Ubi director makes interesting comment about Red Steel local multiplayer

While covering Red Steel during an interview with Ubisoft's creative director Nicolas Eypert, Gamepro managed to squeeze an interesting comment from the Ubi director. This interesting tidbit, reads:

"[You'll] have up to four players. If they play together in split screens we can only say that the fight will not be only on screen."

So what could this mean, exactly? Are we reading too much into an innocent comment or is he just teasing us about future aspects of the game yet to be announced?
