“Everything you can do online, you can do via splitscreen to include all competitive modes and the cooperative Team Invasion mode. We’ve spent a lot of time on a sweet splitscreen exclusive as well, namely the ability to lean over and punch your buddy in the arm if he looks at your screen. It’s something that you just can’t offer online, and one of the things that I really miss in multiplayer gaming. Online is a great experience to be sure, but there’s something special about having four buddies on the same couch playing in the same room. I have such fond memories of countless hours spent doing exactly that and I’m glad that we’re supporting it in Conduit 2. It [splitscreen] supports 4 players. And 2. And let’s not forget 3. For two players, you can set your screen to draw horizontally or vertically.” – Josh Olson, Senior Producer of Conduit 2
