PGR3 - Limited to 2 players localy :/

**tomplast** · 11-16-2005

I can't say that I like Xbox360 but maybe some of you may find this interesting. On Xbox official page it's stated that Project Gotham Racing 3 will only support 2 players localy and up to 8 through System Link. That totaly sucks for the people who wanted to play 3 or 4 players on one Xbox 360.

Does anyone really play 4 player split screen racing games? The screens would be so tiny...

wassn't their gripe against Sony for only having 2 controller ports?

There's no excuse for that. I was pissed off when Rare decided (or was told) not to include 4 player split screen in Conkers Live and Reloaded. My friend did not buy the game because us 4 could not play it.

Yeah, people do all the time. Ever play any racing game on the Cube or 64? They are great fun in 4 player mode.

that can't be right?

i'm sure i seen a trailer and it had a 4 way split screen *scratches head*
XBL must give the incentive that offline play is dead or something?

Oh no way..this is even worse news for PGR3...

Theres lots of people who love playing 4 player, im one of them

Aint nothing better for a group of friends than 4 player split screen racing, especially on things crazy like F-zero or Mario hehe (i prefer wacky racing games, i dont like realistic ones, although that one for PS3, forgot the name just now...but those physics are amazing!)

I wonder what people are going to think of this..
I certainly wouldnt be happy stuck with 2 players offline even if i played online, its the fact that its not their when, say your friends come round, a good night in..."2 players only?! WHAT the hell!"

No, Live and Reloaded did NOT support 4 player split screen. Rather you had to have Live to play more than 2...

Is this just another scheme by MS to make it so more people will spend money to get Gold Live and play online with more people?

Seriously this is nex-gen, consoles should support 4 player spilt screen if it's a multiplayer game. It's not that hard is it?

This is officially one of my biggest pet peeves.

Whenever I play with lots of dudes, we use system link. I understand it's not as practical as 4 player split screen, but the experience is a whole lot better.

i never in my life played a 4 player racing game unless you count car/battle game like twisted metal or vigalanty 8. some people would complain about anything really its no surprize you say you don't like xbox and make a comment like this and say its different or even a bad thing a racing game for the most part is 3rd person and needs a wide horisontal screen to enjoy. platformers like kameo needs to be verticle 2 player and of course FPS's should be 4 player splitor other shooters.

Then you can't have too many friends king.

The N64 and the XBOX were the "party" systems. Having 4 player split screen in a lot of multiplayer games was awsome when i had my friends over. I played 4 player Conkers : BFD split screen on a 17" tv. Do you realize how tiny that is? That didn't mean crap, we could still see and do anything we wanted.

Now-a-days 4 Player split screen is getting slightly outdated, i'll admit it. But for the people who have friends and only one of them has a XBOX or 360, then this is just plain ridiculus. God have it in there for chirst sakes.

its no surprize you say you don't like xbox and make a comment like this and say its different or even a bad thing a racing game for the most part is 3rd person and needs a wide horisontal screen to enjoy.

It's no suprise you'd make a dumb comment like that either. Are you saying i have to have an XBOX to play racing games? I've played racing games on the N64, PS1 and PS2, even a Nascar demo for the XBOX. I've played 4 player spilt screen...
I'm arguing on the split screen decision not single player campeign. OF COUSE THE GAME WILL LOOK BETTER single player and 2 player. The point is that is you have 4 players you don't care how great the graphics are in single player but how much fun you can have with 3 other people. Though, you wouldn't be able to relate to this so why am I arguing.

It's not difficult! Unless you have poor eyesight...
