Sony announced a new collaboration with Youtube today, opening a new Sony channel full of trailers etc, which isn’t very exciting at all, but hidden within the press release, was this excellent paragraph:
In the future, PlayStation’s YouTube channel will feature a user-generated content section within the channel, as publishers and developers take advantage of the PlayStation 3’s advanced application programming interface (API) to allow users to create game mode videos. SCEA will also launch game-specific enhanced YouTube channels, starting off with the highly anticipated game LittleBigPlanet™. LittleBigPlanet, which launches on October 21 will also have its own YouTube channel coming out in November and will feature cross-promotion with the LittleBigPlanet.com community.
We were wondering if this would ever come to fruition, and boy are we glad it actually might be. With a game like LittleBigPlanet, a Youtube exporting feature is the perfect marketing and community tool - sending videos to where people already watch them, both easily and in higher quality than a wobble cam can muster, can only help to build on the game’s Play, Create, Share mantra.
