Rumour: Next Xbox to introduce 'broader Achievements', video capture
Polygon reports that Microsoft will more closely position Xbox Live to social networks such as Twitter and Facebook, by adding the ability to 'follow' other users and removing the current friends cap.
According to its sources, the unnamed next-gen console will include the ability to capture video during gameplay and then share it online, similar to the PlayStation 4's share button.
Currently the next Xbox will allow users to review captured gameplay and select highlights, Polygon reports. The function can be turned off or set to automatically record during certain in-game events such as FPS headshots or specific Achievements, it says.
The report claims that more control will be handed to creators for how their Achievements work on the new console.
Developers will be able to add new Achievements post-launch without DLC, it says, and tie the rewards to a broader set of events, such as weekend challenges and cross-title accomplishments, such as finishing the first chapter in two different games by the same company.
Microsoft has confirmed it will reveal its next-gen plans at a special event on May 21.

Tosh0 That's going to be cool if they include game recording on the console itself, but then thats possibly some bad news for company's like Elgato, Hauppauge, Roxio, etc.
The broader achievments appeals to me I just really like the sound of it.
Still not sure if im set on purchasing it once it comes out though...
To be honest I don't think it will impact that much. If you think about it you will be able to upload from your Xbox but how will you edit it and for live streamers in don't think they will have build in live streaming. I'm guessing to get the video straight to your PC without uploading is going to be a long process unless they make it like a capture card where you get the footage on the PC without any hassle. With commentating you will have to import it to your PC unless if you can use ur Xbox mic which is not really that good quality. We will just have to wait and see I guess.
