No firmware update needed for video capturing and youtube uploading.

According to Al de Leon @ PS Blog, PS3 already has the feature to capture videos and upload it to youtube, its up to the dev's to implement it:
This is a comment's reply made by Al de Leon -
"This firmware update applies to screenshots only. The PS3 already has the capability to capture videos and upload them to YouTube. Developers are starting to incorporate this into their games, such as PixelJunk Eden."

Well i already knew this. The thing is sony devs aren't really doing it. Resistance 2 and KZ2 should have it but don't at least not announced.

If the 1st party isn't using it, the 3rd party won't do it and then its just a useless feature. It would be a huge feature for killzone 2 or resistance 2 though. In fact would be a huge feature if it was available for ALL games and not just up to devs to implement if they like

[UltimateIdiot911]

Yeah, I know there is this japanese game with it and same with PixelJunk Eden. It's a cool feature but I look forward to In-game screenshot. All those bonus artwork unlocks or neat pics during credit will now be background instead of these crappy cam shots.
I love those artwork at the end of Disgaea 3 and so hope in game screenshot is implemented in this game.

[sonarus]

Yea but whats the point if devs don't use it. Devs are lazy and they won't do it unless they have to. Most multiplat devs won't bother since 360 doesn't have the feature no point playing favourites. Only way 3rd party will do it is if sony does it and shows how successful it is

[uie4rhig]

i read somewhere that kz2 would use a recording feature similar to the one found in Halo3 but it would also have a upload to youtube feature... might be wrong but i think i read it somewhere.. ill try to have a look around..

EDIT: just noticed that that information was a reply to my question xD yay :D :P lol

[eric100]

Just awesome

[INehalemEXI]

Warhawk needs Screen cap feature. That would make my day.

[WildArmed]

they'll jump on it.. just like the trophies

[INehalemEXI]

Indeed.

[Raoh]

which reminds me..

the eyecreate software needs an update... it should be used more but needs more tweaks and add ons..

screen anbd video grabs are exactly what it needs...

[CaptainHowdy]

wishful thinking, but i would luv some in Heavenly Sword

Copy and pasted by the PS Blog:

In-game Screenshots - this tool will allow everyone to capture, share and in other words, immortalize their favorite gameplay moments. "This will be supported on a game by game basis." Please check back to find out which games will support this feature.

Note: This will be supported on a game by game basis.

That basically states we won't see it for all games, obviously. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

i expect that statement for most implimentations this generation. I am almost positive it will be mandatory next generation but I doubt sony will throw certain developers under the bus by making them do it without the proper tools. Next gen it will be mandatory though.

[ape007]

when does FM 2.5 releases

[Oner]

Hopefully/most likely today, but it could be next week.

[gauravraw]

lol! Imagine what will happen to the framerate if video capturing is enabled in GTA IV. Sorry to say this but current consoles cannot just record videos like we do in PC via Fraps.

So don't even think of Resistance 2, Killzone 2 developers even considering this feature. Might be possible for Arcade games though.

[FantasyStar]

Devs would probably be pissed maybe.....I dunno. What's the point of adding features to the PS3 if only a handful of devs take advantage of it?

[Lionsguard]

LBP needs video capture.

[Lord_Ash]

The game that really needs this feature is Littlebigplanet

[HairyBrownSack]

yes., this is exactly what youtube needs. more UN-edited n00b videos from a bunch of droid playstationers.

[PopEmUp]

so we all can see more xbot owning and talking to them self

[Bren86]

I hate all this "up to the developers crap"

Yeah they and fanboys can boast the ps3 has screen shot, video recording/uploading and custom soundtracks but really it doesn't do any of that, its all half a job.

So everyone getting excited about the screenshot feature in the next update well goodluck with that because I bet you won't get to use it untill a crap game like pizeljunk will implement it. We won't see any of these features on good games like GTA.

[robotnik]

LBP could use some youtube love...

[Reshun]

"Basically, it's up to the developers."

As if it'll happen any sooner.. most of the devs have barely even began to adapt the trophy system moreover the video capturing feature were hardly even introduced other than about 2 titles. I honestly had big hype for the screen capture add-on but how is this going to be any different than the already-implemented trophy/video capturing feature when most of the devs don't bother to play with the given tools?

[jkhan]

I am assuming R2, LBP and Socom will be implementing this feature, if not out of the box then via patches.

[Jamegohanssj5]

Sony should make this and in game music mandatory for all games beginning in 2009.

TGSI

[zonetrooper5]

Damn, another featured copied from Halo?

Come on Sony be innovative for once.
