One of the things I really wanted since the start was split screen so that I could play with my brother so I didn’t have to spend another $50 on a separate copy. Please, and I know that if my wishes happen, it’ll be a while from now.
I also think this would be an awesome feature to add to the game. I would love to play it with a friend on the same console. It would be a alternative multiplayer choice for people who play offline.
The devs mentioned in the livestream from October 2nd that this is highly unlikely, since the game engine was never built for split screen in the first place.
Sooooo. This game has focused on the multiplayer aspect and some people I believe would like to play with friends at home and since it’s nearing Christmas I think friends would appreciate it. Also Some people aren’t able to afford or aren’t allowed to get live gold or PlayStation Plus.
Me and my brother would love to blow up some metal together, so would u guys consider split screen.
If people aren’t able to afford monthly paid subscription, just to play online on consoles - switch to PC. There is no additional cost for that on PCs.
Yes, but PC you can also upgrade (GPU, CPU, add storage space etc). With consoles, you can’t. And due to the upgrade ability, PCs can last for decades. And even when you go with new CPU-MoBo-RAM combo, many times, you can bring over your old components (PSU, storage drives, GPU, case), making the upgrade cost minimal.
Moreover, with PCs, you can do all, not just gaming.
Fair point but it’s worth a shot for trying at least especially with the power of these new consoles and to think of what the next 2 generations will be like?
When you buy a console, you are bound to the specific proprietary hardware it has. Sure, on launch day, it is fast and good but console turnover is 6-7 years. And in that time, you have to wait behind Micro$oft or Sony, before they launch next gen consoles.
While with PCs, you can upgrade whenever you want, without waiting behind no-one (except your wallet). Also, PC components turnover is about 1-2 years, meaning that in every 1-2 years, we get new next gen hardware (e.g CPU, MoBo, GPU).
When this game runs even on single player my PS4 sounds like it’s about to bloody explode, so they should probably optimize the game first before adding split screen
