can u add splitscreen instead of multiplayer

ResilientPanda0

I know the developers said there won't be any multiplayer, then can u at least add split screen because it doesn't make any sense to add 2 seats in you escape pod if your not adding multiplayer. If your going to have 2 seats can you make it splitscreen like if you agree

The DEVs don't have to be involved for there to be split screen. You just need an axe or other sharp object. Then, you can split the screen yourself. Problem solved.

If i remember correctly, The devs stated More times than needed that there will be no form of multiplayer.
Also really? "Like if you agree" Is that not a youtube thing? Split screen is also technically a form of multiplayer. Also who would want to have half of the screen space missing, It would look very strange.

Wow, I didn't think it was possible to top the levels of "Are you for real?" from the people who insisted that co-op isn't the same thing as Multiplayer, but...

Well technically there are two forms of coop, one where it is indeed splitscreen on one machine. All I have to say about that is, good luck with that on Xbone and low end PC's, when the game already runs into trouble with just one instance of the game on current end boss rigs. And of course the, over the net coop, which is indeed not dissimilar to multiplayer in the traditional sense. Just a sort of multiplayer mode, limited by the amount of players and game mode settings...

Both are... Multiple players, playing multiplayer

Both are... Not gonna happen...

In case you missedunderstood, that was the positive version of this sentence

@Foxy or @AceDude this thread could probably use an intervention, and a short explanation of how splitscreen is still, from the game's perspective, basically multiplayer...

It's the same thing as online co-op other than instead of netcode they would have to write the split screen code and optimize it that way. The stance was no multiplayer, has less to do with writing the netcode part. The game wasn't built for it. It's not "basically" multiplayer. Multiple players is by definition multiplayer. You would need to handle every action and interaction of multiple players against objects and the environment.

They would have to handle multiple player interactions, collisions, combat, positioning, with even further overhead locally because the game needs to handle multiple cells at the same time, on the same system, if players get too far apart. It's not designed to support it. It won't be designed to support it. Read the sticky if you want the developers official response.

In short, getting a second player's X,Y,Z coordinate doesn't even scratch the surface of the amount of work it would take to have a second player, no matter the method.

Multiplayer thread? I will shut that **** down. No exceptions!

Who else is hyped for TWD being back?
