[h=1]Next PlayStation 4 Firmware Update Brings Great Improvements to its Share Feature[/h]
Some of its features include the ability to export videos/screenshots and record gameplay via an external device.
Sony shared some details on the next firmware update for PlayStation 4. The system update, which is due "in the upcoming weeks," will greatly enhance the Share function of the PS4 including the ability to turn HDCP off, an option that will finally allow users to record gameplay without having to use the system's Share button.
"This update will add an HDCP off option for capturing gameplay via HDMI, a feature we’ve previously said would come after launch," Sony's Scott McCarthy said. "We recognize that some gamers want to record and share longer clips of their gameplay sessions, and we’re excited to deliver this option with PS4."
Players who will still rely on the Share button will now be able to edit their videos with a newly added "rich video editor" that can be used to personalize gameplay videos. In addition, screenshots and videos can now be saved and exported to a USB drive. In its current state, the PS4 only allows videos and screenshots to be saved on the system's internal HDD and can only be shared by Twitter, Facebook, Twitch, and Ustream.
Sony will also be working with Twitch and Ustream to increase the quality of live broadcast streams by upgrading video to 720p resolution as part of a future system update. Also coming is the ability to archive Twitch broadcasts.
Sony says there's a lot more coming in the update and to stay tuned for more details.
