How playing Far Cry 4 coop with your friends who don't own the game work..

Adam Boyes, said it's not the kind of coop-game were you play through the entire campaign together.
You'll be having tickets wich - you can drop over to your friends-list, wich then download a game-client, wich download the segment of the game you're playing, and can join you in your game in the coop-instance you're in. So it seems to be a specialised software thing, with a temporary license - not something wich allow them to jump into the game on PS Now, and complete it together with you.. :-/

Sounds like a great friend spurred interactive demo. If they like the game at all, they'll go buy it. Might be the start of a new thing, but I imagine it takes some decent amount of development time.

Sounds like a good idea. I wonder if more games will start to do something like this? It would be cool for fighting games especially to be able to invite a friend who doesn't have it so they could try it out.

sounds like a waste of time and I'm disappointed. I love how they didn't go into detail at the show and just tossed that awesome feature out there to get everyone hopes up. Glorified demo blah

I don't see why not..
Especially if PSNow becomes a thing, if you can do this with PSN-game licenses, spawn a certain amount and send to a friend - it shouldn't be even necessarry to build a special client for it. :-/
I'm fairly certain Ubisoft atleast will look at the stats, how many friend-invites beeing sent out, etc. :-/

Yeah, it seems like a really good way to drive sales for these publishers. Who better to sell your game than the gamers playing it?

You thought your friends could just play the whole game for free with you?

Why not? I really don't see how anything else is worthwhile at all. I'd never have my friend come in to play 1 random stupid mission. Seems like a giant waste of time. Glorified demo. I honestly see no reason to be hyped for this feature.

Only on PlayStation.

Sounds to me like the entire "Guns for Hire" co-op mode is available for free. GFH is basically co-op that let's you take on all the non-story content with a friend (which for a Ubi game we all know is 90% of the game). Not sure how that is now a demo.
