What’s more awesome, is that even more games are beginning to be intrinsically geared towards having up to four players. With split-screen multipayer seeming rarer and rarer in the big releases, it’s great to see it returning to form as the focus of many new games, especially independent titles. Whether you’re working as a team or dicking each other over, games are inherently more enjoyable if you’ve got chums to share them with, and if they’re in the room with you it means you can punch them, too. While pwning noobs can be a lot of fun, and online multiplayer is a cool way to socialise with friends you don’t often see, nothing beats having some mates over for some good old couch co-op or competition. I still don’t even know what the fuck ‘ping’ is, just that I often have a problem with it. The glory days of the split-screen seem to be behind us, moved over in favour of push-to-talk chat and ping.
It seems weird these days that most games would rather your friends be countless miles away than right on the sofa next to you.
