@nashvilleskyline: I actually think this is a good move.

You have a new console and updated online system and will have a large uptake in a short period of time in the first few months.

To keep stability and ensure stability for everyone would you role out every single online ability and have issues and try to fix it?

You could but then you have to take the complaints and the downtime. Ensuring stability and polishing and role out the features over time as you verify and improve the service...

I actually think while its a shame you got to wait - smart move.

this isn't bad news for Xbox. That PS4 streaming is pretty janky. They just want to make sure it's a good experience on the Xbox.

I don't know what PS4 streams you're watching, they've looked fine when I've seen 'em.

Now, let's see if we see the outrage that was seen when Sony announced that DLNA was missing launch...

You still won't be able to watch premium Giant Bomb streams through any of the Twitch apps.

Looks more robust then the PS4 streaming. But they really should have pushed to get streaming out at launche. Even though the quality of the stream is kinda shitty on the PS4(and I quess it will be about the same on Xbox One) it's nice to just have it there if you ever want to use it.

Apart from just showing of a game and your skills(or lack there of)) it's also a good way to get ether quick help with a game or being called a faggot who doesn't know what the fuck he's doing.

Does it now ? Considering they have not even implemented twitch stream feature as yet and that video is fake bullshot like everything else microsoft has put out about the different features. as for the ps4 its works well the quality of the stream is very dependent on the person having the upload speed necessary angry joes ps4 streams have been good considering twitch has locked down the ps4 streaming to medium since launch to reduce the load on their servers.

Did I miss something? At no point did they say you can stream a game while you're playing it, you can only watch a stream from twitch.tv or watch one while you play a game without actually streaming anything.

Yes you did, and yes they did http://blog.twitch.tv/2013/06/twitch-announces-xbox-one-integration/

That is with the full intigration which is not out yet. Nowhere in the video they mentioned streaming your game like the person before was implying.

"Get special achievements for using the Twitch app"? Really!? I would like to get my rewards for actually playing games. So, there will be a section on your achievement list for "Twitch achievements"?...

List of Twitch achievements from the video:

"watch 10 hours of video on Twitch" "Watch 1 hour of video on Twitch that has less than 10 viewers" "Watch 100 HOURS of live video on Twitch" "Watch 10 hours of video on Twitch channels that have less than 10 viewers"

I'm sorry, but this is really, really dumb.

You are right, all achievements have been and will always be really really dumb.

You gotta hand it to twitch though. It's in twitch's best interest to get more and more content creators on their service, so if they can funnel extra viewers to new streamers via achievements that's a smart move on their part.

To anyone else that doesn't know, you can watch any twitch stream on PS4 by going to twitch.tv using the ps4 browser! The stream is very high quality, you can navigate the cursor and hit the button to make stream go full screen! Only thing is that chat doesn't work. I was really excited to be able to watch twitch streams now on the couch lol

Pack it in, X-Bone. This generation's in the bag.

No but seriously, streaming is really well-implemented by the PS4 so far, so it's a shame the XONE won't have that out of the box. The ability to watch random feeds of others' games was one of my favorite things about OnLive so I guess I shouldn't be surprised how nice it is.

The only way to win this argument is to, uh, post about nothing at all. If you look through the comments sections of the last months, I've been accused of both. If you're accused of both, you're probably doing it right.

I wouldn't worry about it Patrick. The most ironic thing about accusations of fanboy-ism is that the accuser usually doesn't realize they are pointing from the other side.

Can you still record and upload footage later? Don't need to stream but would like to have a few Forza laps to show off.

To MS SkyDrive, yup.

I like the way @patrickklepek posted this video. From just watching the video I would have been looking for this on the console on Friday, at least now I know I have to wait.

@gaspower: You are correct. I think I'm just a little bummed that his attitude in general toward MS has been, at times, a biased one. Also, I think that trying to make a point by just having a sarcastic attitude doesn't help at all indeed. As I mentionned before, I'm just to emotional about it all and it doesn't come out the right way. Thanks for the comment. Putting things in perspective is not always easy when emotions get in the way! Glad you guys help me with that. Have a nice launch

I'm sorry, what? The company bringing you The Power of the Cloud can't sort out a video streaming function?

Which launch game is using The Power of the Cloud to boost performance BTW? I don't want to miss it. Because that was the story 6 months ago. So of course now that it's time to deliver on those vague, nebulous promises and platitudes we are going to see something concrete right? Real out-of-the-box capabilities?

I love watching marketing nerds eat their words.

Sucks because I was hoping to be able to watch streams of Xbox One since I'm not buying one yet. In any case, the twitch app looks cool. Hope they create something on PS4 that allows us to watch other streams like that.

You will still see streams of the Xbox One, people will just stream the way they stream everything else.

@nashvilleskyline: Nah, no one is getting you "wrong" as we can clearly see the intentions of your post. This IS news as it potentially effects consumers as it was never hinted or alluded to that he feature wouldn't make launch.

In my opinion he's actually pretty down about consoles in general since joining the "glorious PC master race" and has experienced things like the gimmick that is Occulus Rift (I think the OR is cool, but its ultimately going to be a $300 attachment that very few people buy). I also seem to think he finds the mobile scene oddly more compelling as well. I don't get that either, but then again I find 97% of mobile games to be clones, free to play BS, and just bad games. Dude even vitriolically shits on the Vita anytime its mentioned when its a perfectly fine handheld. When I hear some people talk about video games I sometimes wonder why they still play. At least I feel he's being honest to his own voice and he's not trying to purposefully be an ass in a way like Arthur Gies seems to be anytime Sony is mentioned.

@gaspower: Sorry if you got my response twice... browser issue.

Why can't I criticize and like something or someone at the same time?

You can criticize and like someone's work but from the comments you made in regards to Patrick, you're not giving criticism as much as you are making statements that he is just biased against MS and is pro-Sony. Comments like "Patrick signing in making sure there's MS trashing" or him being "more cynical about everything microsoft puts out and biased toward everything Sony puts out" doesn't seem like fair criticism more so than your just perceiving him to have some sort of agenda against MS where in fact he has been critical of Sony as well.

Just wanted to point that out where I'm coming from with this and why I think what you're saying is contradictory with your past comments in regards to Patrick's work. It's clear that you have an appreciation for MS and you are probably just upset at Patrick when he makes a negative statement towards MS then its understandable to feel upset but to label him as someone who is against MS because of that isn't actual criticism. I don't always agree with Patrick at times but I never go as far to call him out for being being against or is for a company.
