i feel i have to comment on this as i feel quite strongly about this, not just in the wipeout series but other games too.

split screen is awesome, simple as.

online is great, it's the next step, but by no means a replacement for the experience of sitting next to your best mates and beating the hell out of them at a game. or passing the control around while you chill out, socialise and have a great time. wipeout is one of those games which work great single player and multiplayer.

ramming a quake up someone's ass, then seeing their reaction beside you is what i'm talking about!

to not have something that was introduced over ten years ago and is a staple of gaming, would be a real let down and inexcusible. especially a feature present in past wipeout games.

too many games lately lack this option, today we want, single player, split screen, online and online split screen. it is been done, can be done and should be done with all games that would benefit from it, wipeout been one of them...and on the ps3, it should be possible.

i suspect this won't be in Wipeout HD, but should be in the next PS3 wipeout.
