What consoles do you play very regularly?
Re: What consoles do you play very regularly?
Up until recently it had been just the 360 all the time, then I started realizing how much more I enjoy my ps3. Recently I've been on a big retro kick, playing old PS1 rpgs and even went out and bought a SNES (haven't owned one in 15 years). Also bought a Vita recently too. I think most of all right now it's been the PS3.

Xbox 360, Mega Drive, DS, 3DS, Gameboy and Master system. I think the amount of time on each console is pretty even steven. At the moment I think my 360 probably gets the least amount of attention, I've played my single player games to death and I don't care for online multiplayer!
Why is good old split-screen so rarely included in games now days?!

Re: What consoles do you play very regularly?
Quite simply, because of Microsoft. Although Sega first included online play as a built-in feature of a system with the Dreamcast, it was the Xbox (and more so, the Xbox 360) that really popularized online play. With so many 9 year olds playing online, developers don't think it's worth it to have split screen anymore, and when they do, they cop out on it. Look at the Goldeneye remake for Wii. I got SO excited when I saw that it had local multiplayer. Then I realized there were no damn bots.Jungell wrote:Why is good old split-screen so rarely included in games now days?!

I don't think I've played anything but Saturn, PS2 or PC in the last month. Maybe like 15 minutes of Xbox. I should really play more PS3 but for whatever reason I neglect it

That's how I am with my Wii. I've got several great games for it that I haven't beaten (like any of the three parts to Metroid Prime Trilogy), but for whatever reason, I just don't play it. That Dreamcast, man; it sucked my soul.sabrage wrote:I don't think I've played anything but Saturn, PS2 or PC in the last month. Maybe like 15 minutes of Xbox.
