Resident Evil 5 gets Offline Split Sreen Co-op as well

[A-J]

This comes off as a pleasent surprise, apparently IGN tells us that at TGS capcom confirmed that the they are including an offline split screen co-op mode in the game as well.

Capcom refers to the offline co-op play as, appropriately-enough, "Offline Co-op Mode." This mode delivers the same co-op experience as offered by the online co-op mode, only with two local players controlling the action in split screen.

They also have their own hands on with the game at the event which can also be reached via the link below.

Yaaay that way I can play it with my bro too

[Nomad9026]

That is great, I was really hoping for it.

Am I the only person who will prefer to use 2 TV Sets to play Offline Coop Play ?

[The Dude]

I'd prefer that, but that'd mean 2 consoles and 2 TV's.

But im happy for split screen, just curious how the game holds up the frame rate.

[Handsome Rob]

I actually don't own either a XBOX360 or a PS3, though, isn't a PS3 able to support two tv sets, is it?

[News Bot]

All we need is System Link. plz

[Carnivol]

Split-screen?
Sweet!
I'll be there day one

I wonder if the game will degrade itself while playing in spit screen mode. Games like Quake on the DC looked sub par if you played split screen with a buddy. Then again these are stronger systems so who knows.

Would be nice to hear more info on a PC release as I don't have a PS3 or 360. It would be cool to go blast some baddies with some of the board members here.

Where did you get it?

[Darkmoon]

Interesting. This should make things more interesting. I may be able to go online now...but I'd rather not.

[Stu]

Where did you get it?

Right click it and you'd see it was famitsu.com.

[aris13]

Already did thanks man

[abbatoo]

Nice. I'm looking forward to throwing some beer cans at my buddies heads when they screw something up (vice versa too, of course).
Hell of a lot more fun than smack talking over Live or PSN.
