Online splitscreen

[Topiary]

Will there hopefully be an online splitscreen capability ? Hopefully the splitscreen won't be just local/offline !!

[funkynutz]

If it stays true to the original, there won't be split screen. It'll be shared screen (and if you fall behind and off the back you die).

what the heck is online splitscreen?

I thought splitscreen option is for couch co-op. When you are both online, u have ur own screen

Playing with a "local" friend on an online game. Like what you can do on Rocket League (or probably Mario kart ?) for exemple.

shared screen is the way to go :D

I will buy it if it has online splitscreen!

Splitscreen for once, Codies! Please not that single shared-screen game mode.

That was the weakest bit of couch co-op that this game has always been stuck with, from the old MMV3 down to Toybox Turbos.

Micro Machines wasn't coop... Losing your oponents by making them fall off the back of the screen was a legitimate winning tactic.

[funkynutz]

Don't think I ever played V3... Or Toybox Turbos... I played the original Micromachines, and MM2.

Exactly what Noma said - couch vs couch - online shared/split screen, so 2 people in one city can play shared/splitscreen against 2 other people elsewhere also playing shared/split screen...

Like Sonic Racing Transformed

More like 'was the only winning tactic' in the only mode to play with friends.

That's quite restrictive in the year 2017. In fact, I personally never enjoyed that mode much. I enjoyed the rest of the game otherwise. There's a lot of local coop/competitive modes that could be added.

Not only... You could also cross the finish line before your oponent if you both made it through all 3 laps. And wasn't there a tank that you could use to kill your oponent, or was that one of the later games?

Oh come on. It's not like anyone ever made it to the finish line now. 3 laps of neck-on-neck just didn't happen as frequently as you wanted it to.

You'd almost always wait for your opponent to slip-up somewhere for you to leave them in the dust (i.e. out of the screen and score a point).

[funkynutz]

Oh I admit it was certainly my favorite tactic. Used to make my little sister rage xD

My bro could keep up with me though.

Being able to come back from a desperate situation and win the bout, that's a feeling only experienced in that mode (like what Speedrunners also does).
