Sigh...your comment reminded me of the broken hearts my girlfriend and I endured when she bought me a brand new Xbox One for us to play Halo 5 together, only to discover that split screen multiplayer has been effectively smothered to death by the games industry (sans Nintendo).
Although I'm not sure I agree 100% with your last comment. Many of my friends bought DDR home versions and Guitar Hero/Rock Band accessories aplenty when they were popular. A lot of folks were certainly willing to shell out for the extra hardware.
- deadmetheny 9y agoOh absolutely, I was certainly willing to shell out the money for a Cobalt Flux dance pad as well, but without the arcade version of DDR selling me on the game I wouldn't have been willing to do so. The soft pads aren't even close to the same experience, honestly.
- emodendroket 9y agoI was sad to learn those guys went out of business. But DDR also got me into hardware modification hobbyism, which was cool.
- justinhj 9y agoI feel your pain. Call of Duty still implements split screen though
- ashark 9y agoYou can play Perfect Dark with improved graphics and modern controls on a 360 or XBone. It's still one of the best console FPS games around, and includes some really cool and unusual multiplayer modes (campaign co-op and campaign versus!) and bots (to fill out those 2-player matches).
- emodendroket 9y agoFighting games remain something with offline multiplayer games and in many cities there's a scene with people regularly getting together to play... so that's pretty cool.
