Forums - Sony - PS4: One FW 3.0 Addition That Will Be Significant

Fist of all you need to take into consideration that with FW 3.0 comes Youtube intergration. Secondly you have to take into consideration that Youtube are going all out with games, includiing streaming. Now think about the 'Events' that are coming with FW 3.0. This means that every single event that Youtube broadcast will have a notification and a single place for PS4 owners to watch. E3, TGS, Paris Week, Gamescom, Playstation Experience ... as well as competative E-sports. Say goodbye to searching on the internet for a good connection. Just sit back, turn on your PS4 and watch.

Hmm. I thought they were just going to support Youtube Gaming broadcasting like they do twitch and ustream. I don't think you can watch events through them on the ps4. You can only watch streams from people playing ps4 games. Unless they are changing it and opening it up? That would be good news!

It does mention that you can 'watch' in the notes. It seems a no brainer that events such as TGS and Playstation Experience would also be streamed and available in the Events section.

You're right, it does make sense.  Here's hoping it will.  I really enjoyed watching conferences on the big screen when my PC was hooked up to my TV.

Well, I was assuming it does do this. The one thing that drives me crazy is trying to find a stream and then trying to find the best source for that stream. Just being able to find it in one place on your PS4 would be heaven. Here's the patch notes:

[Events] has been added to the main menu. From a PlayStation-related events list, you can now discover, participate, and view events.

Awesome!  Being able to view it with other fans will be terrific.  I wonder if we'll get a date at TGS?

The patch notes were originally translated from Japanese so I'm going to go with yes.
