I know I was talking shit about Gamespot in that other thread, so in my defense, I was on GameFAQs and saw this news headline, so that's why I'm linking to a Gamespot news item. 😛

As indicated in a report by Japanese business news daily Nikkei Net (subscription required), Sony may be looking to cash in on the viral effect with its latest addition to the PlayStation 3's feature set. Sony Computer Entertainment announced today in Japan that YouTube video uploads could now be integrated into PlayStation 3 games, "a first for home game systems," according to Nikkei.

The first title to make use of the functionality will be Japanese PlayStation Network title Mainichi Issho, according to the report. Based on Sony Japan's Toro franchise, Mainiche Issho is a free-to-download casual game, and players will be able to record the in-game action for posting on YouTube.

[UPDATE] Responding to GameSpot's request for comment, a Sony representative confirmed the YouTube integration is now available in all regions. As noted by Nikkei, SCE is handing out the development software to various studios, and it's up to individual developers to decide whether to offer it in their games," according to the Sony representative. YouTube's API blog has more information on the deal.

Assuming it's as easy as it sounds, score one for Sony for thinking of something original for a change.
 
That's a fantastic idea. I wouldn't call it original, since Skate basically had this feature with its own video site. I think the effort from developers to implement this will be non-trivial. Sony isn't going to record the video for them, they're just providing the interface to Youtube. Consider how few games have a video recording feature now. It takes effort, and more importantly it takes system resources. The Halo 3 way is the least resource-intensive, but that requires them to develop the ability to play back saved game data. I would love it if this becomes a mainstream feature though, and I think this will help that happen.
 
I'd love to see a Halo 3 like recording feature to show up in games, especially in upcoming FPSs. GTAIV would've been awesome if it had a recording feature.
 
Sounds cool, although I'd prefer seeing videos at a little higher resolution than what YouTube seems to offer. Of course, that's in general, not just for this feature.
 
I'll be more excited when I see how it works. 🙂

The coolness of the Halo 3 video replays didn't hit me until I actually got into the game, was able to play with it, and see videos from others. I just wish they would have found a way to export it outside to something like YouTube.

If more games are able to do that... :thumbsup:

mainichi issho is a stupid game, I don't need to see a million youtube videos of it.

Actually, I don't feel the need to see videos of other people playing any game.

Yeah, it would have been nice if they had an export to WMV feature... being as that they worked for MS and all you'd think they'd be able to pull that off. 😛 But I think I recall hearing that the video feature barely made it into the game, so I'll take it as is.

Look at all of the hilarious Halo videos we've seen... funny video game clips can be pretty entertaining. There were some funny Skate clips too.
 
It'd be pretty cool to send a gameplay video to help a friend out if their in a tough spot. I hate having to tell my friends how to get past certain spots because I have to describe the environment, the enemies, etc.
