Local Multiplayer was one of the things it needed to improve upon. They seem to be addressing a lot of the complaints the first game had, so let's not dismiss it before we see the final product.

Yeah, leaving that out was a problem. It was a major reason I didn't get the game until I saw it on a really reduced price. This version will be higher on my get list because of this.

But it's not just me. Look at the top-selling FPS. Aside from PC games (since local multiplayer isn't something PCs are made for), see how far you get before you find a game without split-screen multiplayer. Of course good design is important to also include (since we get a lot of poor selling FPS with split-screen), but the fact that most of the top selling FPS have that feature shows it is important to have.

Its kind of ironic actually. Its a feature which is definately hard to implement from the perspective of the developer and yet its a very much indemand feature. It does take away from the absolute resources available to making the single player campaign run better so its up to the developer to really balance this out. The irony is that leaving out split screen is probably one of the best ways for a developer to be considered lazy and Sony 1st party/2nd party have been more guilty of this than most inspite of all the accusation of lazyness towards third party developers on that platform.



Tease.

Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

Yes please.

 

And i thought this had a tentative release date of September?

They need to make this happen. Too many games today do not have this. A map editor would be nice, the Timesplitters series had one. But I know I am asking too much.



If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba

I have so many fond memories of playing Unreal Tournament with my friends locally (LAN) and using bots to fill the maps or practicing against bots.   It would extent the replay value immesurably.  And yes a map editor with map scoring/sharing would be fantastic.    Those two things with solid gameplay would make this game an absolute must-have.

Don't get you hopes up, guys.
Tony, one of the head animation guys at HVS, did a quasi-interview at GameFAQs about a month ago, and pretty much ruled out bots, citing them as "too much sacrifice for too little payoff."
Of course, this is far from official.

Me, I'm not fussed. Most of my favourite splitscreen games didn't have bots.
Invasion Mode makes up for it in my book, at least it will if it's even half as well done as Horde Mode in Gears 2, which they admit it's inspired by.

If only the Metroid Prime series (excluding Hunters) had online multiplayer...



 Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.

Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash

this game is truly shaping up to be WAY better than the first.

and if i remember (correct me if im wrong), that screen shot came around the time the game was first announced. of course it looks a little bad, its probably from when they were still testing local MP.

In that statement they put out around a month ago, HVS said that all the screenshots currently released are using the same version of Quantum3 as the first game.

They added that since then, they have added a new lighting system and texture streaming improvements that make the final graphics much better than the original game and all screen released so far.
