Major PS4 System Software Update v2.0 Available NOW

But shouldn't the whole purpose of SharePlay should be that anyone from any part of the world can join and have a smooth experience? (depending on their internet speed ofcourse)

I don't think Sony is capable of changing the laws of physics. Of course there'll be more latency if it's from the other side of the world.

Any word on whether both users can unlock trophies while co oping a game with shareplay? For example, a friend and I both own spelunky and towerfall and want to get some coop in. Will we both be able to unlock trophies if we both meet the requirements for the trophy?

Not too fussed if this feature isn't available at launch, but if it isn't, Sony should consider it for a future update.
 
Let's talk about the stupid startup beep. Let's have a whole thread devoted around the absolute stupidity of it. The backwards, negative, idiotic decision that it is.

Only the host gets trophies.

They can't, latency will be there depending in the distance but couldn't their network team optimise the usage of bandwidth somehow when the game is being streamed?

SharePlay was something they showed pre launch of the system right? i remember them saying you could hand over the control to a friend to help you beat a boss, though this SharePlay is more cool, maybe suspend/resume is next year?

no trophies for guest
 
The first rule of waiting on NeoGAF for something to come out is "never believe the first person who says it's out."

This isn't designed to let player two have free games. It's designed to let player two play on player one's console for a bit. Player two will NEVER be able to unlock trophies on their own account through this. Not ever.

Hey.. you made me restart my PS4.. :( That fucking beep can wake the whole building up at 3AM.

Seriously, fuck that stupid startup beep. What the fuck.

Lol I just clicked on the System Software Update option instead of restarting the PS4.... I aint got time to wait for a reboot.

Like I said, it will work as well as Remote Play. The lack of specific data centres means this isn't like PS Now where everything is server side and connecting to the server closest to you, it's going to be more dependent on the number of hops the connection between you and your friend needs to take. I haven't attempted Remote Play from a far off land, but if that works for someone, there's no reason this won't as well since it's the same concept.

Don't think so, one guy is just streaming his game.

I hate that beep, and I hate this fucking buttons that I press when I just want to remove some dust (especially on 360 slim... Beep beep beep). Give me some analog button that made a lovely ancient click or clank sound.

Will Sony have purchasable themes at the time of the launch of the update?

I hope they have some good set of themes to buy.

Compatibility with PS3 themes would be nice, I would like to use my Premium Dark Souls II theme.

And they have. Remote Play works fine from the other side of the world, but it's not latency free, so it works better for some game genres than others.

Fantastic that finally pause and resume for downloads are in. Will help greatly manage my data cap in putting some of the PS+ games on the back burner till month rolls over.

Still... Not happy it took almost a year for such a basic feature.

Aren't they including an 'add to library' feature with this release that lets you buy games but not automatically download them. So even without pause/resume you'd be able to grab all the PS+ games without worry.

Damn. How does it usually work in local coop? If I go to a friend's house and sign in to my account as p2, can I earn trophies with my own account?

I suppose you missed the part of my post where I asked about situations where both players own the game.

I never once suggested it was about p2 getting free games.

Ditto. But it would be nice if I could disable that irritating sound whenever you scroll through the menu.

Yea many PS+ free games have local coop why not let us get trophies?

Well if that's the case then SharePlay is a bigger feature than remote play so I guess we could have cautious excitement...
