Man, you really won't rest until you get that screenshot feature. Will you?
I wonder if MS is going to make it where you can view yourself full screen. Seeing how the playroom is so popular on PS4.
I wouldn't say they this is an attempt to turn things around, they promised this from before launch.
More streaming services. Nico Nico streaming is coming to PS4 (for Japan at least)
Hope so. The rumor of the party system not being fixed has me paranoid.

I always thought that was a privacy decision. I'd be fine with them implementing party chat though.
And yeah, you can join a person's game via their stream, misinformation in OP.
Good that Xbone is finally getting this, that mockup seems to have the Twitch and camera info take up a lot of space, compared to what I remember on PS4. Having the comments on the bottom of the screen makes more sense since you already have black bars. Eliminate the bars and put the text down there, shrink the camera a little so you have more playable real estate.

The screenshot at 0:28 seems to confirm that I'll be able to access my Following list. This was sorely missing in the first release.
So Twitch doesn't like that Sony is trying to improve their system by providing more services to use? Haha. Sorry, iceatcs, you're looking too much into it.
Twitch has been very successful on PS4-

Ustream, or any other streaming service haven't, and won't, affect that.
Sorry, i misunderstood your point.
Yes, Twitch is happy with PS4 streamers and i don't think they are affected for more streaming options.
It's good to have options.

You said Twitch don't give a shit about Sony and Ustream, then why is that Twitch sudden support for PS4 streaming service after Sony and Ustream partnership?
Twitch want all the viewers as many as possible but unfortunately for them on PS4 because there is alternate streamers that Twitch don't want it happen. Twitch of course more happy with MS plan than Sony plan.
Very true. It's just the timing is all so perfect. Anyways I'm excited. Can't wait to have like 3 viewers being all hyped.

No. I said Twitch doesn't care that Sony uses Ustream. They're getting paid either way.
I'm sure Twitch support isn't because of Ustream. These deals are planned way before we even hear about them.
Like i posted above-
http://blog.twitch.tv/2014/01/playstation-4-broadcasting-continues-to-grow-on-twitch/
That happened even with Ustream as another option. Twitch is more popular than Ustream. Ustream being on PS4 doesn't affect Twitch use at all.
I'd say Twitch is happy with both companies. Now it will become even more popular than it already is.
Much better than the PS4's. Which i expected to happen. I don't get why Sony still doesn't understand software yet. Wouldn't it be better to have the interface look something like the Twitch website? MS gets it.

I think just being able to log in and see your favorites and to have chat while watching a stream is my favorite part of this. Hopefully getting the patch, the twitch update and Titanfall all on the same day won't wreak havoc.

I personally don't care for the party joining feature. I'll have to see it functional before I consider using it, but yea. This won't end well, methinks.
I'm interested to see how stuff like this is handled as well.
I don't like how the PS4 throws a large black (censor) bar over game invite/friend request notifications for example, it should just not display those notifications on the stream at all. Hopefully they come up with a more elegant solution to this kind of thing.

Feature parity is nice. I hope ps4 also has some type of big firmware update coming soon now that its done launching in pretty much all the big regions. They've been a little stagnant on that front.

Looks cool. Looks like twitch which is kind of the point. Not really feeling the Live with playstation UI
Hopefully this puts a fire under some ass and Sony gets off its ass and starts adding stuff and Twitch gets cracking on a dedicated Twitch viewer. (have they ever even said that would be coming?)

You're talking about a Twitch app? I never heard anything about one coming to PS4. It needs one badly. Being able to only watch PS4 streams doesn't make any sense.
Don't look forward to Sony adding anything to improve Twitch. They're not good at these things. The level of integration and features that the XB1 Twitch has is something the PS4 is probably never going to match.
Geoff Keighley has already said he's doing a "The Final Hours of Titanfall", and those are always good.

The comments on that youtube page about sony ponyism? What sort of made up trolling device is this? Do these people not see how ridiculous they sound themselves?
The twitch app does look way better. Ps4 version needs Kappa faces bad

Yea it took me a few seconds to realize that it was supposed to be an insult. It doesn't even make any sense.

Yeah, I don't like to play with the grey bar either. When I do stream I usually have it on fullscreen with the comments and stuff pulled up on my phone or ipad.

Microsoft is getting cocky again. 
Xbox One Twitch livestreaming dated - less "limiting" than PS4 app, says MS

You can go full screen on ps4 too.
Yea, but I want to interact with my viewers, and having my phone next to me, not only drains the battery fast, but then i have to look away from the game constantly.
Its just not ideal.

Judges? BUZZZZ!!!!!
Nice try. they went all out by listening to thier customers, making strides for party chat and other UI issues prior to the launch of a very party oriented game. In addition they added and improved upon a feature that the PS4 has had since launch. lol.

From the article on news.xbox.com, "You can even earn Media Achievements just by ....... checking out any of the Xbox One games you haven't seen before."
If Twitch don't have an achievement called "Have you seen Titanfall?", then that's a disappointment and a missed opportunity.

It would be the same on Xbox One. You either see the chat or go full screen on both platforms, no?
