[Old Report] PVZGW PS3 split screen

I have two kids who have been wanting Garden Warfare for a long time.  We have a Playstation 3 and pre-ordered the game.  Today we find out that they both can't play.  Thank you for the fighting and headache that is now going on.  Why would you not make a full game version for the PS3? Sorry I can not afford to go buy a brand new gamming system for my kids.  Either make the game with everything or don't make it at all.  What options do they have for playing with each other?  I would love to get a refund, but I know that won't happen!

sincerely,

upset parent/consumer

  • The PS3 system cannot run splitscreen, the same as Xbox 360. The new consoles have way more power (ram, processor) and are able to run the splitscreen and keep the map rendered at all times.

    It was specifically stated that splitscreen was not available on the older consoles, hence the price (xbox was 30$ for X360 and 40$ for Xbox One).

    Where is it specifically stated? I have read the entire back of the case and no where does it state that it is not able to do split screen. It says 2 to 24 network players. So regardless of what you say. You suckered us parents into buying a game for our children that they can not play together. This would be why my wife can not stand playstation and sticks with her nintendo. They are more family oriented than playstation and xbox combined. And by the way... A $10 difference in price doesn't make a damn bit of difference when an upgraded system costs $500.

    So on any other game for the PlayStation like COD you can have four screens on it for thevPS3 but you can't have a game that has a split screen. I've had a ps3 before the ps4 came out I'm not going to pay $600 dollars to buy a new system to play one game. Every other game I have played for the ps3 has the split screen capability. You are going to lose customers over this. Unless you send out an update that people who purchased the game that can allow split screen free of cost then people are going to hear about it with social network these days

    I agree with it not being stated on the box. It stated 2-24 networking. Possibility that one of those players is playing with you. This is bull. Waste of money and 30 minutes trying to figure out what is going on. I bought this game for my sister as a Christmas present we have three PlayStation remotes to play with more than one person for a reason. Fix this or you will lose customers
