People are streaming "shows" via PS4 twitch..

The highly suspicious, cynical side of me can't help but shake the feeling this is viral marketing, they are just too innocent.

I really hope not. I can see like, 2005 Sony trying something like that, but I'd hope they wouldn't try something like that today. I don't know.

If by some chance this does turn out to be viral marketing though, it will totally shatter the last percentage of faith in the internet I still have after horse ebooks.

She's a keeper for sure. I mean shes pregnant and it is at least 2am (I think they're on the west coast) and she's putting up with all this. The creepy troll comments and phone calls about wanting to &%#$ her and shit. They've both handled it with class, her especially.

lol Yeah, she's very patient. They're both handling it with a smile (mostly) on their faces.
 
I just can't see sony viral marketers flubbing the Uncharted / PC thing. Nah, they seem authentic to me.

Not to mention, Sony probably wouldn't start a stream under the premise that the sticks on the PS4 controller suck and need to be replaced with PS3 sticks.
 
Okay, this is actually really fascinating.

The PS4 Camera is, after all, by default going to be a popular accessory, and I'd be shocked if it didn't become apart of the basic package eventually. My guess is that this'll happen when the X1 drops it price, Sony will just bundle the camera rather than dropping the PS4's price.

The X1 of course, comes with a camera, so theoretically every X1 user has this same option as well, unless I'm missing something.

This means, that the next round of consoles is going to do something completely new. Each new console is now a potential gateway for users to create their very own television show. If I had to guess, these shows will probably remain fairly, "sparten," for the short term, but if this really becomes a selling point I could easily see this changing.

How long until Sony or Microsoft ups the ante, by including decent video editing tools in the consoles themselves? How long until one company or the other starts offering promotional tools, and channels for helping people to discover user created content that they may like.

Oh, sure, Youtube did the same thing for PC's. However, consoles have the potential to streamline the process, and further push it into the mainstream. If that happens, well, I'm not sure what would happen really, but I'd love to find out. XD
 
I really hate, that I cant watch this right now.

I have not much experience with Twitch, am I able to watch this later?

Supposedly PS4 streams weren't archivable but that PS4 troubleshooting guy's stream was archived. So I think maybe?

edit: follow and click videos when the stream ends and you might be able to see the last stream. I can't log in right now to test it.
 
If you can stream your TV, does it mean we could have access to decent sports matches streams that are on channels for a fee, akin to justintv but better? :)

I'm going to give you a sec to think about that.

Through the XBone the camera won't even be needed, but they will have locked out that possibility.
 
This is really interesting. The weird use of streaming + the playroom robot companion to create a makeshift call in show is the most next gen thing of next gen so far.

unfortunately probably not, except from whatever people record. PS4 streams apparently aren't archived by Twitch even when it's enabled by the channel. :/

It may be that high view count streams get archived but low view count streams don't?

All I know is that it was stated that they wouldn't get archived.

Also — and this is something Sony says it will fix — the streams on Twitch and Ustream can’t be archived, like every other broadcast.

No need to be rude for a simple response.

edit: oh, I get it, that other guys' stream wasn't using the Twitch app. Doh. So the answer would be no if you use the PS4 twitch app.
 
They need to stop streaming so we can all get to sleep

I know... I keep coming back to this, trying to play AC4!

The lost me at, "Naughty Dog? What is that?" "Oh Uncharted... yea, I played that on PC. Pretty good". What.

Does playing only CoD make you lose your mind or do you have to lose your mind to play CoD?
 
The guy doing the impression seems to have mixed Macho man and Hulk Hogan into one person.

I'm really tired. I just kept calling in so the Ohh Yeah would play and he'd get frustrated. I should have gone to bed hours ago, but the combo of the persona and this stream hypnotized me.

Yeah, the robot and music, plus the cheerful and somewhat naive hosts, makes it feel like some strange Disney gaming show from the future.
