Are There Any Split Screen MP games on PC?

Post by casterofdreams »

I am basically looking for RPGs, SRPGs, FPSs, and TPSs on the PC that supports local multiplayer via split screen that I can plug a couple of controllers (like the X360 controller) right in USB ports and go nuts. Any suggestions?

Not sure about those, but I know a few racing games do. Blur is a good example. It's great fun. :D

Most of the Serious Sam games have split screen MP if I remember well
Mostly harmless

That's a cool looking site. I didn't know that existed. Thank you.

I was really disappointed to find out that Borderlands for the PC lacked the multiplayer that everyone raved about on the console version. I actually found out this after I invited a friend over for a co-op session of the game. Needless to say, we were disappointed. :(

One game that I really hope will have co-op is the almost-certainly-forthcoming Just Cause 3. Me and my friend have spent so many hours on JC2 for the PC, but we have to switch the controller back and forth to have "multiplayer". If JC3 has co-op, it will be a day-1 purchase for me.

On a related note, can anyone recommend a sandbox game like Just Cause that has co-op? Any system is fine.

You could play Scorched Earth. All players on the same screen all the time. :P

But really, PC people don't do split screen really. If gathering in the same place to play, it's all about LAN parties.

It can be done in the Left 4 Dead games after a console command is put in.
