Kinects camera is bloody great for Skype chats, DAT clarity. Looking forward to see how my friends activity stream develops into Twitch related streams. Holy shit at new Xbox one buyers, they get it all post March 11th!

Cool. I figured they'd want it in time for Titanfall.

I also really like what it says about people in your party joining the broadcast, as that's exactly what my brother and I were hoping for.

Nice that other people can join you in party chat while you're broadcasting. Too bad the lag Twitch has now has made for a really shitty experience for guest commentators.

3Mbps and 4mbit is a huge difference ;)
Click to expand...

You have no clue what you are talking about. Mbps - Megabits per second, MB/s - megabytes per second. It's accepted way to express network speed. Kripp has 3Mbps upload, i.e. 300-350KB/s. Quality is better than 90% of HD YouTube videos out there. It comes down to the quality of content and personality and not quality of video. There are people streaming in 1440p and 60FPS with 50-60Mbps bitrate to 10 viewrs, and there is Kripp on his shitty internet with 1080p at cinematic 25FPS getting 20-25k viewers every time he goes live.

Ah I greatly apologize, Mbps is not the usual term our providers use here, got confused with Megabyte :)
Then I will try again - but past streams I tried did not work out well.

Yes I too cannot wait for this update to my Xbox One™ by Microsoft™. I envy all of you new Xbox One™ buyers!

So you could watch your friend playing and then jump straight into their game if you want to. That's cool, hope Sony implements it on PS4. The "interactive" streaming we've seen on PS4 games so far has been pretty lame.

Important question, can I stream without snapping the twitch app to the side? as in can I run it in the background and game full screen?

I love the snap feature of the xbox one but I also dislike playing games shrunk down that much, the ps4 does the same thing with it's grey trim which shrinks the game down a lot.

Also would be nice if the background for twitch was black or a darker colour then pure white.

Only twitch? Was hoping they'd add uSteam streaming too, but I guess this will do for now.

Still no word on a screenshot feature though? Would quite like to be able to say Xbox, screenshot at some point...

Image compression for fast moving games will be interesting to compare to the ps4, where from what I have seen games like need for speed rivals like to get extremely messy due to fast moving images.

people can join my party? Why the hell would I want complete strangers voice chatting with me while streaming?......in fact you probably would just get a ton of trolls screaming in your ear.

You can put game into full screen and still stream on PS4, it's in broadcasting options.

Any news on whether the XBONE/PS4 apps will ever allow for non XBONE/PS4 game streaming? I know the web browser works on PS4, but I want to watch twitchplayspokemon in the app.

Hmm, I thought I already did that with Killzone (MP). Or was is through the friendlist/activities? Can't remember. :/

You can watch streams on Xbox One with current app. Only browser on PS4, no app so far.

I thought the PS4 integration also extended to interacting with a broadcaster's game if the game implements that SDK...which seems at least as 'deep' a type of integration to me as party joining options, albeit game specific.

Maybe there's other things about the XB1 implementation too.

That feature hasn't been used that often but Daylight is suppose to allow the PS4 stream watchers to input specific pharases that would create sounds in the game.

You can already "jump" into people's games on the PS4. It can't do party chat with stream viewers.

Looks better than the ps4 version tbh.

The video looks way cleaner, plus its bigger. Also, it has chat in a logical place. The ps4 chat is moronic with only 2 lines of text, plus the chat looks better.

Hopefully sony revamps it.

At this point I'm surprised they didn't name the console after Respawn/Titanfall. The second major patch is centered around getting things fixed ahead of the game, Respawn worked with MS to "fix" the controller, the newly announced bundle, and now getting Twitch broadcasting up and running for the game launch. I remember seeing articles that said the broadcasting could be gone until around E3 so good for them on getting it out sooner.

It does look really nicely implemented. I hope it functions just as good as it looks

I personally think that MS knows that it is a greatly anticipated game so they realize that glitches in the system could mean a great embarrassment for the X1. It's pretty much the biggest games being launched for the x1. That's my understanding, so I could be greatly wrong lol

I've seen X1 twitch streamers need to disable friend request and message notifications.

If you can link your X1 account to twitch and allow or disallow party requests, that'll cut down annoying friend list and message requests and make streamers you want in a easier process.
