Split screen online multiplayer? I have never seen a game having such an option, never had one with such a option at least. Wouldn't it be very demanding from the hardware to render a multiplayer game, and compute two people controlled players?


Nah should not be a problem. Quite a few PS3 games actually had this. Starhawk,COD games,Motorstorm,uncharted 3,Borderlands 1 and 2,Little big planet 1 and 2,Resistance 2.Probably missed quite alot games but these were a few games.


Right! I remember Resistance 2 having such an option! Awesome coop by the way.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

What? Uncharted had this :/


Only Uncharted 3 has any sort of split screen, so you must be reffering that one. I thought it only had offline/local coop split screen. Will check this out later today, when I'll finish downloading Lotr War in the north.


You can play Uncharted 3 online with a offline buddy. You know, in splitscreen. And I don't mean the co-op mode, I mean online matches. A lot of games have this feature, and people have mentioned most of them in Ps3. Gears of War, for example, had this feature too. Minecraft on 360 allowed to four-player splitscreen and also online at the same time. 

It's just a feature that should be mandatory in all games IMO =D

Minecraft for Xbox One will have it.

I'm surprised they have resources to spare for this feature.


It's the RAM >=D

I thought it was the power of the cloud? Or is it cloud RAM?


Cloud RAM sounds totally next-gen!

Oh yeah just remembered one game that will have it now. Diablo 3.

You seem sure that's true so I have no reason not to believe you. Thanks for that info I will certainly try that feature in U3 :D

Call of duty and Uncharted 3 have it; Ghost will definitely have it. I guess it depends on the game. I doubt that killzone or battlefield 4 will have it though. Although I'm pretty sure battlefield 3 had split screen co op.

No, Battlefield 3 hasn't got splitscreen co op.

EA's not as good as Activision when it comes to this as the past couple of CoD always had 2player splitscreen online.
