erm shareplay is a system level thing, what do Acti have to do?

To me it's far and away the best COD campaign, in terms of adrenaline fuelled action if not plot, since the original Modern Warfare -it's a cracker with no expense spared, it's a shitfest for OR atm but assuming I get my DK2 soon i really hope its playable, its the kind of thing i'd like to see enjoyable on it

The MP looks typically uninspiring mind

Sony were quoted yesterday as saying while its a system level thing, debs have the power to disable it for individual titles. Dunno how true that is, but that's what they said.

exactly no engineering/patching needed acti side other than the decision to not allow it, because... peasant arent allowed.

It has the potential to work as an advert for some games. Not for an already massive franchise that usually runs at 60fps though.

But you can play the entire game so you'd have no need to buy it. Surely they could have implemented a time limit and all dev's would have been happy as it basically makes it a demo?

You need a friend willing to leave their PS4 running don't you? Puts it in the same bracket as borrowing the disc to me, just not as good.

Think it's 60mins?

There's a one hour limit. It then transfers back to the host so the host would need to be around to enable it again so the person sharing could continue. 

I still can't see me ever using this feature, as nice an idea as it is, it seems a bit redundant. As does the multiplayer side of it. When you can play online anyway what is the point?

I think it's a cracking idea. If you have a mate on whose like "hows Forza 2?' you can give them a go.
Or if Sparky (its always sparky) cant get past a bit or wants to know where a secret is then you can chip in get control and show them.

But people Chalice.
interaction.
shits and giggles.
the humanity

Anyway I have this on 360 for the teen im pedalling it to. He hasn't sent me his address so it looks like i might cane the SP this weekend and send it on Monday.

Here's the original story about the CoD blocking. There's an interesting update right at the end of Crossley's article that suggests that Sharing has also been disabled on CoD: Ghosts.

the plot thickens

Update1: Backtracking

True. So let me get this straight, when the host gives control over to the other player, the host will see everything the other player is doing on his screen? Is that vice versa?

Boss challenges and speedruns in games like Dark Souls could be fucking awesome fun if so. It'd be like passing the controller on the couch. 

If that's possible of course...

That's pretty much the size of it. Girlfriend's son was doing it last night with Destiny. He sat and watched his mate play and chatted over the mic. Pretty funky.

Indeed. Had a similar experience during an Atheon fight. All seats were taken so the fella dropped in to view someone's game for the big finale and was shouting out Supplicants and whatnot. Quality was fine apparently.  

A nice little perk really. 

I'm sure Tred mentioned he was using it lots for previously 'couch only' mp too. Towerfall Ascension is a great game but it's much more fun in mp. Works a treat apparently.

Bastardo!

Any time you need help with the Mordor sword challenges give me a shout.

Might be a region-switching thing matey, I had the same the other day with MCC - I just deleted one of them.
