[Confirmed] No splitscreen Multiplayer

Stephen Totilo of the MTV Multiplayer blog has posted recently that the feature just isn't there. He says he learned of this from Rockstar Games itself as he played a Devkit version of the game via a local network in the developer's New York City office.

The blogger points out that limitations in hardware is a probable reason for the feature being omitted. He reasons that the sheer size of Liberty City being rendered split-screen may be a bit too much even with the hardware of the Xbox 360 and the PS3. He also points out that the feature seems less essential in an age when most people who'll be playing GTA 4 can easily have multiplayer action online.

I wouldn't want to play it in split screen anyway, it's not suited to this type of game if you ask me it's more a lonesome game but with the added extra option of XBL

indeed, normally I love splitscreen, but with GTA IV it would propably ruin the atmosphere of the game.
