Neat. I probably won't use it, but it's neat that it's finally arriving.

Glad i'm not a server tech for Microsoft.

Isn't EA co-handling the server stuff for Titanfall or is that all on the PC side of things?

@davvyk: That makes sense. It does seem to be getting to feature complete now.

I guess March 11th will be the big test for the cloud.

@patoday: Some devs claimed before launch that the console was initially aiming for a march launch and it was moved forward once microsoft learnt of sonys launch date.

Who knows if any of it is true but it makes sense that the system seems to be getting towards feature complete for march.

Why does it take Titanfall to get everything working that should have been there at or very close to launch?

Cool. It's a nice feature on PS4. I'm glad the XBox crowd is getting it too. I'm scared for the Twitch servers. They seem to be held together with string and masking tape at this point. Sometimes the delay is up to a minute recently, which kills a lot of interaction with your audience through chat. I used to like broadcasting things like XCom and FTL, letting the audience make decisions. That doesn't work as well with the forced delay.

That being said, it's cool that the feature is coming for XB1. They're really going all out on this Titanfall launch. I hope it works out for them. There will definitely be a huge spotlight on XBox March 11th. Hopefully the servers are in order for a smooth launch.

You're doing it wrong. Be mad and angry and fanboyish damn it.

Glad this is finally coming. I just hope it works well and it wasn't rushed out. They did say early next year though so time table makes sense.

I'm glad this is coming for Titanfall, but fuck me, these interpretations of what people are like when they're sitting at home playing games are ridiculous.

I like that UI better than the PS4's. But I still wish there was an option, at least I didn't see one, to play the game in full screen. Why not use SmartGlass, or the PS app, to allow us to view the chat instead of taking up a quarter of the screen?

On PS4? You can. Go into the options after you hit share, and there will be a check box for full screen. I use the Twitch app on my tablet to monitor chat, and play in full screen.

Man, I would have loved to have this ready to go for the Titanfall Beta, but such as life. Really just glad to have it ready before the Oct. 25th Extra Life marathons. Now I should have plenty of content to stream when everyone else in Dota 2 has fallen asleep

Being able to join a game you are watching is a very cool thing indeed. Though doubt I will use it that much, or successfully anyway.

I mistook the thumbnail for Carmageddon. Sadly it was just Forza.

I need more stock video of people saying 'Xbox broadcast' please. I didn't quite understand how that whole thing worked.

This chat has emotes and PS4 doesn't soooooo Xbox: 1 - PS4: 0

EDIT: also I need the people to look at the camera like it's The Office (seriously is that how connect works?)

also what's the white stick all about? This whole thing is dumb. Why is this an ad?

I think the Twitch guys are probably the ones that will be sweating bullets. I doubt this adds any extra load on the MS side, and the servers seemed pretty solid in that Titanfall beta.

This is much better than the written PR from the Twitch CEO where he told bullshit making it sound like all of these things were exclusive to the Xbone (joining broadcaster, seeing comments, seeing viewer counts, etc).

The actual big thing here is that MS moneyhatted Twitch into enabling archivals..?
