Should Destiny add splitscreen Post Launch?

Yes

8680

No

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. http://www.change.org/petitions/destiny-add-split-screen-co-op (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. http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/66727205/0/0

    • Splitscreen is a waste of time and a pointless drain on resources. Eff it in the bhole.

      • Me and my cousin basically live to play split screen games together. So far, there's been no split screen games on the PS4 that stand out for us to play. Destiny could be that game.

      • Split screen to me personally is just as, if not more, important than Oxygen.

      • I don't understand the point of developing only for consoles, without splitscreen? Its the only benefit to console gaming over the PC, and without it, it takes away any perceived 'social gaming' edge that a console only release has. The only reason to play on a console over a decent PC imo is when you have friends over and can play splitscreen, without that there is just 0 advantage/ -blam!-ing stupid idea not developing for PC, I refuse to buy a next gen console just for Destiny, or renew my Xbox live any time soon.

      • My vote goes to Splitscreen. I'd prefer only a two player splitscreen however, like a couch coop style thing.

      • Not that I am really for one way or the other in this game particularly but the recent trend of making games only compatible for one player is extremely frustrating. People say that this game is better as a single player but all the new systems are really doing is taking away the experience of playing cooperative games together with your friends in person and putting you in your room by yourself. It is anti-social if anything and they are simply after profits because that makes everyone of your friends buy the console and game just to play with each other. The only games I have really seen on the PS4 that are more than one player is sports games. I have Need for Speed, Battlefield, etc. which all used to work just fine with splitscreen and now they took it away. Now I can't even play video games with friends when they come over because no one likes to sit there and watch someone else play a game all day.

        • I'm definitely backing the support of split screen. Most of my best memories of gaming were done in split screening.

        • I never bother with voting or commenting...seriously I don't, but this actually needs to happen. This will literally decide whether I buy Destiny or not for I am either buying it for me and my friends who cannot afford it, or not buying it at all. Please just add it.

          • Halo had some of the best split screen support around, and it'd be kinda cool to see bungie continue the glory of splitscreen campaign in their next franchise.

            • This is so important. My fondest memories of every Halo game was playing with a buddy beside me on the couch. I don't remember any of the moments spent listening to them through an earpiece (read: Halo 4). Please add splitscreen. Especially early in a console cycle, I'm worried many of my friends without a next gen system will simply skip Destiny waiting for Halo 5 or some other game down the road when the price is lower; but if they came over and were playing Destiny on the couch with me, they might get excited and end up buying a console and a copy of your game to play when we cant play together.

            • I was all excited to pre-order Destiny, and then I heard the E3 announcement. Now, I am not sure I will buy it. It looks like a great game, but I was really counting on the split screen CO-OP. I will probably pass on this one.

              • Amen. Bring back split-screen. Ive got friends who don't own consoles but love to team up on split-screen at my place, so split-screen is a must.

              • I'm not a splitscreen naysayer. I love the feature, I think it's sad that less games have it, and it would've been great to see it in Destiny. But it's astounding how stupid some of you here look when you think just adding splitscreen is some simple task. This is Bungie we're talking about so we know it was heavily considered but ultimately not included and probably for very legitimate reasons.

                • One has to understand consoles limitations. With new games becoming so demanding graphically and physics wise less and less will have split screen. Consoles are being pushed to their max now with the ever improving graphics and physics in games, this makes it very very hard to push top end graphics and have enough power left to draw the game twice on the same screen.

                  • without the ability to have people over and play against just really takes the personal feel out of the game . the best times spent on halo were with your friends in the same room. they take that away and you just end up playing with strangers in 5 years . i can still pick up halo ce with a friend and play anytime and it adds to the longevity of the game and the experience.

                    • dear split screeners you are but a small sampling of the playing populace. that lets face it uses the option from which you derive namesake from. to camp like little bitches in multi- player. so i say nay to you and your culture of loser-dom.

                      • First and best multiplayer experiance I ever had was playing some split screen halo 1 and halo 2. Playing the alpha I see no reason why they couldnt do it. They can and ill be very depressed if they dont.
