Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony patents Split-screen play without Split

Maneco on 20 July 2010

Quite cool... Interestingly, Sony has been patenting some creative stuff in the last months. That's something new to me coming from them.

No,just about everyone plays online these days,that's why the majority of games don't even offer split-screen anymore,some do,but most don't. lol

and when a game does support offline/online split screen it sells more.

This could potentially be awesome.

 

Now we just need some really good splitscreen experieinces...


Don't you own a 3D DLP TV? You can do this with 2 consoles, and 2 copies of the game already...

RealD makes an adapter that combines 2 videostrams in sequential checkerboard... I think it costs 1000 dollars lol

Damn. I had this EXACT idea when I started reading about 3d tech this year. I am a visionary :)


You should have patented it. You would be rich by now and I would have loved to be your dearest friend.
