This is what Blur and Facebook will look like together photo

Gaming on Facebook is huuuuuge. It stands to reason then that games would want to work as easily as possible with Facebook, and so we receive Blur's Facebook integration. You can see what it will look like above and read how it will act in the paragraph below.

The game is going to feature a "Share" button that will let you challenge people to race, share achievements, post screenshots and basically quickly let you put things onto Facebook that people may or may not be interested in (most likely the latter). Judging from that screenshot it's going to be all sorts of unexciting because it's just a picture of Facebook.

I suppose I can understand the benefit of having a social network integrated into a game, but this is by no means something that excites me -- at all. Is this a game selling feature for anyone, and if so, do you want to see it in all games?

The Youtube feature that Echochrome has is what I'd like from games. I could care less about screen shots or challenges or achievements. I want video proof of my excellence and I would like to share that with the world.

Now I just need to find some excellence.

Youtube integration for sports and competitive games is what I ask.

I agree this is pretty pointless, although I'm sure some people will find it fun (for a little while at least). But I don't need anymore spam in my news feed and I dislike spamming others.

And I like the idea of YouTube integration, if that means I could upload gameplay footage without the use of a Capture card or DVR. I wish more games did that.

I hate social networking sites while ignoring the fact that I'm on one.

I actually think that Facebook integration is neat, and this moderately excites me

I really wish Facebook would die. Of course the only way for that to happen would be for a rival social network to convert it's user base, and then I'd want that social network to die.

The cycle is beginning...just like the Mayan's said it would.

I'm pretty sure having a Facebook and not having friends don't correlate.

I actually prefer Bungie's system of having the files uploaded to a website specifically made for the game. That way I can put what I want on Facebook without telling Activision my Facebook information...

It's always been a dream of mine to have a console with built-in screen capture functionality. I guess this is a nice step in the right direction, but I'd rather have complete control over the files (whether they're videos or pictures) and what websites I choose to put them on.

This is why there needs to be the creation of a face-book clone type website dedicated to the gaming community. It could become the universal website for all game makes to implement these sort of features, instead of clogging up peoples face-book pages with useless information the majority of their friends do not care about. In any case, this is my idea and if you steal it... I want monies.

That is all.

I think you're missing the point. This wasn't envisioned as a game-selling feature. This was envisioned as a form of free advertising. Am I being too cynical?

"...Is this a game selling feature for anyone?"
