It's kinda telling. Whenever a PS3 game is talked about being amazing graphics, they always are single player no splitscreen. They dont design the engines with that in mind. If it did, it would have to sacrifice some graphics. Was GT5P split screen? I only played it online.

They really need to concentrate on features just as much as graphics. Gears of War or Halo would not be as good as they are without splitscreen coop. PGR4 and Forza 2 also had splitscreen. Even Lost Planet 2 has 4 player split screen.

Personally Uncharted 1 was a good game, splitscreen coop would have made it much better. It's a shame they have not designed there engine to handle it for number 2.

I'm sorry but this is utter BS,  it wouldnt have made sense to the Story for it to be co-op.  And you do realize the co-op portion in Uncharted 2 is a completely separate part of the game like Resistance 2 was?  So again what are you losing? 

As for your other comments,  I guess that why SC: Conviction and Alan Wake look so good,  no splitscreen. 

I agree with you about Conviction and Alan Wake. Coop doesnt have to fit in with a story. Halo 1 had 2 Masterchiefs. You finish it on your own for the story. But ramp the difficulty right up and enjoy doing the normal campaign with 2 people. It's great for when your mates are together. Often makes it more fun. Graphics aren't a problem either. Gears 2 looks fantastic. Halo 3 looked fantastic considering 4 player splitscreen and 60 odd enemies on the battlefield. Lost Planet 2 is another example, as is Resistance 2.

3rd person shooters and FPS shooters IMO should always have Coop. I seriously give a game and extra 10/100 if it has coop. I regularly have my mates around, and we will not play anything that doesnt have coop when they are here. One of the reasons we rarely play my mates PS3.
