Wow didn't know this. Clever devs could do nice things with it!

cleft54493d ago

All the surprised for the PS4 are so wonderful. Never have I felt more positive about buying a console. Sony is really on point.

FamilyGuy4493d ago

"with a high enough number of comments, the player will gain beneficial effects."

That's a nice incentive to stream some game play.
I like this idea a lot, never knew what that "Interact" option was going to be used for.

Festano4493d ago

this is a very interesting thing.

rhcpfan4493d ago

I'm shocked you're not the first to comment.

godofboobees4493d ago

Leave sasuke alone. He will always be second best to itachi

akaFullMetal4493d ago

Is there a way yet to take over someone's broadcast? As if I was watching my friends broadcast, and then he can't beat a certain part, I could take over his ps4 with my ps4 and beat the part for him.

GribbleGrunger4493d ago

Yes, but I'm not certain it's been launched yet. They demoed it with Knack but it definitely isn't in Knack at the moment. Those features are probably going to be patched in later and could be more to do with PSNow.

Alexious4493d ago

Don't think so, this seems to be everything at the moment.

hkgamer4493d ago

possibly one of the best features, ive been hoping that someone would inplement this last gen.
would be the next step to single player games imo. basically a bunch of friends playing single player online, kinda like the old days where we had to pass the controller round.

BitbyDeath4493d ago

Sony mentioned it will come a bit later when the wrote the FAQ back in October-

"What PS4 software features have been announced, but won’t be available at launch in North America?

Share controller via the internet to assist a friend
Suspend/Resume mode
Wireless Stereo Headsets support
Wireless Stereo Headset
Pulse Wired Stereo Headset
Pulse Wireless Stereo Headset Elite Edition"

Wow great feature!

There's just so much positivity for PS4 at the moment. It's nothing like last (PS3) gen launch. Amazes me how much the tables have turned this gen.

Alexious4493d ago

Well, this is just because Sony learned their lesson the hard way in the previous generation. Let's hope that Microsoft does the same now.

SynestheticRoar4493d ago

W@W. Your right snookie the tables have turned.

I wonder if he tried to stop Shawn Layden from starting it?

Profchaos19d ago

Technically horizon came out in 2020 under Jim Ryan who took over in 2019

It's hard to tell who initiated the project but the Decima engine makes porting to PC fairly easy so who honestly knows if this was Jim's initiative or not I get the feeling it was

Redemption-6419d ago (Edited 19d ago )

It's actually not hard at all. Shawn Layden said he started it. Shawn Layden has confirmed that he was behind the strategy to bring PlayStation exclusive games to PC. Regardless of whether you hate Jim or not this wasn't his idea. It happened during his watch, but it was started before he took over. Below are links with him confirming it started with him

Fake news. He didnt say that.This video was posted on YouTube and on here they decided to change the title. Shame on you.

i81duce19d ago

At 5:16, he literally states the thing you say he doesn’t say. Did you even watch the video?

GotGame81819d ago

Sony already said they weren't porting to PC anymore. Or, at least that is how I interpreted a couple of articles. I think if it were not for Helix, that may not have happened.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga24d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199224d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga24d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman23d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box24d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion23d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7224d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7524d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit24d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14924d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7724d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
