PS4 and Xbox One Game DVR Time and Limitations

Good afternoon everyone.

Today I've got info on the console DVR record time for both the PS4 and Xbox One.

Source:http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2013/07/ps4-records-more-gameplay-than-xbox-one/


During an interview with Gamespot, Microsoft Studios creative director Ken Lobb, gave us insight to how long of footage you can record with the console DVR of the Xbox One.

"It's called Project Upload. So the idea is you're always recording, so we have a ring buffer game DVR, basically. So the last five minutes of any game you're playing is always being stored locally on your hard drive."

 However if you want to record the last 30 seconds of footage meanwhile you're playing  online, you can say "Xbox Record" the console DVR will record the last 30 seconds of what happened in the game.

On the other side of the aisle, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe R&D head Neil Brown said at the Develop Conference earlier this month that the PS4 will record "several minutes" of previous gameplay to a buffer, though some reports indicated that he said "seven" not several.

A Sony spokesperson re-confirmed to CVG today, that the system will actually record the last 15 minutes-worth of gameplay, as Sony announced back in February.

Now before PS4 fans take to the streets and praise the longer recording time, it's been reported that Sony will allow developers to be able to limit what you can record from a game.

Sony WorldWide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida has confirmed this limitation, this will impact the popularity of the share function.

It's unclear how you will know what you can and cannot record with the PS4 DVR and it's unclear if there will be any notifications of where you can record and what you can't record.

It's very likely that the developers will choose certain sections of games like a boss battle to avoid people spoiling the game.

I do understand the limitations to a degree, but I also don't like the fact that something like this is left to the developers.

Thank you for reading.

Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Weapon Guide:M-TAR Assault Rifle

Hello everyone, time for my first weapon guide of Black Ops 2. Today we're looking at the starting assault rifle, the M-TAR. History The Micro-Tar is a micro version of the TAR-21 rifle. It's designed to take advantage of a shorter barrel which means decreased recoil but increased accuracy. Designed for special fores units, it is capable of converting to different ammo variants such as the NATO standard 5.56 cartridge and the 9mm submachine gun round. It is also designed to be capable of attaching a Suppressor, as of 2009 a grenade launcher was being designed to attach to the M-TAR, the M-TAR can attach the M203PI grenade launcher. If you're a FPS veteran then you saw this weapon first in Battlefield 3 as part of the Close Quarters DLC, for COD veterans we saw this weapon's bigger brother, the TAR-21 in Modern Warfare 2. I'm warning you now, the M-TAR is not the TAR-21 we saw in Modern Warfare 2. Multiplayer Stats, Attachments and Performance In gam...

Retro Gazette Reviews:Batman Returns SNES Review

Hello everyone. Welcome to another one of my Retro Reviews. Today we're going to be looking at a personal favorite of mine from the Super Nintendo era. Batman Returns. Story Music If you can't tell all ready from the intro video above, the music to Batman Returns for the SNES sounds great and does a good job of recreating some of the songs we heard in the film. My personal favorite stage music is from Stage 7 when you enter Arctic World, The Liberation of Gotham track sounds amazing in 16 bit audio. It's strange to review the music in a video game but the audio stands out so much and does an amazing job, again of recreating the films' soundtrack. Presentation The graphics and detail of Batman Returns is very good and ironically is much more colorful than the Tim Burton film. Gotham City, although currently suffering from a clown riot looks fantastic and Konami yet again does a good job of recreating scenes from the film, you see all these backgro...
