Read the OP and skimmed part of the thread, but didn't see this answered:
What's the file size? Or is it known?
I always ask this, because my Internet sucks.

What are you going to do now DX12 games are starting to come out like Rise of the Tomb Raider and Quantum Break?
Moan that Microsoft should make games for DX11 so people on Windows 7 can play?

They go on about how they can't do that since it'd be a huge change to the PSN infrastructure. Presumably they've used the PSN ID as a Primary key in their databases, or something silly like that.
I've always thought a good work-around would be, say, instead of letting you change your PSN ID, allow players to give that PSN ID a nickname.
For example, my PSN ID Pankratous could have the nickname BigHairyWalloper.
On any online game, all other players would see me as BigHairyWallopr, but my root PSN ID would still be Pankratous.

Both work great for me. In fact I've been using that 3rd part Remote Play PC app for months on my Surface Pro 4 and it's been rock solid.
Every now and then? Not difficult. All the time when you have a family that all have demands on when to use the TV? Massive pain in the ass. And you wear your connectors out that way too.
No, thanks. There are still too many issues with Windows 10 and software that I use frequently. "Free" is not reason enough for me to go from a perfectly functional PC to something that won't be.
I'll give it another look when Service Pack 1 is released.

Step your broadband up homie, shareplay works flawlessly.
Remote play on the Xperia Z3/C did not work well by any stretch of the imagination.

I'm gonna go back to 7 soon on my laptop.
8.1 wouldn't allow it to go to sleep, plus it was crap. 10 runs runs like garbage every few days for reasons I can't seem to fix and it's a common enough issue that it's so hit or miss depending on your set up.
Shame really because I was looking forward to using RP on my laptop instead of Vita.
Windows 10 takes away the ability of controlling your updates. The only version that allows to do so for real is the enterprise edition,

I'm glad it works for so many people, but it's pretty sketchy on Vita and Vita TV for me. Hopefully this new iteration provides a better experience. My internet is irrelevant as I always do it at home.
When shareplay works, it *works* well. But it's a toss up for me when inviting people. My speed is fine.

Oh well, good that the update is coming, but I was kinda hoping for more features than these already announced last month.
As is, absolutely zero features I care about, so nothing to get excited about.
I was excited for PC remote play, hoped I'll be able to play from work, but it's a no go because it's a Win7 computer.
Now I am at the point where I'll be delighted if the update doesn't brick my console.

Windows 10 is still free for another couple of months.

It's not like I need DX12 to get video streaming in Windows to work.
Is DX12 even on Win8? So how does that argument even make sense.
If they can make it work on Android and Vita why not Win7?
Thanks, didn't realize it was a permanent free upgrade. (as in not a trial). Still, scared to jump to that OS... my wife has it on her new laptop and I'm not a fan.
Cool! thanks!

Also why would I upgrade to Windows 10 to play Quantum Break and ROTR?
I'm not upgrading my OS for the "privilege" of entering the walled garden of a mess than is UWA so far.
QB doesn't even run well on a 980 ti at least from that preview that was posted... that I don't even have anyway (that GPU I mean).
"What will I do without UWA and Quantum Break." Use my PC for all the other things I've already been using it for.
Everything that's new is better until it's not.

Lmaoooooo!
It's not all that different from Windows 7. As in, it's not a gigantic piece of shit like 8 was.
A buggy mess? Hardly. At release there were some issues. Those issues aren't really there anymore. The world is moving on to Win10. As I've already mentioned, if you want the latest features, compatibility, and patches: upgrade. If you want to stay on old software, go ahead, but don't complain when things don't work and you passed on a free upgrade.
I assume by 'data' you mean your ISP's data caps?
No, playing in your own house should not use any 'data' in that sense. Bandwidth in that particular case means the throughput of your hardware and type of connections you have (i.e. are you using a wired connection or wireless?).

The appear offline and notification options are needed, and the remote play PC feature which I had forgotten about will also come in handy. Sounds good.

Not your internet data. Just how much bandwidth on the connection from your PS4 --> Router --> PC. No internet used.
But the connection has to be strong enough/high bandwidth enough to maintain quality/framerate without becoming splodgey and blocky.
Not sure if they said you can direct connect from PS4 to PC, that would be cool though (my PS4 is right next to my desktop lol).
For those asking 1080p RP, PS4 never supported that.
PS4 launched with 720p30 DVR support [game DVR, remote play and streaming], and later this was updated to 720p60 [which slashed lag a bunch, even for 30fps games]. Video record lenght was always limmited to 15mins.
I guess they don't want to give more resources to this background task. I expect upgrade of this feature only when PS4K arrives.

I did an entire run through of BB on Vita remote play. Touch screen ripostes and all.

Well I knew about it for the Vita. And I've done Shareplay with my bro. I guess I'm just surprised about it being opened up to non-Sony devices - and I'll be curious about the performance.

the problem with it being a windows store app is that some of us that use Windows 10 don't want to sign up for an MS account and enable all that in our OS. we prefer to have things work "offline" like with Windows 7.
so i guess i won't be remote playing from my PC's.

Things didn't work when I upgraded. They sure worked before, so....
Also, they are not getting me back to Win10 for a while. How take out your control of the updates and then proceed to introduce new bugs with those forced updates... yeah no thanks

oh it isn't?
hopefully it's really a standalone app. i'll believe it when the link is live.
As far as I know, Xbone streams gameplay to Win10 (and Oculus) in 720p60, same as PS4.
Works well on my Xperia Z3 Compact tablet, maybe I'm lucky.

I hope they fixed the network speed issue, because when I was in the beta I got locked at like 3mbps down. Couldn't figure out what was wrong until I went back to the official firmware and went back up to 70mbps.
Cool, thanks!
I should be able to get a decent connection going since both PC and PS4 are on Ethernet and my router (Nighthawk AC1900) received a lot of recommendations when I was in the market.
