PS4's Share Play is a wonderful new feature

GameZone: "Share Play is shaping up to be an amazing feature though, even if players use it to allow their friends to simply demo a game in order to convince them to buy it. While not all games will benefit from the slight lag it produces, it's still an admirable attempt, and is bound to get better as internet speeds approach ludicrous speed."

Share play is so dope

I can imagine pro gamers making money off of this feature,charging a fee to do certain levels for you or getting you that platinum.

Share play is a game changer

[Kingthrash360]

Agreed...easily the best new feature in gaming.
Hek it makes click bait reviews irrelevant because you can, if a friend has the game, play it and judge for yourself.
Awesome feature.

This. Blog this. That would be an awesome read.

When it works -_-

[GameDev1]

Worked for me before PSN went down

So it does work well, it is just PSN

[Xb1ps4]

Lol so it currently doesn't work

[GameDev1]

@Xbips4

No PSN doesnt work, you can still shareplay but it would just bring an error msg when connecting to your friends as that is where the problem lies

[lonelyplayer]

...when PSN is not down.

[SamPao]

never play on patch day

[lonelyplayer]

Sorry guys, I just wanted to try this feature but PSN was down :(

[TheWatercooler]

Innovation at it's finest. Only something that Sony would do and pull off. Nintendo also innovates at times.

[iistuii]

Had a go today. It was very responsive.. I played Driveclub, Fifa15 & TLOU which all were responsive but blocky & blurry & it was like playing a Playstation 1 game to be honest.. Clever stuff if you want to help a friend out with a trophy, but now I've tried it i can't see myself using it again.

[ThatOneGuyThere]

its going to perform exactly like PSNow for players. The only difference is that host's connectivity speeds are not set in stone. So quality is reliant on BOTH parties.

[iistuii]

Well we are both on 100 meg broadband & live a mile apart. Can't get much better than that. It's not our internet I can assure you, it's just not very clear, it never was going to be, but it will give you an idea how the game plays, but no idea whatsoever how it looks.

[ThatOneGuyThere]

you do realize theres more to take in account than just download speeds, right? your routers can, and likely are, huge pieces of shit. also, id spend more time arguing with you, but its pointless, as you probably made this bullshit up. lol i can play PSNow and remote play on my DSL and that shit is crystal clear.

[iistuii]

Made what up. Check it out yourself. I play everything perfect online, nothing wrong with my set up nothing lags, I even said share play runs perfect. All I said was it looks like shit compared to the actual game, which I also said is understandable. If you want to kid yourself thinking your going to play PS4 games crystal clear on share play, that's up to you.

[StormLegend]

If you guys didn't notice, the Mesages are loading super fast now.

[OculusRift]

It always loaded fast for me.. :/ it's probably my internet.

[masterfox]

PS4's Share Play, scares me!! it just sounds too damn good to be true!! I think not even PC gaming has this ? I really don't know.

[BluFish]

PC's have had ways to remotely connect to other desktops for years now. This feature is still incredibly amazing.

[S2Killinit]

it should be pretty amazing.

[isa_scout]

My internet isn't fast enough :(
It's like living in the stone ages because I live in the mountains. I only get 2.5 Mbps.... damn you frontier!!!!

[Stapleface]

I feel your pain. If you live outside of town or city limits your pretty screwed on internet speed. I'll keep my zero neighbors and crap internet though. It works perfect for gaming, fast enough for that with no lag at all, but things like this, not so much.

[isa_scout]

Agreed, I live in the mountains of West Virginia, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I like knowing that I have absolute privacy when I want it. If I want to stop along the road and relieve myself there's no one around to complain...lol

[spacedelete]

i don't even have 1 Mbps and still managed to play a game from play share. i can't see myself playing games like that with people miles away but with my brother in my own house who also has a PS4 its a miracle and we will be able to play essentially free games with each other without a downloading anything.

[isa_scout]

That's pretty cool that you can still use it if it's within the same house... Can you even play online games with that speed though? I thought mine was slow but dang.

[sprinterboy]

Gave a aussie babe a go at evil within and DC, she seemed to like it. Going to give her a go tomorrow on aliens.

[xKugo]

Works perfectly fine for me..though I have Fiber internet so that's probably why. If Sony could just fix all these damn down times with PSN, Xbox Live would seriously need to step their game up to compete. It's really the only thing the Xbox experience has over the competition right now, not including exclusives which is, as always, completely subjective.

[Moe-Gunz]

Been using it since 11am with no issues. My boy wanted to try a couple games out to see what he should buy. In love with this feature. You can also use it as a personal stream if the person passes the controller back to you (they still remain in the session and they see your screen).

[OUROSMAG]

Sunset overdrive and the release of shareplay, been a good week for gamers.

[kingvendrick]

Superb feature on a superb console.

PS4 the win.
