Upcoming Shooter 'Neon Shadow' Uses Split Screen for Single iPad Multiplayer

by

The upcoming cyperpunk-themed first-person shooter Neon Shadow includes a unique multiplayer mode that allows two users to play on a single iPad, according to our sister-site TouchArcade.

That's not the crazy part though, as Crescent Moon and Tasty Poison have worked together previously on the truly excellent Pocket RPG [$4.99]. No, the crazy thing is that Neon Shadow will feature a same-device co-op multiplayer mode on the iPad, and to my knowledge that's the first time an FPS has done such a thing on iOS. Seriously, check out how it works in this new video of Neon Shadow.

There is no information on pricing, but Neon Shadow is expected by the end of summer.

One of the first games I played for the iPhone was an air hockey game that let 2 players defend their own goal.

But I guess this is two separate huds and whatnot

So other games shouldn't do this, then?

This would never work with me. I'd constantly be ripping the iPad out of the hands of the other player. Well, at least flinching and messing up the other player.
