Game developers wage war against split-screen

Can someone tell me what they did wrong here?

Is it showing the players where they're supposed to sit? Am I supposed to be happy that more than 40% of the screen is now taken up by a void of pitch-black nothingness?

The funny thing is, it was full screen to begin with. Then one of the updates reverted it to this. Capcom is probably holding the full screen mode hostage as downloable content you have to pay for. They have you shelling out 15 dollars for alternate character costumes in Street Fighter, it's a wonder they haven't started charging their fans a breathing tax.

call of duty world at war is even worse.

What they've done here is make the 2 screens lower resolution in order to keep the detail levels high and framerate stable. If they made them both higher resolution (ie half screen each), the framerate would suffer, or else they would have to lower the detail. Hotwire246

I haven't played RE5 MP on the same console, but I did play COD5 MP on the same console and it's unplayable, because you can't see crap. I agree with you to some degree that the game developers most likely did that to keep the FPS stable, but the resolution actually decreases when you cramp the size, lol.
