Did some console beat'em up used this before the 5th generation?

No, SoR1 should have used it though.

I wish even when the 5th generation rolled around we only got a whopping 2 beat em ups that had 3 player co-op and that was Three Dirty Dwarves (Sat) and Captain Commando for the PSx. A 6 player co-op 4 meg ram cart game would've been epic on the Saturn!

Well, Saturn barely handled 2 players co-op on the D&D games, so...

They couldn't put 3 players on the warriors of fate port either, which was just a cps1 dash game, i think PS1/Saturn would melt with games like alíen vs predator.

That was due to questionable programming moreso than anything the Saturn could do. I mean if Three Dirty Dwarves could have it and Captain Commando then why no other game?

Three players?! Just had my mind blown!

Because CPS2/CPS1-dash are of course more powerful than that imperfect CPS1 port (PS1 CapComm) or three dirty dwarves.

Stìll, i would have loved a 2 players port of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs.

The problem is, most enthusiasts here would probably be struggling to find two other people interested in playing the game with them regularly enough to make it worthwhile trying to implement a three player mode. That's my situation anyway.

Also, the game's massive sprites would surely be prohibitive in trying to do that (despite rumours it might push double the sprites of SOR3 or whatever, I'll believe that when I see it). If the game had been designed around SOR1 size sprites then that might be a different story.

Seriously nailed it. I know the retro scene is doing pretty well but it is still really niche and I struggle to find people who want to play more then 30 mins lol. The 3/4 player co-op in a beat em up is so overrated it becomes a shit show pretty fast.

I'm no Saturn fan(I'm sure the console and games are good, but duck fiscs), but Guardian Heroes is 6 player(as is the Fire Pro Wrestling game, and let's not forget the 10 player Bomberman, and 2 12 player homebrews http://www.racketboy.com/retro/satur...mes-best-multi) so I seriously doubt it's much of an issue for the Saturn.

If gameplay/difficulty is affected (less enemies on screen), I am not really interested in a 3 player mode. Incorporating these kind of features could ruin the enjoyment of the game.

..WM said 3 players at the same time for pjy?

Nah ... Just giving my thoughts on such an idea.

I prefer a strong & solid gameplay with "only" a 2Player mode than a bad gameplay with a 3Player mode.

For members who are able to post in the WM forum, please tell us what you think about this idea :

If you read the last XGoldenboyX message here, we can conclude that Project Y is in an (intensive) internal BETA phase,
not yet in a External Beta Test phase. But more the game will be polished & improved before External Beta, easier it will be for the next steps.

We can conclude absolutely nothing regarding the game's build status. TBP I know you're hyped for this game but you read way way too much into what is said by individuals :)
