Will Sandstorm have 4 player split screen

[A-WOL-OWL]

The consoles are getting new stuff, so in theory the PC should get the same. Will local 2, 4 player VS be an option ? and local co-op

thanks

this is one of the dumbest threads ive ever seen

If I recall today, there is a Co-oP for Serious Sam 3. It not a bad idea if you ask me.

If u plug in some controllers then u should
Be able to.

Splitscreen play on PC would be a huge selling point for me. I love local multiplayer on PC - I have a full suite of four wireless 360 controllers, and don't own (or intend to own) an XBOX.

Insurgency: Sandstorm will contain some exciting new features such as a new story mode and eSports framework. The game is being built from the ground up with competitive multiplayer, console split-screen,

^ the consoles are getting split screen whats the problem with PC having it ?

( run a 20" 720p monitor from 1995 ? )

to do local 4 man splitscreen the hardware needs to be able to render/process 4X what it normally would need to.
so theyre gonna have to reduce framerate/texture quality to a point of being ugly.
theres a reason almost no other shooters on the market have splitscreen, and none (as far as i know) have 4 player spitscreen.
the corners theyll have to cut to get it to that point, would be detrimental to the insurgency brand.
why would you want a splitscreen? get another PC/tv. in fact youd be better off with 4 20 inch monitors from 1995 than playing 4 deep on a splitscreen. i cant think of anything more consolized than a game with local splitscreen.
the only modern shooter that i know of with local split is CODBlops3=console trash. and its limited to 2 players/

Look man, they've all ready announced that consoles are getting splitscreen. At least PC hardware scales so that eventually it WILL be able to run it split with all the bells and whistles.
The console SKUs will almost certainly not be able to split a 4k monitor/TV 4 ways - some PCs eventually will if they account for the possibility. Many people all ready use multi-monitor setups for work purposes, so with a solid implementation of local play each player COULD have their own screen if desired.

You know what? I love playing Insurgency online - I do. Playing together in the same room is tremendously satisfying though, particularly in situations where campaign coop is present. Not everyone has the money or space for a LAN setup.

Basically I'm asking that they at least don't REMOVE splitscreen from the PC version of Sandstorm. Even if it only supports specific resolutions due to UI scaling concerns, I'd be fine with that. It's functionality I find valuable.

This man gets it.

My old 5850 amd could play 3 x 1080p no problem in eyefinity. My new card can manage 4k at 40 - 60fps. Soon even newer generation cards are coming out.

720p in 95'? You surely did take a lot of drugs at once.

Also, one played 4-player splitscreen fine with much smaller resolutions back in the day.

right, its soooo easy to do that no other game on the market has done it.

Left 4 dead has splitscreen. I've messed with my BL;PS to get it to run 2 player splitscreen. Screencheat was designed around 4 player split screen. Unreal Tournament 3 has local splitscreen.

It sounds like you think just because developers don't bother adding split screen it's impossible.
