Was split-screen added by choice or democracy?

[SpenserAtlas]

A LOT of people have complained about the possible lack of split-screen and maybe Bandai heard our voices and implemented it (in a rush if there's only one map)
or they had it planned and just thought of adding one map for the sake of not exploding a playstation, please remember nowadays it's really difficult to play split-screen as it's really hard to implement it, but also remember that this could've been done in a rush and maybe they can change this.

I honestly think they heard the vast amount of complaints and tried to think of any way they could make it happen. I'm just glad it's in even if only on a single arena.

Map packs exist in many games. I see no reason why this won’t have some. Having more maps than past game’s default lists would be great

It's not about having more map packs, but about how harsh are all of those particles and how much all of this stage destruction is gonna weight on consoles.

Well they would have to stress test them first of course. Why release buggy stages? Lol

Yeah, but you were going off course, we weren't talking about adding stages or stages being bugged.
We were talking about split-screen.
The reason there is a single stage is that the game wasn't even supposed to have split screen at all.
But after hearing many people wanting it, they tried to rush it into the game, and the easiest way to do so was using the simplest map avaible and then figure out how to do the rest later on, because with complex maps maybe a high tier pc would be able to keep 60fps but the weak consoles wouldn't just have fps drops, they would explode xD

Lol that is very true. Hopefully it improves with future games

I don't think we will need to wait future games (also cuz most likely this is the last bt we'll ever have).
I think that they will keep on working it until release and also after release, and later on directly patch it up.

I would be happy with that. Any possibility of a future game would be good but I accept either situation

Both. They likely considered it early in development, decided not to do so because of console limitations and possible interference from Bamco, and once the backlash began to settle in then it was decided to settle on a compromise by betraying and locking split screen multiplayer inside the hyperbolic time chamber.

At least until modders go SSJ3 and break it out of the Room of Spirit and Time.
