When Microsoft revealed players would require an Xbox LiVE Gold Membership to use game recording features on Xbox One, a question was quickly asked to Shuhei Yoshida, President of Sony's Worldwide Studios, via Twitter. Would you have to pay a fee on PS4? The famously casual president replied with a confident "no". Sony's next-gen console, Playstation 4, will not require a paid subscription to record your gaming action. The feature is free to use day one, right out of the box!
Video capturing is a huge plus to have built into the console from the get-go. No longer do you need extra hardware and software to capture your supreme victory over your friends. With a click of the "Share" button (replacing the classic 'select') on the new Dual Shock 4 controller, you can instantly taunt them via video messages, all night long.
While this new game recording feature is free, you will need a paid PSN membership in order to access online multiplayer features on PS4, unless a game is designated Free-to-Play (F2P). This is a change from the free online gaming PS3 offers, but with that new fee you get all the bonuses that subscribing to PS+ offers today, including monthly free games.

Since the debut of Xbox One, Sony seems to be taking the fight right to Microsoft's door at every available moment.

Playstation 4 launches sometime this "holiday" for $399.99 (US)
