Support NeoGAF

[Steverulez]

I'll probably only use it once to try it, but I'm certainly interested in it.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I just hope it dont lag, it dont lag on ps4

 

[Mikey Jr.]

A big part of streaming on ps4 seems to be ustream streaming. People just sitting in front of the camera and shooting the shit.

Wonder if Xbox is ever going to have that.

 

[Skilotonn]

About damn time, considering that it was announced first on XB1.

Interface looks much nicer too, and I think they gave the impression that it was coming at the end of the year so I'm glad that it's far earlier than that.

Just waiting on a big price drop and certain games to come out and then I'm in. Good to see that Twitch streaming will be ready for whenever that'll be, since it was my number one non-game want.

 

[mrklaw]

Surely the CEO of Twitch is pretty clued up on things to make that comment?

I'm not saying it isn't correct, I'd just like more information than something that on the surface sounds like a PR comment.

 

[Prine]

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.

Your right...I remember reading an article that Bungie helped with OG Xbox control pad (it seems as if that controller was only made for Halo), Epic had a major say with Xbox360 system (RAM) but Respawn/Titan Fall are on another level, as if they're running MS atm.

 

[mrklaw]

I also don't get all the 'looks way better than PS4' comments. Of course the published images will look better, they are idealised and/or photoshopped. The game window is smaller so for the person playing that isn't ideal - but at least you have more space for chat.

I'd call them pretty even - at the end of the day you are both streaming with a thumbnail from a camera feed and comments.

 

[zhao3gold]

Now everyone can see Titanfall.

!

 

[Withnail]

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

Already can on ps4. Polygon also tweeted the same misinformation... Shocker

I stand corrected on the joining games from the stream, didn't know you could do that on PS4. Still, the way it's integrated on XB1 sounds pretty neat.

 

[JAYSIMPLE]

Was there a rumour that this console was supposed to launch in spring with Titanfall as a launch title? It's like the software and os is finally going to be ready by March. Seems really like that was the initial plan to me.

 

[madmackem]

About time too, I've done it on ps4 a fair bit to show friends games etc, I'll use it on xboxone too.

 

[wapplew]

Is Xbone version of Playroom coming soon?

 

[FullMetaltech]

Good to hear that both will now have streaming capabilities now. I do like how they are gonna utelize it better on PS4 with the Interactive feature.

 

[TheLegendary]

Surprised they got this in to this update. Good news for those who care about it.

 

[friskykillface]

I just hope it dont lag, it dont lag on ps4

yeah that was pretty cool since I have so so internet speeds and my bro was online while I was streaming with no problems , just the 10-15 second delay which is ok with me


finally its here B^) I've been wanting stream support for ages. would have been better if I still had dead rising 3

 

[Krilekk]

No, it means they are going all out to bring this stuff before/with Titanfall.

They should've just postponed launch until March 11 which was pretty obviously their original plan until Sony decided to launch earlier than anticipated. But I guess they did profit from lack of PS4s around christmas.

They only announced Twitch first. Sony announced the streaming of games through Ustream first and clearly were in talks with Twitch.

 

[Nyteshade517]

"Hello everyone welcome to my livestream...looks like we have someone joining us"

~second person starts talking~

"XBOX turn off...yes"

 

[Leonsito]

Looks like the X1 finally launches in March.

 

[Backfoggen]

Emotes working app of the forever

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

The xbox one was supposed to launch in march? When was the PS4 supposed to?

 

[EagleEyes]

Microsoft is stepping to the plate and getting things done. Now we need Sony to step up and get some of the things they promised like suspend/resume as I use that all the time on X1 and its a nice feature indeed.

 

[Interfectum]

 

[twobear]

Well thankfully they finally caught up here, hopefully MS running to catch up with features Sony adds isn't going to be the story of this generation though.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Is Xbone version of Playroom coming soon?

Doubt it. Twitch had a fit with all the non gaming streams on the ps4.

Unless ms announces upstream support, which seems unlikely.

 

[chubigans]

Respawn must be feeling the pressure. Hope there's a 'making of' somewhere down the line.

There is. The Final Hours of Titanfall. It's gonna be great.

 

[Skilotonn]

This comes out in two weeks - why would it not look like the picture shown?

If you find that they look even, that's great - I'm not going to argue opinions with you or anyone else.

They only announced Twitch first. Sony announced the streaming of games through Ustream first and clearly were in talks with Twitch.

I never mentioned streaming in general, I'm talking specifically about Twitch, like the topic is about. I watched all of the announcements for all of the console makers and I knew Ustream was the first stream deal announced already.

 

[pixlexic]

Is rather have screen shot functionality that uploads to skydrive but this is cool to I guess.

 

[jim2011]

That sounds super easy to implement. I'd bet on it coming soon.

New Information:

Only with Twitch on Xbox One can you broadcast and watch your favorite games live by simply saying “Xbox, Broadcast.” Once you’re done broadcasting, you can use Twitch to watch the games you love, chat with the players you follow, or even join a broadcaster’s game. Xbox One is the only next-gen console that allows you to archive your Twitch broadcasts and view live Twitch streams regardless of their original source.

Thanks to Kinect, Xbox One owners that have completed a one-time setup of their Twitch account can begin live streaming their game of choice simply by saying "Xbox, Broadcast" at any point during their time playing it. Kinect also allows you to easily include your picture-in-picture video feed and audio commentary along with the game broadcast, making it the perfect way to connect with your friends and followers. Xbox One's Twitch app is a great way to meet new friends, too, as you'll be able to view the gamer card of anyone streaming from Xbox One and begin following them.



Your Twitch activity will appear right in the friends app and activity feed of your followers, giving everyone a real-time update on what you're broadcasting or watching. You can even set up notifications for a heads-up when one of your favorites begins broadcasting. During the broadcast, broadcasters and viewers will be able to interact (viewers can post comments in the chat stream, while the broadcaster verbally responds or assigns a moderator to keep chat running smoothly while they're busy playing). Xbox One is the only next-gen console offering a complete Twitch chat experience, offering 10 lines in the chat stream and allowing viewers to choose their name color and post emoticons. As an added bonus, broadcasters can invite friends into a private party from the chat stream, allowing them to voice chat outside of the broadcast.



In addition to the ability to use Kinect's voice commands to begin (and finish!) broadcasting, a number of other special features make the Twitch experience on Xbox One a unique one. You'll have access to the all of the live broadcasts, as well as exclusive content. Unlike other Twitch console experiences, you can also broadcast a full-screen view of the game you're playing or use an on-screen viewer indicator to keep an eye on how popular your live broadcast is. You can even earn Media Achievements just by spectating as you normally would or, we hope, by checking out any of the Xbox One games you haven't seen before.

The best part of the first truly next-gen Twitch experience coming to Xbox One is that it will be here in time for the release of "Titanfall" on March 11. It's fitting that the first truly next-gen multiplayer game will be making a Titan-sized splash on the first truly next-gen Twitch experience.

 

[Valtýr]

great, now Twitch will start sucking even worse.

 

[Alan Smithee]

While we're on the subject of Titanfall and Twitch I tried streaming the beta while I was on PC but it was weird, it would show the menus but nothing else, no game footage, at least from the Twitch archive footage. I asked r/titanfall and got zeroed immediately, seriously fuck reddit sometimes

 

[Pjsprojects]

So does this update include a snap shot feature?

Would be great for the console screen pic thread.

 

[mrklaw]

Only with Twitch on Xbox One can you broadcast and watch your favorite games live by simply saying “Xbox, Broadcast.”

I hate the way PR just has to try and make things sound exclusive. Sure, Xbox one is the only way to broadcast via twitch by saying 'Xbox broadcast'. On the PS4 you press the share button that is right there. On the PC you do something else.

Archiving streams is pretty good though, as is this

Offering 10 lines in the chat stream and allowing viewers to choose their name color and post emoticons. As an added bonus, broadcasters can invite friends into a private party from the chat stream, allowing them to voice chat outside of the broadcast.

 

[Marvel]

Now Xbox gamers can be told to "Die" over and over like I get when I stream on PS4.

 

[Nothing1016]

I wish Dark Souls 2 was next gen.. I'd love to watch people die

 

[Backfoggen]

Xbox One is the only next-gen console that allows you to archive your Twitch broadcasts

Cool. Could record pretty long sessions this way.

 

[Alan Smithee]

Looks like the X1 finally launches in March.

You're not early adopters you're beta testers!

New Information:

Sounds really really good.

 

[Hyunickel]

"Unlike other Twitch console experiences, you can also broadcast a full-screen view of the game you're playing or use an on-screen viewer indicator to keep an eye on how popular your live broadcast is."

This!!!

 

[RulkezX]

This is pretty good news. One of my favourite PS4 features is going into the broadcasting section and watching some games being played before a purchase.

It's probably going to be just as huge on X1

 

[DREYDUS]

lol Twitch.tv about to implode even more now.

 

[abracadaver]

Can you stream without snapping ?

 

[Hyunickel]

Can you stream without snapping ?

This seems to indicated so:

"Unlike other Twitch console experiences, you can also broadcast a full-screen view of the game you're playing or use an on-screen viewer indicator to keep an eye on how popular your live broadcast is."

 

[madmackem]

I use it all the time on ps4 play a game watch netflix come back to game resume.

You can stream full screen on ps4?.

 

[NemesisPrime]

I'm not saying it isn't correct, I'd just like more information than something that on the surface sounds like a PR comment.

Twitch on Xbox One has at least one feature unavailable on PlayStation 4: the ability to archive streams right from the console.

It's complete integration," Shear says. "It's exciting because we've never had the ability to broadcast from a console like this with such a deep level of integration. The concept of being able to join a broadcasters' party is really cool, and it's another step in the direction of interacting more closely with broadcasters."

 

[LiK]

So Titanfall and Twitch is coming out the same day on Xbox One. XBL better not crap out.

And Playstation 4 has at least one feature unavailable on Xbox One as far as I can tell. The ability to tell people to die definitively in Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition.

 

[Penguins&PolarBears]

Broadcasting should be a good way aside from Upload Studio to get new followers on Xbox Live.

Now where is that HBO Go app? Hopefully in time for Game of Thrones.
