The New Tier Of Consoles Will Finally Bury Split-Screen Gaming

CGUK:
"Ever since gaming began playing with a friend has not only been more enjoyable, but it has carried various benefits such as an additional competitive edge, moments that could be collectively remembered by two (or more) people (remember "cheating" by looking at the other player's portion of the screen?) and overall, arguably left a higher sense of achievement (considering you were the 'winner')."

Nothing beats a lads night in with some beers, pizza and gaming.

Split screen gaming should never die. End of.

shibster883938d ago

Damn right thats what consoles are for.

Mystogan3938d ago

What do you have against splitscreen? That is one of the few reason to get a console.

steve30x3938d ago

Myself and my brother love to play Gran Turismo in split screen. I would hate to see split screen die

BullyMangler3938d ago (Edited 3938d ago )

Nintendo is so ahead of ALL its funny.

Kyosuke_Sanada3938d ago

I'll take a bit of screen watching over a lag kill or cheater online anyday. AT least if the person is douche I can physically deal with them myself.....

Lawndart19813938d ago

Nothing beat being able to reach across the couch and actually hit your buddy for being an a$$ in the old days of GoldenEye and Perfect Dark on the N64... especially when you got to highjack the big screen TV in the dorm lobby on a Tuesday night

LucasEVille3938d ago

As much as I love borderlands 2 on co-op over live, nothing beats playing local split screen.

They gotta do better on the premium side for sure. Where are any of those jrpgs from the ps1 Era. Come on Sony.

jznrpg31m ago

Most of the Sony JRPGS have been released. Square has a ton that could be ported over but they would need Squares involvement.

Looking at this list, i gotta ask what is even the point of premium?

I'm good with just my PS+ Essential

If gamepass is so pointless and unprofitable why did PS shamelessly copy it with Plus extra?

shinoff218350m ago

Psnow was out well before gamepass. To boot most people talking sht about gamepass are talking day 1 releases. That and the fact that Xbox players as a whole aren't buying games like they should be. It's day 1 releases, Sony doesn't do that so you can't compare.

InUrFoxHole48m ago

Aren't buying games like they should be? That's the most company statement I've ever read.

thesoftware73027m ago(Edited 25m ago)

Shin,
While they do talk shit about every aspect of everything MS, including game pass, you just minimized it.

The first claim used to be that "It's all old games" because MS doesn't make new games. I then sit and watch people celebrate games that have been on GP for months/years, being celebrated on PS Plus.

Then when plenty of new good games were hitting regularly, the complaint changed to, the games suck, and the quality of them is bad because of GP.

When that well ran dry, it moved to GP, which is unsustainable and hurting developers.

Then, when MS said it had been making a profit, the goalpost moved again to ownership of games, and GP is driving killing off physical media.

In the meantime, Sony has produced a Digital Playstation and created a robust sub-service that they revamped after seeing the success of GP and admitting their service would not catch up to GP(Sony said it, not me). They also released some games on day 1 in the service. Both companies are doing very similar things, but the less popular brand generally receives the brunt of the negativity.

“shamelessly”

These are giant corporations, not Renaissance painters.

MrNinosan25m ago(Edited 25m ago)

Maybe collect some braincells before calling yourself TheProfessional.

GamePass copied PSNow, not the other way around.
PSNow later changed name to PS+ Extra and Premium.
What makes GamePass unprofitable is because day 1 games makes gamers stop buying games and the amount of subscribers is too low to make up for it.

You don't need a lot of math knowledge to figure the rest out.

S2Killinit24m ago

Didn’t PSPlus do it first and MS copied. I kind of remember it this way… your comment didn’t age well.

And you seem to be missing the point.

Eonjay24m ago

Its about Day 1 releases. They don't put game in there day one because they want to get their money back before they give it away for 'free'. This is what the debate boils down to. The reason day one becomes an issues is because in order to make money back on games costing 200+ million to make you would need to either have Plus cost more a month or you would have to have many more subscribers (which is preferable to these companies). Activision was spending somewhere in the range of 4 billion a year to produce yearly COD games. The profit they made a year came in around 1 billion. If the revenue from GP has to also pay for the production cost of COD, it would take many, many decades to see a return on the purchase. That is the issue.
