Yeah, but who has two keyboards? That's just crazy talk.
Would be a lot different if from day 1 they said "split screen coop not availble on PC. Which wasn't the case at all.
That's pretty shitty. It's bad enough that online multiplayer isn't there at launch, but now PC owners aren't ever getting offline co-op? So basically PC owners don't have any kind of multiplayer until whenever the online update comes out.
Yeah, this is what annoys me the most about this whole thing. I already got the game on PC, too. And to think they were talking about offline co-op so much before release (perfect to play with your girlfriend etc.)... I feel like I was tricked.
Does this mean we have to play online with someone else in order to play through the campaign?
Same bullshit like Diablo 3?
Why do publishers do this?
They treat PC players like second class citizens.Not a big deal for me, local co-op was never really a big thing on the PC and I'm not interested in it anyway, so this won't affect my purchasing decision.
Still, I guess Capcom should've handled this better, like giving out a warning sooner...
Yep it's pretty shitty since there was no mention of this beforehand. At least with Raid Online MP can still happen in some form. But with SP were left out in the cold for an entire feature.
To be honest, I wouldn't know much about it. There are few Capcom games I was ever interested in, all I can remember playing is the Lost Planet series and some Resident Evil games. Never had any problems with them... the only complaint I have is RE 5 DLC not being available on the PC, but there are rumors we may soon get the Gold Edition on Steam.They treat PC players like second class citizens.
I thought that Capcom were usually good with their PC ports so why the hell would they do this?

I can't imagine why this should be necessary. If this is a short-term delay on it for playtesting reasons, they should communicate that clearly. Otherwise, it just looks like an arbitrary shortcoming for an otherwise high-end version.
There are probably more games coming out on PC with local multiplayer than there are on consoles now a days.I'm not a PC gamer, but exactly how many new PC games still have local multiplayer? Seems like something very few people would take advantage of.
Still having it on the listing is scummy though.

2) this wasn't cut for technical reasons. I'd guess it has to do with piracy.
Uh. How would split screen mean anything for piracy?1) lol at people having that old-school image of playing solely with a keyboard

Somebody take to the forums with a wbacon symbol, it worked for me when I asked about preorder goodies once.
You can't even do that. Since raid is online only no lan from what I hear. Plus as was said SP is only split screen. So no one on PC is ever playing that coop.Wouldn't cutting co-op encourage piracy? If you can't play on one machine, you'd need to pirate two copies to play it co op on two machines.
At this point, I have no hope for the vita version what so ever. Pretty sure they left that to the hands of third party so they don't get the blame when it comes out even more bastardized than it already is.So Crapcom puts it on feature parity with the Vita version
Why should I have to rely on a hacky mod to do it?

Controllers are a thing on PC.
360 controllers along with XINPUT functionality is supported by most titles these days. Hell most will let you play with the keyboard and controller at the same time if you want.
I have two controllers, which is all I need to play this game.
I do, I also have multiple USB controllers.
PC the new Nintendo confirmed?
Sad news, no sale from me.
Wouldn't cutting co-op encourage piracy? If you can't play on one machine, you'd need to pirate two copies to play it co op on two machines.
Uh. How would split screen mean anything for piracy?
Eh doubtful. Since cutting it out means no one on PC can play the SP coop. My guess after I read it somewhere. Is that the game on PC will support higher Resolutions. For some reason the Split Screen either caused issues in scaling or something else so they cut it. Rather than going "Splitscreen only availble for 1920x1080 and lower". Nothing official but that is the only thing I have seen that can hold some water.Err piracy was a bad guess.
I think it more has to do with the size of the install base.
There are more potential buyers on PC than on consoles, PCs are more available.
Cutting that would mean everyone would have to buy a copy to actually play.
Only speculation though.
Now the really dumb thing to do by Capcom is to simply disable co-op instead of entirely removing co-op functionality from the master build executable. The whole scheme would be hilarious.
