Youtube: Let the Games Begin

Nikhil Chandhok writes,

"Back in March, we launched the new YouTube APIs and Tools, with the goal of making YouTube an open video services platform and available for use by any website, desktop application, or consumer device. Today, we are announcing a new partnership that takes advantage of the YouTube APIs in a new and interesting way.

We are happy to announce that PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3TM) has integrated the YouTube APIs to allow game developers to create games that enable direct upload of in-game video captures to YouTube. This YouTube upload functionality can be incorporated not only into new PS3 game titles, but also existing PS3 titles that have the ability to receive network updates."

Could be one of the reasons why PsHome was delayed,I'm pretty sure a major part of this feature will be integrated in Home

[fork_the_lad]

You could be right

and who is that person on your avatar

[eagle21]

You may be right. This is great news! :)

[BattleAxe]

This is an awesome feature.

[Condoleezza Rice]

It is I,Solid Rice.

[LJWooly]

It's Condoleeza Rice, coolguy. She's been... solidified.

[gambare]

that has some pretty strong logic, and it's not the only reason but all of them are really good ones, now I can't wait for home to be released.

[INehalemEXI]

Yup, we will likely be able to watch replays or tournament footage of MP games in Home Lobby's or appartments With this. I wonder if streaming will ever happen so we could watch Tournaments while in progress too.

Great news, I remember hearing about a recording feature was hopeing it was not just rumor.

[Dmack79]

This is the type of stuff that will make the PS3 last for many years to come. :) So happy to be a PS3 owner!

[eagle21]

to the 360 : "you can't touch this!!" doon doon doon do doont...

[Kain81]

Bubbles for you lol

[Shaka2K6]

The only company that thinks outside the box and innovatives like.no.other.

[Cop_Boy]

cant wait to upload ma crazy game vids ,,, its gonna be freakin cool ,,, now when does this thing hits up ?? lol

[PimpHandHappy]

im looking 4ward to see how ppl use it

i might even get into it when Socom drops....

i think it can really make LBP the biggest thing ever

and yea if it works with HOME it can make HOME a fun place to hang out

[Boldy]

This is a very interesting addition. I wonder if you are viewing youtube on your PS3 it will have a seperate section reserved just for Playstation 3 videos to help sort it out.

[dauden]

You can be absolutely certain that this feature will have it's own section on youtube. Kudos to Sony for thinking of this, and I believe this will be big!

[Kain81]

i hope many games will have this feature

[Boldy]

Well according to that last alternative source I put up, the first game that will use it will be Mainichi Issho.

[Mr_Kuwabara]

Yeah, it already does. You can check a couple of tested videos. The quality is way better since it was a direct feed video straight from the hard disc, not some wannabe camera guy shaking the damn camera while playing the game.

[name]

Come on socom/mgs4...add this now.

[Ri0tSquad]

And it's possible for old games to receive an update to add this. I'm more then sure that any game released before firmware 2.30 can use this feature. 2.30 give back developers memory for games.

Sony isn't lying. The PS3 really IS future proof.

[Lew_Ijgee]

This could transmute SingStar into Gold.

[Foliage]

Other music games will also benefit from this, Rock Band/GH for example.

Singstar will be great though, I can remember some incredibly funny matches that were just made for youtube.

[supahbad]

im glad SONY promised something and followed through relatively fast. no more of that SONY wont deliver crap. (hopefully)

[Bigrhyno]

I hope they add this to hot shots golf. I have been wanting to upload some of my sick shots, but I don't have a capture card :(.

[Foliage]

This would be awesome for a game like Little Big Planet, or GTA 4. Heck even GOW3 or GT.

[jamesrocks3147]

this will be amazzin for GTA 4 and racing games and new games like killzone and resistance and of course COD4, online mulitplayer games good for glitches and stuff to thats well ace like GTA 4 show how good you can do stuff or secret things in better/good quality str8 onto your hard drive on your ps3 or uploaded to youtube!!!!

[Diabloz]

YAY! Cant wait to upload crazy pwnage vids :D

[Somnus]

This has been executed perfectly. Sony setting up their own service would have been stupid. Allowing the industry expert to do it was a great decision.

[Rockwallaby]

yeah, I wish they had gone to mozilla for the browser

[clintos59]

I cant wait to do this with all my games and show people just how good I am at games owning u fools online, lol. Get ready to get tea bagged my fellow ps3 friends, lol. This is going to be soo sick. :)

[pwnsause]

im pretty sure that Resistance 2 might incorporate this

[ps3FTW]

Wow that's is awesome.I hope it's soon.

[zapass]

.

[Skerj]

I want some fighting game implementation man, think of how easy it would be to record and export for combo showcases and match replays? Capcom, redeem yourself and port Tatsunoko vs Capcom to PS3 with this functionality.

[Ri0tSquad]

Tekken 6 using this feature.

[gambare]

"This YouTube upload functionality can be incorporated not only into new PS3 game titles, but also existing PS3 titles that have the ability to receive network updates"

WOW! that means when LBP is launched we can upload ingame youtube videos. even better, we can show the frags in the 30vs30 battlefield of R2 and even more.

[timestoby]

sounds like a good idea.god,i can see it now.youtube flooded with useless in game videos lol

[Rockwallaby]

At least it will put a stop to the dodgy shaky cam crap we see now

[ice_prophecy]

I have to agree with you rockwallaby

[Says you]

Putting its games direct at youtube.

[heyheyhey]

sweet

now i can spam Youtube with videos of me jumping out of helicopters at 30,000 feet in GTA4 :)

[Jim Crowslaw]

i wholeheartedly agree wit u. i really hope theres a filter system

[lil Titan]

WATCHABLE WALKTHROUGH'S

[Clinton514]

Now that's progressive to this generation. Sony could have easily done this with their own video sharing services but did the right thing by partnering with the most popular out there.

[Alcohog]

Thats so sweet that it can be added to existing games via patch!

[Percy]

If you are real quite you can hear die hard xbox fans crying every where.

[poopsack]

now all i can ask for to sony is that they make this a part of the ps3 so it can be used in all games not only the ones where devs arent lazy and decide to implement it.

Imagine you press the PS button and the option for Playstation Rewind appears, the last 10 minutes are there for you to do as you like with it and then when your done you upload it to youtube with some badass quality. yeah I just came.

[spectyre]

Killzone 2's happy accidents comes to mind.

[DJ]

Those game have so many "oh sh*t" moments, they deserve to be immortalized somehow. I wonder if they'll let you edit your videos prior to uploading though. Maybe that's asking too much, but I'd love to have a Final Cut style application on the PS3 just for this feature (oh, and for PS Eye).

[krauler]

"... we launched the new YouTube APIs and Tools, with the goal of making YouTube an open video services platform and available for use by any website, desktop application, or consumer device"

So this means any game console company could implement this youtube API. I guess it would be just a matter of time.

[DiLeCtioN]

now i can save money and make my montages easily
