Google+ integration with Youtube

Happy Friday everybody!

First off, I don't like to post rants, but seriously, WTF YouTube?  If I don't use my personal page on YouTube I can't comment...ON ANYTHING!  My youtube page isn't big enough for me not to comment on comments, so this is extremely frustrating!  I don't want to go fully indepth, so let me ask you guys: What do you think about the Google+ mandatory integration with YouTube?  Do you like it, or hate it?

PlayStation Vita System Update 3.00

Well, this is just a day for All Things PlayStation, isn't it?  Following my post of the PlayStation 4 1.50 update, Sony's also prepping an update for the Vita to help connect-ability between the company's PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita.  This update, taken from Sony's blog (with the link below for reference), outlines the upcoming system update.

 

 

 

PS4 Link

The PS4 Link app has been added to the PS Vita system’s home screen. With this application, you can use your PS Vita to remotely control a PS4 system, and play a range of PS4 games on your PS Vita screen. When you’re playing a game on PS4 that supports second screen features, you can also display information from that game on your PS Vita and use it as a second screen.

Parental Controls

The Parental Controls application has been added to the home screen. You can now manage the duration of game play, and the use of games and videos that have parental controls. You can also control access to certain areas of the system, including the use of the Internet browser and Location Data.

Photos

ŸA Panoramic Camera setting has been added. You can now take panoramic photos on PS Vita, and look around the photo by using the PS Vita’s built-in motion sensor.

Friends

The application layout for Friends has been improved. There are now four tabs:

• Find Player on PSN
• Friends
• Friend Requests
• Players Blocked

 

Messages

The Group Messaging application name and icon have been changed to Messages. The application layout has also been improved, and you can now send and receive messages with friends and players on PS4 or on mobile devices installed with PlayStation App.

Party

The icon for the Party application has been changed. You can now voice chat and text chat with friends and players on PS4.

Email

You can now sync the contacts saved in your email account from services including Gmail and Yahoo! Mail. To sync your contacts, select Contact List > Options > [CardDAV Settings] > [Add CardDAV Account], and then follow the screens.

Content Manager

You can now use Wi-Fi to connect your PS Vita to a PS3, and transfer data between them. Your PS Vita and PS3 must be connected within the same network.‎ Also, to use this feature, the system software of the PS3 you’re using must be version 4.50 or later.

PS3 Remote Play

The Remote Play application name and icon have been changed to PS3 Remote Play.

Settings

You can now download future system software updates automatically.

Trophies

You can now display Trophies of PS4 software on your PS Vita. Rarity of the trophy cannot be displayed.

What do you think of the update?  Continue the conversation in the comments section below!

Playstation 4 Update 1.50

Sony's PlayStation 4, releases on Friday, November 15, 2013.

Good Tuesday everyone!  This is a special blog post by me since I don't ever post on a Tuesday lol.  In case you don't follow Sony's upcoming console, PlayStation 4, I've got news for you.  They're already planning a new update.  That's right: PlayStation 4 is going from 1.0 to not 1.1 or 1.2, they're going to 1.-freakin'-5!  This massive update - which is only 300 MB in size, mind you - unlocks the console for multiplayer and BD playback capability.  Below is the features that will be installed via update, straight from the PlayStation Blog.  I'll have the link down below for anyone wanting to see it themselves.

• Remote Play
  Users will be able to access PS4 titles displayed on their living room TVs and play them on a PS Vita system over Wi-Fi networks by using PS4 Link (Depending on network environment or titles, remote play performance may vary outside of the home). We anticipate that most PS4 titles will be playable on the PS Vita system through Remote Play. The latest PS Vita system software version, to be released soon, will be required to use PS4 Link.


• Second Screen
  Users can use the PS4 Link application for the PS Vita system, and PlayStation App for iPhone, iPad, and Android-based smartphones and tablets, to use these devices as second screens in supported titles. PlayStation App has the ability to enable users to interact with games with their mobiles devices. For example on The Playroom, a title pre-installed in all PS4 systems that requires PlayStation Camera, users can draw pictures on their mobile device screens and flick them towards the TV. The images then appear as a 3D object within the game.


• Record, take screenshots, and upload gameplay effortlessly
  The PS4 system provides dedicated, “always on” video encoding systems that enables seamless uploading of gameplay. Users can share their epic triumphs by simply hitting the Share button on DualShock 4, take screenshots or scan through the last 15 minutes of gameplay, tag it and return to the game—the video uploads as the user plays. At the PS4 system’s launch in North America, users will be able to share their images and videos with friends on Facebook and screenshots with followers on Twitter, though users will need to sign up for individual accounts to use Facebook and Twitter.


• Broadcast and spectate gameplay
  The PS4 system also enhances social spectating by enabling users to broadcast their gameplay in real-time to game fans around the globe, using Ustream and Twitch live internet streaming services (users will need to sign up for individual accounts to use Ustream and Twitch). There are two ways for users to view live broadcasts. First, the Live from PlayStation application on PS4 aggregates streams from all PlayStation users. Second, users can spectate friends’ PS4 gameplay from PCs, and applications such as Ustream, Twitch, and browsers, which are installed on their mobile devices. These applications can be easily started up via PlayStation App, and users can also use these applications to post comments to gameplay broadcasts. Furthermore, users with PlayStation Camera can stream camera images and microphone sounds along with their live gameplay broadcast.


• Play as you download
  This feature enables users to play supported digital titles as they are being downloaded. The time it takes to begin playing will vary depending on game data size and network environments, and not all titles will support this feature When a game is purchased, users can start playing after PS4 downloads a portion of the data, while the rest of the game is downloaded in the background during actual gameplay. Games may be downloaded in stand-by mode.


• Multi log-in
  A maximum of four users can log-in to a single PS4 system simultaneously. These players can use their own save data to play games, and also earn trophies on their own Sony Entertainment Network accounts even when playing a multiplayer game together on a single PS4 system.


• Party (Voice chat)
  By using the Mono Headset bundled with the PS4 system, users will be able to chat with up to eight friends enjoying different applications or games. Furthermore, users can use Party to chat between PS4 and PS Vita systems.


• Face recognition and voice commands
  Users with PlayStation Camera will be able to register their facial image onto their PS4 system, and login to their system using facial recognition instead of DualShock 4. Furthermore, users can use either the microphone of the Mono Head set connected to DualShock 4, or PlayStation Camera to navigate through the PS4 home screen (PlayStation Dynamic Menu) with voice commands to start up games and shutdown the system, among other features; please refer to PS4’s online manual for recognizable voice commands.


• Background music player
  Users can enjoy gameplay while listening to music in the background with Music Unlimited, a cloud-based digital music service. Users can also voice chat with friends while listening to music. Learn more about Music Unlimited here.


• Online Multiplayer
  PlayStation Plus members will be able to play PS4 titles online with other players via the network. PS Plus makes it easy for members to join available online multiplayer matches in a variety of ways, including the ability to easily join a game from a live stream broadcast or Party voice chats.


• Blu-ray Disc and DVD player
  Users can enjoy not only gaming on their PS4 system, but also Blu-ray and DVD video contents. When using for the first time, users must connect to the internet to activate this feature.

Some features will not be available at launch, such as “suspend/resume mode” which is a feature that keeps the PS4 system in a low power state and promptly takes users back to their game.

Assassin's Creed IV, Saints Row and more!

Thank God It's Friday!

Since it's Friday, it's time for another update via blog from me!  Remember to follow my blog and also go to my YouTube channel, because this post pertains directly to that!


Beyond: Two Souls
My computer was being dumb and for some reason, it stopped recording at one point during the Dragon Base mission.  I was able to record the rest of the game, but I'm currently replaying the game to get to that point.  Apparently, when you start a new game, you lose all chapters lol.  I'll have that uploaded in a couple of weeks!  Promise!

Saints Row IV
I started recording Saints Row IV a couple weeks ago.  Things are going pretty well with SR:IV.  I don't have a backlog of videos and commentary to cut, my character is getting to be pretty strong, and I'm having fun messing around off-camera.  I'll start recording SR:IV after I get caught up on Assassin's Creed 4.

Assassin's Creed 4
It hasn't been viewed on my channel yet, but I *do* have Assassin's Creed 4.  I recorded a helluva lot of footage and currently am bogged down with that.  Just make sure you guys look for it in the near future!  The playlist is now up!  Check it out here: Assassin's Creed Playlist

Watch_Dogs Delayed!!! My Thoughts

Watch_Dogs has been delayed as per October 15th, 2013.  I can honestly say that Watch_Dogs was my most anticipated launch title for next-gen.  Using your cell phone to hack virtually anything?  An anti-hero who will do anything he can to reach the endgame?  Something fresh to add to the plate?  Ubisoft, take my money!!

I was so hotly anticipating this title, that I even pre-ordered the PS4 Watch_Dogs bundle from Amazon.  Now, I don't plan to cancel my pre-order from Amazon despite this news.  I enjoy gaming on the PlayStation brand, and this isn't a deal breaker for me.  I am, however, disappointed that Ubisoft opted to push this game and also The Crew (another great game I was anticipating) "deep into 2014."  Something tells me it'll release around the July or August date, just in time for college to start back up.  However, Ubisoft said that they want to polish the game up some more, so if they'll make an already gorgeous game even more gorgeous, I am all for it!  Ubisoft, I can wait a couple more months, but please make it worth it!  I'm excited to play your game!  They have my support by delaying the game, as I'm still going to play it despite the delay.  Who knows?  They might be able to start working on Watch_Dogs 2 when they start to get done polishing the game!

While I wont be playing in the beautiful Watch_Dogs version of Chicago, I still can't wait for when it releases, as I'll probably get it Day 1.

Playstation System Update "4.50" is Out Now

Sony releases an update geared toward the now-official PSN

Good morning everybody!

Some features have been revised in the new update for the Playstation 3.
I'll quote it straight from the update screen so there's no confusion.

1. "You can now set for each game whether to show trophies.  Select a game from [PSN] > [Trophy Collection], and then select [Privacy Settings] from the options menu to adjust settings."
2. ""PlayStation Network" is now "PSN".  In accordance with this change, the [PlayStation Network] category has been renamed [PSN]

I could see how the trophy thing could work out, but I have no idea why they shortened PlayStation Network to PSN.  Maybe it's because they've decided to make the abbreviation official?

What're your thoughts on update 4.50?  Should they have done it, or shouldn't they have?  Continue the conversation in the comments below!

Grand Theft Auto V Live Commentary in the Works!

Good afternoon everybody!  I'd like to announce that since I got the Turtle Beach PX22s, and with a little tinkering with my Roxio Gamecap Pro HD, I'm able to successfully do live commentary!  Now, I'm currently rendering a backlog of videos and will try to have that up within the next couple days, but look out for parts 49 and 50 for the first two live commentaries of my walkthrough!  I'll make another post when I successfully upload them!  Watch my other videos here!

Uncharted Drake's Fortune Completed!

Hey guys, just would like to let you all know, my first gameplay series: Uncharted Drake's Fortune, is now done and being cropped and uploaded to Youtube!  The reason I chose Uncharted and not something much newer is so that I can do a quick quality test on this and optimize the settings to where they need to be.  You can go to the playlist for Uncharted at this link: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Playlist.  I'm playing Battlefield 3 next and am going to start uploading that as well once I start to cut the footage!  Thanks everyone! Don't forget to subscribe to my videos as a show of support!
