Around the Network

The streaming is as easy as pressing a button on your Dualshock 4. The quality is very good from what I have seen; so good in fact that watching about 30 mins or so late at night took a nice chunk out of my monthly allowed bandwitdth for my ISP. I didn't buy the camera at launch personally; just going by what I have seen. My favorite launch game is Killzone. For one, it is not as easy as the critics have said. Kevin Van Ord from gamespot reviewed it and although I like him his review was somewhat innaccurate. The story really picks up after chapter 5 in case you are into atmosphere and a good story. The reviewers also said one of the negative things about it is that the game sometimes takes you on a siteseeing tour in terms of trying to sell the game solely on it's graphics and set pieces. This is also not true at all. There are a few moments, such as the intro to chapter 4 that you might have seen at E3, but they are very enjoyable and to be honest most of them are into cutscenes to the levels that serve to hide the loading time between levels (which is noticeable in next gen games). The characters in the game seem somewhat generic at first but deeper into the game it becomes apparent that instead of having the good vs evil cliche that many games use, Killzone's characters are very human and are motivated by human wants and dreams. Which can be very grey and murky. Thw multiplayer is much fun as well and since all map packs will be free in the future the game will have legs. Also, my PS4's browser does not like paragraphs. I can't hit enter to manufacture one..my bad



You may have to wait a bit for more answers Playstationgamer, I've not seen many people who got PS4s to be on vgchartz since friday. Seems like they are spending a lot of time playing on those dead consoles



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

I used broadcasting on Ustream. But it should be the same. You can allow or disallow Mic and Cam. You can record your mic on the video saving video function. The stream quailty settings are high, medium, low. No fine tunning. Bitrate, FPS, colors etc. You can't create sub channels. You can only do that on the Ustream site. But you can change the title and decription from the PS4.

15 min HDD saves are still allowed. But no chat window recording. Also, no lag while playing the game. But saved recordings have some framerate issues when you broadcast at the same time. The system might be changing the recording FPS to 30 instead of 60 in this situation. Broadcasting got stuck on preparing. But I just shut it off and on. This cleared it. Show the comments/your video to the people watching. There's a 20-40 delay in comments showing up. And the chat room shows 0 viewers. Even though I had 20. You can't tell Ustream to record the live show.  And no webcam of mine worked with the PS4. But the PS Cam will work. So I couldn't test the video portion of that. Oh, and broadcasting doesn't need PS+. I don't have one.

I was playing Injustice.
