I still don't see why that would have to be the case. The game already runs at 60fps, why can't they just put it at 60fps during splitscreen? Isn't it possible to just lower the resolution back to 720p for splitscreen specifically instead of lowering the framerate? |
It isn't that simple. There is work that the CPU does and work the GPU does. Lowering resolution will only reduce the load on the GPU, but a lot of the reason why it is 30fps in four player split screen is because the game is doing CPU calculations for all four players. That means that CPU intensive parts of the game (Animation, AI, Particles, Geometry, etc) will have to be changed. It is just easier to lock it at 30fps, and few people will notice or care when playing split screen.
