No because if you add splitscreen they will have to sacrifice performance/visuals to cater to it. Also with how the game is it wouldnt work

  • Bungie said they WILL change the game if we speak up about it. We just need to speak up.

  • Apparently you have no idea how open world MMO's are different than linear single-player games. With latter, it's very easy to support a co-op/split screen feature. With the former, it's not possible due to the sheer amount of info a machine has to process for one profile/account. Then you try and force feed double that info through the same machine... it's not possible unless Destiny gets dumbed down. By a lot. Just -blam!-ing drop it already. There's still three months left til Sept. Just save up and get another system.

  • Same old story with you really. We are just clamouring for some sort of co-operative mode. It doesn't have to be the main story, it can just be online PVP (like uh....EVERY Halo). The PVP segment is definitely not going to be an MMO. It will be instanced like every single Arena/BG in the MMOs, you keep BANGING on about. Unlike you, normal people can't spend all their money on video-game systems as they actually have other priorities in life. Tis a damn shame this game won't be getting much playtime with me and my mates, as any console game without split-screen generally doesn't. All the more lonely souls for you to open your heart to through your microphone though, eh Twilight-chan? Much love as always xx

Maybe your friends could, I don't know, buy their own consoles?

  • Yes, because everyone can pull $400+ out of their butt. Exactly. Give me a break.

  • If they can't afford it, then it's not for them. Simple as that. A console is a LUXURY item. It's not something you need in order to survive.

  • What right do you have to tell everyone what they should or shouldn't buy?

  • It's called having priorities. If you can't afford a console (or anything that's a luxury item for that matter) then either save up for it, wait until a price drop, or don't get it. It's basic common sense. I'm not rich in any sense. I saved up what money I would have left over from my weekly paychecks (after paying rent/bills/food/etc) until I had enough to buy my Xbox One. Whether or not someone can afford a console isn't Bungie (or any other company's) problem, nor should it be.

  • Actually it is. Why do you think Xbox One dropped $100? Because people bought PS4, which was $100 cheaper. Affordability is an aspect all major companies look at, and since Destiny needs $500 Million to break even, they need all the money they can get.

  • Console makers and game developers are two different things with different worries. And they'll more than likely make it back with no problem, with or without split-screen. GTAV has made over 1 billion and it didn't have near the amount of hype as Destiny.

  • That's because GTA V is a completely different genre. (AND freaking amazing)

  • A different Genre, yes. But it has a multiplayer similar to Destiny and has no split-screen. I was addressing that the amount of hype, followed by bringing a stellar product, brought them there. The same will happen for Destiny.

  • I believe it is to their benefit to add splitscreen to draw in more customers.

    Yeah, but it becomes a bit of a mission to lug a console and an HDTV around with you everywhere. Especially when you are just dropping round at a mates for a smoke and a couple of rounds of SWAT. EDIT: and DING, you've answered your own question...that is exactly what they want everyone to do...buy another copy of the game and another console. It's a money-spinner. Hope you had a nice holiday. X

  • How about no. You don't seem to realize that not everyone can go out and buy multiple consoles.
