YouTube Gaming App First Look at E3 2015

2015-06-18
hey it's Josh regard from Andrew authority what's going on everybody and here at e3 we were able to get a look at YouTube gaming now what I am going to be showing you is the app and you can see the new icon that was already there and opening it up we already have the front splash screen that includes a few highlights up at the top that automatically start playing but of course if you were to click on any of those up there just tap on any of the videos it will go fullscreen into a familiar interface that looks a lot like YouTube but has a few different new elements you are able to scroll and to swipe among the different elements here from the details of the video to other suggested videos to even the comments now what you're going to notice in this particular video is well it's the Final Fantasy 7 remake the trailer and we're all super excited about that it does get front and center on the YouTube gaming application which is really awesome as we continue forward what you'll find in the splash screen that you have the ability to take a look at not only a feed of what is available now and live streaming but also take a look at all the different channels that typically do gaming video so people like PewDiePie will be there you also get publications like IGN and GameSpot there but over here on this side you have various favorited games now you can search for a game you can hit a star on the side and you'll be able to have them on the list here easy to find all of the different types of content that you have there i click on mortal kombat x here and we not only have the ability to look at a live stream that's going on right now but there are also some explore video so probably some just some general suggestions that youtube gaming will give you as to what kind of videos they think that you would like to see from a particular game i did pop on over to another live stream this one was on advanced warfare and as is the case with some of the streams that you might see across any of the other networks the same as here that you could just have a camera pointed at yourself and you're just reacting to the game of course a mixture of the two is probably better but you'll also notice on the live streams that a live chats are available as well so in real time during your stream people will be able to comment and you can see here on this nexus 6 that i will able to experience all of that an easy way right here on the mobile side of things ads do come up there so of course YouTube game is going to have the monetization value of YouTube into a live streaming service that is a lot like twitch TV so going through the chat a little bit there are a lot of different comments already available and all of them will be made available also once the stream is done and the video is converted into an actual YouTube video but as we remove ourselves from the streaming area now we'll go to the search box now you'll have really powerful Google like searches here I'm ready looking for Final Fantasy and right away a lot of final fantasy games just appear and you'll have all the search results including the album arts the game art rather from all of these games if they are populated already some of them were not but heading on over to Final Fantasy 10 in this particular case we see the different types of content that YouTube gaming will be able to give you right away this was the explore tab right here but swiping around you'll also find popular videos probably the most viewed ones for Final Fantasy 10 in this case in particular and also the let's play channels that are available as well if you have let's plays that already you also have reviews at the very end which make it really easy for you to find all the research you need in order to see if a game is what you want to buy with your hard-earned money and of course you are able to star these games and have them in the games area on the home splash screen as well of course there are a ton of people out there doing gaming content on YouTube and now streaming is going to be a big part of it we did talk to somebody who had a few answers for our questions about YouTube gaming streaming and ultimately it's going to require the right applications and capture cards for your pc games and on various platforms like the ps4 in particular we talked about a youtube app will be available and will provide the kind of streaming service that is already built into it that you could do with twitch already up until this point but now YouTube gaming is looking to really get into that market as well but of course we can't forget about the desktop side of things the YouTube gaming apparatus is available across all the major platforms whether it be mobile tablet or on the Chromebook here browser of course and as you see here there was a live stream already happening this was actually happening right behind me already Freddie Wong meeting up with YouTube gaming and rooster t than the livestream there and you have the chat on the right side so people will be able to pretty much comment whenever they want in real time and you can see that the interface here is very similar to youtube in general just a little bit more dial to back because it is focusing on a very specific genre of videos and of course you have the splash up top where you have the top trending videos and the ones that they want to have front and center the interface on all of them looks pretty great and we did kind of comment a little bit thinking that maybe this is the kind of interface that YouTube should have in general but of course with YouTube gaming you have a very specific breadth of content and it would be a little bit easier to really curate what is appearing on all the different tabs here all of which include of course the Let's Plays and the reviews with a very nice splash up top that's kind of reminiscent of google play music for example and Google Play in general actually so yeah it's really easy to find content for any games that you're looking for and if you want to be a content creator than the ability to stream and create YouTube videos at 60 frames per second of all of the stuff that you play will be available and they will be coming pretty soon they slated it for the summer so it should be coming any time now so perhaps YouTube gaming is the next place where you'll put your gaming prowess out for the world to see that was just a quick look at YouTube gaming here at e3 they had a little booth and we just wanted to take a look at what this new app and new ecosystem for gaming might look like for people like you then wonderful gamers who came out to e3 and joined us and what was a pretty awesome show so keep it tuned here for even more and we have a lot more content from e3 2015 because we are your source for all things Android and for this week a little bit of gaming as well
