Bungie just released that there will be no splitscreen in Destiny. However, they also said that if the community came together on a subject then they WILL listen. We need to band together, and show that we CARE about whether or not there is splitscreen.
I want to play with my friends and family. I don't want to spend $400+ just to please these major companies. Ever since Halo, I've loved split-screen. I couldn't STOP. 4-Player FPS was my DREAM, and now Bungie, my HERO, makes the one of the most beautiful games I've ever seen single player, I couldn't stand aside.
This is for the gamers who love splitscreen.
This is for the people who want to make their OWN choices, not the ones who'd rather have greedy gaming companies chose FOR them.
This is for the family.
This is for the friends.
This is for split-screen.
Please comment below why you do or don't want split-screen.
Also share this link all over the web. Twitter. Facebook. Bungie. With your help we can bring split-screen back to Destiny.
(EDIT #2) The change.org petition was made by someone else.

(EDIT) Also everyone. Be nice and respectful of others. Keep it clean out there, I don't want this to be reduced to a shouting match. Keep the peace.
I hope you're listening Deej.
(EDIT)
Guys, lets think for a moment.
People talk about consoles not being able to handle splitscreen and single player experiences being ruined because adding splitscreen would reduce single player graphics.
If this was [b]true[/b], wouldn't Bungie have just [b]said[/b] that in their explanation of why splitscreen wasn't in Destiny?
Think about it.
If consoles didn't have the power, wouldn't Bungie have just [b]said [/b]that for their reason why Destiny didn't have splitscreen?
If single player graphics were decreased, wouldn't Bungie have just [b]said [/b]that for their reason why Destiny didn't have splitscreen?
But Bungie [b]DIDN'T[/b].
Their silence speaks for itself.
None of the above is [b]TRUE[/b], because if it [b]WAS [/b]Bungie would have just [b]SAID SO[/b] as their excuse for no splitscreen!
[b]Think [/b]about it! If it was [b]TRUE [/b]they would have just used it as their excuse!
However they [b]DIDN'T[/b].
Which means only one thing:
[b]IT ISN'T TRUE.[/b]
They [b]never [/b]mentioned it! They said nothing about console power or single player graphics!
So the REASON WHY it wasn't mentioned is because it [b]SIMPLY ISN'T TRUE![/b]
Consoles [b]CAN [/b]handle it!
Singe player graphics [b]AREN'T [/b]affected!
And Bungie doesn't [b]want [/b]us to know!
They only technicalities they went into were "rendering" and "tethering", however, they also [b]never [/b]said that splitscreen [b]WASN'T [/b]possible!
They speak of rendering and tethering, but never said that it [b]WASN'T [/b]possible!
Cmon people! Look at it! Splitscreen [b]IS [/b]possible, and we [b]need [/b]to speak up!
Btw MMO's can have splitscreen.

19 RepliesAfter playing the beta, I'm even more so against the addition of splitscreen. I see why Bungie didn't want to add it.

love splitting cheeks and thighs

IT'S A TRAP!!!

To be honest. If it means Bungie going through a lot more work than i think they will, no. If it's as simple as adding another screen, or something close to that. Then yes.

Edited by sVapour: 8/2/2014 9:25:21 PMIf split screen negatively affects the overall quality of the game then absolutely no, if it doesn't affect the game then I don't see why not.

16 RepliesDon't care about split screen! Ruins the feel of the game.

Destiny is just that kinda game where split screen would ruin the feel of it. No split screen. That would also kind of ruin the whole 3 man fireteam set up. Also, think about the raid? Would make it too easy.

Its shared world technology may make it impossible...I mean bungie never said it was possible so you never know...
-
I think that would be nice, split screen,

2 RepliesGuys don't be blind, how about families? Sons and Father having more of a modern connection between each other. I mean either way you get held back with you're own fireteam's desire to explore. Split screen can add tons of money, tons of extra pre-orders, especially in that type of genre. And there's a reason why Sony,XBOX created a second controller, 1. If the first was broken then you can get it replaced. 2. Play second player games. just look at the sales of 2nd controller. Add that to the current sales of Destiny's Pre-orders. Meaning that Split screen can make a lot of money. It can be a Paid extra like pre-order that can come along with the limited edition. Or buy it separately. And no, its not one person, one console. it'd save a lot of money buying an extra console if you're principles is right. But no it's wrong. Its like having a Cabinet of all you're previous played games before. I'd rather have it like that. Than games in a hard drive library inside my ps4 : Digital edition. Due to the fact, of having that extra feeling, lending the disc to ya friend with the case and the booklet inside. I'll try as much as i can. Split screen is Possible

1 ReplyThis isn't Halo it's Destiny. It's World of Warcraft with guns, as noble as your cause is, spiltscreen would not work.
-
Aye. Yes to splitscreen. Splitscreen is huge. I will not buy Destiny unless Bungie provides splitscreen as an option. My wife and I love to play games together. I can't, and even if I could, will not buy another Xbox One just so we can play together. Shame on you Bungie. So disappointed.
-
We cannot even play cross gen from Xbox 360 to Xbox One!! Bungie add splitscreen!!! If you don't, this means the only way to play with someone in the same household is getting the same console again with a second copy of Destiny :/ PLEASE CHANGE IT BUNGIE!!! Add splitscreen or add cross gen, don't leave both out :/
-
Split screen would be awesome! Especially when you play co-op with a friends place in convincing them to upgrade from a ps3 to ps4 to get Destiny!
-
5000 th post I commented on this a long time ago I think this is a great idea and it has certainly gotten the publicity it needs to be changed

I'm 30 and from the old generation of gamers. I miss split screen and being able to play a game with my friends in the room with me. There no good reason for not supporting it at least as an option. Of the video quality suffers than that's just something is as the consumer should decide for ourselves if we are willing to deal with. It should be an option at least. I love connecting with people online but want to be able to have my friends in the room as well playing together.

2 RepliesNo! Why? because I hate sharing the screen with friends. Even they hate split screen. basically all your vision is cut in half and you cant even see as well

1 ReplyAnd also guys. Remember. People say mmo's can't be splitscreen. Not true. Minecraft is an mmo and it has 4 player splitscreen. http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/66727205/0/0

4 RepliesYou people need to shut up.. Split screen ruins the game for us good players! Every other game I have played someone's little brother is playing on split screen and they are absolutely Shit. I do not want to be on public raids with people who are split screen.

I played the beta on xbone and a tiny bit on xbox 360. It was my first time playing on the xbone and the beta was great. On 360 it was still fun but you could definitely tell the differences. I believe that split screen for 360 would be quite hard to do and quite bad for the game. Xbone and ps4 graphics were great etc and I think split screen could actually work next gen but now I don't think they would.

1 ReplyNo, it's not in there for a reason.

I would love splitscreen
