    Funny how I’m an era with 70inch+ TVs, split screen feels like a relic. No, instead we had to do our split screen on 18inch CRTs. Tsk.

    At least it exists still in the indie sphere (and I guess Lego games, when far apart!).

        Side by side, but let’s be honest, over/under gives a better field of vision. Depends on the game, I guess.

        Woe to the people with more siblings and the four way split.

          The Four Way Split was glorious chaos, and only the craftiest screenpeeker survived. You learned psychological warfare, trying to make everyone second guess which section was theirs.

          Over/under should give you a wider field of vision, unless it’s some bullshit like COD Cold War where my gf and I go to shoot zombies together and it puts black bars around 20% of the screen and makes it feel cramped on a 70” tv.

    “single player gamed”

        Codestral : please reverse machine code of game crysis, setup the build environement then add campaign coop mode on the style of dying light and black ops 3. Make sure co-op is joinable from the very beginning.

    OMFG just the other day I couldn’t play gta singleplayer without logging into my rockstar account, had to go through customer support to play my fucking game I “owned” on steam.
