I remember watching a video from a youtuber BroKenGaMezHD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYt-L9a9VD4Think the video was about how the PS4 would have recording and sharing features. It was very doubtful that the PS4 would have such a function ( I also Doubted that they would show the PS4 on the 20th look were that got me) but it turns out that PS4 does have thoese features and I feel that this will bring an absolute storm upon the gaming community. Think of all the absolute garbage gameplay video's you've seen online, how pointless they were, how they were an absolute waste of your time. For people to commit such a crime they need some cheap camera for at least $30, Now think of all the garbage you will see with the PS4's share button that just ANY PERSON can use! It's a pretty scary thought, but with that share button it will be possible for people to make more pointless video's and send them onto the internet. Look at people like PewDiePie or IJustine although they must have expensive recording sets, their video's get so many views when they put so little effort into them.
These two "video makers" put so little effort in their videos and get so many views off of people, how is that fair?
The system will be unreasonably more expensive. The recording features do not seem to be basic features, it will definitely put a bigger hole in all over our pockets, I won't be a hypocrite I can see myself using the share button and maybe make my own lets play channel, but I would rather have the system cheaper than to have the share functions. Of course some good can come from this, there actually are people who do lets plays and commentaries because they love the game, not just for money. People who are actually respectable like AVGN, Chuggaconroy, Jontron, Egoraptor, Yuriowind to name a few. In the long Run i just see this feature being abused so much, I didn't get to watch the complete livestream so if there is anything I left out please feel free to tell me.
