The controllers seem quite hampered, and not that fun to play with. Just connect the consoles through a local area network . And sure the PS2, Gamecube, Original Xbox, etc could do it, but we aren't burdened with cables, peripherals, and a big console to lug this time around. It is there from the start, like with past handheld iterations. If you've ever played mario kart DS or Metroid Prime Hunters through download play with a group of people, you can understand how fun and relatively seamless the experience is versus a traditional lan party, and with the high quality support of Nintendo console games this will be quite nice. It integrates the handheld experiences of local multiplayer to home platforms. I never said this was new by the way. I was implying that the implementation makes it much more viable to have large groups play multiplayer games with great quality graphics. |
I agree with you, you got a point, local multiplayer could be revamped and people who stopped using that feature long ago might reconsider its importance.
I hope developers reconsider too, when i heard NFS was full price and online only I was really disappointed (also they coincidentally removed NFS World from existance...XD)
But for me it is similar, I've never had problems with psps and ps vitas/tv in adhoc modes, but the ethernet cable is always the better choice for me and with multiple tvs I can build a more serious atmosphere and hope to get friends fired up more in the match, anayway it happens only once in two months, that is really bad :-S.
Thank you for your clarification and for being polite after reading my wall of text that might upset people.
Persona 5 on PS3, I won't need next gen!
