| Barozi said: yeah whatever you call "campaign". In racing games it's just a chain of racing events that can be played from the multiplayer menu as well. Pretty much the same thing. Of course it's theoretically possible, but not when you use modern visuals. Halo Reach, SMG, Gears, Killzone 2, Uncharted etc. CANNOT have a 4 players splitscreen campaign on 360, Wii and PS3. Simply not powerful enough. |
But a game could which runs counter to your whole point. Your claim is no system could do it which is plain and simple bullshit. There is absolutely no reason not to have them other than fundamental design decisions. EG we want a pretty game over a game played with 4 people side by side.
On Mario Kart, I only mentioned it because you brought up Mod Nation Racers at one point. It is also worth highlighting because Double Dash allowed 4 players in every mode (with LAN for more than 4 obviously) but Mario Kart Wii lacks this. It highlight the subtle shift in priorities amongst even those developer most dedicated to keeping the local co-op play alive and well. I doubt anyone would argue against Nintendo still being the lead on that one as a console and game maker.
