What happened to those good old times where most racing games had a splitscreen multiplayer? I think many racers would've been better if they'd bothered to add a splitscreen mode(For example Flatout 2).
Do any of you miss that, or is it just me? And if you do what games would you like to get the splitscreen multiplayer mode?
My greatest split screen memory is when i had 007:Nightfire ,,,,,the greatest splitscreen game ever we had 4 controllers and 8 Players we made so many matches and rules like when ever someone had a Tribomb they had to shout out "Tribomb !" meaning that we were not allowed to kill them unless they planted it the tribomb making the game much more fun
oh and the great fight for the golden gun ,,,,,,,,,,,,it took a careful push of the anolog stick and the triangle button to make the jump to get that one shot kill gun

Dam those were the days

Ill keep that in mind. You cant beat split screen, its so much better swearing and gloating when someones there. Much worse behaviour than on live. Doesnt seem worth rubbing it with some faaceless goon.

Resident Evil 5 and Left 4 Dead both have split screen, and they came out recently.

Hell, Left 4 Dead has splitscreen and online at the same time if you have a second controller.
do you need 2 xbox live accounts to do split screen online?
Nope, just a friend. It shows up as "YourUsername (1)", so if he fucks up it can be traced to you >_>

I really miss splitscreen. It's absent in the games that need it the most:

Q.O.S, Far Cry 2,GRiD,Burnout paradise, H.A.W.X., Midnight club:LA, and so on.

At least the cod series still gives out splitcreen FPS thrills, the kind that only Goldeneye could give out. Doom splitsreen is also kinda fun if you've tried the demo.

My question is what happened to 4 player split screen?

It sucks when you bring over 3 freinds to play Gears or L4D, only to find out that the split screen is only 2 player, leaving you to play Halo 3 or worse, Smash Bros.

Condolences and all that. But, dude, split-screen is still used alot. Probably by almost every gamer who doesn't have an internet connection.
Well, it might also be that i only have pc so i dont know if consoles have splitscreens or not.
Yea, that plays a big role in it. A lot of console games have splitscreen, Halo 3 being my favorite example.

Halo 3, and CoD4, (unsure mebe WaW as well), have 4 player, outside that it is dissappointing that most games don't incorporate it, or even up to 4 player split.

Well because online play has become a lot more popular, in my opinion, most game developers don't feel it necessary to cater to the minority who want split screen.

Split screen still exists, just it is becoming less prevalent due to more intensive graphics.
The only example of this right now could be Killzone 2, and quite frankly, I would rather a less graphically intesive game for a solid co-op experience.

I think there needs to be more split screen RPG games... I think it is one case where playing split screen is really really great... but that is just me...

Since online arrived, splitscreen has been less used by developers. But I still see it used quite often, and the addition of split-screen online just destroys everything in coolness.

^^ Agreed.

I love splitscreen, nothing beats playing a game with the other person right next to you. Except, of course for split-screen online.

I find splitscreen a bit obsolete :S
It's miles better if each of the players has his own screen (especially if you don't own a giant ass HD Turbo Mega Deth tv). So my opinion is r.i.p. split screen.

EDIT: I prefer playing with my friends in an internet cafe, because if they kill me too many times I can beat the living shit out of them.
