Long story short, on current gen consoles its impossible (Ps3/360 i mean) For instance a Steroscopic 3D game on the PS3 which has been retrofitted to work at max capability to 3D gaming requires a TON of processing power because the PS3 is rendering the exact same HD image twice a the same time, which pushes the PS3 to the limit and prevents the 360 from running proper Stereo 3D.

Now imagine doing the same thing but with two completely different images and the requires processing power needed is 1.5x the prior level, let alone 3/4 split screen on a single PS3 or 360.  your best bet is to brows PSN and XBL games with split screen, because if you want anything beyond a turok 2 port with split screen, your pushing your luck.

that's not an excuse. Many games do not support 3D, and I wouldn't want any graphical improvements if it reduces the ways that the games can be played.



I LOVE ICELAND!

tis why the Wii is still superior in games. Sony and Microsoft still got no clue.



What I want from a game.

Gameplay > Story > Content > Graphics

Visual Style > Graphics

Smooth Camera, Intuitive Controls

Friction! When everything feels right!

lol ^ ok......

 

 

anyways. I actually preffer online co-op much more. I mean it would be nice to have splitscreen, but i prefer to be alone in my room and have fun with my friends online.

Motorstorm has 4 player splitscreen. It drops some detail and graphical effects but the fun is still there. That's the only racing game I can think of that offers 4 player splitscreen this gen.

The problem is most arcade racing games nowadays have a large single map with different routes. The game streams the data for your current location. So sadly no more instant restarts, and not enough memory to have multiple locations of the same world in memory. Same reason it won't work for gta, rdr etc.

And the wii has nothing to brag about, why is there no splitscreen option for nsmb or dkcr??

Dragon age: origins would have been awesome to play together.

Yeah, it's what I hate about the so called "HD twins". They are so powerful but they can't render 4P splitscreen.


Tell me what system can render 4 player splitscreen in the campaign. None.

PC could, but there aren't any.

Multiplayer.

I dont get why more games dont include splitscreen. I mean keep the online if you want but why does it have to be one or the other? I cant imagine growing up not having splitscreen. I mean I woudl lose so much of the fun that me and my friends and family had/have. For having such advance tech compared to the 80's they sure do make some stupid choices.

Online consoles are a fucking joke that detracts from what a console should be doing, big single player adventures and splitscreen multiplayer.

FREAKING SPLIT SCREEN CO OP. I mean sure the fact that you can play with your friends across the world now with online but what about co op on the same xbox? Dead rising 2 for example i love that game and want to play with friends on the same console but I cant i have to do it online. Why? thats just dumb. I hjope to god gears of war 3 can have 4 player spilt screen co op for the campaign but i doubt it.

Anyone else miss it?

Exactly what are you bitching about?

I can't think of many games in past generations that had split screen co op.

Or are you just complaining about lack of split screen in general? That can't be what you mean because there are ton of split screen games this gen.
