Must admit I've never actually hit that Share button yet, in 6 months of owning my PS4. Not a feature that floats my boat, although I can see its uses

AgentSmithPS44363d ago

I play BF4 a lot and I've captured a lot of great video clips, some of the time, there's a possible bug when set for 1 minute capture. For me if it's set to 1 minute it seems to sometimes capture and save as a few second clip that doesn't have what I intended to capture :(, I've lost a few great ones to that. It also can take its time letting me push square to save the video to my HDD, then I get killed etc in the game.

If you have problems try 3 minutes, that seems to work better for me, and if set for 1 minute, when you spawn after changing maps push the share button then cancel it so it kind of "wakes it up" so it's ready when you really need it.

DragonKnight4363d ago

What problems? I've used it several times and have never had any problems with it. I was able to record gameplay of several minutes detailing how OP the darts are in AC Black Flag.

XtraTrstrL4363d ago

There's many times it doesn't record any new video, and shows the last thing you recorded when you hit 'share'. When that happens, the option to save the video by hitting the 'square' button doesn't appear at all. I think crappy games can cause it to mess up more, cuz it happens to me nonstop in COD: Ghosts. The game also is the worst at multitasking, when you are in COD on PS4 and you hit 'home', then scroll through your apps, it hickups to all hell.

I assume Infinity Ward doesn't know how to use the profiling tools at all on PS4. They just basically got the game up and running and said to hell with it. Glitchy piece of crap.

The 'share' video recording definitely needs more patching up though. It's not 100% consistent at all currently. I just have to hope it shows a new vid and allows me to save it whenever something crazy happens in a game and I press the button.

This is also a pretty stupid and useless fix. I already have mine set to the standard setting. Dude must be having a placibo effect, he switched it back and just happened to have a few positive 'share' attempts. It's definitely still currently broken until they come out with a system update that fixes it though. The funny part is, it's better than before, you can definitely get in and out of the 'share' menu quicker since the last few updates. Just need to get the recording to work closer to 100% of the time, if not always.

Just tried the articles suggestion and going standard, still broken. Article is null and void.

morganfell4363d ago (Edited 4363d ago )

spaceg0st,

I am not sure if this is directly a PS4 issue. I have MLB and haven't attempted to save any footage so I cannot speak for that game. But I have saved footage across a ton of other games with no issue except for Wolfenstein where I have encountered the same issue you have demonstrated. I have to wonder if it is something in the PS4 dev software itself that may need fixing rather than say a software update on the PS4 itself.

And remember, the article may solve the problem for people whose save issues are driven by a different cause.

DragonKnight4363d ago

I don't know, I've never had any problems with it at all.

When I want to record, I tap Share twice to record, then once to stop. It's always worked. Then I upload it and everything works fine. The one instance that was different was with Child of Light and when I researched it I found out that publishers have the right to prevent audio from recording with the Share button, which is what happened in my video of Child of Light.

Necro_5594363d ago

I use the share button ALL THE TIME. 15-20 times a day. It works maybe 5 of those times. And the times it does work, its always for non exciting things. When ever i do something epic, doesnt work. What do i mean by not working? When you press the share button and the option to press (square) to save video never shows up, just the screenshot option. This for me is a huge issue and completely ruins the concept, it just doesnt work. At least before the update when you didnt have to manually save the video upon hitting share, it at least have a video for you, whether it was the right footage or not..... lol.

spaceg0st4363d ago

Depending on what you're playing, hitting the ps button on the controller will garuantee it'll work AFTER that button press.... For a limited one though. On bf4 you seem to have to do it every map start

Soldierone4363d ago

Press Square anyways and it will save the video. I do that and it works every time. It never says to, I just press it and then it pops up and it saves the video.

Soldierone4363d ago

The only problem I have is that it auto saves videos when I press it and then click to view videos. How do I make it stop doing that?

Master-Chief4363d ago

I didn't even know the Share button had any problems.

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot39d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose40d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE40d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername39d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy40d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde40d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8640d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8640d ago (Edited 40d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300040d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle40d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7740d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
