I thought, why not just put a small window inside the game showing the opposite side of the planet. It would help to make sure you know what is going on everywhere. More intel. Anyway, if this has been mentioned, sorry, I didn't see it. View video for demo. (I know it doesn't show the back of the planet, but it is just a mock-up)
I am sure this has been mentioned before, but no reason not to repeat it again. Great idea, great demo.
Im sure this will be an implemented feature. Multiple windows is a target for the developers. More than 2 wndows and other things will be available to systems that meet the requirements.
they have been very strong in pushing picture in picture and multi-moniter support. I'm assuming this will be very doable by release.
