The wait for XBOX ONE is nearly over. Today we will take a look at the game DVR and streaming features of the console. We did an article about DVR earlier, but we've found some more info on it.
GAME DVR
It is confirmed that in order to use game DVR at all, you will have to be connected to XBOX LIVE and have an active gold subscription. The console will continuously buffer your last 30 seconds of gameplay so that anytime you say the phrase "XBOX RECORD THAT" it will just dump that rolling set of footage to the rendering program. But what if you want a longer video than that?
You can up the capture time to 5 minutes if you have the "Upload Studio" app snapped in. "Snapping" an app means that you are running it at the same time as another app. In this case, the Upload Studio will be snapped to a little slice of the screen to the right of your main app (again, in this case, the game you're playing). Now you can capture a longer video.
LIVE STREAMING
You can live stream a game at anytime (provided you are connected to XBOX LIVE with a current gold sub) by simply saying *"XBOX STREAM MY GAME". The Twitch.tv app will fire up and confirm with you a few settings before starting your live stream. It is reported that some parts of some games may not allow you to stream them to keep the game spoiler free.
When you stream, your game will display in a main window, and a picture-in-picture of you will display below with your voice enabled for commentary.
I would like to add that I will be live streaming some Forza 5 and possibly some Ryse multiplayer and Powerstar Golf as well shortly after launch.
Let us know what you think about DVR/Streaming features in the comments section below. Stay tuned to Big Ups Gaming for more gaming news. Thanks for reading!
*Voice command subject to variation
