(We've seen reports that Minecraft Share Play works after its initial scene, but during our tests it failed to work at any point.) We were told the developers were waiting for Sony to explain what's up, and that, hopefully, it will be fixable via a patch. Developer 4J Studios seemed nonplussed when we asked about it. Here's a strange one: Minecraft: PlayStation 3 Edition is blocked. As you'd expect, all the Sony-developed games we tested worked. The publisher is looking into it for us.Ĭonversely, all EA games we tested worked fine. But Sleeping Dogs, Murdered Soul Suspect and Lords of the Fallen all work fine. We've asked Ubisoft for comment.Ī couple of Square Enix games are blocked: Thief and Tomb Raider. Overnight Activision released a statement on the matter, claiming their engineers didn't have time to test Share Play and so disabled it.Įlsewhere, Ubisoft download games Rayman Legends and Child of Light are blocked despite full price games Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag and Watch Dogs working without issue. In any case, Activision's own Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark works fine, too. But then developer Bungie owns the Destiny IP, so perhaps it put its foot down. This seems strange when Destiny, also published by Activision, does work. The majority of games work, but some, like Call of Duty: Ghosts and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, do not. If it doesn't, we say which message you get. We've grouped the games we tested by publisher. "Wait until the blocked scene has finished." "The host's game screen is not displayed because the current scene is a blocked scene for Share Play.
"If the host starts a game that you can view, the game screen will be displayed." "Viewing the game screen that the host is currently playing is not allowed due to content restrictions in your country or region. There are two different messages that explain why a game is being blocked. We wanted to find out whether that was a one off or whether blocking was widespread, so we tested as many games as we could get our hands on. Yesterday it emerged that Sledgehammer's first-person shooter Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare blocks PS4 Share Play. But, nearly two weeks into its life, it does not.
Sony has said it wants Share Play to work with all PS4 games. But with Share Play two people can play against each other from the comfort of their homes. The wonderful Towerfall Ascension, for example, does not feature online multiplayer. And in some cases it lets you do play in a way the game proper does not. Share Play works through streaming, so resolution and frame-rate aren't at their best. As long as both players are PlayStation Plus subscribers, it should work. It's designed to let the player who owns the game, aka the host, virtually pass their controller to an online friend who doesn't own the game. Share Play is one of the PlayStation 4's most eye-catching features.
