    PS4 SharePlay - Playing with friends and lag

    I was wondering if we were to play a 2 player game with a friend using PS4's new SharePlay feature, would there be less lag than playing with a friend the traditional online way. I'm not home right now to try it out , but if anyone wants to give it a shot and post back the results. That would be great. I am definitely going to try it out later tonight tho.

    It would be like picking a 2 player local game, but playing online together with the shareplay feature. The online lag right now is pretty much unbearable and was hoping that this could possible make it better experience until they fix the lag (if ever)

      That would be awesome, unfortunately, my pessimism is getting the best of me here. I surely hope I'm wrong because I can see this getting a LOT of airtime from me if it works as it's supposed to.

          If SharePlay work better than the crappy 2K servers, should 2K look into implement its game using SharePlay as the main mode for the one-on-one competitive online gaming??

            Both. If you both want to play together/against each other, then both MUST have Playstation Plus. If you just want your friend to play your games by themselves, then he/she doesn't need Playstation Plus...just internet connection.

              If both are PS plus members you can play 2-player. If only the host is plus, you can only "pass the controller" to the friend, so to speak.

                  Hate to be the "negative Nelly" here but I wouldn't get my hopes too high on it working as advertised... unfortunately, that's also a reality of next gen.

                    It works exactly as advertised. I played my brother across the country in FIFA and he said there was barely any input lag. Afterwards I let me play the game by himself for an hour(the timelimit allowed) while I did some work related stuff.

                    After the hour is up, you just re-do it all again. Takes no more than a minute to get all setup.

                      Does the one hour limit happen when you are playing versus one another as well?

                        I watched a buddy of mine play some of his my career player with this feature last night. It worked flawless....with a second or less lag between what he was seeing and I was seeing. We didn't play a vs. game..... but I can tell you that there is a timer that is counting backwards on the playshare option inside the chat screen if you look.

                          Tried it with Madden, WOW!! My nephew might as well been sitting on my couch. Smooth as butter (sorry about the cliche).

                            This sounds really good.
