We're talking about Share Play (http://www.engadget.com/2014/08/15/ps4-game-sharing/), of course. We know: the ability to virtually hand a controller off to a pal via the internet and have them work through a game's tricky section for you sounds kinda like magic -- the type that only Disney is capable of. But, in theory it sounds pretty simple, and the catch-up king (http://www.engadget.com/2014/09/12/sony-the-catch-up-king/) has recently released a video (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/10/24/check-out-share-play-in-action-on-ps4/#sf5405623) that walks through the process step by step. From the looks of it, the new feature is added as an option from the DualShock 4's Share button (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/23/sony-ps4-share-button/). Naturally. How well it all works in the wild, however, remains to be seen.
