Activision Explains Lack of Share Play for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare on PS4

The Internet was doing its usual Internet thing these past few days. They were upset that Activision had apparently blocked off the entirety of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare from being shared through the new PlayStation 4 feature, Share Play.

"Delivering a great gaming experience for fans is our top priority," the company says in a statement we received via email. "We’re focused on launching Advanced Warfare and ensuring that people have a great time playing it, which our fans seem to be. Share Play is a new feature that was introduced as part of the recent PS4 firmware 2.00 update. Our engineers didn’t have access to it before it launched, so we haven’t had a chance to evaluate it to see how it will impact the experience across all modes of play. Of course we wouldn’t include a feature in our game without having the chance to test it. Once we’ve fully analyzed its performance, we’ll determine how to support it going forward."

So go ahead and put down the pitchforks.

  I'm okay with this honest explanation. To be fair, Share Play isn't really suitable for long distance gaming on twitch shooters like Call of Duty, where a second of lag from the connecting player's control input would mean instant death. Or at least I think Call of Duty is still a twitch shooter, unless mechanics have changed from what I last remembered.
