To be fair, it's pretty natural to assume that if it could be turned off, it would be settings>notifications... but that's not where it is. I had no idea until this thread that there was a separate menu for share notifications.

Indeed. I probably would not have thought to look there, especially when I've never done anything involved with the Share system, so I wouldn't have stumbled on it. My instinct would be to look at notification settings.

It didn't particularly bother me in Arkham Knight, but I'll happily disable that. Good to know.

 

[Muffdraul]

I don't record either and it gives me the message.

Same here, which is a big part of the reason it's so annoying to me.

 

[N30RYU]

Ground Zeroes does this too, it is annoying. You bought the game, you should be able to do what you want even if it is being a spoilering asshole people hate.

Buy a capture card

Buy a capture card

I wasn't recording. I am quite mediocre at games and any footage I made would be boring.

 

[Neuromancer]

I just wish the system wouldn't capture the "you've taken a photo" icon when you're trying to take rapid screenshots

What happens to me is I take one screenshot (pressing the share button once - easy screenshot setting), which is fine, but when I hold the share button and go to share screenshot it always takes a screenshot of that menu and then it thinks that's the screenshot I want to share. It's very strange.

 

[On Demand]

I haven't gotten far in AK to see that. Thanks to this thread i'm turning notifications off next time i play.

 

[sector4]

I get the notice when I'm not recording at all. I'm guessing that's not normal?

Even when you're not recording the console is by default, so you can press share > square and save the last 15 minutes of gameplay.

You can turn it off, correct?

I have the notifications turned off on my system and I haven't seen a single one during my playtime with Batman. I'm 80% done with the story also.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

I swear the weirdest use of that was Type 0. There was a in-story song that was blocked, even in written form. Very confusing.

This one actually has a purpose outside of study. I streamed that scene with a capture card and uploaded it to YouTube. It was flagged for copyright and was muted entirely. When I appealed it the video was blocked from being viewed entirely.

TLDR They blocked it because of copyright issues with licensed music.

 

[Neuromancer]

My favorite use of the notification is when you start up Dargon Age Inquisition and it blocks recording while the game attempts to connect to EA's servers.

 

[Lord Error]

Has anyone verified that this notification can be turned off? I turned it off in Share Settings just as described earlier in the thread, but the notification still comes up all the time in SingStar, where it especially annoying as it comes up every time a song starts and ends.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

two scenes, i believe? this is why it stuck out to me.

like having a SPOILER WARNING in a book. it's silly.

you can turn off all notifications, but i believe you can't just disable certain ones. yet.

Do you broadcast the text of your books in the internet?

Edit: OK, I didnt know that there are promts during the gameplay when you are playing the game.
Seems like I deactivated the option and forgot about it.

1) well discussed before just fix your settings
2) music copyright laws are complicated so not even worth delving into that aspect .

 

[Schlomo]

Thanks for bumping this thread, I didn't know you could turn it off. It annoyed me to no end in certain games.

 

[Lord Error]

1) well discussed before just fix your settings
2) music copyright laws are complicated so not even worth delving into that aspect .

But I did fix the settings. Unless I missed another settings that needs to be changed, I disabled this notification in Share Settings.

 

[Zee-Row]

The Kissing Scene in Final Fantasy X HD is blocked. It annoyed the shit out of me because i liked that scene with the song.

 

[AHindD]

I get the notice when I'm not recording at all. I'm guessing that's not normal?

When you say not recording at all, does that mean you completely disabled the automatic recording of the last 15 minutes of gameplay feature?

Because by default, you are ALWAYS recording.

 

[Nerix]

like the title scene to Inquisition.

Everytime I start the game I am wondering about this. Why you shouldn´t be allowed to capture the fucking title screen...

 

[KORNdoggy]

With so many people out there with their own recording software, it's completely irrelevant.

but opening the possibility up to every PS4 owner increases the chance of it happening by a substantial margin. i mean, of all PS4 owners who actually has capture hardware/software?

 

[Protome]

Everytime I start the game I am wondering about this. Why you shouldn´t be allowed to capture the fucking title screen...

Because it does an EA account check at the start.
They don't want people accidentally broadcasting them putting in their password if they need to login.

That makes sense, thx. But they could just activate the block, if you really have to put in your password (and not if it´s saved and you´re logging in successful).

 

[Protome]

Yeah, true. I wonder if there was some technical reason for not doing it that way because it does seem like it would make sense.

Maybe that check can branch off into different ways, like registering, password checking, or some other account error stuff and the easiest way to stop those from all broadcasting was just to block the whole thing.

 

[mclem]

Also, you can still take screenshots. Which, fair's fair, aren't as spoilery as video, but they're still pretty potentially volatile, and rather strikes me as defeating the point.

I suppose it's the live streaming they're really fearing.

 

[EekumBokum]

Woah, I had no idea you could turn this off. It was ridiculous in AK

 

[Yazuka]

Yes you can.

yeah, you can definitely disable this.

I had totally missed this. Thanks for the heads up. Going to disable it as soon as I get home. I hate the recording blocked pop-up.

 

[Lord Error]

I really hope someone can 100% confirm that this is possible to disable, *and* that the settings to do so actually works on latest firmware. It clearly doesn't work for me - in Singstar at least.

 

[JPS Kai]

Some of the things I've seen have been rather silly when it comes to that.

EA Sports UFC: Can't record any time there's live action video (probably something in their contract)

Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition: Can't record the intro video

Final Fantasy Type-0: Can't record any time the ending song is brought up. This includes when Ace
