Sony Integrates YouTube API for PS3

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the even-more-guitar-hero-videos dept.

Sony has announced the inclusion of the YouTube API to allow game developers to offer video uploading as an integrated part of their games. The only game that seems to be taking advantage of this so far is Mainichi Issho, a free Japanese PSN game.

    Of course, this might also lead to even greater levels of worthless game footage uploaded to youtube. At least there was a slight technical knowledge required to capture the video, then encode and upload. Now literally anyone can do it.

    I don't think this elitism is really warranted. The fact that somebody has the equipment and knowledge to capture console gameplay videos doesn't mean their videos will be any good. Conversely, someone who can make killer demo videos doesn't really need to know jack about setting up capture equipment or video compression techniques.
