Sony Patent Reveals Cloud Controller Sharing Could Bring Multiplayer Options To Single Player Titles

The patent was reportedly filed with the US Patent and Trade Office (USPTO) back sometime in 2018 and discovered by Dutch site LetsGoDigital. The patent filed references a “bifurcation of shared controls and passing controls in a video game”. In another description, Sony elaborates about the concept of multiple people being able to control the actions and movement of a single character. Shared across the board with other players.

Specifically, the patent describes two different scenarios. One is closer to the literal splitting of controller input among multiple players, called “split controller gameplay”.

Even then, his transition from his emo punk musical repertoire into his gloomy graphic regales of the Hargreeves kids do not come as much of a surprise. Is it then the subversive denial of traditional heroic values and virtues by our heroes themselves that raises Umbrella to a tour de force? Fuck no. Logan, Deadpool, Suicide Squad (they’re the bad guys, remember), Titans and whatever new IP DC has decided to pull out of Hot Topic closet has thoroughly mined that shaft dry....
