Will Destiny have local coop/comp multiplayer aka split screen?

Yes, Destiny will have split screen

398

No, Single player only

115

Limited, only in competitive multiplayer

28

I'm generally concerned that Destiny won't have split screen. This is a big deal for me because I'm lucky enough to have a gamer for a wife. Alot of our free time is spent gaming because let's face it, its expensive to go out these days. $60 bucks and we've got months of fun. However, since I've got my PS4 I haven't been seeing too many local multiplayer games. Warframe was a total disappointment when I found out my wife couldn't play along side me, and that game is only a co-op game. Weird. I know its great to have the screen to yourself (I love it too), but the majority of the time, games are a shared passion in my house. If Destiny winds up not having split screen and doesn't allow PS3 and PS4 to play nicely together, its looking like I'm going to need another PS4 and a new tv.... :( Enough about me, what do you think?

  • Me and my wife also love to play video games together, like mentioned earlier, it is too expensive to go out but we definitely see the value in buying a great game for months of fun together especially with a new born at home! We would be thrilled to have a co op option that is not split screen just like you see it while raiding or what ever, its worth the quality time and NOT an option to purchase 2x copies of systems and games. Come on BUNGIE you guys are vigilantes in the gaming community! Break the mold by giving the loyal gamers what they crave and don't be greedy like the rest.

      If only Destiny wasn't supported on last gen consoles, then maybe it would be possible. Please start or support a movement to drop last gen.

      • I'm so bummed it doesn't have split screen :/ My girlfriend wants to play but she isn't that good at fps. She would play halo with me because I could help her out. I love playing Destiny but it sucks when she has to just sit and watch.

      • If bungie employees really read forums for feedback they should already be working on this . Split screen would b a Hugh selling point for this game

      • I would really like it for me and my son who is turning 12. He sits and watches me play and knows everything I need to do and being able to play alongside him would be such a trip. If nothing happens soon I might have to bite the bullet and set him up in the next room w/ TV and console.

        • It would be really nice to play alongside my brother. I mean and I'm only asking 2 player. They could make it a rare (or exotic :D) 3 player game and you could make a whole fire team, or make it really weird where everyone could do there own thing and join the local team at will. Come on Bungie, do it for the light.

        • Well, if they end up doing split screen, you can also expect real 3D.

          • I believe there will be no split screen, but if bungie does make a second game (wink wink bungie) they might have split screen or in the DLC, but most likely not.

            • I honestly think that with all the hardware/software the PS4 is filled with, that split-screen really wouldn't cause any major problems. My fiance and I both enjoy gaming, and seeing as how she prefers shooters, we play a ton of Borderlands and other such titles, all of which have local split-screen with no problems, on older consoles. Now, you would think that with something as "groundbreaking" (so they claim) as Destiny and the PS4 is, that something s simple wouldn't be a big deal. Please, Bungie, listen to your fans, at least on this subject if nothing else... Don't alienate your longtime fans and their spouses over a lousy decision.

              • I really doubt it's going to happen. I would think there would actually be performance issues if such a feature was used. I could be wrong though, but I think your only option is going to be having two consoles. :/

                  After watching the IGN interview/demo of Destiny's competitive multiplayer, I really hope they have at least 2 player split-screen available in that mode (a la resent COD games). The truth is the gameplay of these matches isn't anything revolutionary or different. It looks polished. It looks TONs of fun (!!!). But it doesn't look like a huge leap from the Halo and COD multiplayer experiences we have already enjoy WITH SPLIT-SCREEN on older, less powerful consoles. With this in mind I am hoping strongly that at least 2 players can share a couch, a pizza, and an afternoon together in the Destiny universe. Beyond that I'm even hoping against hope (though it is HIGHLY unlikely) that there might also be a local 4 player split-screen experience for when my friends come over and want to reminisce over our shared memories of halo (1 and 2) and the hundreds of hours we enjoyed eating, drinking, playing together. But I digress.... See you star side!

                    [quote]jax sedrin: Three people in the reddit thread I linked above (including myself) mentioned how not having split-screen prevents them from playing with their wives. The gamespot article linked to in the reddit post has three more people saying the same thing. And four more people in this thread (so far) said it as well. And that's just husbands talking about how they wanted to use this game as a way to spend time with their significant others, to share their interests with them, which strengthens their relationships. What about siblings in the same household? What about a parent that likes to spend time gaming with their child? What about friends and neighbors that don't own/can't afford these expensive consoles like we can? The game is about co-op. Bungie has made that very clear. But when they say "We can't make a game for every type of player", they are really saying "We're only making the game for people that have friends that own the same console and live in a different household." I've been hyping this game to my wife for several months now. I told her I finally found a game I think we can both really get into other than Halo. I already have a ton of single player games that I try to find time to play without her, but I don't want to have to choose between spending time with my wife and my love of video games. I want a game like Destiny, that I can play for hours, days, months, possibly even years with her, in the same room, and share the experience with her in person. Please. Bring back split-screen.[/quote] That's just one of the many reasons splitscreen must come back to Destiny. Help join our fight. http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post?id=65349153

                  • Now, 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!

                  • Sad trend, it seems. One day even sports games will only be one person per machine.

                  • I hope that Destiny has split-screen, but if not I guess I'll have to share with my girlfriend and take turns with my friends that come over. This game will be amazing either way, but no split-screen would be a disappointment.
