4-Player Splitscreen

[Nigh Invulnerable]

I miss it.

I mean, I have a big enough TV, so I don't have the problem with the 'can't see' thing, and I have such fond memories of running around like madmen on Perfect Dark, trying to out N-bomb each other.

Fun times.

Yes, bring back 4 player splitscreen, and while you're at it, bring back fucking bots!

I tell ya, kids these days....

I've been racking up hours on Timesplitters 3 and Star Wars Battlefront 2 because of the local multiplayer for years. Nothing like blasting your buddies and talking smack to their face as they sit next to you on the couch. I too have never really been bothered by the "can't see" issue that so many complain about. If you're playing with four people, you probably have a decent sized TV (one would hope).

It's a very simple formula. One console, one couch, one TV, four screens. Four happy friends.

Easily the most fun I've had with gaming has been with 4 player split screen. Even better with a homemade screen divider - 2 on 2 teams. It should be more prevalent now we all have massive TV's which means the screens aren't all tiny messy slow down fests.

Timesplitters 4 with local splitscreen 4 player would make me soo happy.

THIS IS WHY TIMESPLITTERS WAS INFINITELY BETTER THAN HALO.

Excessive use of caps ftw (also obviously it's just my opinion, douches).

Yes, yes it was. More fun to play with your friends, as you could just all aim into the mist and fire aimlessly and get the best high scores ever?!
and it was a better game in every other aspect too

I think Capcom said that Lost Planet 2 is gonna have 4 player splitscreen, which should be interesting.

Just went to the store the other day. "OFFLINE PLAYERS: 1-2"

...whyyyy. ; ;

Yay Blur?

Yeah I hate not having 4 player splitscreen in most games.

Even Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 doesn't have it which makes me think wtf?! Of course some games such as Left 4 Dead can get very laggy with splitscreen though due to the console not coping with it.

I would only use splitscreen for co-op and some multiplayer modes where screencheating wouldn't matter like in racing games.

1) There's always that one person who get's confused which screen is theirs
2) Details are hard to see
3) Couch gets crowded

I never liked 3 or more split screens. It just made it too small to enjoy it, or it would put the players at a disadvantage at times (depending on the game).

Anyone who doesn't like 4-player splitscreen obviously doesn't have any friends. Some of my finest memories are of a night of 4-player splitscreen gaming. A small portion of the screen is a small price to pay for having a good time with mates.

this.

i have had some awesome bonding times with the buds having a good ole time with laughing and owning AI like crazy together, unless your the hardest of core bunches, its always a good amount of fun and encouragement among each other
