Split Screen Coop headed for Unreal 3?

From the official UT forum, regarding split screen coop on the ps3 version:

"We're aware that some of our customers wanted split screen for the PS3 version of UT3. We hear you and will evaluate the feature for possible future updates to UT3."

We'll have to wait and see what Midway and the unreal team has in store for ps3 gamers.

1 - Gotta love EPIC

They acually listen to what costumers and actually fix it. Almost unheard of.

1.2 - It's wierd though

I remember Bungie saying they may possibly include 4 player co op at a later time and ended up just including it in the box and even rumors of an update that would have allowed co op in dead rising. Many motorstorm owners wanted offline splitscreen of any sort and the wish has remained ...well less then granted.

The question here is, Is it even possible to add something like this into a game that's already been finalized and tested? As much as I want to believe it's coming to the ps3 I just don't see it happening. I know it sounds similar to sega and virtua fighter, but Epic is likely to include some sort of splitscreen for the 360 version of the game and leave the ps3 owners in the dust.

Personally I'd be pissed if that happened, but that's just me. I can only hope this sort of update is even possible. Sure they did well to include online campaign mode, but the main use for bots in my case was to bring a new comer to the unreal series over and allow him/her to blast some bots with me offline.

But yea I still totally respect EPIC for the great job they've done on unreal so far and their trust in ps3 owners that we're willing to wait a bit, while Unreal 3 slowly evolves into the best shooter around.

PS. I hate to say it...but i'd pay to have splitscreen included...And yea i know I'm a part of the problem.

I don't understand why dev's aren't including it in the first place. Split screen has been around for ages so it should be a standard by now!

Well this will be a great add I can't wait to have it. There are some games out on the market and some have co-op and some do not and it is great to see that this game will get it soon. Other then that I am liking UTIII a lot.

I am begining to think the ps3 can't handle split screen. This is not the first time i am hearing split screen may come in future update. I loved motorstorm but i ended up trading it in because there was no multiplayer value for me online was lame cus everyone was using the boost exploit and no split screen. Wanted to get formula 1 but passed for same reason and COD4 on ps3 didnt have split screen. Don't knw if its the ps3 that can't handle it but damn sony needs to give us split screen

I knew my comment would be very controlversial but i had to speak my mind. COD4 has no split screen online on ps3 and motorstorm and F1 had no split screen either. Am pretty sure prologue has no split screen hopefully GT5 will have but am gonna buy that regardless cus i hardly played split screen with that on ps2 anyway. But my point is resistance used 10% of ps3 power did the remainng 90% go into split screen. Warhawk is a great game i play it everyday but its not the most beautiful game out there when we start pushing the graphics level on ps3 we seem to have no split screen. Personally i never thought COD4 graphics were that great maybe 360 graphics were better cus i played it for ps3 so i dunno KZ2 had way better graphics IMO but am sure when KZ2 comes out, it will lack coop or split screen. Hopefully it dosent cus i want split screen

4.4 - You're wrong on this one

The launch title Resistance Fall of Man has split screen. And i've played it through 7 times on split screen without a hiccup. Just because some devs don't make use of the facilities doesn't mean the machine can't handle it.

4.6 -

Call of Duty 4 has split screen on the PS3. I rented it this week and was playing deathmatch with my roommate earlier today. Resistance and Warhawk have split screen too. Resistance actually has a decent co-op mode even. Warhawk allows multiple players on the same TV to go online and compete with others. Those are the only ones I can think of, but I'm sure there are more.

edit: @everyone above me: Yaa, what you guys said.

None of those games really push the graphics though except for maybe COD4 and that dosent have split screen online. Motorstorm F1 and GT prologue do and there is no split screen in any of these. Actually i take that back the game was lead developed on PC so split screen prob jst wasnt on their road map

6 - i am one of those who wants this feature.

I read in a psm that it had 4 player co-op, then i got my pre-order and it didn't have it but i really enjoy this, already more so than COD4 online, and resistance.

It's fun playing with someone I the same room as you sometimes. Me and a buddy of mine used to have a hell of a good time playing capture the flag against 6 bots at maximum difficulty in Timesplitters 2. He would defend and I would run. It gets pretty hectic if you can get enough bots in the game.

Ohhh please don't call it Unreal 3. Unreal 1 & 2 from Epic is an entirely different series than the Unreal Tournament franchise :)

I don't know why you got disagreed NRG. The Unreal games and the Unreal Tournament games are totally different. The first time I saw Unreal Tournament I was shocked at how fast it moved. Unreal was a somewhat slow paced, methodical shooter. More along the lines of something like Half-Life or Halo. Unreal Tournament is just about the fastest most hectic shooter out there.

is it online or off line play? or both?

Also does COD4 have split multiplayer (playing on servers against other people not just you and your buddy) on xbox?

Three Walmarts, and one target later still no UT3. :( Either they haven't gotten any for some reason, or they are sold out. I didn't see any stickers out there for it. The late night crew didn't know anything about it at any of the stores even though they are the ones stocking it. Gamestop here I come, tomorrow. :o
