Is it safe to assume we'll have Splitscreen?
My friends and I are trying to decide if we want to get a new console, since it's 400/500 dollars, plus however games will be on the new systems. If we don't want to pay for it, we might pool our money or something and get a group system, and just play the game with splitscreen cooperatively.
Anyone know if they've confirmed splitscreen?

From Gamestop Split-screen co-op was a hallmark of Bungie's Halo series, but the same can't be said for the developer's next game, the multiplayer-focused shooter Destiny. The game won't have split-screen support, not because the studio doesn't like the feature, but because it doesn't fit with the developer's ambitions for the project. "We're actually not supporting split-screen in Destiny," Bungie community manager Eric Osborne told GameSpot during E3 this week. "We love split-screen. Obviously we have a legacy of supporting it. We know a lot of players love it. We love it. But we really wanted to untether guardians. Even if you're in a fireteam, you can go wherever you want. That level of freedom was really important for us. We know some players really like split-screen. Ultimately, you can't build a game to suit every single player out there." Though this year's Destiny will not have split-screen, Osborne made it clear that Bungie is always listening to feedback, suggesting that the option could be added to a future installment. "The good news for us is with a new IP you get an opportunity to set a foundation in place," Osborne said. "You get to see what players do; see what the community loves about it. You get to be reactive. And the reality is we have no idea what people are going to do, what they're going to fall in love with in this world." Destiny launches on September 9 across the Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4. Bungie will launch an alpha for the game on Thursday, and you can sign up today at www.GreatnessAwaits.com/Destiny. An open beta begins July 17 first on the PS3 and PS4, before coming to the Xbox 360 and Xbox One sometime later.

1 ReplyNow, Destiny is the exact example of what will happen to future gaming. All online. Only single player. They will force us to buy multiple televisions, consoles, and disks in order to play with our friends and families. This is the future. They will begin to leave last-gen consoles behind, and nothing will be in their way. We may be gamers, but truly, we have no power on our own. We need to band together, and bring the fight to them!

I am going to assume it has. No other game has had this type of speculation about splitscreen just because it hasn't been announced. Why?

Edited by What Up Essay: 7/3/2013 7:09:51 PMIf you and your friends are gonna share one console, you'd better let the guy with the most inches have it. Because split-screen would play way better on a big tv.

It is not safe assume anything because we still dont know enough about the game to assume anything
-
It would be cool, but I doubt it given the nature of the game.

Edited by Crapmaster147: 7/3/2013 6:52:00 PMLooking at Destiny's graphics, and looking at the fact that it's going to be on this gen's hardware, I doubt it. But if it were to exist in Destiny, you'd have to sacrifice frames or polygons. LAN'ing however...

I wouldn't think so imo.

1 ReplyI mean I think it probably will, but games as of late have been getting rid of that feature.

1 ReplyWhy wouldnt they?
-
No but I really hope Destiny has as me and my friend would want to play together in the same room not from separate consoles.

Assume nothing!!!!1111oneone!!

I don't think anything has been said about splitscreen support. Looking at Bungies' history of co-op experiences, it doesn't seem that farfetched that Destiny has it too. I hope it will be possible to play your own characters, either at home alone or splitscreen at a friends' house. That would be great!
