My impression is the desire for AAA games to look as good as possible prevents most games from supporting local split screen multiplayer. frankly, almost all of my multiplayer I do local, so that'd potentially be a real strike against more multiplayer focused games on those consoles than I thought, if this really is a common thing nowadays. just how widespread has this become? Because while I realize I'm probably in the minority around here.

The idea of that being the case for a freaking fighting game of all things, not having the option to play someone in the same room, had never even occurred to me. I know that games on PS/Xbox have phased out local, but I figured that was mostly shooters and stuff, which I never bother with. and only see options for 1 player vs CPU. Go in, boot up the game, head in for a quick battle. So, for context, I'm not a huge multiplayer person to start with, and admittedly most of the multiplayer I do generally ends up being on Nintendo consoles, hence why I'm out of the loop.Īnyway, yesterday I sat down with some friends who were fans of the anime, excited to give Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven a shot (I had picked it up in a flash sale or whatever).
