Forums - Sony - Why isn't anybody talking about PS4's Game Sharing feature?

Like to DS and PSP, the number of modes available will be very limited compared to both people having a copy of the game. Unless they offer some kind of free multi-player app for each game on PSN so you don't need to wait for the other person to download it every time.

Yeah letting people borrow games not being able to play a game through the net without owning it.

I thought it was one of the coolest things announced at E3, being able to play with your friends on Far Cry 4 even if you don't own a copy, and vice versa. That's a great feature and I hope more games utilize it in the future. If I remember correctly Microsoft wanted to do something similar with their original XBO design but they dropped the idea when they removed the DRM. I'm happy Sony is testing it out. 

The family game sharing on xbox one was nothing like this. It was totally different.

Plus is only a requirement for Multiplayer, Discount, free plus games, and I think cloud saves.

Non of PSN network features need it so its unlikely they will put it behind plus.

The DS was doing that before it was cool


DS download play is local only, which is basically the same as playing on a home console with friends as you're all right there, so nothing too special, but this is uber awesome because it's through online! It'd be pretty huge if other games like LittleBigPlanet, CallofDuty, Uncharted, etc. also did this!
