Sorry if this is already a topic or if it belongs somewhere else but I and several others in various other threads have asked about any info regarding the ability to play Team VS with 4 players on the same console. It's definitely doable and as someone else mentioned there are almost NO games out there that make it worth it to buy more than 2 controllers. While the arcade feel is great and all for some people I have much fonder memories of all my friends gathered in one room talking and hanging out while beating the crap out of each other not just talking over headsets miles away.

Not to mention most of my friends wouldn't buy the game themselves and if they did they don't all have PS3 like I do so we couldn't play anyway. But if people come over to my place they'd definitely play especially a 4 player mode.

So again sorry if this most people don't think this warrants a separate topic but for those of us who are interested in local multiplayer modes still in this day and age of alienated gaming, please any information that can be obtained via twitter or interviews, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

This is a good topic. I have no idea if this will be available obviously, but my question is this:
Are we talking about 4 players on screen at the same time? Probably not, that would be chaos.
You mean , like the tag team we have seen so far?
But does that mean that in the first team , only 1 player will fight and the other one will wait , with the controller on his hand, until player 1 brings him in for 10 seconds, or just for a special move? I dont see how this will work...
It only makes sense if 1 player is controlling the whole team 1....
I would love to play with 3 friends (either online or offline), but waiting there with the controller, just to be there for 10-20 seconds, i am not sure i will like this....
PLus, who says my friend will bring me in at all? lol
anyone knows how this will work?

Pretty sure he meant tag team, and that would be a fuckin sweet option. Online is great and everything, but nothing beats having a group of friends in the same room playing together. I bought 4 controllers for split-screen Modern Warfare and it's so much more fun than online because it's not so friggin serious, especially if alcohol gets involved, which it invariably does.

That'd be nice, I remember DOA3 doing this back on the original Xbox. It was actually loads of fun. We'd gather around the campfire I'd set up in the living room, breaking the fire safety code, throw a boar on the spit like a bunch of cavemen, and proceed to beat the living shit out of each other in 2 teams of 2 tag battles. It was probably one of my favorite things about that game, and I'm surprised more fighting games don't do it more often.

The first game i played that had an option like this where you could tag in and out was tekken tag back for the ps2. It was the sole reason i bought the game and i would love to see it in mortal kombat. You have to so be on your toes in case your partner is suddenly like..."YOUR TURN!"

You should play the Dead or Alive games. You can do Tag Team moves that switches your partner in. And it's also 4 player offline, each person has one character. But I forgot which games did that, probably all them but DOA1 has this,

Yeah sorry I definitely meant TAG, lol. And yes unfortunately you would undoubtedly have the above mentioned issues as you have it with any Tag game (Tekken Tag, DOA, Wrestling games, etc.). You'd still have that problem with 2 players Local as one Team vs another pair of players as a team on a different console. It's the nature of tag. So I don't see why that should count out 4 player local. If anything it makes it easier to just give your partner a signal to tag you in or that you're gonna tag out. Of course the other team may know unless you're cues are more subtle, lol. But that's the fun of it. Especially when, as another poster mentioned, there is indeed alcohol and partying involved.
