I am currently in a situation where I don't have Internet access for videogame play. I can get email, and access the web, but not gaming. I am able to play multiplayer, without Internet, and split-screen is important. Well, I am now in a situation where I am noticing something here. On the 360, there is a lack of games that use 4 player split-screen. I am surpised about the ONLY 4 player split screen FPS title where you take on bots collectively is Perfect Dark Zero. If anyone knows others, I would appreciate it. And when it comes to driving games? Well, I don't find any on the 360. I find ONE on the PS3, and that is the sequel to Motorstorm. On the original XBox there seemed to be more.
I was thinking this is the norm for this generation. However, the Wii seems to be getting its share, particularly on the driving front. What stood out here is Dirt 2 has 4 player split screen on the Wii, but NONE for the 360.
Please correct me here if I am missing things. I would be up for knowing exceptions to all this. So, if you know of any, please point it out, and I request you DON'T post hardcore reasons to "get with it" and say it doesn't matter. I believe it does matter to me, as I stated above. There are times having friends over matters more, and playing split screen, then otherwise.
I can also comment that few games get split screen right for 3 players. In these games, I notice the norm is to give one player twice the viewing size to play in. This is unfair in my opinion.
Ok, I am off the soapbox.
