Split-Screen

[Brospresso]

I heard about Split-Screen being added to the Xbox One, and was just wondering if and when this would be added to the PC? This is one of my favorite games of all time, and I would be really dissappointed if this feature was left out of the PC version. I would love to play side by side with my girlfriend or my family, any info on this would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Very unlikely, it's a "Console Feature" and it would be a lot more difficult to pull off on PC's since split screen requires the world to be drawn twice over on the same machine, once for each person. It's hard enough right now just to draw the game once for people.

On the Xbox/PS4 it's easier because they can fine tune how the game looks in split screen mode for good performance but because everyone's got a different computer that becomes a lot harder to do.. the finetuning for good performance. It becomes a feature that's hard to implement in a way that'll satisfy people without unnecessary slowdown.

At the very least, *IF* it did happen, it wouldn't happen until release or later.

Besides that, the Split screen players are only "Guest players" from what I read, which likely maens like other guest player games that the stats for them aren't saved, making it better just to have two copies to begin with for real progression.

idk Slizarus...I think I have read somewhere that the game would have split-screen for pc too (like one playing with keyboard+mouse and the other with controler). I can't remember where I saw that though so take it for what it is :/

I know that split-screen will be only at or after release though.

Yeah devs said that split-screen would come both pc and xbox, but now no word about pc splitscreen :(

Given the performance of this game I am honestly surprise it is even coming to xbox. A lot of games now a days more performant of this one don't do split screen because of how difficult it is to do performance wise.This is actually really difficult to do believe it or not.

Well I played the game on Xbox One, and the settings are tuned WAAAYY down, so I was really surprised when I heard it was coming to Xbox and haven't heard anything about PC. I personally would take a hit to the graphics if I could play side by side with my girlfriend, and sure I could take the better route and get two copies but that would require getting another PC that can run this game (which is not cheap). Hopefully the devs are cool and are fair to each platform.
