So, I had a friend over today. This is the Wii gun/beat-me-to-Rocksmith friend. Seeing as we have two Rocksmith guitar leads and two electric guitars between us, she brought her guitar around and we thought we'd play multiplayer. It was not to be... Well, actually, it was, but not until a lot of faffing around later.
You see, Rocksmith isn't happy with simply having two guitar leads. No, it also wants you to have two PS3 controllers as well... I don't really understand why, seeing as you merely use the controller to scroll between songs and all the action is happening with the guitars.
But apparently the people at Ubisoft don't agree with me. We were about to give up and do something else, until a possible work-around occured to me. And it did work.
Here is how to play Rocksmith multiplayer on PS3 with only one controller
First, you'll need to set up a user for your friend.
Each player operates their 'own' controller slot, either 1 or 2. The idea is clearly that you'll have two controllers, therefore each player will have individual control. However it is easy to circumvent this by continually reassigned the controller between the two positions. In order to do this, hold the PS3 button on the controller down, go to 'Controller settings' and go from there.
The downside is this is a complete pain in the rear end to have to do, and I really wish someone might have considered that not everyone with two guitars/guitar leads will also want to have two controllers.
