PS4 game sharing question. Can 3 people play a game that only 1 person download on 3 different PS4's?
PS4 Game sharing is the official Sony feature that lets you share digital games with friends, and draws a parallel to how easy you could share physical games with friends. As Digital games are becoming the norm, system exists on the PS4 to let you share your digital games and is officially supported by Sony.PS4 Game sharing with 3 people – tutorialJust to clear it up, the 3rd person is the holder of the account. It is NOT 1 owner and 3 other people. Also In case you do not know what PS4 game sharing is. It’s exactly what it sounds like. Sharing games.Step 1: Put your account as secondary on your PS4. Your first friend can activate his PS4 as your primary PS4. You can find this option in the settings: Settings > PlayStation Network/Account Management > Activate as Your Primary PS4 > Activate.Congrats, If you made it that far, you’re in “typical” PS4 Game sharing mode: your friend can play and download your games without using your login information because his PS4 is your primary PS4. You, on the other hand, can still play and download your games on any PS4 (including yours) because you have your credentials. You can stop here if you only want to share your games with one Friend, but keep reading if you want to share with a third person.Step 2: After the first friend has downloaded (Mooched off) the games he wants, tell him to launch a game. Only Launching.NOTE: I don’t have any proof that you NEED to do the launch thing,But I’ve read it on some places so worth trying anywaysStep 3: After this, Login to the PSN Site Online and select the ‘Deactivate devices’ setting. Do tell your first friend not to sign in again thoughCan mess things up. The games will still work on his console as long as you do this.NOTE: This deactivate option is only available every 6 months, so if you’ve already deactivated it once, sorry no way past that.Step 4: Afterwards, give the account information to your second friend and let him mooc- I mean download games off of you. Here again, set his console as your primary PS4 again.Step 5: Let your second friend keep the account as primary because YOU (The Owner) will probably just play on this account (Secondary works OK) Your friends will be able to play YOUR games from THEIR accounts.
Can I "Gameshare" with a physical copy of a game?
You could literally give a copy of your game to your friend, if that’s what you mean, however with the way most systems work today, including Origin or Steam, it becomes progressively harder and harder for you to share your games with friends.This problem for gamers is mostly PC-specific, because on PS4 for example you can actually take your physical copy with you to your friend and essentially give him the same copy of the game, usually with no value lost in the process. You can also share your copy of the game with one friend and can play it together simultaneously, which is how me and my friend played Destiny on PS4.One way to do that on PC is to purchase your game from a specialized site such as GOG.com, which would allow you to effortlessly share your game with a friend as their games come DRM-free (which means they do not restrict the number of simultaneous players on the same copy and they do not have any built-in protection for their copies, which would stop you from sharing the game with your friend).I’m not going to go into details as to why it works like this, because you didn’t ask, but I think what is important for you is to know whether or not you can share your game with a friend before you buy it and then search for an alternative that works for you!
Red Dead Redemption map size?
Compared to what people think, the map isn't actually that big. Since 2010 I learned my way round that map so easily I wouldn't ever need a way point. I'm not sure on a comparison between GTA IV, but RDR is 2.5x the size of San Andreas map. They kind of fit everything into one map. To the north there are are the snowy mountains, to the south is Mexico, to the east are the more modern cities and to the west is more wild, desert wilderness areas. In single player you see people that are lost that you need to help, they say they have been stuck in the wilderness for ages but there's a small town just down the road from them, I think they have made everything into a smaller map.
Red Dead Redemption vs Mafia II vs LA Noire?
I can tell you this, I have all three. Mafia 2 is a great game if your looking for a good story, but nothing more. The story is very, very entertaining, especially if you enjoy old school gangster movies. Besides story, however, there is nothing more to do. I didn't have a problem with that, but many people do. The characters are very, very likeable, and really make you care about what happens to them. Unfortunately, Mafia 2 has no multiplayer, and since it is a very short story, there is the least to do, I would not recommend this over the other two titles, unless you are looking for a good, quick game. RDR is a great game. It has an amazing story, that tells of loveable anti-hero, John Marston. The characters in this game are very funny and again, like Mafia 2, make you care about them. The story is very long, and enjoyable. In addition to having a great story mode, there is so, so much to do. I have had the game for months, and still haven't beaten the story. There is hunting, helping strangers, games, flower picking, and strongholds. Another HUGE plus to this game is.....MULTIPLAYER. I for one like multiplayer, but play usually single player most of the time. I have played multiplayer, and it is very fun. You can free roam, team deathmatch, and regular deathmatch. This has the most repalyibility. LA Noire, I do not no much about. I pre-ordered the game from Gamestop (so I could get an extra case) and it is expected to come tomorrow. From the reviews I have read, and the gameplay trailers I have seen, this game is like no other. This is like GTA in the way that it is open world, but that is it. There is some violence, but most of the game is an adventure/ detective game. The story mode is 20+ hours, and looks to be the best of the three in that sense. In addition to having an awesomely long and intriguing story, there are over 40 side-mission/ street crimes. There is no multiplayer, but that doesn't matter to me, since the story and side-missions sound awesome. Personally, I think that my favorite will be LA Noire, because I love detective/ crime thrillers. The story is awesome, and the gameplay and street crimes are awesome. If you are looking for the most to do, then it is RDR. If you are looking for the best overall, I think it will be LA Noire. Mafia 2 is fun, but if you to get one of the three, then get LA Noire. This is strictly personal, but I am giving you an honest answer.
Do you have an Xbox One?
Not yet. I’ve never been much of a first adopter, so I decided to wait. Not to mention, I was still playing Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Skyrim, Red Dead Redemption, and the Bioshock series on the 360, so those, combined with having 3 kids, I had enough to keep me busy. And I believe back then too, the backward compatibility feature hadn’t yet been introduced, so I wasn’t interest yet.Then as I started thinking more about it, the next gen-next gens (PS4 Pro and the Xbox One X) were rumored, so I again waited…figuring I’d rather have the upgraded versions, and am in no hurry still.Fast forward to now, the PS4 Pro came out last year and the Xbox One X just came out…I still plan on welcoming myself to the next gen, but moving plans are swirling with us now, so I really don’t want to take the plunge until we’re settled.Long way to say NO, right?
