During TGS, Capcom revealed that, apparently, co-op for Resident Evil 5 on the PS3 and Xbox 360 will also be available offline. Yay for social outcasts who don't have online PSN or XBL friends! Ha, who am I kidding... I'm probably one of them.

But anyways, yes, offline co-op is an available option and, yes it's going for a split screen presentation.

As IGN describes it, offline and online co-op will still offer the same gaming experience - presumably, that means same missions, weapons, etc. The only huge exception in offline mode is that 1) your buddy is playing beside you on the sofa/beanbag/carpet/bed(?), and 2) your buddy is dispatching zombies Los Ganados beside you on-screen.
