New ro stadia but how on earth do I get local coop to work on Darksiders as I've now been trying for about an hour!?
Both controllers have permanent white glow which suggests both controllers are okay and I can play single player, but coop grates out?
Pretty sure the only game that has local co-op right now is Ghost Recon through the Stream Connect feature. That's the only one I've heard of. They said local and couch co-op is coming at some point for any games that will support it, but it's not available yet.
How do I give negative kudos to North and X? That's the real question, lol.
@steessex Since @Stoked4Good wants to deduct kudos from me, and since I never played Darksiders I figured I will eat my words from earlier (Sorry that's the best I can do). Actually, I prob can delete my post, but that would be acting like I never said anything which is a jerk move.
I offered an opinion based on what I could find. I still don't think inviting someone who can only play as a guest is true local coop, but it's not NOTHING, so I guess it counts.
I do stand by what I said, that it's based on the game you're playing. You can link up to 4 controllers locally according to Google. But multiplayer, local/couch-based co-op depends on the title you're playing.
"How many players can play on a Stadia game?
The number is dependent on the game you're playing. Stadia will support full multiplayer titles, as well as couch based co-op and single player titles."
That's a Quote from Stadia Help. That's the most I was able to find about couch-based co-op. That's why we need input from people who actually played the games like @Stoked4Good offered here.
@Stoked4Good Also since I dunno how to give up a kudo, I did make sure to at least give you a kudo for your answer, lol!
X - I was just messing, of course. We all have the right to be wrong here and there, hehe. And, I agree, this guest approach is bs. They're probably still working on a solution, and hopefully they do soon! Stream Connect is not the only approach to multiplayer gaming. Awesome as it be, SC, it's MIA w B3. Why!? : (
Thanks everyone for the responses, particularly Stoked4Good as I eventually worked the same solution out. Unbelievably you have to activate the local co-op via the summoning stone even though it suggests otherwise in one of the menu settings (with a greyed-out co-op selection.... which unfortunately doesn't do anything but mislead the user).
I'll give Ghost Recon a shot aswell as I love the local co-ops.
