The #PS4share button on the DualShock 4, complimented by industry altering innovations like Infamous Second Son’s photo mode, have proven to be the most impactful & influential features to come out of this generation of console gaming. Even more impactful than GamePass.
It’s allowed for millions of gamers across the globe to share content experienced on PlayStation with ease & without having to splurge out $100+ on capture card or use a blurry phone camera. It also “helps developers gain recognition for their art and breathe new life into
their games; it lets players express themselves and explore their favorite games in new ways. But perhaps most importantly, it allows players and developers the chance to bond through a desire to share, discuss, and reflect on those moments.
Because of that, photo mode isn’t just a tool – it’s a means of genuine human connection.” Photo mode ultimately brings gamers and developers together like non-other. It allows for games to “sell themselves” to people seeing the intricate details and effort put into games.
Ultimately, I can’t wait to see how the DualSense’s Create Button builds upon the industry changing success of the share button. Gamers will thankfully be able continue sharing hours worth of content with ease, forming connections with those around the world, and developers.
