Forums - Sony - Share Play : New great PS4 feature !

Serious_frusting on 24 October 2014

this feature is going to help sell a lot of games that people are on the fence about. Just ask your friend to pop it in and let you take over the controller for a bit. If you like it. buy it.



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

Will definitely give it a try when it releases. Seems like it could be fun.

IMO there's room for a small improvement: If both me and my friend own the game (Towerfall: Ascension for example), gameplay shouldn't be limited to 60 minutes. Why should it be limited to 60 minutes? Also I don't know if it would even be possible, but more than 2 players would be awesome!
Also, hopefully during gameplay there's be a timer somewhere or a warning 5 minutes or so before the 60 minutes are over. It would be kind of annoying if they'd just cut you off.

if you both own the game you could just play it normally.

As far as this feature goes, it's the biggest feature of any of the current gen consoles, and a massive selling point for the future.

So what are the keys to Kyrat for then?


keys to kyrat dont do streaming. you actually have to download an "App" which is the farcry4 game and you can access it with a key/code. no streaming happens, your PS4 is running and rendering everything.

with this your friends PS4 is running the game and sending a stream to you.

So the keys are the better option. Thanks.

yes. but the keys are limited to 2 hours per session and anybody who has the keys "just" has 10. meaning 20 hours max. but if you ask me thats more than enough. in share play you have an unlimited amount 1 hour sessions.

This is an amazing feature. I let my PS+ expire as I only play single player games, but this will entice me to renew for sure.
If anyone had any doubts about which system to buy, there is no qurstion anymore.

And with the community approaching 20 million in a few months, there will be no doubt we will be able to try and play any and all available games...

I gotta say that this is one awesome feature that I really wish was on my favorite console. The great thing is that you can just start a new game session after an hour :).

This could turn out to be awesome, looking forward to seeing how well this works.

Probably the coolest new home console feature so far this gen. Sony have been a tad disappointing with their update speed, but if Share Play works as advertised then i could see it being a big selling point for many people.
