No local coop?

No shared screen or splitscreen? kinda bummer not having it in a game like this

The game is pretty fast paced and there's a lot going on at all times. Halving the viewable screen space for both players would be quite the handicap.

Halving the viewable space only matters if you're on a tiny screen. I have a ~100" screen, and I sit close. Plenty of space to zoom out.

I played tons of Nintendo 64 games in 4-player split screen at 15fps on smaller TVs. It's possible. The point is to have the option for families to get together and play the game without requiring multiple PCs.

Surprisingly, I have multiple PCs in the same room, but I don't wanna buy an OLED for my PC just to play 1 game. It's easier for us all to sit on the couch with surround sound on the beefiest PC.

Lack of local coop / Split Screen prevents me from purchasing, I would mainly play with my kids at home...

Do you have additional screens? If no, then split screen would not be a fun experience. Local coop within a single screen seems more believable but even then you have issues with HUD and with players likely get far from each other - and thus out of the screen.

Tho, at any rate you are free to purchase the game with it being played by one of your family with everyone else gathering around and backseating doing their best to help or just cheer the current player. When player dies, next guy gets to sit and play.

Silly take, you can plug your pc to the tv screen, also the game cult of the lamb gets pretty chaotic but people still enjoy playing coop.

Imo, given the game, It's kinda hard to implement since you can roam free on the map ( and the camera sticks on your character ), leaving apart it would take additional help they can invest in additional content.

Don't get me wrong, it would have been cool if the game were made to be played on the same screen, but it doesn't seem the case.

Same. Add local coop and I'll buy.

Just dropping by to agree that this is 100% a bummer and the "split screen chaos" thing just sounds like an easy excuse. We had 4-player split screen on the N64, DBZ Tenkaichi 3 was chaotic as hell but you could still local co-op, and you can free roam in modern massive games like Divinity 2. I'm sorry but I just don't buy it. Seeing the success of local coop games like It Takes Two and now Split Fiction, I'm honestly dumbfounded there isn't a bigger interest in what is obviously a huge market. Why not have both online and local coop?? What was once a certain buy is now back to the maybe list :/

If you think its so easy, go code a split screen coop game. Have fun!
