Forums - Sony - Share Play limited for 60 minutes.

I knew it was too good to be true. 60 minutes is not bad. For Far Cry 4 they said it was 2 hours though.

Depending on how often the clock refreshes, that's a very reasonable amount.

Would be exploited to death if it was more or even unlimited.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

If its 60mins every 24 hours per friend, or even every 72hrs or 60mins per game/24hrs and then an unlimited number of games per day... its still a great feature. Especially when you consider that there is no other platform on the planet that is doing something like this. Its a really good way to have your friends demo out a game you have and they don't.

Also adds more value to PS+ and will help a lot of games with great exposure. These are the kinda things gamers should be excited about. (not stuff like EA access lol)



They said 2 hours during the conference though.

Far Cry 4. That was not "Share Play". And that's a one time thing I believe

Oh ok, the stream cut off on me during that part.



A 60 minute time limit isn't bad. That's a decent amount of time to play a game.

One thing this would good for are those offline co op games. I wouldn't mind playing a Tales of game online.



It's a neat feature and the 60min time limit is understandable.



Is this the thing that was advertised in that 1st PS4 internet ad with the guy playing Knack and his friend helping him with it?

Yup.

It's intended for you to jump in and help friends, or if you both have PS+, have a quick multiplayer match together without you having the game, not really intended to be like "hey dude dont bother buying the game just play my copy" so the hour limit is completely understandable.

Of course, even if the timer doesnt refresh, you're playing the game on a friends profile so you could just switch psn accounts and continue playing.

Really great feature in my opinion, been plenty of times I've been watching a friend stream gameplay and see them mess something up multiple times, will be great to just say "gimmie control for a sec" and help out.
