I need to get this game, since I have no 360 and this game ain't coming to PS3, I'm gonna have to get it on PC. But why no split screen for PC?
I refuse to believe it's the "norm" not to have splitscreen for PC, PC nowadays support multiple monitors and has more USB ports for extra controllers than any consoles.
@Rotondo: Yes, that's how I've been playing it withmy brother, and with dual monitors too. It's possible because there's a split screen script that was left there in the PC version, but Left 4 Dead 2, doesn't have this script. At least that's what cooptimus reported, let's see if anyone find it in the near future.
@rich8606: You'd think with the power of a good gaming PC with multi GPU, that you can't use two separate monitors to have two people play co-op with their own screen.
If I remember right when the PS3 was first announced that it was going to have 2 HDMI connections so any game with multiplayer, each person can have their own full screen. Then Sony realized that the Cell wasn't all that powerful to render graphics and wasn't cost effective to do so. *Sigh*
@Rotondo: You gotta be fucking kidding me.... So they left the split screen script in the PC version too?!? Why not just have the split screen option from the main menu? It'll be easier for all of us.
@rich8606: Because then they would have to put two Minimum Specs for the game, one for a single player and one for Split Screen...Requires more video processing for split
@RoyMussenden: Fortunately, Valve's games are not the most graphically advanced anymore. It all comes down to polygon count with this game, what with hundreds of zombies on screen. I should be fine with my rig right now.
Is the jumping always like this?
It seems even more floaty than LBP, and after the numerous comments made by people saying that MM needs to take platform lessons from Nintendo because the jumping "sucked" I should hope that was just the video.
Still, I liked the floatyness of LBP, picking this up tonight for the missus, she wants a new game to play together on her Wii and wont let me go for Darkside Chronicles... #newsupermariobroswii
@Blore07: It's because the framerate is awful and the game is slowing down. Emulating new consoles is a pretty tough task even for fast PCs. #newsupermariobroswii
@YayMii:
Dual-core works fine, really. I've gotten 50-60fps on Melee and roughly 30fps (60fps indoors) in Animal Crossing: City Folk on my three-year-old laptop.
Is it just the video, or is the game really that slow and the jumping so "floaty?" With all that sliding Mario's doing when he tries to stop moving, it looks like the controls may be frustrating. #newsupermariobroswii
You know, I'll probably be called a heretic, blasphemer and be unstarred and possibly banned, but...
...I don't really like the SMB Theme.
*dodges shoe*
I mean, it's not that it's a bad song, it's just that there is much, MUCH better 8-bit/NES music out there that I personally think is leaps and bounds beyond the Mario Bros. Theme (I'll leave it up to you to WILDLY (sarcasm) guess which series in particular I have in mind). Sure it's a classic, but I think people love the song so much simply because it was part of the icon of their childhoods more than because, you know, the song is actually good.
Though I do admit it is pretty neat that a laser cutter can do it pretty much perfectly. I just wished they'd use other, better (IMO) 8-bit musi-
@RockyRan: I agree, partially. I think the reason people like the theme so much, is not simply because it sounds fantastic, because in reality, it doesnt, it's an extremely simple song, but because of what it is related to. The mario game(s) that it came from are iconic and considered classic, and pioneering, thus, making it's theme also very memorable and VERY nostalgic. Also, everybody knows it, so it also wins points in the "hey! i know that song!" factor.
I, personally prefer the tetris theme, some megaman themes, and others more than the mario theme, however, none can bring me back like the simple, classic theme of that generic italian super-plumber. #mods
ATTN: Guy who taped it: Shut the hell up! "HEY GUYS THIS SOUNDS AWESOME WOW I WISH YOU COULD HEAR IT BUT YOU CAN'T SINCE I WON'T SHUT UP"
Though to be honest, "Stuff playing the mario theme" is getting really, really old. At least make it play something else. :\ Where's the zelda dark world theme, or something? Maybe To Zanarkand like that guy did with LBP? #mods

That is not in-game music and that is not how the game plays because it is running on an emulator.
So many people seem to be asking these questions without reading other people's comments... #newsupermariobroswii

That emulator needs a Quad Core computer to run properly.
And the messed up bluish objects in the background is due to the emulator too. #newsupermariobroswii

Agreed. A classic Mario sidescroller with four player multiplayer and a level editor could give LBP a run for it's money. #newsupermariobroswii
