Is local co-op split-screen?
Couch co-op has been a staple of console versions of the game since day one and allows for up to four players at any given time. The screen can also be split horizontally or vertically, although players may need to tinker with the field of view settings a little to really get the best out of the experience.
How does Quarry couch co-op work?
Couch co-op allows multiple people to play The Quarry by assigning themselves different characters. It is an odd style of couch co-op in terms of video games, as couch co-op titles typically involve competition or working together, not role-playing in a narrative drama.
