List of local multiplayer games

From PCGamingWiki, the wiki about fixing PC games
Revision as of 10:03, 22 October 2013 by Fwinest JediThug (talk | contribs) (→‎Native (Steam): added gatling gears, megabyte punch)

Project aim

  • Offer a complete list of PC games which support multiplayer co-op or versus gameplay on a single device.

Instructions

  • Games which only support LAN Play multiplayer (multi-device over a single internet connection) are not to be included in this list. This list is only for single-device multiplayer.
  • All games should be listed alphabetically in their respective sections. The only exception to this rule is series' which don't go alphabetically in order of release. For example: Saints Row 2, Saints Row: The Third, and Saints Row IV. These should be listed in order of release rather than alphabetically.
  • The Notes section should be reserved for type of gameplay, that being versus or co-op, as well as issues users may experience when attempting to play the game in co-op. Key examples include the inability to use more than one keyboard/mouse, restricted to only using controllers, and the game's use of non-Steamworks DRM types.

Discussion

Key terms

  • Local multiplayer: Local multiplayer can refer to both single-device and LAN multiplayer, please do not use this term with regards to this page as this page does not include games which require more than one PC.
  • Couch co-op: A commonly-used term that is synonymous with Single-Device multiplayer.
  • Hot Seat: Also known as "Pass and Play", this refers to games which only support a single input device which is passed around amongst multiple players.
  • Single-Screen: Single-Screen refers to a viewpoint which holds all local players in view at once. It's most common in side-scrolling and top-down perspectives.
  • Split-Screen: Split-Screen is a feature that gives each player a separate section of the screen. It is most common amongst the racing and FPS genres.
  • Dynamic: Dynamic Split-Screen refers to game viewpoints or "cameras" which switch between Single-Screen and Split-Screen depending on the locations of each player.[1]
  • Co-op version of single-player campaign: This refers to the ability to play the normal "story mode" or single player game, but with more than one player.
  • Co-op-exclusive campaign: This refers to a campaign which is only playable in multiplayer, meaning that it is designed for co-op and is unplayable in single-player.
