    Sony PlayStation Gamescom 2014 Press Conference Livestream


    The Sony PlayStation Gamescom 2014 Press Conference is starting now, watch it here.

    UPDATE: If you missed the stream, you can watch the archive here.

    Addendum: Here are a few things you might've missed being announced which are coming to the 2.0 software version for the PS4.
    • Sharing of videos to YouTube directly from the console.
    • Share Play, the ability to co-op play games you don't even own with friends, completely remotely.
    • "The best way to think about Share Play is like a “virtual couch”. PlayStation 4 will create an online local co-op experience by allowing you to invite a friend to join your game—even when they don’t own a copy of it. With this first-of-its-kind feature, you’ll be able to play games with a friend just as if you were together in the same room. Let’s say that with games… you’ll be able to invite your friend online to play against the Miami Heat for the championship as the San Antonio Spurs in NBA2K, tackle the challenging Towerfall Ascension Quest Mode together, or aide, heal, and protect you as Igniculus in Child of Light’s local co-op mode."
    • Enhanced What's New feed.
    • Version 2.0 is coming this Fall, will be available to download for existing PS4 owners.

      share play seems pretty cool.You can play game with your friends or against them even if they don't own the game on their console.

        Lmao @ the Metal Gear Solid box trailer. Kojima could've stayed in Japan if that's all he had to show.

          Yeah, definitely some technical difficulties. But the gist was that a PS Plus owner could "hand off the controller" to friend who doesn't yet own the game. Interested see more details on how they make this work.

                More info on Share Play:

                Since we first unveiled PlayStation 4 and its deep social capabilities, including the SHARE button, we’ve seen an outpouring of excitement from gamers. The PS Nation has rallied around a culture focused on sharing epic gaming moments through Live From PlayStation, interactive streaming, SHAREfactory, What’s New and Photo Mode in exclusive PS4 games like Infamous [...]

                  Beside Until Dawn and the announcement of share play, it was a bit of a snoozefest for me.

                    Share Play sounds interesting, but its going to be entirely relient on the internet of the person who's hosting the session since it sounds like the other player will just connect to their PS4. Probably going to be some latency given its just home internet and not pulling from some data center like PSNow is.

                    Liked what I saw from games though. Tomorrow Children and Wild both look neat, though I'm not really sure what the gameplay even is in those games. Tearaway Unfolded looks great too, especially if you didn't have a Vita.

                      The virtual couch idea behind Shareplay is fantastic. Very excited for this.

                        Good thoughts....DayZ is a good pull for sure.

                          This conference really hammered home the point that Vita is DOA as far as new platform specific content goes. Not only do they show nothing for it, but it loses the exclusivity of one of its better games.

                          There are still a few new games I know have been announced previously that I'm interested in, but to see nothing further in this press conference is disappointing.

                            If both players' connections are up to snuff, it can definitely work with very minimal latency. PSNow is proof of that. And I didn't need more than 10 mb/s down/ 2 up to have a good experience with that.
