Man this is going to be huge. All have to do now is wait for my friends to wake the hell up so we can test this out.

It's all good!

Enjoy it for an hour lol. Let me know if there's a game you haven't played and want to try that I may have.

How's the lag? You're in Spain I presume?

Yep, Spain, In a few minutes I'll upload the video.
Thanks :=)

Some compress blocks, a few (really few) input lag but experience is really really good.
How was your distance with me?

Sounds like a really cool feature, I'm going to try and get a few people to try DC tonight, do you know that if I put on a custom soundtrack (being the host and using the USB music player) will they hear it? I'm guessing yes

Didn't know there was a thread on this, reposting from the update one:

I've been testing shareplay and it works surprisingly good. I was hosting with a 100/10 connection tho.

When I tried to join my friend with an adsl 10/1 the system told us the connection was to slow for shareplay so I don't know what would be the min requirement for it to work.

I may add that as long as you don't close the shareplay session, the guess can go in and out as he pleases.

Yea theres no way a 1mb upload can handle streaming as host. I'm stuck in the same boat, I have a 2mb upload. I think 5mb and up should be fine.

I don't think it'll work that way... :(

Let's try it out. Lol.

Thanks for inviting me for a minute, I just quickly checked it out but I dont have time now for more testing.

Anyhow we are a half a world apart, and it was just on the border of being playable. :D Video quality was great, but lag was noticeable. I could probably play it like that, but finding a host that is at least in the 1000-2000 km range of me in the same continent [you were at 6500km+ across the Atlantic using Google Earth ruler measurement] would be much more preferable. :D

edit - scratch that, we are 7300km apart and I just noticed my torrent was active. :lol:

Fun time share playing with Carl, and I think it got him to finally play his free copy of dust too :p

I'm in Florida, he's in UK and it was noticeable but playable lag.
Lego Marvel wouldn't work, because of region restrictions or something?

Considering I thought racers and fighting games would be the thing to suffer, this is amazing to read.

Love reading the impressions.

Tried it out with a friend in Winnipeg, Canada (10/2 connection), hosting from my PS4 in the NY area (50/50 connection.)

He reported artifacts and about 1s lag/delay on input.
Fast action games like Infamous were playable, but not very fun.
Semi-turn based game like Transistor works great, and I've just convinced him to purchase a copy.

Overall, it was a great experience for me just watching and chatting with in real time.
Really hope this is the future of game streaming for all platforms.

I just share played with my brother in Tennesse and I'm in Cali. We were playing NBA 2K15. This is by far one of the best features. My brother said he wasn't getting any lag and he was playing like it.

I think the SharePlay feature is going to be cool for about two minutes after people try it, and go "wow, there is a lot of input lag doing this. Kinda hard to play this game being streamed halfway across the country".

When it says connection is too slow, who is at fault (I'm not the host)?

I have already hosted a game fine, and I have 60/20.

I wouldn't mind trying this out at some point tonight, I've not had my PS4 long so I don't have much to offer:

Destiny
TLoU: Remastered

Wouldn't mind having a go on Drive Club, Shadows of Mordor, The Evil Within or Alien: Isolation.

PSN: MilesOfPower

EDIT - Sorry, UK here..I should be on around 7-8pm onwards for a couple of hours.

LOL, Looks like Bruiser may have mistaken a bit, or at least mis-judged the excitement and potential of this feature. . This SharePlay feature is awesome and really seems to be impressing people. The cool thing is that I didn't see happening, is all the new friends that are coming out of this.


People inviting others to try their games, its a cool little feature that appears to be strengthening the PSN community at least on Day 1.




EDIT: I would really like the try WWE2k15 if anyone is picking that up. Add me on PSN - Filth_Flannigan



I have darn near every decent PS4 game it seems if anyone wants to try them out. I will list my games in this thread later.
