Seems you are right. Some sites reported it differently. So it's actually an absolute killer feature. Except that it all depends on the internet connection. So the experience for the visitor will be even worse than PSNow. |
yeah, it should be killer. as i understand it this is basically psnow or psvita's remote play except from ps4 to a friend's ps4. basically 1 screen is rendered based on the host's ps4. you're right that not all co-op can work this way. their will still be a place for online co-op in things like resident evil where you wouldn't want to split a screen if you didn't have to but games with couch co-op but no online co-op now have online co-op on ps4.
i'm talking about games like LBP3, pixel junk shooter, mercenary kings, guacemelee, ect. they already support couch co-op and playshare allows me to stream my screen to a friend and play virtual couch co-op. a lot of these indies aren't good at writing online code so they either don't or don't do it well.
basically, i'm thinking about pupeteer. LoVEd the game but could never plat because it doesn't have online co-op and i don't have friends that can come to my couch often. this would have allowed me to plat that game. sooo much awesome.
