camera pointed at me and a green screen behind me. they fit an earpiece into my ear. then everyone else leaves the room. there's no feed of the program going on so i have no idea what i look like or what the show looks like. i try to straighten my tie but there's no mirror or anything so who knows how well that's working. my only connection to anything outside the room is through my earpiece, which is playing the audio feed of the show as broadcast from 3000 miles away. i'm just staring at a smiley face above the giant camera where they told me to look, listening in my earpiece for when someone might talk to me. that goes on for 10 minutes, me just sitting in that room by myself listening intently into this earpiece and staring intently into the smiley face because i have no idea when my segment is going to start. my mouth gets kinda foamy with dryness and i try to wipe it quickly because what if the camera turns on right when i'm doing that? it's not like they count you in or have someone who points to you that it's your turn to talk or anything. you're just hanging out waiting to try to snap into action.

so during this 10 minutes of being in this room with no connection to the outside world except through the audio feed in my ear, i try to go over in my mind what i want to say. mostly i can't seem to remember things. i try really hard to remember things and ignore the audio feed of the show's anchor babbling on about who knows what so that i can better remember. and i'm trying to maintain eye contact with this smiley face because the show could all of a sudden put me on air at any one of the next approximately 500 seconds.

so while working out my thoughts in my head and half ignoring the anchor, i suddenly hear, like, "...avid Graham. Thanks for joining us, David." and i scramble to say "Thanks for having me." and now i totally have to switch gears from waiting isolated in this booth to having an engaging conversation with one of the best thought of american tv journalists in front of i have no idea how many people about things i was interrupted in even thinking about!

so i went from being very confident to being very unsure of my info just like that. i tried to avoid saying names and really anything concrete because even though i kind of knew i had things right, i still was super worried that i didn't. as a result i ran everything i wanted to say through my brain at least once before letting it get to my mouth. hence lots of filler words like ums and uhs.

but anyway it was still really fun and i was stoked to do it and i'd love to do it again! i think i'd do much better now with a better understanding of how it goes. hope i get another chance.

Sega purchased Atlus' parent company, Index holdings earlier this year. The acquisition included Atlus and Atlus USA

So if I have explicit written permission from Examu to upload video footage from their games, but then someone like Sega or Aksys files a copyright infringement notice saying that I'm not allowed to show footage from a game they published, how should that be resolved? I guess it would come down to if/how broadcast rights are handled, if dictated at all in the original terms of the publishing contract (and how the hell would the average layperson know this?) What am I going to need in the future, permission from the publisher, developer, platform holder, players and my congressman in order to upload a match video?

The only conclusion I can come to is that our IP laws are vastly outdated in this day and age and need to be completely rewritten, and from a policy standpoint I find it hard to believe that videogame publishers have suffered direct harm for the publication of videos using their content.

Yeah Vimeo is ass overall outside of some pretty good video quality.

Maybe someone can ressurect Stage6 for a brief stint of video nirvana again!
Click to expand...

Vimeo is specifically no bueno because it does not allow video game content.
Only if you are a creator and you're posting footage of a game you developed, is it okay. Otherwise no.

did you try to get across that you were a first timer? it's too bad no one was there to offer any guidance

Eh, just playing devil's advocate here, but your perspective sounds pretty entitled. The game's developer/publisher put their money into making the game, it's their property. Why should anyone have the right to display this work? Why should anyone have the right to make money (directly or indirectly) from showing off NOT their property?

This is the part that confuses me. Fighting games cannot be spoiled, the devs/pubs don't seem to lose anything by having their games displayed. I strongly believe that fighting games rely heavily on network effects (the more people playing a game the more successful that game is), so I have a hard time understanding WHY devs/pubs wouldn't want their game showcased as much as possible. Mind-boggling.

Overall though I think you did really great, the segment was great. I'm not sure if you answered, but how did they contact you about this?

That is the big issue. Once youtube is brought into line, the smaller players will fall much more easily.

Still did a pretty solid job. Hopefully someone else will pick the story up and give a ring.

I was going to nominate Dailymotion as well. Great place for uploading video. When you get tired of watching match videos, their are plenty of other "interesting" videos to watch to keep yourself entertained.
Click to expand...
Not sure if this is the case still but at some point I believe DailyMotion was the second biggest video site next to YT.

And yeah I think it's pretty clear publishers are ignoring the negative impacts of this and how it might crush word of mouth. All you're gonna go is give up power in awareness to stuff like Minecraft, and suddenly even publishers lose the ability to fake leak things to build promo. All those throwing-a-knife-over-a-football-field-to-kill-someone CoD videos will be no more.

Gaming is slowly becoming a weird worst case scenario sort of dystopia in many aspects :/
 
Ultradavid did look nervous on camera but he still sounded like he knew what he was talking about. I thought he did a pretty good job. Looking forward to watching him nail it next time.
 
Gonna be completely honest UltraDavid, I thought you sorta slipped up and were saying a lot of the same thing over and over. But the questions you were being asked too weren't very different either so you still got a sticker.
 
Anyone here gonna be going to the Defend the North Qualifier at Queens College tomorrow? I know most rarely go to Queens, especially not so deep in Queens, so I'd thought I'd post some of the ways of getting there through the MTA:

From Manhattan you can take the E or the F and get off at Forest Hills-71st and Continental and take the Q64 (which is right there outside station) to Kissena Boulevard and it leaves you a block away from the campus.

From the Bronx you can the Q44 to Flushing (I forget the stop. I'm sure Google Maps would tell you where) and then transfer to either the Q34 or Q17 and both will leave right in front of the campus.

There are a few ways from Brooklyn, but I've always just taken the G to it's last stop in Queens and then transfer to the E.

Map of campus: http://www.qc.cuny.edu/about/directions/2d/PublishingImages/qcmap.gif

The building you wanna go to is the one all the way on the bottom left, the Student Union ( and the ballroom is on the top floor).

Edit: Well, shit, there are directions right here. Could have saved myself some effort.

Atlus published Aquapazza and The King of Fighters XIII in the US.

I'm pretty sure SNKP has the verdict on what to say in regards to what can and can't be streamed as KOF is their IP. Don't think it really matters publisher wise.

Also KOF isn't anime. Everytime someone calls KOF Anime, The Last Blade 3 is delayed another year
 
Infiltration, TampaBison, Seth, Justin, imo.

Seth/Infiltration are almost certainly on opposite sides of the final bracket.
 
Grand Finals: Infiltration vs Tampa Bison, and Tampa will win the whole thing. He's just too stronk.
BUT, with Infiltration only having SfxT to focus, he may have a good chance, but I don't think so

Infiltration only got into SFxT? Wow. Capcom Cup is going to be very interesting.

Does anyone know who will be commentating Marvel at Capcom Cup? Will it just be UltraDavid and James Chen?
