ps4 share play | GIZMODO.cz

The PS4′s SharePlay feature has met another road bump as Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare absolutely does not work with it. Turns out, this isn’t a bug, either.

The latest iteration of the PS4 firmware, codenamed Masamune, promised a world where gamers could share games with their friends without even leaving their homes. Turns out the highly anticipated Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is not amongst those.

Sony has had a rocky road so far ever since it updated their multi-million selling PS4 to firmware 2.0, and the introduction of shareplay. Their online service PSN has had quite some downtime and performance has been buggy overall, but now, the release of the latest Call of Duty marks the first game that does not work at all with it.

What SharePlay does is allow users to give up control and let someone else on their friend’s list take a turn from their own PS4 – like couch playing, but over the Internet. In the case of Call of Duty, though, the game marks all footage as censored, and this is exactly what Activision intended. As Sony explained to GameSpot, “Share Play is a system level feature enabled by System Software Update 2.0 making it available for all PS4 titles, however the option is available to developers to disable the feature according to what they feel will best benefit the consumer experience.”

The days of couch co-op, playing together and even passing the controller can be relieved in the most unique way thanks to Playstation. Keep reading to learn more.

Sony has been doing quite right by gamers as proven by their most recent console, the Playstation 4 selling over 10 million consoles in less than a year. Still, far from being complacent (let’s not forget, Microsoft scored a big one after naming Crystal Dynamics’ Rise of the Tomb Raider their most recent exclusive!), the Sony team are still looking for new ways to entice fans. One of these ways comes in the form of an update for the PlayStation 4, which starting from update 2.0 will be able to do what Sony deemed Share Play.

Share play basically means that the couch co-op (that is, playing together with friends using two controllers, or just passing yours along) can be done remotely, via the Internet. This is more than just online multi-player, this means that gamers can play without having to buy two copies of the game: say, you’re playing Diablo 3, and your buddy can join right in without having to buy Diablo 3 himself, as if he/she was sitting right next to you. Just like the good old days, except without leaving the house. Gamers can take turns, or play simultaneously if the game allows it, which is literally a game-changer, as it means to bring gaming to the masses: gamers now get to play whether they own the game or not, as long as one friend does.

Sony named some games that are already working on getting this functionality up, amongst which we can count NBA2K, Towerfall and Child of Light for now. System software update 2.0 for PS4 will come out “this fall”, and will also allow gamers to upload footage to YouTube amongst other new functionalities.
