In his recent community interview, Higby stated that there will be a feature where you can hit a button to record video and instantly upload it to Youtube. Also they are working to integrate streaming services in so that you can enter your Ustream or Twitch.tv account info and start streaming your gameplay immediately. Neither of these is exactly what I had in mind but I'd say it is an excellent start!

Was it in ABP Reloaded that you could press record and it'd actually start the record from what happened x seconds before? Essentially the game was recording everything that happen, just rewriting the x seconds until record key was pressed. Something like that with WoT style battle recording that has practically no impact on game performance..

Also the top-view record of all vehicle&infantry movements would be sweet. Didn't they talk about tablet/web platform that could show real-time situation in the continents etc? Wouldn't be that big leap if they'd record all the movement over days/weeks/months/PS2-life-span.

Ofcourse, I'd love to have the best idea of 3d record of everything going on.


Do wonder.. I assume they'll have GMs invisible/ghostly spectators when necessary. Think if you could get that kind of status (obviously without actual GM powers, just able to spectate without limit) for youtube/twitch/streamers to use for recording/streaming/commentary. They could just limit the access to people who actually use it for that purpose only so tempted players couldn't use it for spying on enemy factions?
