Twisted Metal is gonna have four-player splitscreen and online so that you'll have the option to play the game whenever you happen to have people over at your house or with friends who are far away. I think the real tragedy is co-op games that don't have splitscreen. If a friend is over and wants to play a game with me I shouldn't have to tell him to go home and fire up his own console and copy of the game (if he even has one).
I just think more games should try to have both online and local multiplayer. Notice that the most popular multiplayer shooters of this generation: Halo, Call of Duty, and Gears, all have splitscreen. Every console Call of Duty game actually has four player splitscreen and I appreciate them for keeping that in.

I think that has more to do with how Sony and Microsoft have implemented online multiplayer however. I just don't like playing with a bunch of strangers because it's either very impersonal or abusive. It's why I play all my shooters on PC with dedicated servers (if you can find your friends often on Xbox that's great). I feel like what Sony and Microsoft have done is a bad imitation of the PC experience that feels less natural for the console space compared to local.
