Re: NFS heat add split screen offline multiplayer

@Faheed89 Just forget it, EA have not made NFS games with split screen since 2002 ish. Nowadays its all about online im afraid,EA dont care about split screen anymore. IF you want that you need too look for racing games, that still supports split screen.

    From what I know, the last NFS game with split screen was NFS The Run for Nintendo Wii from way back in 2011.

    There hasn't been a NFS game with split screen since then.

    @TheRealJony Yeah i know that man, but i was talking about split screen on tracks. That is real true split screen racing too me,it isent the same in a open world envoirement. Buy the way The run was *, that game wasent even made for multiplayer.
  • @Faheed89 Sorry dude but after EA went from tracks, too open world racing and we got better internet. Then EA ditched split screen in favor for online racing.

    NFS The Run wasn't open world. You couldn't really free roam the USA like you can in both The Crew 1 and 2.

    I agree NFS The Run wasn't a good NFS game. It underperformed in sales, according to EA.

    But for what it's worth, I still enjoyed playing it.

    This game was pretty much the last NFS game that didn't have brake2drift handling model (as it was developed by Black Box), so mostly that made the game enjoyable for me.

    Also since we couldn't free roam the USA, that made the game feel more like a road trip (in a good way) as there was no going back once we complete a section of the game.

    If I were to choose NFS The Run or both The Crew 1 and 2 (as all these games feature the USA), I would choose NFS The Run as the biggest reason is it can be played offline.

    since 2000 ish ?
    how is that possible ?
    NFS rivals had split screen. Not so ?

  • @BYGA3No there is not split screen in rivals, you have too play it friends online. There was not split screen in none of Criterions NFS games. Black Box was the last devs too use split screen, and that was Carbon from 2006. I Remember that because i was on a youth club when i was 18, i remember a pretty girl crushed a boy in a split screen race on that game. Anyway after that they decided ,too ditch split screen in their. games

    @BVBgamer88 Criterion has been focused on online multiplayer for a long time since Burnout days,it's normal for them(real Criterion) to prefer online to split screen when they took over NFS in 2010
  • @GK3512 I know this guy was convinced there was split screen in Rivals. And i have played it on both pc and Xbox360\Xbox One, i dont think i have seen split screen in any Burnout games either.

    @BVBgamer88 

    If we ever see another EA game with a split-screen I'd be shocked!

    I won't, expect much from the next game studio making the next game either regarding spilt Screens.

    Won't be happening is just my thoughts! 

    Have a great day.

  • @BLVD69 Yeah and thats my point man, no arcade racers have split screen these days. Only hardcore sim racers like Forza Gran Turismo etc, but arcade like NFS Grid dont. Online is the big thing these days, personally i allways have prefered split screen. Since there are so many, ramming trolls in racing games today.

    Sorry @BYGA3 but Need for Speed Rivals did NOT have split-screen/local multiplayer functionality.

    It's not worth giving up, if people show enough interest in split screen the company will bring it back.
