The split screen from the Budokai Tekaichi series is usable in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber in the upcoming Bandai Namco game. But the fans, as seen in one conversation over the social network Reddit, believe that developers may not really keep the feature to just one level.

It explains that until someone is really determined and has to fight a threat like Cell in actuality, they may spend time in there for years. But then it’s not the case and a variety would really be appreciated by Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero fans as far as the feature is concerned.

Split Screen Won’t Really Matter in the Next Dragon Ball Game

Split screen in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero has been a topic of debate since its arrival. They want it to be implemented at all levels to get the classic Budokai Tenkaichi experience. A few of them were so eager that they began hoping that modders would do justice to the Bandai Namco game.

But then, again, Jun Furutani explained why they did what they did. It could only have affected the ultimate experience they wanted in the game. Spike Chunsoft has spent a great deal of effort to make it as cinematic as they could. And the results are just spectacular.

The feature is indeed a staple of the Budokai Tenkaichi series. However, Dragon Ball fans must realize that a larger chunk of the community will be playing it online.

It may be great to give the users a sense of nostalgia, but if we pay some attention to it, the feature won’t really matter when such a great experience comes to their screens.

Do you want the split screen feature to be included in the game? We would like to know your thoughts about it in the comments section below.
