DANGERMAN Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I've watched Ed play some COD a couple of times today. He'll be delighted to know that in one of the matches he came top, and the other, which he's currently broadcasting, I'm typing this so missed the results page, but he seemed to be doing well. (Fake edit: I didn't see that unkillable guys name Ed, not sure what was going on) PS4 twitch seems a bit grainy, I think I remember reading that the xbox version has a higher bitrate, and maybe an ironically higher resolution too. My card has a feature where if you sign up to Twitch you can set it to stream pretty much at the press of a button (press of 2 to be accurate), it works pretty well. Seems to be 30fps and it's 720p, which is less than you play at on pc but given that you're streaming it, it's for the best. It also doesn't impact too badly on the performance in-game, although when I was playing Batman it did seem to run slower with twitch. anyway, as the PS4, xbox one, and PC all have Twitch now, with android and iphone getting it soon, and some games even having it built it, I thought it might not be the worst idea to have a thread? and on that note, I got sent a code for Daylight, I'll be streaming that late tomorrow morning if anyone's interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I want to see Ed running in a squad on BF4 with people that know what they're doing so he can learn not to be that guy that's doing his own thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Hey man, I've always been a lone soldier. I seem to hold my own on Battlefield 4, amazingly. I've only recently got a headset that I can use voice chat with, so maybe I'll squad up properly at some point. It seems a few of us here have the game on PS4 now, it's just finding a time when we're all on at the same time, which isn't very often. I'm really liking the Naval map pack. Yeah, I've been back on Call of Duty: Ghosts for the last couple days, as they're re-introduced the latest map pack into its own playlist. I really like a couple of the maps, Containment and BayView. Ignition, the remake of Scrapyard from MW2, is OK,, but I hate Fog. That unkillable dude I came across earlier really bemused me. His name wasn't appearing in the list of players in the game, and I'm not sure any of his shots were registering either. I pumped multiple rounds into him and they just went right through, he must have been in the game somehow though as he was reacting to things that were happening. Very odd. Got my K/D back up to 1.16 tonight, trying to get it higher than sibernet, and am currently even. I've switched on my mic during Ghosts, the wireless 2.0 headset seems to work pretty well. I create a party on the PS4 with just me in it, so my voice will work over Twitch streaming but I won't be heard in the game itself to teammates/in the lobby. I just ramble on, most of the time not saying much at all, but it's something I guess. Maybe I'll hook up my PS Camera soon as well. The picture quality from my stream is a lot better since I've had BT Infinity installed. You should have seen how blocky it looked before! I stream most things now, it doesn't impact on the performance of the game at all from my end, so I figure why not. I'm looking forward to being able to archive and edit footage in the next update or so. But yeah, follow, subscribe etc, and you can get an email notification when I begin streaming. Failing that, I normally let the PS4 auto-Tweet whenever I start. Cheers for watching! http://www.twitch.tv/retroed | http://www.twitch.tv/retroed/profile/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 There's holding your own, and then there's dominating. Seriously though, you're really good at anti infantry, if you had a pack to run with you'd cut a lot of downtime down looking for ammo, heals or trying to avoid being blown up by armour. You've got potential to be a really amazing asset with a reliable squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 I'm going to be on Daylight for a bit if anyone wants to see what that's like http://en-gb.twitch.tv/goukiband Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Cheers sly. I caught a couple minutes of Daylight, Ben. Looked a bit creepy. Stream ran great, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 yeah, there's few problems with the Twitch part but it does work pretty well on pc. Yesterday it knew I was playing Batman and showed that on Twitch, today it still thought I was playing Batman rather than Daylight. Daylight has its own Twitch service built in, so it might be better to use that. Also I wasn't expecting it to show my screen when I alt-tabbed out, good job I didn't have anything personal open http://www.twitch.tv/goukiband/b/522897778 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 Daylight has a feature where the twitch chat can interact with the game by typing certain words in to the chat. If I were to set down a time when I'd stream this weekend would anyone be interested in trying it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Streaming some inFamous: Second Son at the moment. Just defeated a really frustrating boss (He Who Dwells). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Well, I got up to 17 viewers at one point. On one mission I was a bit lost so asked for advice on what to do, and was given it, which was nice. I think I'm pretty busy this weekend Ben, otherwise I'd have loved to watch. Tomb Raider PS4 had something similar, people would keep typing either revive or die into the stream, although I didn't really notice anything happen.

DANGERMAN Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 I think I'm going to be streaming Child of Light in a minute if anyone is interested http://www.twitch.tv/goukiband Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 I played for the better part of 2 hours, the video is here if you're very bored: http://www.twitch.tv/goukiband/b/524587741 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberpunk Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I've been messing around with Twitch also guys. As it's quite low on the resources of my PC, I'll be streaming any game I happen to be playing. On Formula One race days, it'll be Trackmania 2 Stadium, but most other days it'll be whatever I'm playing. I'll be live streaming my playthrough of Bioshock Infinite very shortly.

radiofloyd Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Fill me in, what is twitch? How does it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 It's a streaming service, for games exclusively I think (might be wrong). It's apparently one of the most visited sites on the net. If you have a ps4, Xbox one, or a pc you can live stream what you're playing for people to watch. You can have a webcam for your face in the corner, have your voice over the top, or just play. It's largely pointless if you're trying to make money from it at this point, but it's handy to show off a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiofloyd Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Cool, thanks. And at the end of each transmission, are your videos saved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 I don't think you can on ps4/xbox but on pc you can set it so it saves them all (they're in your profile under past videos) for a few days, so you can click on them and choose to save "forever" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Dokuro Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 To add to Dangerman's explanation you can stream smartphone games natively now too. Puzzle and Dragons and Asphalt 8 seem to be the most popular to stream. You can also stream from any classic console if you buy a capture device. I've also seen 3DS and Wii U streams via capture devices with both screens (main and gamepad) being streamed at the same time. PS4 you can save streams to your HDD, but not on Twitch servers. XO you can do video archiving on Twitch servers. Same goes for Smartphones, PC and anything that uses a capture device to stream can be archived on Twitch servers. Anyways, I mostly follow Korean Hearthstone and StarCraft 2 players, but my SN is TheNerdbilly follow and I'll follow back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
