Man i need to find someone else with a good connection. Tried with a couple of other people since then and their connection was too bad to even let me play with them
Yes, I was talking about Vita as a guest and PS4 as host.
But your example is interesting. Can anyone try this:
Start PS4->Vita Remote Play, then enable Shareplay! I guess it shouldn't work, because the host's PS4 would be streaming into 2 places simultaneously...

That's cross platform Shareplay...technically should work but I think Sony or other publisher don't like that idea.
So, it wouldn't let me play Killzone without typing in some numbers from my ID card, which didn't even work when I did it. (Because it's an 18+ rated game I guess.)
I played FIFA15 on my friend's PS4, it looked horribly compressed and there was a hefty delay when I gave inputs.
When I tried to let my friend play Destiny he couldn't connect to my SharePlay session at all.
Granted, we don't have Google Fiber, but I'd consider ours still fairly good connections, as we don't have any problems watching HD streams or even livestreaming gameplay. Also, we only live like 5km apart.
As for the having to confirm your age with an ID card before playing 18+ rated games, I guess that is only in Germany? Or can anyone from somewhere else confirm this as well?

I'm playing Spelunky with a friend through SharePlay right now. Trading on death. This is fucking brilliant.

I would think so, given ID cards are not in common use, or non-existent in other countries.
Well, they are a thing in most, if not all developed countries, aren't they?

That videogamer idea is awesome. But sounds like ppl were dropping left and right. To game share and twitch stream you'd need beefy speeds.

I just tried it with a fellow gaffer and the picture quality is pretty good but the lag made it unplayable for me. Can't wait for my contract with At&t to end.

Cool stuff like this makes me really, really angry about the $75 I pay for 15Mbps down / sub 1Mbps up.

Ouch. That's how much I pay for 50 down/ 5 up, and I know that even mine is relatively fucking awful.

OK
So here is my situation...I do a majority of my gaming playing split screen or couch co op with my wife. I am currently playing Borderlands the Pre-Sequel on 360 and before that we were playing Diablo Ultimate Evil Edition on PS4
Here are the list of AAA co op games I plan on getting on the PS4 in the future:
Far Cry 4
Dragon Age Inquisition
Assassins Creed Unity
CoD Advance Warfare
Temple of Osiris
LBP3
R6:Seige
RE:Revelations 2
Sniper Elite 3
The Division
Destiny
Battleborn
Evolve
Out of that list of 12 games, only four of them (Cod, Laura Croft, LBP3 and Resident Evil) support couch co op.
So my current plan is to buy my wife her own PS4 (also connected via WiFi to other PS4), buying 2 identical LED TVs during black friday and then buying the games digitally so I can share them between the PS4s
Is this the best plan for low or am I missing an option Share Play would give me
If I stick with my plan, I will have to get a PS Plus sub for my wife, correct?
Pissed that I have to make this level of investment (at least $1500) to retain couch co op play of AAA titles with my wife

Just played some splitscreen on Plants v Zombies with a friend who was reluctant to get it but after trying it out he's down to get it now that it's on sale.
This is so future.

Yep, internet is the biggest reason I dislike living in America. #FirstWorldProblems
Me and bro have fiber, our ping between us shouldn't exceed 20ms, one of us has 20Mbit connection, other has 25, it didn't work citing slow connection in our first try. I'll update if we can get it to work. (I once did vita remote streaming to his machine and it had worked)
Of note (heck, very important) My upload speed is 2Mbits only, download is 20Mbit. I'm guessing my bro has similar upload speeds, that may be where the problem lies. (That said, I managed a vita remote session pre-patch. Haven't tried vita remote post patch)

I live in Australia, therefor Shareplay doesn't work because my internet access is achieved by putting real packets on the back of a messenger kangaroo.
OK

I don't get why you want 2 Tv's and consoles? Don't you live in the same house?
Because he wants to play 2 player games that don't have splitscreen with his wife. So I imagine they would just play online together with their TVs next to each other.

Played Towerfall, had a lot of fun combining shareplay with local.
I think there is something awesome about:
playing with some dude and his sibling/roommate with myself and my sibling/roommate. Finally, I can play local co-op games with a full group of people without having to have people over!
By the way, how likely is it that Shareplay will cancel out having to deal with shitty servers offered by certain publishers?
Sports games may benefit from this, provided that your own internet is better than servers.

I just finished shareplaying with gaffer Lam09
Wow, as long as both connections are good, it works great. He lost some races in driveclub, I lost three fights in UFC, we beat each other in UFC, barely any lag.
Only thing is when we tried to co op, it didn't recognize me as a playstation plus member at first, but it finally did and we played a good half hour. Thanks again to LAM09 for the shareplay fun.

SharePlay might allow just enough time to have a decent run through of MG:GZ's main op.
Np mate.
It really was a great expierence, but it relies heavily on your connection. Luckily for us, we both had good connections.
Thanks again.
i tried share play with an friend. he has 10 mbit/s upstream. we played driveclub, knack and metal gear gz. here is the gameplay video:

I wonder if we can have a list of compatible games. Ive heard some people say that some games are not working with it. Maybe has to do with some restrictions by publishers or something else?
Edit:NVM. Its just users with issues. On to SHAREPlay!

I pay like $45 a month for ATT DSL for 6 mbps download and like 1 upload. Prices in the US for internet are shit...

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
Not completely accurate AT&T Internet is shit...in most major areas of population you can find better Internet for the same price (Comcast,RCN, Google Fiber etc) the only reason anyone should have AT&T is because it's the only internet provider in your area,it's the "best" option in your area or out of pure ignorance (not knowing there's a better deal in your area).
