Final Fantasy XV Disables the PS4 Share Button

Pure PlayStation writes, "One thing we didn’t see coming though (even if the demo last year did it) was the fact that Square Enix has decided to disable PlayStation 4’s share button for their latest title."

But Square Enix, sharing is caring. Didn't you watch any of PS4's first ads?

Kingthrash3603470d ago

I really been wanting to broadcast this game for a week now....I'm saddened by this news. I think people should see what they are getting.....it's much better than letting some dude you don't know share his opinion about how "the hair looks last gen". Smh.
Share play and broadcasts are some of the best ways to get your game sold....it sure isn't the gaming "jornalists" we have today.

eternalarsenal3470d ago

you can still broadcast your gameplay. you just cant shareplay with your friends.

Kingthrash3603470d ago

I hope so...that's great news. I wonder when they will allow it....anyone know when the embargo ends?

mikeslemonade3470d ago

Good. Benefits people like me who have capture cards. Now I will get more viewers.

_-EDMIX-_3470d ago

Technically it's not really going to stop you from sharing your gameplay with a capture card device.

admiralvic3470d ago

@ _-EDMIX-_

Depends. I uploaded the first like 10 minutes of Guilty Gear Xrd's story so people could see what it was like, something that was in a no sharing zone, and the company quickly came after me with a copyright claim. I got one strike on my YouTube account over it and I was pissed. I fought it, but nothing came of it.

mikeslemonade3470d ago

lol

@EDMIX most people are too cheap to get a proper capture card. It's like $150. I have Avermedia Livegamer HD internal though.

So I can't take pictures!?

littlezizu3470d ago (Edited 3470d ago )

You can take pictures, video and broadcast. you can't shareplay which lets a person without the game play it from a friend who has it. it is one of cool features of shareplay ps4 as ppl without game can try it from friend thru internet.

Caffo013470d ago

The article says that you can't take screenshots, doesn t talk about shareplay.

moegooner883470d ago (Edited 3470d ago )

Is this not a precaution till launch? I mean trophies display was also turned off for the game till hours ago. I think it is a temporary meausre since the photos taken in game by Prompto have a default share option.

GOODKylePS3470d ago

I really would love for that to be the case. But the trophy list being hidden until closer to launch day is an ongoing trait for many games nowadays. Sadly, that can't be used as a measuring stick. Here's hoping I'm wrong though.

Kingthrash3603470d ago

I've played it.....no bugs for me. Nothing game breaking or that takes you out the immersion.
From what I've played, it's a solid game.
What bugs are you talking about? I doubt you own it.

Ingram3469d ago

your doubt is well funded, I didn't even play the game. Didn't you see the article the other day about the bugs though?

Kingthrash3603469d ago

Naw I been playing it so no need to read bs outrage click articles.
It's letting me broadcast now....plenty of rAW and uncut vids on youtube. Bug free.

AndreR3470d ago

can they really do that? The share button is a part of the ps4. Why!

susanto12283470d ago

They can do it because there are millions of PS4 on the market...nothing the fanbase can do about it. Also, pretty sure it won't be the last time they do these authoritarian tactics.

kraenk123470d ago

I'm pretty sure it's just temporary until the launch...they don't want the whole game to leak in advance.

MikePWV3470d ago (Edited 3470d ago )

It's probably not temporary. There's plenty of PS4 games that don't have shareplay. It may be a part of the PS4 but that doesn't mean the developers have to make it mandatory to use. Look at all the Call of Duty games.

3470d ago
Big_Game_Hunters3470d ago

They don't want people sharing the many bugs the the game has.

Six Times When Games Turned Into A Horror Game

Ever play a game a game only to discover at some point it transforms into a horror game? No? Well Netto's Game Room shares six games that do just that!

Immediately thought of the El Dorado zombie dudes in Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

raWfodog387d ago (Edited 387d ago )

Not necessarily a ‘horror’ moment, but I remember feeling really tense and anxious when the Flood were first introduced in the original Halo. I never felt more on edge or nervous in that whole game as that moment. I think it was the whole buildup that something terrible was coming but you didn’t know exactly what.

Another non-horror game that had me feeling it was Subnautica. The deep dark depths, and knowing that sea monsters were lurking nearby, had me jumping at every sound.

NettosGameRoom386d ago

That scene where you first see them attack is pretty crazy!

Relientk77386d ago

I remember being scared of the Asylum level in the most recent Thief game from 2014.

Final Fantasy XV Datamine Reveals Hidden Chapter 14 Scene That Was Cut

A new datamine of game files from Final Fantasy XV has revealed a cut scene from Chapter 14 that didn't make it into the final release.

always liked 15, but the development was shch a shitshow. it could have been so much more.

but Tabata did a good job with what he had regardless

DivineHand125521d ago

Ff15 was a missed opportunity from square as they transitioned from turn based to real time.

One of the issues is that it was 30 fps. The combat mechanics required precision dodges to activate Noctis teleport ability and it was difficult to do at 30 fps. I am glad they rectified that in FF16. The story and flow also felt like it went through a chopshop similar to how some live service games end up when they are trying to meet a deadline. Those extra episodes they sold as dlc should have been in the maingame.

FF15 is one of the weaker entries in the series.

Z501520d ago

Dodges don't activate the teleport ability. Teleport was R1 + O. Dodge was just the O button. Explain the Black Hood (the item that automatically Dodges for you)

TheNamelessOne521d ago

Ah yes; FF XV.
The beginning of me coming to the realization the series was no longer for me.

Michiel1989521d ago

16 was a lot better, I think 15 was just a big mess with how development went and all. The music though, one of the best in the series, probably the only reason I finished the game.

Cacabunga521d ago

At least FF15 had RPG elements . 16 was just an action game from beginning to end.

Michiel1989520d ago

I rather have a good action game than a bad rpg with 2 button combat

Cacabunga520d ago (Edited 520d ago )

Then call it something else then FF. I got scammed with FF16. Nothing of what i expected it to be.
Even the action is bad in it, especially after the demo section where absolutely nothing happens until the very end.

FF15 isnt a great game but it has some variety at least.

CrimsonWing69521d ago

That initial trailer with the Leviathan fight was the game I wish we got. The actual retail release was watchdogged to all Hell and while there’s enjoyment to be had in the game, it’s such an incomplete product and so many elements feel so slapped together without any cohesion.

Like, don’t get me wrong, I loved fishing, cooking, and the first third of the game, but I much rather they made a story that didn’t feel barely there and the the last third of the game didn’t feel so rushed and unfinished.

Becuzisaid520d ago

Every time a party member left for a period of time screamed future paid dlc. It was horrible.

Imagine Dagger and Steiner making the party go to sleep in Lindblum in FF9 disc 1 and then taking off to Alexandria by foot themselves, but then never playing their side of the adventure in disc 2 when they smuggle her through the South Gate in pickles, take the cable car and fight the Waltz, head to Treno and start the quest to find Supersoft. They just eventually reunite with the main party in the future without explanation of what went on in their adventure.

Or Sephiroth's backstory in the famous Kalm flashback being added as a dlc pack. Same goes for Vincent, Cid, or Yuffie for that matter.

Oh and anything to do with Jenova, the Ancients, Aerith, her mom and Gast, shoved into a 2 hour CG movie or 5 hour anime ministries that's considered required viewing for anything in the main game to make sense or have characters actually be interesting.

I enjoyed FF15 at the time, and finished it, but it's bright spots are marred by a bad development cycle and a worse marketing scheme.

CrimsonWing69520d ago

What’s sad is when I watched a vid on the entire story (that wasn’t properly told in the actual game)!it was really solid and could’ve been one of the most epic stories in any FF. I think a lot of the compilation and cross-media stuff really f*cked it all up.

gurp521d ago

FFXV was underrated in my opinion
I have played all of the final fantasy games, and I loved this game
turn based to me takes too long, I like active battle
the extra dlc and chapters should have been included in the original release, but it is nice that they fixed the game later

Glad that I absolutely can't stand subscription services.

Petebloodyonion773d ago (Edited 773d ago )

I don't recall Sony forcing you to subscribe like nobody forced you to go to Blockbuster to rent games instead of buying them.

SonyStyled773d ago

Pay-per-view was almost cheaper than the cost of gas and rental fee from Blockbuster. Blockbuster doesn’t exist today. Are you being sarcastic?
