I've never owned a gameplay capture device, so watching my own gameplay was such a surreal experience. Love it.

I hope they add some sort of editing software in a future update. Sometimes I've wanted to just keep a short section of gameplay. It would save HDD space aswell.

??

I genuinely assumed you could edit on PS4. 

I can edit on Xbox One. I can add picture in picture of me explaining things, Or even splice together 5 different videos. Then upload and save. I can add different openings to the video also.


You can edit cutting videos, you put the start and the end of the video, you cut it, and then you upload it.

off topic: Ey, Selnor, for curiosity, in Ps4 we have the share button, but how it works on Xbox One?

i've been using this to show my friends what to do in kill zone lol



When I get my PS4, the first thing I will do is sharing gameplay with my friends.



It'll be an even bigger hit when the only options aren't Facebook and Twitter. I think I've only shared 3 of the 5 bagillion screenshots so far. I'd rather have the option to get them off of my HDD myself rather than posting them on social media.

Exactly. I got plenty screenshots but I'm not going to upload them to facebook, then save them to pc. I hope they make the videos and screenshots accessible like on ps3. Simply copy to USB stick or network device. I tried messaging them to a ps3 system, but they don't arrive.

The number isn't really impressive if you think about how many people have the system, how long it's been out, and the fact that there is no doubt going to be a bunch of people who have pressed that button over a hundred times.



I find it strange that yesterday I was reading people on here claiming that the stats MS made public about miles raced, and zombies killed were nothing but an insult to people's intelligence, and a deflection to avoid talking about sales, yet some of those same people are posting in this thread about how awesome it is that Sony released a stat on how many times a button was pushed.

What am I missing?

OT: I'm glad to see that the feature is being used and enjoyed. I personally enjoy watching videos of awesome kills, or incredible kill streaks, or amazing lap times, etc.

Edit: Out of curiosity, what is the maximum recording length for a video using this feature?

Out of curiosity can you source those "same people"?

I did the work for you, only two posters in here were in the other thread jizzbeard and svennoj.

Jizzbeard degraded both.
svennoj asked what the sales were, and here was responding to the share button feature seeming low. As he pointed out in teh other thread, SOny already revealed its numbers.

So, I guess if you wanna be taciturn in your accusation, I guess you could consider svennoj as that offender, but one person is still far from the definition of "people", so I'll have to call you on that as well.

EDIT: I do like you avatar though, so you get a pass this time.

Today Sony Computer Entertainment announced that it has sold 2.1 million units of the PS4 from launch to December the 1st, but the house of PlayStation has more numbers to share.

The “Share” button on the DualShock 4 controller proved to be particularly well received by new owners of the console, that used the ability to share screenshots on Twitter and Facebook and video on Ustream and Twitch.TV a whole lot. According to a press release sent by Sony the “Share” feature has been used more than 6.5 million times.

After all, we’re living more and more on a social media-dominated, shared world, so it’s not too surprising to see this kind of feature becoming popular between gamers.

And 6 millions of those from Battlefield 4 players trying to 'spot' targets! (atleast several of mine were)



The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.

This is what you're missing
http://www.engadget.com/2013/12/03/sony-sold-2-1-million-ps4s/

So now we know on average it's just over 3 items shared per user. Not a lot. Anyway who is saying how awesome the stat is?

It's 15 minutes maximum recording, or you can stream as long as you want.
Kinda neat to check out the live streams before turning the console off. Europe came online and immediately FIFA was the most watched from then on.
