[QUOTE="peacebringer"]who cares about Split Screen Online gaming FTW. Get your friends to buy there own stuff and have them play you online. trust me playing split screen is a joke you can see what the other persons screen and cheat in FPS. Remember looking at walls back in the golden eye days?Nedemis
do your post EVER add anything important to threads? just curious...:|

Not unless it big's up the PS3, apparently.

Not quite the same as a racing game now is it? ;)

Yeah but it doesn`t make the system less powerful, dont it?

Direct from the Motorstorm review here on Gamespot:

'Sure, there's some ugly textures that crop up now and again, and the frame rate tends to dip during particularly destruction-heavy moments (split-screen would have probably murdered it altogether),'

When I played Gears split screen for the first time I have to say I was pretty amazed.  I expected to find a noticeable loss of quality or drop in framerate....I experienced neither.

Does F1 have split screen mode? Honest question as I really don't know.  In fact do any PS3 games run in split-screen mode? Maybe it simply isn't powerful enough?

Man I'm soo pist, VF5 was the only fighting game I was looking forward to,

To bad they had to dumb it down and took out on-line becuase of PS3's Frame Rate Issues

So, just like everything else PS3 related, all you have to do is wait for it to be good...

And let me guess,

If Gears of War was to be released on the PS3

They'd prob have to take out Split-Screen also.

Hmm, I think it was more of an issue where Evolution didn't have time to implement a split-screen feature and less of a "PS3 is not powerful enough" claim.  Fanboy thread.

The thing is you cannot play against friends online either since there is no buddy system and you cannot invite anyone to a game.

Common now.....the PS3 MUST be able to do it. It is the individual game. Even the Xbox could do splitscreen.

I don't think it's a hardware issue. I'm pretty sure lack of split screen is just developers being ....... I don't know what to attribute it to, but it's the developers fault.
