the second account can't do anything online. I tried 3/4 games and they all said the second account had to sign into PSN. We tried FIFA 15, CoD Ghosts and Diablo 3 for reference.

If the competitive has split screen then yes, he can play online with you.

just some notes:
there is a video quality setting. I'm unsure if that lowers the barrier to hosting by setting high to medium before having someone try to join.
the test to allow hosting seems to allow 1mbit uploads, but the result is not recommended. You really want low latency and over 2 megabit to actually play the game.
if the host turns on share play the potential guest has to be observant, because there is no alert, just a little controller icon appears. The guest has to go to the menu to select join to kick things off.
chat gets all screwed up during the connection test prior to the game.
at the end, the guest is left with the game icon in their xmb, if they didn't already have the game. Of course they can't run it. They can delete it though.

I'd like to give knack a go =)
I hosted 3 sessions already, 2 guys said it was very minor lag (less than PSNow according to them) only one said it was more noticeable but still not bad. No complains about IQ.

Yeah, having Vibration is so awesome over share play. Makes it that less remote.
Both users feel the vibration.
(Share play sex games confirmed).

I'll let someone play Driveclub for an hour if they let me test how it works with any of their games. Please have at least 10Mbps upload. US, east. PSN: tevinwade

I would like to lnow that too. I really want to play some PES 2015 demo online with friends!!!
For SP only the person doing the sharing has to have it, for co-op ps plus is require for both persons.
Likewise. I should be able to try it in a bit, and I'll let you know.
Edit: Doesn't look like it works.

I'm the one that's hosting. Even though I gave the controller, vibration feedback to comes through on my end.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eSN8Cwit_s Good vibrations confirmed?
on a serious note i'll probably let someone shareplay Samurai warriors 4 later.
Oh the possibilities...
Wondering,lets say I want to let someone play a game like Lords of The Fallen,he has to pick it up where I am at right...? he cant just start a new game and try a different class for 60 minutes right...?
And if I cant kill a Boss and he does it,its done for me also when share play ends...? or do I start back where I was before handing the controller....?

Imagine he is sitting there on the couch beside you.
You hand him your controller. He does stuff. Hands it back.
That's it.

If your friend kills a boss it will be dead for you as well. You are just giving the controller to him nothing else. If Lords has multiple save slots he can start a new game and play but that save will be on your game once he returns control I will just back up my saves just in case someone messes up my game
Alright I'll add you when I get home. Won't be able to play until tonight though.

I just share played with my brother in Tennesse and I'm in Cali. We were playing NBA 2K15. This is by far one of the best features. My brother said he wasn't getting any lag and he was playing like it.
Wait a minute. Was the connection better than an online game?

Local 2 player will be better I think.

I'm not an online player so I can't tell you how it compares. But it was a competitive quarter(5min) that's all we played had to go to work.
If the game supports online coop/multiplayer, its best for both of you to get the game.
However, #1 you can use Share Play even if your friend does not own the game, and #2, this can transfrom couchcoop-only games [there are few of them] into online coop.
That's quite a large distance.

i wonder if the share screen thing allows the koei games to broadcast all of the audio. Got to test that out later since its still bs that they cant work out some contract with the VAs to just allow people to stream it.
