Forums - Gaming - PS4's Game Sharing: 60 Minutes Per Session But No Limit On How Many Sessions.

2008ProchargedGT on 17 August 2014

I think ppl are expecting way too much out of this service. It was advertised as passing the controller to a friend sitting on you couch but instead your friend could be in Japan and you in NY. Let me ask you this, do you just leave your console on all day and let your frinds sit on your couch and play all your games when you are not around? This is a great inovative feature that enables me to still play all those coop games and single player games for that matter with my brothers as if I was sitting on the couch with them. This is something I havent been able to do regularly in 9 years due to being in the military and moving alot also being away from home. It seems alot of you just want free games and want to find any angle to screw these businesses because lets face it everything is about YOU!!!! Smh

This is incredibly fair! My hats off to Sony on this one.

Seems reasonable. Any idea what happens when the session ends? Does it boot the other player until the next session is initialized or will a pop up appear asking if you want to start another like when you listen to pandora for a while and it asks if you are still listening?


I would imagine it would just prompt the host and ask if they would still like thier friend to play and if there is no respo se after like a min it would boot the guest.

This could be interesting. Would be a good way to get some of those stupid co-op / multiplayer trophies.

I like it.

No, like demo access. You realize they can do stuff like that right? That's what EA is doing with their service, full game trial for 2 hours. Download the file but then I have to auhorize him to play it with those 10 trial keys they announced. Is it really that radical an idea?

This is MUCH better than that, which is obviously why Sony turned EA down. Invite a friend, DONE.

You're missing my point. It's not better for me, it's non-existent for me because my internet is not good enough. Obviously in a perfect world where everyone has some amazing internet this would be better.
