lol what? Sony announced Share Play way before the XBO was even announced. This feature has nothing to do with M$. I'm super excited for it. It also lets other people take control of your second controller, so if games are ever local co-op only they can be played as online co-op

Far Cry 4 has already been advertised as such, but with limitations in place. I wonder if the feature will be limited on other games, or, hypothetically, you load the game and a friend plays the whole thing, thus avoiding the purchase.

farcry's feature however works in a different way. the ones who dont own the game have to download an "app" (which is basically the game content) on their PS4 and then the owner of the game sends it to them so they can access the content for 2 hours.

 

share play is streaming the content from one PS4 to another.
