Thanks so much. I was just wondering about this.

It's not really, it's just telling you that if you ARE recording during that time (with the double-tap of the Share Button), nothing will be shown.

The PS4 is ALWAYS recording. The only question is whether or not you save what it has recorded.

It gets sent to the NSA and the federal government rounds people up who swing at balls in the dirt.

Sharing is a big selling point of both PS4 and Xbox One, though they do it slightly differently, they are both always recording and you can save your clips at any time. The processing of video is done by an extra chip in the hardware, so it's not something that's impacting game performance, I believe.

It's not just video that's being recorded. Everything you do in modern games is recorded. San Diego Studio doesn't hide this, and records statistics about how we use their game.

Thank you so much for this. It was getting quite annoying. It's much appreciated sir.

Man I just hit a walk off Grand Slam! I wish I had a recording of that so I could share it.

You probably do.

That is why it is always recording. It is like the 30 minute buffer of live TV that your DVR records (although I don't know how much of a buffer on the pS4).

I believe the PS4 saves the last 15 minutes of your game play. Just in case something crazy happens that you want to go back and save.

Exactly.

It's keeping the last fifteen minutes "on hold" for you, in case something cool happens - then you would hit the share button to actually save it. The PS4 doesn't just save videos by itself on its own.

You can also adjust this "on hold" time. I do five minutes, myself. Makes it easier to trim down later.

Wait - are you sure it works like that? When I double tap the share button it starts a recording, which can last for up to 15 minutes depending on what setting I use. Are you saying that if I just go into the share menu normally it'll have saved the last 15 minutes, even though I hadn't specifically told it to record?

If so, I never knew this.

I've always had to try to anticipate things coming up that I wanted to record, and then be quick on the double-tap share button.

Yep - works both ways.

I have never noticed this before with any other game...but the Show has been taking screenshots of each trophy I achieve today. Weird.

OT.
Yes NBA2k saves your replays/highlights,i haven't had whole games saved though.I had about 2-3gb of NBA2k replays to delete.

Not sure if there's a way to disable it,i haven't found it

Yeah, I'm not sure on NBA 2K if there is a way to disable highlights being saved. I've got a whole lotta dunks saved currently

Update 2.0 featured a deal that Sony signed with Google that allows your game habits to be recorded. So, with the email address you linked to your PSN account, Google can target ads towards you on your Android phone. #Illuminati

Im going to implement this tomorrow.

Great, informative post.
