Sony Integrates YouTube API to Allow Uploading of in-Game Video

2008-05-17 23:21:48 by Chris in Gaming Today

An exciting announcement has been made by YouTube, stating that Sony has decided to integrate the YouTube API with the PlayStation 3, which means that both future games and past games have the ability to allow gamers to upload in-game video directly to YouTube. This functionality has been added to the Japanese game Mainichi Issho, and could quite possibly be added to anything from MotorStorm to LittleBigPlanet. (Nothing’s been announced on either of those fronts, or any other, but hypothetically…)

Imagine building a level in LBP, and then promoting it online via YouTube. Or being able to share an incredible save you made in a co-op session of Resistance 2. Or an incredible game-winning touchdown in a game of Madden. And all of this would be available to watch on YouTube, and not simply tied to the game like in, say, Halo 3. (Sorry, Bungie. You’ve got a wonderful system, but this has the potential to be something much cooler.)

Hopefully developers decide to embrace this, and it ends up being something we see introduced on the Xbox 360, as well. One question I have, though, is if this would be able to capture voice chat, or purely the game itself.
