Killzone Shadowfall confirmed to have no splitscreen multiplayer

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/08/28/killzone-shadow-fall-ps4-multiplayer-hands-on/#comment-890461

Why is this feature removed.  Halo has 4 player splitscreen and everyone can go online.

Sony knows their fanbase well.

No real life friends = no need for splitscreen multiplayer

Killzone should go the way of Resistance.  Not a very popular series.

Killzone has more preorders than Forza, Ryse and Dead Rising 3 combined :lol:

Multiplayer sounds so amazing from that hands-on. Can't wait.

WHAT?! No splitscreen? What is this?! COME ON GG! :(

Hype for Killzone just dropped like a stone. Might cancel the preorder.

Who's stupid enough to play online on PS4.  Dey don't got dat dedicated servers baby!

lol Exactly, VGchartz imflames nothing but PS numbers. 

I wasn't expecting it. Killzone never had splitscreen. Although, it is something they SHOULD strive for. It's an important feature which stop you from showing your friends.

Hahaha that is brilliant, that's like asking who was stupid enough to pay for online on 360 as they didn't have dedicated servers neither. You certainly fall under that category.

Correction, 3 did, at least for the co-op I can't remember about the actual online. But yes, it should have it.

Barely any 360 games had dedicated servers, probably similar amount as PS3 games.

I was thinking split screen multiplayer. I don't think this game even has co-op...?

Ah ok, then yes you are probably correct. And nothing has been said either way, I still hope it does have co-op mind, even if it is unlikely.

Hopefully they will add splitscreen offline botzone.

[QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"] um yes it did...WilliamRLBaker

Well ok, let me change my statement ever so slightly. Probably 1/25 (complete guess) 360 games had a dedicated server, which is pretty much none, same as the PS3, and probably same as PS4. 

Hopefully they will add splitscreen offline botzone.

ristactionjakso

I hope so, it annoys me that it doesn't appear to yet.

It's 2013 people. The vast majority of games abandoned split screen multiplayer a long time ago. :P

I swear, sometimes I think I'm the only person in the world who enjoys inviting friends over to play video games. Besides fighting games, I think the last time I played a co-op or local multiplayer game was in COD4. Developers really need to stop this shit. If you're going to make a multiplayer game, you should make it local multiplayer as well.jman1553

I agree completely. I would love it if more devs brought back splitscreen, maybe bots and more co-op too.

I miss the days of split screen and offline bots :(

Interesting. I see it the opposite way around. In my eyes the beginning of this gen had almost 0 split screen games, and they slowly phased them back in as the generation progressed.

:lol:

That is quite laughable :lol:

seanmcloughlin

Me too! I still regularly go back to Timesplitters 2! Still best offline split screen with bots out there in my eyes.

I'm more concerned about the apparent continued trend of noobed up weapons and player motion than I am co-op.  Anyone that says its the same old player weight of the series needs to go back and play KZ2 to remember what player weight actually feels like.   Hopefully they didnt screw up the class system like they did in KZ3.  If they got that right this time, the player motion won't be as big a deal.

Looks like Halo will have to continue in carrying the fire.

Halo is a relic.

For MS maybe.  Fortunately, Sony doesn't need KZ to come out every year so they can pretend to have some exclusives worth playing.

No suprises there, in fact, if you ask me, I'd say splitscreen MP will be completely scrapped by the end of 8th gen.

That's a good thing

lets be honest does anyone even play split screen anymore? havent done that since time splitters for ps2stereointegrity

Well that's quite lame, but Killzone's never really seemed like a party game like Call of Duty.

Who cares about split screen multiplayer? Couch co-op is only good for me in sports and fighting games. Rather have the full screen to myself for everything else.

What PC games use splitscreen...the true hermit platform.
