    Would you guys like having splitscreen in this game ( Dirt 4 ) ?
    I certainly would. I wanted to play this with my friend but found out that it doesn't have local multiplayer, which is surprising since I could swear that Dirt 3 ( and possibly 2 ) had it.

    Some of the time splitscreen gives me headache. You can see that not a lot of time I'd love to make use of that. It can be good but I don't prefer it in most of the cases. It's kind of like nausea bringer.

    Splitscreen can make you lose your focus and one mistake and you lose

    Weird. How does splitscreen cause headache/nausea ? because you have to focus on a smaller area of the screen ?

    He only has to focus on his side/half of the screen though ? No need for splitscreen if you're playing alone.

    I think he was being sarcastic

    I'd really love splitscreen tho, I feel so nostalgic when I see splitscreen in a game these days. Reminds me of those NFS spliscreen sessions I used to have when I was a kid

    Yeah it kinda sucks when you have a friend over and you can't play almost nothing together. The worst thing about it is that many games do have a splitscreen option on consoles, yet pc ports very rarely have it.

    This is what I really miss from old games. We used to play split-screen racing games like NFS and Gran Turismo. They even have this feature present in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. I don't think any racing games in the future is going to have this feature. It's like the developers forgot it even exists.

    The option is there in many console games, but almost never in pc games for some absurd reason. They are just expecting everyone to play over the net it seems.

    I wish they would add a multiplayer mode because playing with your friends or family makes the game more fun.

    Can you give some examples of console games that still have them? I want to buy more couch multiplayer games for our living room console. We're only playing NBA 2k18 right now and it's getting boring.

    Which console do you have ?
    If its a PS4, then there is Rocket League, Plants vs Zombies GW 2, Gran Turismo Sport, Divinity Original Sin, COD WWII, WipeOut Omega collection and likely many others I don't know of.

    Cool! I didn't know Rocket League, Plants vs Zombies GW 2, and Gran Turismo Sport could be played on one console.

    It's an added bonus since I've always been a fan of Gran Turismo and I was planning to buy it anyway. :D

    I'm a fan of Gran Turismo as well. Which game in the series do you like the most ?
    Gran Turismo 4 on the PS2 is the first game in the series I've played, so I like it the most. It was pretty impressive back in the day.

    There were many more in the PS360 era, definitely. But there are still more splitscreen supported games on the consoles than on the pc.
