Warhawk making split-screen sexy again

Modern multiplayer games have nearly killed something we loved from the Nintendo 64 era: split-screen multiplayer. Now that our televisions have more pixels and are larger, shouldn't we herald the return of split-screen multiplayer?

i completely agree. This is a HUGE selling point for me. I would never have had as much fun playing the beta if my friends couldnt play with me.

@Anubis & Wood. On this site people take away bubbles just for not favouring their opinion.

EZCheez6853d ago

I LOVED the game, but about halfway through the beta when I had family over and my cousin wanted to play I found out the splitscreen couldn't be toggled between horizontal and vertical.

This is such a small nuisance, and I can't imagine how it couldn't be fixed with half an hours work. If they could split the sceen 4-player, why couldn't you split the screen 2-lpayer in whatever direction you chose?

I'm just nitpicking, but I'm lucky to have the tv that I have, and I can't imagine the pain of having a horrible FOV when playing on a tv that isn't widescreen.

clownfacemcgee6853d ago

Not quite true. The 4-player split is easy because it's the exact same ratio as 1 player. 2 player however, has to either half or double the ratio.

So, normal is 4:3, 4-player is 4:3. 2 player is 2:3 if vertically split (horrible field of vision) or 8:3 if horizontal. (also somewhat prohibitive, but not as bad) And if you have widescreen, normal and 4-player is 16:9. And 2-player is either 8:9 (not that bad really) or 32:9. (WOAH! Where did that shot come from?)

Lord Anubis6853d ago (Edited 6853d ago )

blankman, you are loosing bubbles faster than you could ever change your underwear, what's up with that?

I would usually set up matches that allowed split screen and while i waited for people to join I would usually duke it out with my cousin.

what the article doesn't mention is 4 split screen for online as well. :(

Bits-N-Kibbles6853d ago

there is 4 player split screen for ONLINE!?!? Hold the phone... I didnt hear this! you mean, I can sit with four of my friends at my TV and play via online vs 28 other people with my 3 friends?

crck6853d ago

Which means you and 3 of your buds on one console can play with 28 others online.

Kleptic6853d ago

yeah its absolutely great...and it also doesn't point out that its completely on the fly...

You can start a online game by yourself...and if 3 people show up or something at your place...they just grab the controller, hit the ps button and then hit start...and the screen changes and he/they spawn right in...they can also quit the game before it is over, in which case the screen will go back to just single player again...it is the coolest thing ever...

One thing I wish those is that friends playing on your machine had a way to import their PSN account in the game...a friend of mine that was also in the beta was regularly playing at my place (I had the 7.1 surround..haha)...but it would simply say "kleptic(2)" for him...I wish there was a way to import his account to my ps3 temporarily in the game...not sure if that will ever be feasible...

The Wood6853d ago

but this site kills bubbles fast if you prefer a specific console. its like we all have to act like neutrals.

On topic i cant wait to play this game. I don't think the beta hit europe so hearing people who had the chance to play rave about it has got me amped. 4 player split screen is the shout. a BIG plus for people who have friends over.

pwnsause6853d ago

couldnt say it better myself. that beta was pretty addicting BTW

sonarus6853d ago

Really addicting. Loved the CTF mode the rush of grabbing that flag and hopping in a jeep for the long journey back to home base and hoping you don't get shot by planes or by tanks or by ppl on the ground with their rocket launchers. Usually you don't make it but when you do u get that feeling when u just dominated. Great great game and could potentially be a system seller for ps3 especially for fans of multiplayer shooters.

Roundtable: Dead Game Franchises We Miss

With every big game now belonging to a big intellectual property, there are those that have become redundant. Here are the series' we miss.

RPGer1814d ago

I miss Dark Cloud I mean damn, Dark Cloud 2 is one of the best Action RPG game ever made. The game have: Rich Worlds, different setting, tons of contents, vareity in gameplay like never before (and even after), best buliding mechanics, crafting system like no one did and finally impressive graphics.

Most underrated game ever. It deserved the popularity and sales of Zelda and Final Fantasy. ut unfortunately, Level-5 and Sony didn't advertise it at all.

titans99991814d ago

My franchises I wish would make a come back, are Battlefront by pandemic studios - galactic conquest was the best, mercenaries 1 and 2, and prototype 1 and 2...great games!

Remembering Warhawk – one of the PS3’s first multiplayer must-haves

TSA writes: "For many PS3 owners and members of the TSA community, Warhawk was our first foray into the mesmerising world of online multiplayer. Now, after more than a decade of dogfights, the skies over Eucadia are clear, the game’s two warring factions having called an eternal ceasefire. To put it in less poetic terms, Sony finally pulled the plug on January 31st with the online servers no longer accessible."

I hope we do get a next-gen Warhawk, that would be awesome. Warhawk was so underrated for it's time.

SegaSaturn6692595d ago

This game...my god. What a masterpiece.

mkis0072595d ago

I really enjoyed warhawk on ps3. Hope it isn't dead because of Starhawks average reception.

Knushwood Butt2595d ago

Time just flew by when playing this, and I always had that, 'just one more game, then I quit for the day.' urge.

Spent entire days playing it. Not healthy, but endless fun.

PoSTedUP2595d ago

after a very long hard days work i would come home and drink a few coors light 24 ounces while playing this game on my vita through PSnow, for hours and hours. it made me happy. it is one of those experiences i will never forget.

porkChop2725d ago

A Warhawk remaster or remake would be nice, but we know Sony isn't going to bother.

MONOLITHICIDE2725d ago

I only diagree because please dont say that. We have had zero games like this so far. No MAG, SOCOM, TWISTED METAL etc...

TheSaint2724d ago

I'd kill or die for a MAG 2 on PS4.

Babadook72725d ago

Yup. Remaster or better yet. A remake.

FunAndGun2725d ago

Please, for the love of all things gaming, make a Warhawk remaster. I logged on for Warhawk day last year, and promptly got destroyed by ground and air. Some hardcore players still playing today. Warhawk is my favorite MP game ever made, hands down!

Sevir2725d ago

Honestly, Warhawk and the original Resistance was pure multiplayer bliss on PS3 in it's first few years on the market. If they did a ground up remake of Warhawk for PS4 I'd be so happy. In similar to how they did Wipeout Omega collection on PS4

Concertoine2725d ago

I miss the simplicity of early 7th gen shooters.
