So how long is the P.T teaser? 5-10 mins?

Might check it out tonight.

That sounds like the worst idea ever.

Why the game would be even better for people who like that type of game lol I would probly try it out once and never play it again

Yeah bro, I'm messing lol. That would be absolutely insane if they got it working with Morpheus. I would probably need therapy afterwards.

Farcry 3 is a great game

I can't put it down

Via Kotaku:

So, Sony's upcoming update feature is going to let me borrow and play my friends' games without actually owning them? Holy crap, I'm on board. But how does it work? And what game limitations (if any) are there?

"How it works is, for example, say, a friend has a game that I don't. I ask them to let me play it, and if they send me an invitation, I can access their PS4 and play while watching the video that is streamed." Said Sony Worldwide Studio big man, Shuhei Yoshida, explaining the new SharePlay feature in an interview with Weekly Famitsu. "You could call it a mini PlayStation Now."

That sounds pretty damn awesome. While you may expect some sort of limit in what specific games will be compatible, Yoshida assured that aside from games that use the PlayStation Camera, like PLAYROOM, any game that can be played with the Dualshock 4 will be playable via SharePlay. "There is no need for developers to do anything for their games to be compatible with SharePlay." Yoshida said.

Another feature is that players can save their game data to their own account, rather than their host's. "You can save your save data to your own account, so if you like a game you played via SharePlay, you can buy it for yourself and continue where you left off." Yoshida explained. "Or, if you get stuck in a game, or there's an enemy or stage you find difficult, you could hand over the reins to a friend for those areas."

Note that because SharePlay is basically the streaming of gameplay between 2 PS4s, it stands to reason that whoever is lending their game will basically be lending both their game AND their PS4. If your friend wants to borrow a game for an hour or so, it means you won't be able to use your PS4 during that time – unless it's to assist, disrupt, or just plain troll your friend.

Another catch is that since this is a PS4 exclusive feature, it is currently limited by the PS4 library, which, at the moment, is not as extensive as its predecessors'. This is a limitation that Sony is obviously hoping to change in the upcoming months.

SharePlay will be an included feature in the upcoming 2.0 system update for the PS4, scheduled for some time this year, and I can't wait to try it out.

 

[wartortle]

Wow, shareplay sounds awesome. 

 I can't imagine how well it will run though. There has to be some kind of delay, right? I would think you would need really good connection on both ends for it to be playable. But who knows, maybe they will surprise me. 

 

[blackboyfly]

Wait, Shareplay will work with every PS4 game...

Thats what im thinking. Glad I got that Fios Quantum lol

 

[jayfiend]

Man I really want to start streaming. How difficult is it to do?

And Shareplay sounds amazing!

I'm sure you might be able to speed run it in 10 minutes but I spent a good 40 minutes trying to figure it out.

Shareplay is awesome. Basically remote local co-op and assistance.

If remote play can perform as well as it does I can't see why Shareplay won't be better since you can hardwire PS4's.


All that Gaikai tech is really coming in handy. Remoteplay, PS Now and now this.

 

[iYen]

Farcry 3 is a great game

I can't put it down

the mp is fun as well

i'd reccomend spending most your time crafting better items than anything else.

yeah that was a smart buy from them. Instead of saying our game will get better because of the cloud they are showing why the brand is getting better because of it.

I watched 8:30 of IGN's play through of the Teaser and had to exit because I knew something on the horizon would make me **** myself.

I'm vagina. I know.

If it makes you feel better there really isn't any jump scares, maybe 1 or 2. The horror comes from little things that you start to notice over time. I had my controller paused for a while to check my phone and a  voice from the game said, "Taking a break huh?" I literally left my room as fast as I can and took a breather.

GOOOD GRIEF.

That MGS guy is a legit jerk.

I remember playing MGS1 and freaking out when Psycho mantis was reading my memory card. I was baffled.

MGS dude gonna troll the **** out of that game good lord

 

[Ricky D]

Reading your memory card, WTF

 

[iYen]

 

To me, m$ is listening to the fans(backpedaling), while $ony is doing what they want since they're in the lead.
One aspect of the xb1 that we can all agree is better than the ps4 is that that console gets updated with more useful features.
I can't even remember the last useful ps4 update(besides the gimmick that is 3d blurays).

People have to remember MS is a software company. They can pump out updates like its nobodys business because they have the best in the business working on updates. Then you take a look at Sony purely a hardware base company. slow to churn out updates because one big code mistake can set them back. Both of the system makers strengths show Sony small form factor system with power advantage, but lacks software updates.
Microsoft Updates add tons of features, but the system is the size of a shoe box because they are scared it doesnt have enough cooling IE they don't want another 360 type problem.

Good to know, so people can expect which console will be getting said hopefully game enhancing features first.

mp3 support and saving games on HDDs are GEing features.

 

[ScroogeMcBuckz]

Reading your memory card, WTF

It was in the game, you either had to put your memory card or controller in the second player slot or PM would dodge everything.

 

[offwhitewhite]

Stop what you're doing and go play Metal Gear Solid.

The crazy thing is he also noticed if you played other Konami games lol! GOAT!!!!

That was some epic fourth-wall ish... blew my mind!

It's like 18 mins but the "puzzles" are hard so it can last you awhile. People are only playing up until a certain point not realizing it's not over yet.

Nah like I said last night Kojima is the Proto-Troll. That Meryl's number is on the cd case trick

 

[offwhitewhite]

"The one thing that I can say about Silent Hills, and this is something I've been discussing with Guillermo del Toro as well, is that originally we were thinking of making a game that would make you pee your pants, but at this point we've changed our minds, and now we're aiming for a game that will make you **** your pants," Kojima bluntly declared during the live broadcasted Konami event.

"One thing that you have to keep in mind is that, if a game is too scary, people just won't play it. In movies or attractions ... if it gets too scary you just keep your eyes shut and soon it will be over. But if it's a game, people will just stop. So that's why there's a limit on how scary you can make a game.

"But in this case we're totally ignoring that and, you know what? If you don't want to keep on playing through the game, so be it. We don't care. That's the game we are aiming for, we're aiming for a game that will make you **** your pants. So, players, make sure you have a change [of clothes]," said Kojima.
 

   

 Kojima basically calling out casual gamers and telling them to **** and go back to posting on Reddit. I can't contain my hype for the new Silent Hill. 

 

[wartortle]

Kojima is that dude.

m$ offers dedicated servers for their games. Titanfall and Forza 5 use them to my knowledge.

One example of "the cloud" making a game better would be Forza Horizon 2. It features driveatars. Which are AI that supposedly act/drive in the same way you/friends do. In FH2, your game is populated with your friends' driveatars rather than computer controlled AI.

IMO, that's a solid reason of how the cloud makes a games better.

 

[KingParappa]

Why did you give this man a horror game? Him and Del Toro have sick minds. Can't wait for this. I have to get it day one and stream it. Need that playstation camera for that.

"Cloud computing" is just a buzz term to get casuals excited about a Console. That "driveatars" feature has been done before without the "Cloud". There's no need for it at all.
