the new update question.

[NotApplicable]

i know that this new update might be the last. so i was gunna ask. since they are comming out for console, i am told they will have split screen multiplayer. so will this feature be avalible on the PC version. i dont think so but i thought i would ask

How would that even work? Going to hook up two keyboards and two mice to the same computer and then get all cramped in front of the computer screen?

-_- He means in a multiplayer game they can see each others' screen, not hooked together. :P

The problem with that is:

1. the consle version only holds 8-player multiplayer; that is easy to view, however, PC can hold 255 people; hard to view
2. it is much harder to see with another view blocking your own

what i mean is with xbox controllers. and only allow like 4-6 at most. cause you could do it witth portal 2 (yes i know it is only 2 people). so the capability is there. its just PC gamers are usually alone. but my labtop could easily run 4 people on terraria. i know veiw is a problem. but the xbox and ps3 can get that way to. and what i mean (srry if im restating this) is offline, once again like portal 2

I don't see your point. Split screen isn't made for "255 people", it's usually made for 2-4. This can work just as well on the PC as it would on any other device. Don't forget you can rig your PC to display on a television set rather than on your monitor - it's not that hard. Also remember that it's entirely possible for multiple input devices(gamepads exemplary) to be hooked into and used on a PC, so 2-4(or more)-player splitscreen could very well work provided your PC is powerful enough and your display is large enough for comfort.

What do you mean? I don't recall ever playing any game with split screen having one player's view instance override or block another player's.

I'm not saying split-screen is made for 255 people. 255 is the maximun allotted on a server; thus being very awkward to run splitscreen. Are you EVER going to be on a server with that many people? No. But the more that are on, the harder splitsceen would be.
__ I'm not saying another view would block your own, but you only get 1/2 1/4 or even 1/8 of a sceen to look at...
__This idea would have it's benefits on a private 4-6 player server; nowhere else. (Unless you rigged a split-sceen with certain players)
One final thing, am I flaming you? No.

How so? You don't really need any more than 4 or 6 on split screen, and rendering 4 different scenes won't be terribly difficult even on servers with a dozen or two people on.

Well, that's not much of a problem since a marginal amount of people own multiple displays and connect them together, use their television set as a display or own one display of a high resolution & screen size.

You're still being vague. How wouldn't split screen be just as viable for multiplayer? Assuming you can use splitscreen on a server hosted on the internet.

Where did this come from? I neither stated nor implied you were "flaming" me.

PEOPLE what in the beyond ♥♥♥ are you talking about. i ment offline, on a server you only see the ones that your computer is rendering, not running other peoples screens. that is what i mean

maybe admins could see other peolples views and have thiers in a small corner
