I don't like splitcreen that much, it isn't that great in R2, I find it better when my friends play from their own Ps3's and we can talk over the headsets. If a game should be co-op off the one machine it should be all on one screen like baldar's gate or LBP.

This is also how I feel, because really Splitscreen is messy, never did like it. 

Of course, it's all a matter of opinion.

 



  • 2010 MUST Haves: WKC, Heavy Rain, GoWIII, Fable III, Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta, Darksiders, FFXIII, Alan Wake, No More Heroes 2, Fragile Dreams: FRotM, Trinity: SoZ, BFBC2.
  • Older Need To Buys: Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario Kart Wii, Deadspace, Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2.

There is definitely more to list that I want, but that's my main focus there.

Nothing like watching your friends face in split screen get destroyed... Oh coop.... that too.

i guess it's a nice feature, but it's the multiplayer competitive mode that i'm most looking forward to (now that i can stomach fps).

If it was really comming wouldn't there be official news about it? You know, like "Our amazing game will get even better shortly after release when we will add online co-op".

I don't think they really want to do that, until KZ2 is released.  Mainly because, they don't want to hype people up and then it not be out for 2-3 months.

So rumors are the best bet at this point.

Not trying to derail your thread but isnt this more of the same from Sony.
You know what I mean next year tomorrow etc etc I mean why patch when you can supply it with the game.
Sorry for been negative music but thats what I feel.

It's just a rumor, not a promise from Sony.

 

But why not supply it with disc?

 

Because it is not part of the initial release.  When you purchase the disc you get multiplayer and a single player campaign.  I don't think this thread should be viewed as anything more than a rumor.  You should make your purchase decision on what has been announced by Sony, not what you are hearing in forums.

The split screen coop implementations have been lacking recently.  COD5 split screeen is unusable, and R2 forces you to a 4:3 aspect ratio.  I heard L4D uses a scheme similar to COD5, but I can't confirm.  I hope they release online coop as a free patch, but I'm not holding my breath for it.

 

 



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

Not being a negative nanny, but I will believe this when I see the patch go live. It is something I wasn't expecting and would be a great addon feature. However, since the start I have read that the game wouldn't have coop and now to suddenly say oh, we were working on it but just couldn't get the balance right is way to fishy for me. It takes more than a little tinkering to get coop to work. And to the poster talking about Fable 2, the online feature was planned from the start so thats why it was patched so quickly.

No co-op according to this article:
http://www.psu.com/Guerrilla-Games--+quot;No-plans-for-co-op-in-Killzone-2+quot;-News--a0006102-p0.php

It would be great if it eventually comes, but don't get your hopes up.

so when they releasing KZ2, KZ2 won't have online and offline co-op
they just hope they will patched after release ? what

mightty KZ2 already > 5 years in dev. not having important feature?

it seems some of reviewers is right, KZ2 maybe still need more time.

Important feature? The never said up until recently that they had planned on putting any co-op in. Most people who have already decided to get the game aren't expecting any co-op features. I think most people buying this game are getting it for the same reasons most people got COD 4. Online multplayer, not so much the campaign. When thinking of K2, I don't think "oh cool, I'll get it because it'll be just like army of two" I think of K2 as the next online shooter I'll be playing for ages, the campaign is a bonus, and now it sounds like co-op will be yet more added bonus

co-op is important in many modern fps, and it is nice to play a story campaign with a friend especially in hardest mode, just look at Halo3, R1, COD WAW, GeOW1 & 2

why every recent PS3 biggest game, is something missing, R2 missing campaign co-cop.
