But why are you all assuming that online is a better selling point for a Wii game than local multiplayer* ? If you are going by just the local multiplayer FPS that didn't sell so well, then you are ignoring that those games were also criticized for being mediocre all around. Plus even not just taking the Wii into account, this online push for gaming in general seems to assume gamers like to play alone, and that the playing with friends audience is not that big. That is something I do not like on principle. Yet just going by arguing won't matter as much as hard proof. If Goldeneye outsells this game, will that convince you that split screen would be a good idea for the next CoD Wii game? * Which I only call split screen in this case, since it's just a rail shooter for the other three if the same screen. |
Read my first post again. I said splitscreen is a big draw just that online is now bigger for that genre (FPS). And the inclusion or exclusion of the feature likely was not a concious effort simply to leave it out but because they didn't want it but because they wouldn't have the time to include it.
