@illu

“Split-screen rendering works! It still needs a lot of tweaking but I’m pretty excited. It’ll be the 1st good game since Liero to allow this.”
I’m sure “good” doesn’t mean “soldat/worms like” I was just pointing out that good is an opinion. And to say it’s the first good game in 12 years with split screen is something I dissagree with.

The time line was to demonstrate a varied history of split screen with many different genres.

As for Teeworlds, I just assumed it was split scren as my brother once asked me if I wanted to play him at teewars and we
only had one pc.

soldat can create split-screen in the new release?
We could do some research. I don’t know if it’s possible.

@APerson: come on…

1993 Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine
1996 Super Worms
–> both are not AFTER liero

1999 Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
–> is not “soldat/worms like game” because of many many reasons (3d for example)

2001 Halo: Combat Evolved
–> same

2003 Teeworlds
–> has no splitscreen support afaik

2004 Armagetron Advanced
–> wtf? it’s tron-racing in 3d – no “soldat/worms like game”

2010 Capsized
–> maybe the only valid one, but it’s not released yet

MM, you are the best 😀 finaly not only the console users have great split-screen games!
Also the patch maker of soldat can create split-screen in the new release?

Also if we assume ‘first one of a kind’ (where you kill and destroy shit and the game does not look cartoonish) then it’s actually the first one.

1993 Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine
1996 Super Worms
1998 Liero
1999 Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
2001 Halo: Combat Evolved
2003 Teeworlds
2004 Armagetron Advanced
2010? Capsized http://www.alientrap.org/capsized/

But then again good is subjective.

Okay, now I noticed the shit I thought about wasn’t a splitscreen actually, just a co-op;)

Keep it up!

Haha, well I bet it won’t be realy the first one since Liero, it’s still a good news tho.
