Was splitscreen cut from PC version?

"For Honor offers an engaging campaign and thrilling multiplayer. Enjoy the full experience with friends online, in split screen two-player co-op, or solo against AI."

Can you do splitscreen on PC, and if so, in campaign or multiplayer?

Pretty sure they cut splitscreen from PC version. Remember that being announced awhile back.

Like Donkey said, they came back on their word and removed split screen from the console version even

I think the problem was the game requires so much ressources from the consoles hardware that there isnt enough left to render everything a second player would see.

(i've experienced that with black ops 3 on ps4, if we get to far from each other the game lags to 20fps because it renders more area of the map)

[Deadly.Crystal.Lizard]

well, they even went for 30fps to make the dominion mode work on console so that might be it, you're right.

still, sucks to be held back again by consoles. but well, as long as it runs smooth. not like i have a high end pc.

They are not making many good split screen games anymore because they want to sell two copies instead of one.

I think Gears of War 4 on PC has a splitscreen campaign, but not multiplayer. Splitscreen needs to make a comeback on PC, awesome feature, that has sadly been left by the wayside.

I dunno if I want someone sitting on my lap while I play a game on the PC.

My gf and I play local co-op / splitscreen games all the time on PC, pull up 2 chairs. It's great.

Well, if the one on my lap was a female then ok. But, depends on what she looks like.

I personaly never played a split screen on the PC only on consoles. I look for split screen games on the PS4 to play with my son or daughter. Most suck bad. I think the best couch co-op I have played in a while was Diablo 3 and it wasent very good.

If you have nvidia geforce experience and turn on experimental features you can turn on game sharing which lets you stream a game to another friends pc, and they can send back controler inputs allowing you to do local coop over the internet. Works out pretty good as well.

How is the connection of the other person? I would not assume its great. Can you do this with Steam games?

The connection is very stable and honestly it works out pretty great. There was very little lag for us when we did it. The current limitation is you can only stream at 720p 60fps currently. We were using it with Tales of Berseria. So as far as I know you can use it with just about any game.

The best part is only the host needs a computer that can actually play the game, the "friend" just needs to run a video in chrome esentially.
