No.
No split-screen, sorry. The developers had this to say about the decision to cut it.

Thats a real shame. I can understand the decision but unfortunately there're probably going to loose out on my purchase. Split screen is a must for me in this kind of game.

I don't believe it does.

I want Mt. Fuji but the competitive nature of everyone on my FL and my comfort with it's controller swayed me. Basically, Net_Wrecker made me change my pre-order to 360.
Played the demo today, and I must say...
I feel justified with my pre-order decision. The game is a ton of fun to play, and lord oh lord is it the best feeling in the world when you go into Super Tricky state. Best feeling man.
Its a bit hard to pick up, but after numerous attempts, I finally got the game to mesh.
Cant wait till 2/28.

Is this to be my legacy? The pre-order changer?
I'll live it. I'll embrace it. I'll perfect it.

I am gonna go ahead and add myself to the PS3 list, as I may be buying the PS3 version instead of 360

Played the demo. I just have a blast messing around, doing cool tricks, and listening to nice, chill music. But since I'm not interested in getting high scores or fast race times I feel as though I'm playing it wrong, in a way. :/
Nothing wrong with that! I intend to play it in the same was as well. I don't know what happened to me, but long gone are the days of multi-million combos on SSX and Tony Hawk sessions in my youth.

If I have a PS3 that can't read discs, would I still be able to play the demo? It's worth a shot I guess, so I'll try it this weekend.
I need to add more GAF names, apparently. I've got 3 other people that have done a lap. Still 7+ seconds behind you :/ Course, I just realise that R2 was boost!

Darn this game is harder than it looks I struggle to get more than 2mln on the demo bulldog. Stick controls.
lol I think my fault might be hanging in the air with tricks too long? That and I need to master grinding on rough edges.
That Long rail+Train (that starts on the "left side"), I feel like it really speeds up the time...but I've used it 5 or 6 times. Maybe it's not REALLY helping.

What lines are you guys running for Bulldog in the demo? I normally go right at the start, stay right for a bit, then keep toward the center. After the dam, I keep to the right until the huge drop after which I transfer over the to left which is where I generally stay until the end. My high score is about 24.1m. Really struggling to improve it. Should I have more than about 2.5-3m at the top of the dam?
Also, what seems to be the best application for signature tricks? Save them for long drops or throw them out more often?

Can't seam to get over 9M, Silver on bulldog... Seam to mess up around the dam, keeping the tricky going right before it is a bit tough..

Hold the left or right face button while on the ground to do a manual that will prolong your combo.
I'm in the same boat, and I love it.
This is probably the most time I've spent playing a demo. So far I've gotten my JT2 time around 1:52 minutes and sitting at 18 mil on Bulldog. Considering how much time I've put into just these two tracks, I don't even want to begin to think about the 150+ in the full game.
Just played the demo. I have no idea what I'm doing but holy crap it's incredible. Still can't quite wrap my head around preloading the jump and switching to tricks. But i'll get there eventually. I didnt get Tony hawk at first but eventually that became second nature and this will to.

I cant get over 8M... and I am even doing the manuals and stuff.
When I focus too much I seem to fall more...so maybe thats that haha
But I cant wait to get home and play DEMO until midnight again...
ed: Also who thought that it would be good idea to sort psn names in the list? Now it is mish mash of people I added with people I havent in between.
Demo is crazy fun, put a good two or three hours into it the last two nights which is alot for me. Love tricking but I'm not sure I'm all that fond of Bulldog. Working on my time has been fun as well, could certainly use some new times to shoot for. I'll be picking this one up day one for sure.

Bulldog's terrain goes to fucking shit at the end. It's all gravy up to there, but that damn icy river almost always catches me and causes me to make a stupid mistake. Got my 24 mil run staying up high to the left.
Yeah, I just figured out that there was another drop today so I'm still working on figuring out Bulldog. I'll always end up on the right side so I'll have to give that shot. Just staying out of the ravine is a bitch for me. Don't even get me started on the dam.
Still pretty new to it overall, not even sure how to manual at this point. I guess that'll be something to try out tomorrow.

Following the dam, stay to the right side after the first huge drop. You should soon see a kicker that will transfer you to the left side.
'Houdini' by Foster The People is seriously going to be in my rotation for months. Such a great song.
They seem the same more or less. They even have slow down at that same moment when the helicopter is first on.
Finally played the demo on PS3
Dear god, I must have played the same level for over two hours just to beat that one guy on my friendslist. Every time his ghost rider passed me I wanted to scream bloody murder, but when I finally beat him, I felt amazing, and fist-pumped the air in triumph.
They might be on to something here, this ridernet system is crazy effective at making you want to one-up the people on your friendslist. If i didn't have shit to do today, i'd be playing right now, to beat his outrageous trick-it score, that bastard.
Also, that Run DMC Tricky-remix when you fill up your meter completely, with the enormous bass-quakes when you land, is simply fantastic.
Day one!
