We did bring you word earlier on that the PS4 is playable via the Xbox One’s HDMI In port, although it is not recommended to do so according to the folks over at Microsoft. Well, here is more word from the folks over at Sony concerning the PS4 – we do know that the PS4 will feature gameplay capture via HDMI, but the kicker is, support for that particular feature will not be made available when the next generation game console is launched.
Instead, Sony did mention that HDMI capture will arrive in the form of a patch after the PS4’s launch. Unfortunately for the waiting masses, there was no concrete date mention as to how soon that particular patch will arrive after the PS4 rolls out to the masses. Hopefully it will not happen after the Japan PS4 launch, since that would mean gamers in the US as well as Europe will have to wait for a fair number of months before that happens. In such a situation, it would be best to play it cool. Just imagine that Sony did not reveal the PS4 will arrive with HDMI capture eventually, and this particularly bitter pill would be a whole lot easier to swallow.
