Split-screen gaming on console?

Post » Wed Aug 28, 2013 9:56 pm

I know for some this is a ridiculous question, yet I must ask. Will you guys do something for console gamers that want to play local. In other words my wife and I will be sharing an X1 and cannot afford to X Box's just for one game that would be insane. Though i wouldn't mind paying the $30 monthly so we could share this adventure. I know there has been mods that people made to make Skyrim SPLIT SCREEN! Maybe do something like Diablo with single screen co-op??

If you are willing to spend $30 a month, what I would do is start doing that right now, but instead save that money, perhaps in a different bank account. That way by the time the game gets released, you could have enough for another Xbox One, or be pretty close to the cost of one.

Seriousily doubt that will or would ever happen. I can't think of one MMO that even does anything like that. In a case like that, you will definitely need two consoles. I don't blame you for wanting to enjoy the game with your wife like this, but alas you might have to fork over for the extra console, the Live cost and the sub cost.

Extremely unlikely to happen.

There are no mods like that. The so called Skyrim split screen videos on Youtube are simply two Xboxes/PCs and two TVs/monitors next to eachother and two people playing their own separate single player games. They aren't connected in any way.

Well perhaps I as well as many others will just have to keep on wishing there was another champions of norrath or baldurs gate with a deeper gameplay mechanic that was rich like that of Elder Scrolls...

All I am saying is Bethesda could make soooo much money bringing company together on and offline charging both accounts and re-writing what we know about mmos. There are so many people out there looking for a true champion to a game such as this!

Seriously even if they couldn't incorporate this idea in this console GIANT imagine the world of TESO with the single screen multiplayer mechanics if the likes of Diablo that would be AMAZING!
