Why Share Play is game changing.

I just wanted to chime that I understand this service will not work for all games:

Games the multiplayer will work with
1.) Any games that support split-screen: Mechs, Racing, FPS, MOBA
2.) Platformers (same screen)
3.) Beatem-Up/Hack-n-Slash
4.) Schmups
5.) Top down action games
6.) Party Games
7.) Music Games
8.) Sports
9.) Puzzle games
10.) Trivia games

Games this tech will more than likely not work for:
1.) MMO
2.) Games that don't support split screen that do not share the same screen: Destiny, Driveclub (rumor is it's being worked on), possibly COD

To be fair, I expect more games to support split screen after the technology is available. In the meantime, some genre's will get the short end of the stick for 2 player support; however, those titles generally have online multiplayer as it is.

the tech will work in options 1 (broadcast your game to a friend) and 2 (let your friend play,. sony is marketing this as a way to have a friend help you through a hard section or trophy) for any game.   option 3 (virtual couch coop) will only be availible for games that support couch coop.   ..and your right, certain genres of games lend themselve to couch coop moreso than others.
