Forums - Sony - Twitch On PlayStation 4 Makes Brilliant Innovations (UStream too)

We had a look at how Twitch will run on the PlayStation 4 today at Sony's event in New York City. While the interface looks familiar, it offers streamlined usability not before seen on consoles.

If you've ever streamed from a console to Twitch and want to monitor the comments, you know you need to use a separate screen to watch the chat. Not anymore.

The Twitch app on PlayStation 4 smartly places the chat feed on the right hand side of the screen. Not only can you see how many are watching and subscribed, but you can see everything being said about your performance right on your television. Additionally, if you have the PlayStation Camera, you can add that to the stream.

When configuring your channel, you can toggle the camera on and off, use your microphone, and turn the chat panel off entirely. We're eager to see what our readers come up with as the PlayStation 4 enters the wild on Friday.

I think the UStream uses the same feature.

Added picture to OP.





I don't want to sound like a turd but... Mandatory game installs/cache looking like it being 35-50gb + HD video recording is gonna take up a shit ton of space...

Sony... You got this great system that is really gonna make lots of people's lives easier and more fun... Just take on more step and add in external hard drive support please
