Gamida Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Yeah I feel if you have to "convince" someone to play a game with you then neither of you will really enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus headset audio is way better than monitor speakers, also when we're in group chats with others, don't want to transmit a bunch of game audio over mics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jyd85224 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I perfered local coop with wife far more than online with friend when playing original version... . But with Enshrouded and Nightengale coming I broke down and purchased a 2nd series X.. Keep an eye out for Fist dwarf next year it will have local coop, but not many game developers want to spend the money on couch play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike other games, this one requires some hefty CPU processing and a good bit of RAM. The console is lacking in both of those because it's sharing them for the graphics. For most games that only care about the GPU, it is easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to say minecraft as that game is much more simple, but Ark is about as close as you can get to 7 days and it has local coop. The first dwarf coming out in 2025 has split screen. If Ark had minecrafts fully destructible world then it would be a close comparison. if 7d2d had not upgraded its graphics that much it would have been more like minecraft and would have been "small" enough to fit into consoles with split-screen. Fact is that 7d2d had to fight unique performance problems for all of the last ~7 years of development and needed a top rig all that time to run comfortably even though the graphics was at first far below anything released at that time. I bet no other game has that much disk traffic and no other game with such a graphic is that much CPU-bound as this one. Many people are underestimating how much it cost to make a fully destructible world instead of a static world. Other games with fully destructible world had performance problems as well as soon as their graphics gets above a certain quality. Look at Empyrion for example. Though recently Enshrouded came out and it has a destructible world and a high graphics quality though I don't know how far down. They may have found optimizations and tricks to make it possible to get a performant fully destructible world, but it would probably be a monumental task to redesign 72d2 to use those techniques, even if they could be theoretically applied. My guess is that Enshrouded only creates a thin layer of destructible world on every accessible surface. The interesting question is whether it can dynamically enlarge the destructible part when someone digs down or not. The latter is probable, otherwise they would include the fully destructible world in their marketing. If the former, it would be theoretically a way for 7D2D to improve, but it would be a major rewrite in size similar to writing a new engine to get it in.

Kitsune6969 Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Developers. Pretty please bring back couch co-op for PS5. My husband, our friends and I love playing this game together on PS4 because it was one of the few couch co-ops available. We were greatly looking forward to this release, but now we see no point in purchasing this version because there is no couch co-op. Please continue being the Fun Pimps we all know and love and bring couch co-op to consoles. Y'all could even double or triple the price to cover the cost of doing so and we would gladly pay it.

It isn't something a "pretty please" is going to fix. Not even something TFP can "just do". The reason there is no split-screen couch co-op is because none of the consoles have the core hardware required to support the amount of processing and RAM required to be able to do it. Either the game will need to be dumbed down to Minecraft quality mechanics where a held torch doesn't even light up the area around you and there is no real AI or structural integrity, or the console developers need to start shipping consoles with real hardware like dedicated GPU's with independent VRAM so the full 16GB RAM and CPU processing is actually usable by the client. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RavenJadewolfe Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I am legally blind and I can only play this with my husband's help on split screen. I'm severely disappointed in the lack of split screen on the new console version. Very unhappy with this product/franchise now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splitscreenplease Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 I recently purchased this game after playing the old version for years, me and my girlfriend loved playing together on the couch. So i got this game expecting us to be able to do the same thing with a new version of the game, nope. I never saw they never intended on supporting split screen for whatever reason, Who cares about FPS? The type of people playing split screen certainly do not, please make this option i don’t care how dumbed down the graphics have to be, this is the best aspect of the previous game. If it’s seriously out of the question i would like my money back as I will never play this game alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Go get your refund from Sony/Microsoft. Splitscreen isn't going to happen. All versions for every platform are uniform and the Xbox S cannot run the game with splitscreen. It isn't about FPS. It is about the game running at all. Hope you didn't play it too long to be able to get your refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splitscreenplease Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I will do that then, unfortunate your team doesn’t listen to costumer feedback. Lost a decent chunk of your console fan base, the ones who have been playing the longest. I guess i’ll go back to the old game. Shame on you.

It's not a matter of the Fun Pimps not listening to feedback. The hardware literally can't handle split screen play for this new version of the game. This has been known for the last few months. The Fun Pimps told us this. Do your research beforehand or stop complaining. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splitscreenplease Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 If call of duty, baldurs gate, and borderlands can all do split screen local co-op so can this game. The real reason is because they want crossplay and PC and console to be uniform, @%$# PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real reason is because they want crossplay and PC and console to be uniform, @%$# PC. It's unfortunate that it couldn't happen but the limitation of the hardware is very real. The xbox S series can't even handle more than 2-player co-op and is limited on map size. All of the consoles can only have one save file active at a time. You have it backwards. They didn't cut splitscreen because they wanted crossplay, they worked hard to make crossplay work because they knew that splitscreen was going to be impossible. Call of duty, baldur's gate. and borderlands are all static worlds and so demand way less from the hardware. It's understandable that you are disappointed by how things turned out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
