Nah it was 720p. The second video on YT was 1080p.
There are 2 vids on YT I thought and the FB upload is 720, the YT was 1080 if I recall, the upload from stage.

It was. The first part anyway. It's been clear since the PS4 reveal in Feb that the 15 min time frame is merely the back date. It's ALWAYS recording the most recent 15 minutes and if you want to record more, you can. I assume the XB1 works the same way but only goes 5 minutes back. People are acting like these are hard caps, and I'm not sure where that's come from.
But the part about exporting to something like FC Pro is new news as far as I can recall
The FB upload was the one from the stage. Youtube upload was after.
True, but I THINK the description of the YouTube video said "uploaded directly from the Playstation 4". Maybe Facebook only allows 720p?
The Facebook video that is there now is actually a different video to the one that was uploaded 'live'

FB indeed only allows 720p. I know this because I ripped the 1080p version from youtube and reuploaded it on my FB to see what res it would be. Don't judge me.
I judge you to be doing god's work.
Damn, I've just used a Youtube downloader to snag all of the direct feed 1080p footage. You're dedicated.
I can't wait for the montages.
I've just watched the youtube video side by side with the stage demo and they are identical.
Also identical to the uncompressed (i.e. has not come out of the x264 encoder) Apple Pro res footage that Digital Foundry analyzed. That footage at the playstation meeting wasn't being rendered in realtime, that video had been pre recorded.
But we already knew that right?
So it's true that it was 'probably" 1080P and was only 720p on facebook due to Facebook's limitation?

15 minutes would be more than fine for most people anyway.
But not fine enough for plenty!
I'm glad to have 15 minutes of automatic capture though. The best sort of thing that happens in a game happens by accident, and when I know I'm recording something on purpose, I feel an odd pressure to get good footage that causes me to screw up more often than not.

Stop posting good PS4 news goddammit!
These aren't the same videos that we had a topic on a couple months ago are they? where they are the same and not from the PS4 upload which left us with pages of Sony lied to us, at which point someone found the actual video that was uploaded from the actual stage demo?
Can you link to the videos?
Why is this important?

Journalists that have their own devices to capture videos for reviews, Lets Play, or something else.
There's no point, I'm insanely wrong on this occasion. Again.

Its possible.
But the capture card is not needed for obtaining the video correct?

Found the vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUjQ4DJXLzw
1080p and "captured straight from the Playstation 4". So facebook is probably just limited to 720p and you can indeed record in 1080p.

Nah, there are 2 videos. The live one from the stage and another one they uploaded later.
i guess my question is can i record Lets Plays with voice audio?
ive been holding off on a capture card for my ps3/360/wii after hearding about the recording features of PS4 and XB1... or should i still get a good HD capture card (to keep record "old school" LP's on the current consoles lol)

If you are just casual about it the features of the consoles should be more than enough. For serious LPs or speedrunning I would get a capture card without a second thought. I have one and it is super useful.

I really hope it works through HDMI. Hate connecting the PS3 with component and having to switch my settings on PS3.
Captured straight from Playstation 4 can still mean captured through a capture card.
If it said shared straight from the PS4, then there would be no doubt.
Yup, it's great. That's exactly what I'm using right now to capture PS3 stuff through HDMI. Capturing The Last Of Us and turning it into a movie for some of the non-gamer people I know IRL. And yes, I know I can find a bunch of these on youtube, but either the quality isn't good, or the editing isn't good, or they're missing some (imo) key moments from the game.
Yup. Blacklight Retribution folks confirmed that vita control mapping is required for certification for a game (just like trophies are with the ps3).
yeah im thinking it would be best anyways... its going to be for all consoles anyways so it would be better for me... thanks!
I asked him a question about it on the livestream that he answered, and I got the impression that he doesn't really know anything about Remote Play, other than it's for Vita and that games will be playable on there.
If it is, though, I'm glad devs thus far seem excited about Remote Play rather than bummed that they have to accommodate it (not that button mapping is some massive ordeal or that it would take away system resources, but still).
Edit: Okay I did some digging and I found this:
VG247 said:
So it is a system level thing, but they are asking to make sure controls are good for Vita.
There were 2 videos on YT and they removed one after the reveal. People were doing comparisons between the FB and YT 2nd upload to show they were the same and it is in 1080p on YT. I remember comparing the 2 in Feb to show that it was 1080p. The first video uploaded was a different play through.
I remember the discussion we had here about the 3 vids as there was confusion about it back then.

So I can start a game, hit share and it will record until I'm done playing? Sweet!

Until your HDD fills up.

Yes, this is what they suggest. In addition, when you start recording, it also saves the previous 15 minutes of gameplay. If it actually works like this, then it would be pretty awesome.

I might actually use that alot.
I have never recorded videos of me playing multiplayer but now when I have an amazing round or two they will be right there to upload.

Indeed. Wish they were selling a TB+ SKU day one.

Erm... incorrect. The KZSF upload was 720p.
The youtube upload was not the one uploaded, it was on the facebook page.

Yes.
Thanks. I've seen that screen before, but for what ever reason I thought you had to be in game.
Nearly all sources state MS saying "debug unit", some added on their own (dev kit).
One of the main differences between dev kits and debug consoles, is that dev kits come with more RAM built in them and developer tools, which allows far more freedom to test. run and apply code for developers. (Other people can go into details about the coding differences, I'm not as knowledgeable about that aspect)
Debug units on the other hand, pack in the exact same hardware as the console, could very well be a retail console with different firmware that enables modes not available on regular retail units that allow developers (and even some review sites) to run unfinished, work in progress games. Useful to see if a game would work properly in the end on retail console hardware.
So yeah, having an Xbox One in your house is not going to be the same as having a $1,000+ dev kit. But most sites are reporting it like that's the case.
