Split screen multiplayer should totally make a comeback…

66 points

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!).

Aaah those times… Were you an over/under, or a side-by-side player?

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.

Lego split screen did it well. side by side but if you move to some areas and other player does other things the vertical line starts to tilt and go horizontal, especially as you merge screens for co-op tasks

There are two ways to interpret this. Either the genie fulfilled this one for free, or the genie thinks this is a good wish but there’s no way to fulfill this, so tells him he still has his 3 wishes. Wonder which one it is.

Hopefully the fomer, otherwise it implies that even an almost almighty being is unable to overcome capitalists greed.

“single player gamed”

“Oooh, sorry, dude, you have to be grammatically correct when you make the wishes or you miss your chance for them to be granted!”
