NEWS: Capture HD Gameplay Directly From Your PS4

Head of Sony's third party relations Brad Douglas  has revealed that the PlayStation 4 will be able to capture footage directly via HDMI.

Douglas said via his Twitter account "I think we just announced that we're going to allow video capture of games over HDMI! Details will follow soon."

Initially, it was Sony's plan for it's customers to use the share button on the DualShock 4 controller in order to share captured content, but it seems more options are now available to capture footage from your PS4.

Users can still use the share function, but will be limited to 15 minutes each time.
