Dreakon139 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Well, I was seriously looking into Dungeon Siege III until I found out they left out 4 player local coop for absolutely no reason. I mean really, you support 4 players online, but only 2 local. Why punish gamers by strategically making your game worse for no reason whatsoever? Now I'm back to square one. Are there any 4 player local coop games like Dungeon Siege out there? Medieval, serious, top-down, leveling/progression, loot and equipment. The closest I've found is Castle Crashers, which is fun but lacks the story, the scale, the depth and the length of a legitimate retail RPG (even if DSIII isnt necessarily the best example of the RPG genre). Maybe Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, but friends and I have played through those games already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azakos Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Is there a shared camera or separate cameras for the online coop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirbz Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Borderlands has 4-player splitscreen? yes, i am pretty sure it does. also, LBP has 4 controller compability... idk why developers remove split screen though.. i find that annoying ;\ they focus more on online instead of focusing on local, like they did in the old days. its like if you want to play with a brother or something, he needs to buy his own ps3.

Dreakon139 Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 yes, i am pretty sure it does. Are you sure? Every Google search I make for 'borderlands 4 player local coop', a lot of people are saying 2 player local, 4 player online. Did they add it in a patch or something?

Nagflar Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Can't really think of any except for LBP, in which it works since it's technically a 2D platformer. In games with complete 3D environments and in a 3rd person perspective, the screen being split in 4 would make things kind of shitty. no im not sure. i just thought that was possible since i know you can add a 2nd controller, and you can play with 4 players online... but i guess i was wrong then. Sorry, you are wrong, only 2 players can play in the same console/TV at the same time, even though there's online for 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While not the best example, I think Dungeon Siege III does this online. Despite everyone having their own full viewing area, they still force the 4 users to awkwardly share the same screen. If it weren't for poor usage of camera angles, or so I read in various reviews, I think 4 players on the same screen can be done right.... might get a little confusing but what isn't these days. cod world at war and black ops have coop zombies... but that completely sucks.. Again, is it 4 player split screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griefheart Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Just FYI Borderlands is a grind, all the equipment is very similar after a while and it just gets lame, I did like the entire thing with Em, 2 player splitscreen was bad enough, 4 player would be awful.

Jason_Rocks68 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Here's a website I found that mostly deals with Co-op games for all platforms. This link is for all PS3 Co-op games, it looks like most of them favor online over local, hope this helps. http://www.co-optimu...ystation-3.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreakon139 Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 I'm starting to think the only games with 4-player local gameplay and trophies are the LittleBigPlanets and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. Maybe I'll need to re-purchase the latter someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreakon139 Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Mortal Kombat, 4 player tag battles. Well, I'm looking more for a game that... ideally... is a sit down game with friends. Play through a story. Go up some levels. Get some flashy equipment. That kind of stuff. An adventure, you know? I guess that LittleBigPlanet doesn't really meet that criteria come to think of it... but eh. Castle Crashers is closer to what I'm looking for, but not only have I already beaten it, it's not quite the serious adventure game I'm looking for. Dungeon Siege III (if the developers weren't lame) would have been the perfect mix of 4-player local coop and serious adventure... but alas...
