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.

GuyNamedBob That will be pretty cool if this is true, hopefully video capture won't drive the price up too much.
I hope the ps3 will have this, it will be good for youtubers :)

I hope the recording allows for easy transfer to PC. It would be amazing to not have to buy a PVR if you just wanted to record some simple gameplay.

Well the good thing about addable achievements is that it gives achievement junkies an incentive to play after they've gotten all of them.
