Four-player split screen: ModNation Racers has it!
It always bums me out to think that the mere inclusion of split screen in a game can be considered newsworthy. As great as Internet gaming is, it wasn't so long ago that multiplayer with friends was a much more personal ordeal -- more than anything else, I miss being able to punch people in the arm for being super cheap. But enough of that talk; this is supposed to be a post bearing happy news. Matt Thomas from United Front Games informs us of a heartwarming development on the ModNation Racers scene: the game will feature 4-person split screen, like all good cart racers should. Furthermore, two-player split screen can work in conjunction with online races, should you want to take a nearby friend on an Internet journey -- wait, that came out all wrong. The gist of this story is that ModNation Racers is pretty well covered when it comes to on-the-couch tomfoolery. Cheers to that, UFG!

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)I dragged myself through coals to try and find a ModNation beta invite, and after playing it, I think I'm just going to get Blur instead. I'm really happy to hear this. Being a big fan of local multiplayer, I'm thrilled to see some games taking advantage of the feature. Sure beats giving Nintendo another market to monopolize. @mrplow - captain obvious! I hope he shares his inevitable ekans cart and racer. I want!
In fact we as a community could make a whole set of pokemon carts! That would be sick! This is great news. Split-screen in multiplayer games is always a plus in my book. However . . . I know next to nothing about ModNation Racers. If I get excited about this game, though, it's good to know that I'll be able to play with my friends. We [used to] have a blast on Mario Kart Wii so I hope this will be a good game too. I kinda hope they make it more fun and less technical. The beta seemed to sacrifice fun for a more competitive race, as if I wanted more Gran Turismo in my kart racer or something. Still, with that local multiplayer, I might feel compelled to support such a worthy cause. How many games out there let you play online with a splitscreen partner (excluding co-op that is)? Split screen is great but developers typically put it in the back seat these days. Or they do the most absolutely fucking retarded things ever like include split screen in a game BUT they don't allow split screen system link.

Just a few weeks ago, we were picking over Gran Turismo 6 rumors, and now here we are with our very first preview. I was surprised to walk into a hands-on opportunity just one day after the title was officially announced. Surprised and pleased.
