Does anyone here know why developers aren't doing local multiplayer as much anymore? It's a bloody brilliant idea, and we've had it since 1994, so what gives?

there's plenty of games that still do local multiplayer. some even do local multiplayer + online play simultaneously. While the emphasis is now most certainly on online MP, there's still lots of great local MP games. Off the top of my head: LittleBigPlanet, Gears of War, Warhawk, Resistance, Halo 3, Boom Blox, Pixeljunk Monsters, Mario Kart, etc.

Sorry for being unclear. I was referring to local multi-player in FPSs. Granted that there are some exceptions, but it used to be mandatory; now it's the exception rather than the rule.

Thanks for the link.
