Can a PS3 play multiplayer without being online?
If so how. Motorstorm says 1 to 12. F1 is the same. How do you do it? I dont want to play online. If this thing wont play multiplayer its useless as a gaming system. I also would not have bought it. Any help would very much be appreciated.

Re: Can a PS3 play multiplayer without being online?
It's not the system, it's the games - some are multiplayer (offline/split screen/online/lan/etc) and some obviously aren't....

Re: Can a PS3 play multiplayer without being online?
Thanks for the info. It just sucks because my wife wanted to be able to race me with the formula one game and I never dreamed that you couldnt go head to head on a system that is as elaborate as this. I mean the Atari 2600 games did this and its 40 years old.

Re: Can a PS3 play multiplayer without being online?
I agree that it's ridiculous how many of these games don't handle offline multiplayer (especially racing games -- good grief!).
Usually if you read the specs on the back of the box closely, you can tell which are which. I can tell you that Virtua Tennis will do it, and I'm pretty sure that Resistance: FoM will as well.
Warhawk is apparently online multiplayer ONLY! (i.e., no single-player mode.) Too bad.

Re: Can a PS3 play multiplayer without being online?
You can play Warhawk split screen (up to 4 players I think) but, right, no single player game...

Ooh, good to know. That moves it from "no chance" into the "maybe pick up sometime" category. . .

Re: Can a PS3 play multiplayer without being online?
I think they modified the way the package reads now. Unreal Tournament III reads "1 player (2- 18 online)". A bit better explanation as I too was confused with Motorstorm and expected split screen action

Re: Can a PS3 play multiplayer without being online?
I guess the best advise before buying the game is to read up on it or better yet, rent one to try out. While I've not had time to game as much these days (stupid residency..), the games that come out these days lean more towards online multiplayer. But at least some of the "wiser" publishers do let u multiplay on the one box....

Re: Can a PS3 play multiplayer without being online?
You can't play FIFA head-to-head? WTF?!?!?! 
I thought the demo was great, and was considering getting it to play with the Mrs. (my sister-in-law was actually a pro soccer player).

Fifa is a multiplayer game, you can play 1-7 offline and 2-8 online.

Re: Can a PS3 play multiplayer without being online?
It couldn't be multiplayer in the UK and single-player in the US. . .could it?

I'm pretty sure the US version has local multiplayer. If such a feature was missing, it would have gotten a lot of publicity in reviews etc, and it hasn't...
high resolution ipod featuring dlp hd programming is the best, almost as good as playstation 2 with wega windows media on a super cd! ps2 and tivo do dolby tv with broadband hdtv!
