The worst part of losing local multiplayer _now_ is that screens are big enough four people can have the equivalent of a full SD screen in a quarter of an HD screen, and with wireless controllers you don't have to huddle close to the console or buy any adapters.

[@worm6820]

actually 1/4 of 1080p is 720p, so everbody gets there own little hd screen.

[@Radeo]

Also developers would probably make vertical splitscreen breaks a la modern Mario Kart, instead of horizontal ones. The rage.

[@phenomanII]

@@worm6820 Did you even try to do the math? 720p is 1/4 of 1440p. 1/4 of 1080p is 960x540, far from HD.

[@r.p.4756]

What's wrong with huddling up close with the boys? No homo

[@phenomanII]

@Mint III Yeah, I don't mind low-res, it just irked me how of the math was. The issue with split-screen for me is I get distracted by the mix of sound and the other views in my peripheral vision. Last game I played like that was Forza and my friend picked a louder car, I didn't even know whether I was pushing the throttle.

[@masterxlr]

You know what i find odd about the lack of splitscreen these days? These days, basically everyone has at the very least a 32'-45' TV on their living room that they use to play their consoles, which makes the screen size for each player reasonable enough to use (unlike on the ps1-N64 era when we had fucking 17' screens)...SO WHY THE HELL DO WE NOT HAVE LOCAL MULTI? IT'S NOT EVEN THAT HARD TO IMPLEMENT, GOD DAMN IT

[@uliloolilu780]

True 😂

[@austin4855]

Well, it can be a moderate challenge to implement. Games are designed to fully utilize that hardware they're running on. The game needs to incorporate the ability to automatically adjust its frame rate (or better, adjust texture fidelity and lighting) to accommodate three more full camera views being rendered. Add in that SS isn't a great selling feature for AAA games (but an excellent one for smaller indie games or for family-use consoles like the Wii) and it does need to get factored into a cost/value analysis.

[@MagikarpsSplash]

Because it makes games run like shit when you try to run four different instances of the same game. Theres too much going on.

[@MrMisanthrope84]

4K also. We literally could play split screen in fucking uncompromised HD. But why would life make any sense?

[@KilgoreTraut]

BASICALLY MOST DEVELOPERS FEEL THEY HAVE TO APPEAL TO THE LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR AND THE LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR LIKES BIG SHINY POLYGONS AND SPLIT SCREEN GENERALLY MEANS SMALLER DULLER POLYGONS (all that shouting made my wrists hoarse, time to drink some water. with my wrists.)

“I can’t feed my friends a DiGiorno on Discord.” That sums it up for me. So many nights spent staying up late to kick each other’s asses in Smash Bros. or Halo, or anything else we had lying around with four controllers to spare, some that we brought over ourselves, and me or one of our friends serving up a hot meal that we split. Sometimes we’d go out to a local Wawa or restaurant that still runs late at night for whatever we’re craving.... but damn. I miss those nights. It’s certainly the best feeling ever.

Nintendo is really great at local multiplayer. Even games like Odyssey or the Galaxy games, which seen like single player experiences, have a 2nd player option. Granted, it's not like another player, but it can be great if a little sibling is watching you play and just wants to help out. Most companies wouldn't even think of putting this in, yet here Nintendo is. I spent hours and hours playing Galaxy 2 while my younger sister helped me collect star bits and coins and 1-ups.

[@brandonm8105]

I still don't understand how you could release a Halo game without split screen. A HALO GAME WITHOUT SPLIT SCREEN.

[@sodapone]

It really was a dealbreaker for me. As someone who only got into Halo because my friends were all into Halo, my very first experiences with the series were just playing splitscreen with them. I wasn't read up on the lore or anything; all I really knew is that I sucked at the game, but it was fun with friends. Halo 5 wound up being my entry point into the series, and into the Xbox line in general; I bought the special edition Xbox and everything. As someone who barely knew a thing about Halo and didn't do any research about 5, I assumed should be able to pick it up and play it. The campaign confused me, but at least it ultimately gave me enough experience to actually be able to hold a candle to my friends in multiplayer. But then, that was when I found out: No splitscreen. I thought it was just buried under a menu or something. Nope. No splitscreen. I was so disappointed that I never played Halo 5 again. Not in the three years since I first bought it. Never touched the multiplayer once; I didn't want to get stomped by randos who were more experienced than me (I'd rather get stomped by friends), I wasn't too keen on paying a subscription having come from PC multiplayer, and the req packs always seemed fishy to me (and now more than ever, since that the lootbox craze came and died an excruciating death). Being able to play the latest Halo game in splitscreen with my friends was why I got an Xbox One and Halo 5. And I found out all too late that was completely sidelined for things I ultimately really didn't care about. These days, when we get together, we'll boot up MCC for our Halo fix; we mostly play Ragnarok in 4, but we also sometimes play 3, or even CE and 2 AE. I also picked up MCC on Boxing Day in 2016, for a pretty neat price of $40; I've been procrastinating on it, but my goal is to play through all four campaigns so that I'll finally be up to speed on the lore. But none of us have touched Halo 5 in a long time.

Being able to jack my friends star while they stare me down like they bout to murder me is the greatest feeling in existence.

[@CurtisAlfeld]

This happened because parents stopped telling little Timmy "get the hell out of my house and don't come back until dinner time". I weep for the kids of today who won't know what it's like going to Blake's house around the corner to play Halo until his mom got sick of us, so we all went to Bryce's house down the street to play Smash Bros. until his mom did the same thing, where we then went to some random as park and played Pokemon until one of our mom's came looking for us and yelled at us to get home.

[@massivegat5087]

This is a topic I was sorely hoping to be discussed and who other than Jakey. My fondest memories of gaming were playing Tony Hawks Underground 2 on splitscreen and just messing around after school or during a sleepover. And it has pretty much disappeared completely from the industry. And that's bullshit. I really hate the direction the industry has taken as of late. We need more splitscreen games. If you really want a good splitscreen experience on your PS4 or Xbox One I would highly suggest getting Borderlands The Handsome Collection. It comes with all DLC characters which are awesome, all DLC which is the best DLC content I have ever played, and any special edition content that only preorder players could get. Also it does support 4 player splitscreen. I get a couple of friends together and we just play through these games. Seriously you should get it.

[@ERROR-fr7to]

I remember playing through Halo CE, 2, 3, reach and 4 in splitscreen with ma boy. When we saw the first trailer we were preped to suit up and shoot some covie scum together once more. Then we heard.
