    Gears of War split screening was great ..I don't see why titanfall would be that difficult to play split screen ..On a 24" monitor maybe ,but 42" and up would be fine IMO

  2. Split-screen in a nutshell has ALWAYS been up to the developers. If you have an issue with their games not having it, take it up with them.

    Speak for yourself. Online multiplayer does not address people who want to play in the same room with roommates/wives/husbands/kids/friends who happen to be over.

    Online has its places but it is not a replacement for split screen. Just cause you have no use for it cause you don't find yourself in those situations does not mean it has no place. I mean I could easily do without online multiplayer but I won't say that doesn't
    mean it's not needed anymore. Just means I don't need it.

    Probably not just you but certainly not me. Its a developer choice and they have chosen not to include it for reason only they know. I dont recall a battlefield game ever having split screen.

  5. It's more of a developers choice than the next gen consoles and their respective companies. I believe Titanfall is Repawn entertainments first game and they are taking feedback on Titanfall. They probably won't add in split screen though if it's not already
    part of the game. I'm personally fine with games not having split screen but there are some I wish did have the option. It usually doesn't matter in my case because when I have friends over we usually don't do very much console gaming.

    Play more fighting games and music/dance games. Both make for hilarious memories with the people you love.

  7. Forza 5 supports splitscreen and Titanfall is confirmed to as well. Dead Rising 3 has a real excuse (loads of zombies) but other games really need to step up the mark.

    I usually kind of have meh experiences with split screens especially in multiplayer matches. And how they take up at least half the lobbies in Zombies COD Black Ops 2 on 360 if you have a full 4 lobby at least 3 need to ready up and if there are split screeners
    usually for that game (and sometimes Halo Reach) they're like 5 year olds or AFK'ers or the ones who quit shortly after the match starts and we wait for "migrating hosts". I think the option should remain though it can be a hassle if your doing it on a smaller
    display but anything 40'+ is a big enough display for split screening without hurting your eyes.

  9. @smileskybird That's all I would ask is for the option to be there. Doesn't mean you have to use it (and I am not asking online option to go away).

  10. the developers are just plain lazy and all they care about now is making as much money as fast as possible, goldeneye on the N64 was pure multiplayer brilliance and so was the single player, diddy kong racing also, we just dont have a legend like Shigeru
    Miyamoto of today or a Rare Ware, developers seriously cared for their games in those days, as the guy said in gaming terms i feel so sorry for the younger generation, it just doesnt seem to be as much fun now and the gameplay is quite stale,its nothing to
    do with getting older its a plain fact, one word sums it up...greed.

    I did play Goldeneye multi with the split screen on N64 but fun it was not as you can look at your friend half of the screen and see where they are. Same went for COD 2 split screen multi.

    Goldeneye opened the door to what created the best multi-player experience in FPS games that we enjoy today. Playing split screen with a group of your friends was one of the greatest experiences Goldeneye offered. Playing split screen did have the disadvantage
    of screen watchers, but playing on separate screens at that time was almost unheard of. PC games were able to do it, but then you would be comparing a couple of $1200 systems to a $400-$600 system. The first console that really offered any type of LAN/Online
    gameplay, if I remember right, was the Sega Dreamcast with Phantasy Star Online. Now with COD 2 there really wasn't any excuses because LAN gaming had already kicked off in the console wars and I think should of been implemented.

    @dppey that game did break in a lot of new concepts for game I did enjoy the game as I'm a bond Fan/collector. Which is why I loved quantum of solace multiplayer so much as Golden Gun mode is so much fun.I could just never get into the other when you can't
    really sneak up or hide when the other can see the screen. I also understand the split like CoD did with the guest for live multiplayer might benefit some. I guess Devs just don't see the demand. Maybe visit their forums and state the case for more on the
    future. Can't hurt.

    I dont the gpu in the X1 is powerful enough to do most games in split screen without heavily downgrading the graphics. It cannot even do 1080p for COD: Ghost and the graphics are real simple in CoD.

  15. in those days goldeneye n64 was just such a new thing, we dont have groundbreaking things like that anymore, its rush out money rush it out money, just look at battlefield 4 and the one console, also most people say 1080p doesnt matter, so why spend all
    that money on a next gen console when you can own the same games on the 360? with very slightly inferior graphics, of course its the gameplay that matters most.
