Should Destiny add splitscreen Post Launch?

Yes

8680

No

4607

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

  • I think it would be useful to have split screen and if it was in the game how would it affect other players if they will not use split screen, it only affects the people who do use it and enjoy the moments with friends or family. That is what made for me cod and halo fun due to co-op split screen.(My opinion)

  • They can just do it How CODBO2 did zombies. Sign into your psn or xbl account and play as a signed in guest on the second half of the screen.

  • It is pretty much impossible, you would need to have two different xbox live/PSN IDs signed in at once, that then also, connect to their own specific Destiny accounts linked to these console accounts, which I honestly doubt is possible... And then, the server's feed would probably have to go to your console itself, and not the individual player, which means you'd end up with mixed loot, or something... And then you'd probably have to take up a player slot for whatever bubble you were in... or crucible, or whatever... Your screen would be smashed in and the view would be weird... It's just ridiculous honestly, and MMO's can't "Split screen" exactly, you can dual client, and alot of MMO games suffer from serious crashes because of that, or simply do not allow it, one way or another. Why do people just assume this is easy/possible? I have never played a console game, that has a character saved on a server, allow me to split screen... Does DCUO have split screen? GTA5? Dust 514? No.

    • [quote]Btw MMO's can have splitscreen. http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/66727205/0/0[/quote] Destiny's graphics are a little more sophisticated than Minecraft's.

        Maybe split screen in a 720 or 480 reso. It might have to be an instance or special DLC, but it's cross gen so who knows what could happen. I'd prefer a mobile ghost for my vita, but whatever. Throw those ideas out there, maybe someone might pick some up.

      • Well I think your main limitation is that to play multiplayer, which split screen is, would require that both players to have PS+. PS+ is a requirement for playing multiplayer on the PS4. So is your family willing to get a PS+ for every member? I believe with Microsoft, anyone playing online is required to have a gold membership for Destiny. Remember Destiny is an "always online" shared world. Second limitation might be screen size. You have an always online connection with the servers most likely tracking the activity of every objective and player on that server. Not your console. The tethering part? Screen resolution may be used to help determine object / player locations for these servers and everything is programmed to that specific screen resolution. The rendering part? Going split screen changes that resolution and forces the server to do double work with two different screen resolutions. The lower resolution may not be as good in determine location which for pvp would be a bad thing. I just don't see split screen coming since this is an always online game.

            Split screen is a thing of the past for many games. This game won't allow it for numerous reasons, too many to count as to why Destiny shouldn't have it and won't have it.

                • Truthfully I couldn't give a shit less about split screen. However other people having it is not a problem for me so yes, the should add it. The only question i really have is how it would work. Do you just get a scrub guest guardian? Do you somehow get to use yours? Something else?

                • you keep using the word mmo, I don't think that word means what you think it means SS would make the game no better or worse IMO, because its unfair in ways, a 3 team Strike fire squad for example, your console would control 2 of the 3 slots, if you lose connection, the guy you are playing with is screwed. Also Hardcore players avoid SS users. Also both SS users would have a vision handicap not being able to use the whole screen.

                  • There's no reason not to add this post launch. I don't see why people don't want it. I personally would like a nice system that lets me play a PvE shooter with my friends who don't even know what Destiny is.

                  • How do you think split screen will work? The moment someone out classes their partner person #2 becomes dead weight and a nuisance.

                  • I would love this. I don't want co-op really. But split screen offline capable crucible with custom games would be great. I've dropped so much time into halo with friends doing this I'd love to be able to do it with destiny. I didn't like halo 4 and don't expect anything from 343 to have the same magic.

                    just for pvp, that would be great. If not, so what.
