Emergence

Editor at Fextralife. I look for the substantial in gaming and I try to connect video games to the emotions and stories they elicit. I love all things culture and history and have an odd fondness for the planet Jupiter. I think my dogs are pretty awesome too.

Oh man. The events hub will be perfect for Warframe. Also the communities thing, and customizable friends list. Those features will definitely make life easier.

Hhhmm i see they’re still holding out on allowing to anonymously take over another users PS4 camera, they still have not gotten back to me on that request. Plus it looks like “Capa’s Yoga and jazz hands happy hour” is moving from twitch to youtube now.

Like the groups function, it can be a pain scrolling through everyone to find out who’s playing what. One thing they do need tho is the ability to enter an open(non private party) party without broadcasting it to everyone.

Youtube streaming. Looking forward to that one! And finally more online storage. With these games requiring ridiculously more amount of space to save game data, its about time Sony gave us more.

Good post.

This is pretty nice! I’m excited for this update, since we wanna try out Youtube Gaming. Fun times ahead!
