Local Multiplayer TRAPPED and BETRAYED in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber

[d]

thoughts?

[Zamasu]

AT LEAST WERE GETTING IT

[The SM Studios]

Makes sense why it's only that stage and hey, at least people can now SHUT up about the game not having Local play

[I love men]

Nobody is gonna shut up because they made the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ decision to limit it to 1 map. Unless its game breaking i see literally 0 reason that should even be a thing. its like a middle finger to local players. (we added it but did the bare minimum so haha)

nah, first "it made sense" when they announced there was not gonna be a co-op.. now its "a make sense only one map" cmon!

Clearly its a budget and time thing, if they did for 1 map, they could do for the others, now they will bait people into thinking it is full co-op all maps, people who would not buy because it had zero, will buy it. just good bait.

Wtf? The gaming industry crash can't come soon enough

It's probably done for performance reasons. The game has to have the same content on all platforms, which means that it's being held back by the Xbox Series S. The HBTC was chosen because it's almost certainly the simplest map in the game, and likely the only one that the Series S can actually run split screen on. I'd be shocked if the PC version doesn't receive a mod that lets other stages be played locally at some point.

If it has split-screen then yes it will be modded but the problem is if it's shared screen multi-player.

If it were shared screen, I highly doubt that it would be restricted to the absolute simplest map in the game. There aren't any performance reasons to do so. At the bare minimum other stages that don't have many features that would occlude the far player, like the tenkaichi budokai would be available.

Xenoverse series has limited shared screen local multiplayer, so it's a real possibility that they will try to pull that here as well.

Would really suck if this is the case, like at least give us a tournament and space map too...

But as y'all say, it is most likely a time thing and platform constraint issue

[Flashbang]

I know local co-op is a stable of the Tenkaichi games, however gaming has evolved alot since then. The fact its getting any kind of local co-op is amazing when nearly 90% of the people that buy it will never use it.

Long gone are the days of playing together with your friends on the couch unless you are 10 years old and at a sleepover. Most people prefer to game in their own homes for a plethora of reasons.

Nintendo still offers local co-op/multiplayer in nearly every release and if I had friends that still played Nintendo games, I would still hang out on the couch with them, like we did as kids.

But my nephew actually enjoys playing Switch with me, he doesn't even want to play alone ;)

But for this topic:
They shouldn't implement it at all then, either full functionality or leave it out.

No only 1 map is small compared to no local at all. Of course they can work on expanding number of local maps
