"Soon" Youtube's video player will be upgraded to support 60 FPS videos!

I honestly think is huge because if videos are recorded with a good setup, we can look at the game as it actually happened instead of with half the frames cut out by the player. All the glorious, delicious, sensual frames.

Are you guys happy with this too?

 

[Saint Johns]

This is great.

 

[smashbro29]

Fantastic.

My body is ready.

I know, I know, sorry for the bad joke. But seriously this is great news.

This is fantastic news; 30 fps was by far the worst thing about youtube's video player, and it will really help the quality of gaming content in general with smash definitely being a benefactor. I'll definitely be exploiting this heavily when it drops!

 

[Cap'nChreest]

More frames for Nintendo to claim I guess.

While I'm happy with this, it also creates a dilemma for me - do I sacrifice clarity for frame rate, or frame rate for clarity, when it comes to 60FPS games?

I use an Elgato Game Capture HD, which only records at 30FPS when at 1080p, but can record 60FPS at 720p.
I just achieved true 1080p in YouTube's video player (to where it basically looks exactly like the game on a HDTV), and I only bought my Elgato recently. And I was really happy with this quality (watch at the highest quality setting you can):

Unless Elgato can implement 1080p 60FPS recordings through an update to their software, I'm gonna have to buy a Shuffle or something to achieve true 1080p 60FPS. :\

If only this could help Mario Kart 8's Mario Kart TV features, as you can really see the frame-rate drop whenever you're sharing your racing footage.

 

[ChikoLad]

Here's YouTube's showcase video - the Battlefield Hardline trailer. Some parts in 30FPS due to them being recorded like that, but the gameplay is in 60FPS. You also have to watch in at least 720p to see the 60FPS.

LOL people are still holding on to this? You do realize they dropped it and are currently trying to arrange deals with the content-makers to get a small part of the money, right?

I hope "soon" actually means soon.

Well before the end of civilization is the "Soft" deadline, knowing Youtube.

 

[ChikoLad]

If they already have examples up, it WILL be soon.

They have it working in the player, they literally just need to make accommodations for larger video uploads on a mass scale.

 

[DakotaBonez]

Does this mean that whenever people record footage of sprites flickering in old games, they won't become invisible anymore?

 

[Bravetriforcer]

That sounds much easier said than done, overall.

 

[kazrisk]

Smash TV better happen.

So I tried watching something in 60 fps and my computer literally almost exploded. Guess I won't be enjoying this feature...

Damn. My crappy laptop can still do it justice lol
But it's awesome. We don't have to do that stupid 2X Speedup thing by slowing down the video MERH

What kind of a computer do you have? o_O

Presumably something along the lines of this.

Don't be Half-Life 3 "soon"
Don't be Half-Life 3 "soon"
Don't be Half-Life 3 "soon"

Honestly it might as well be this thing. My computer's pretty pathetic. It does what it needs to do in terms of using the internet but it's no good graphically. I'm not a PC gamer so I don't mind and it's not a priority to upgrade this thing any time soon.

It cost about $200 back in 2011. That should give you an idea xD

 

[SmashShadow]

Don't be Half-Life 3 "soon"

It'll be The Last Guardian "soon."

 

[Johnknight1]

It'll be The Last Guardian "soon."

I remember when it was slated as a PlayStation 2 game, lol!!!

===

But man, 60 fps smash will be WONDEROUS!!!

Perfect timing because my dad won a recording setup for me and my bro to use that can record up to 720p at 60fps or 1080p at 30fps, and it's only a bit bigger than the size of a fist.

 

[Xavier :D]

YUSSSSSSSSS

 

[DukeofShorts]

Hopefully the game can record and share replays at 60fps (also more than three minutes) so there will be no need of some other recording software.

 

[ElectricCitrus]

Oh god this is amazing, I can only hope when they finally update it doesn't completely break Youtube for a solid two weeks like all the other major updates.

 

[Nintendo Fan]

All I can say is...

#YASSSSSS

My father's laptop can't even handle 4k. It auto-restarts if I even select the option on Youtube.
